Under the tutelage of Fulgrim, Konrad Curze quickly learned the ways of battle, and while he was never able to comprehend diplomacy or negotiation, the Night Haunter was adept at the ways of sowing terror. He hated to see the three of them getting dragged in deeper by the Emperor's hypocrisy. You will remain here and let others know of the price of pride, that we shall not have to sully our blades again.". The walls curved upwards steeply, terraced like an auditorium and striated with bands of metallic ore. Brass instruments lay about it, each one smashed or warped. They encountered a range of horrifying creatures of barely definable form, though all had in common bloated bodies that floated on invisible aetheric tides, multiple eyes, thrashing tendrils and the ability to unleash fearsome blasts of Warp energy even as they directed wave after wave of sub-human mind-slaves at the Legionaries. The warriors of the Vth Legion were to maintain perimeter integrity and not to permit Alpha Legion spacecraft to penetrate within range of the core White Scars fleet. In either case it seemed most likely that they would never meet again. The White Scars were to number among the heroes of this age, spreading across the stars to bring war and death in the name of their new master. As the White Scars fleet made preparations to depart the Chondax System, they encountered a massive Alpha Legion flotilla. Then the armoured figure spoke, and all became clear. They surged back across the heaving terrain, lumbering away from the Psychneuein attacks as best they could, trying to reach the crumbling maw of the fissure that had swallowed their Primarch. Upon turning against the Imperium, Perturabo decided to destroy any defenses that Dorn built, and build defenses that Dorn could never overcome. The secrets hidden within their reactor hearts were jealously guarded by the lords of the Red Planet and shared with no one outside the privileged circles of the elect. The constant rain of arrows from the tribesmen took their toll on the tight ranks of the Palatine's warriors. The White Scars vessels took on new trajectories and moved in perfect concert, suddenly leaping from semi-committed holding patterns into a single attack vector. Every body was unwashed and stinking and clad in shredded rags, as if the wearer had given no thought to their own bodily well-being for many solar months, perhaps even years. Blurry pict-feeds flickered into life, clarifying rapidly as Servitors adjusted the image gain logic engines. The Khan visited every Battleship in person, stamping out the last traces of rebellion where he found them. He stood, rigid, as though suddenly listening for something. Lupercal is also the name where Romulus and Remus were suckled by a she-wolf. When the White Scars granted no mercy to their foe, they did so not for the joy of simple slaughter, but in honour of the valour shown them, they held back nothing just as had a worthy foe. When they were in position, he led his Brotherhood in a daring orbital assault by launching specially modified Sojutsu Pattern voidbikes. Perhaps it had been too much to expect. No precedent existed in the Vth Legion for their actions, though under the old law of the Altak steppes on Chogoris, the crime of treachery and betrayal had only one punishment -- death. So many of you know I'm sure about 1d4chan. Some of the Warp-translated messages bore chrono-marks from many solar months previously; some had been sent, it seemed, only solar hours previously. He ordered his Apothecaries to duplicate his implants and subject his legion to the same mental mutilation, and the World Eaters soon earned a reputation as an army of remorseless berserkers. There had been no detail then, no authentication, just stray astropathic messages of dubious provenance. ultraviolet light treatment in combination with topical medications. After the Siege of Terra failed, Mortarion led his forces into the Eye of Terror and was rewarded for his service with elevation to daemonhood, ruling over a plague world he shaped into a miserable mockery of Barbarus. Why the silence? That was when Shiban realised they had been drawn into a trap. The White Scars believe the Khan is still alive somewhere within the Webway and will one day return to the Chapter in a time of great need. It is said that after being mysteriously transported from Terra through the Warp in his gestation capsule by the Ruinous Powers of Chaos, Khan landed on a planet in the Segmentum Pacificus named by the Imperium Mundus Planus, or as the native population called it, Chogoris. He had never felt the bone-deep drag that Mortarion inspired. He introduced himself as Revuel Arvida, a Sergeant of the Thousand Sons Legion's 4th Fellowship and a member of its Corvidae Cult. Mortarion planted the heel of his enormous scythe into the dust. Unlike the brutal sons of Angron or the wild wolves of Fenris, the White Scars did not lack in discipline, and though they wore the cloak of the savage, they were not the same wild killers as those more infamous of their kin. Torghun's forces had lost too many warriors to hold the ground, and soon struggled to keep them back. As the argument over the use of such abilities came to a head in the Imperium, there were those who understood that the survival of the Space Marine Legions' Librarius was balanced on a narrow ledge. The Khagan had come to Proserpo to find a friend. They rejoiced, for they had called, and Horus had answered. Each tribe the Talaskars conquered was absorbed into the larger Talaskar confederacy and Jaghatai made military service mandatory while splitting tribes up and merging them with others to remove and ameliorate tribal differences and long-standing blood feuds. These deep scars, called icepick scars, appeared when severe acne cleared. On Chogoris, the ability to wield the power of the psyker was called the "Test of Heaven."

It had never wished to look at what held it together. Stdel Museum: Visitors have been . For the sake of the Imperium, no backward step. The Khan should have been there, side-by-side with his two brothers, standing with the Angel and Magnus. The White Scars quickly found that their physical weapons had no effect on the spectral insects, their blades passing through their arthropedal forms harmlessly. The White Scars understood that fate was against them. The Emperor's judgement at the Council of Nikaea proved severe, largely as a result of His anger at Magnus for delving into forbidden sorcery in contravention of the Emperor's explicit warnings to him decades before. It was an achievement to rival any of those of his brother-Primarchs in their foundling years, and the Emperor hailed him as a true son and inheritor of the legacy He had prepared for him. He felt that Imperium was standing upon a precipice. Their cousins amongst the Space Wolves, the Rune Priests of Fenris, worked the same source for their elemental powers, though they would never openly admit it. These creatures had been a blight on the otherwise benign world of Prospero for centuries, consuming the minds of mortals. As he stared grimly at the macabre surroundings around him, he suddenly felt a restless, gentle movement in the dust. Jaghatai swore many oaths against the Drukhari because of this crime and fought them in many battles until peace had largely been restored amongst the Imperial worlds that were adjacent to the Maelstrom. Their ships were not moving to counter either threat closing in on them. He was raised as a priest, and he was apparently very gifted at philosophy and was not afraid to ask questions. Arvida was determined to follow his fate, for he believed that his destiny was somehow connected to the image of the raven associated with the Corvidae Cult's sigil that he had foreseen while he was stranded on Prospero. The White Scars and Ultramarines Space Marine Legions, supported by the Imperial Army, the forces of the Mechanicum and the Collegia Titanica, took part in the massive Imperial campaign against the largest concentration of Orks yet encountered by the burgeoning Imperium of Man. They were burned when he had broke the wards over the Emperor's secret Webway project after he had projected his astral form into the dungeons of the Imperial Palace to bring his father the dire warning of the corruption of Horus and his intentions for insurrection. The Dark Glass, like its counterpart on Terra, could access the Webway through the use of a central throne controlled by a psyker of enormous power to operate. Enraged, Mortarion backed away, Silence crackled into life, sparking with green-tinged energy. As the two vanguards closed to within Lance-range, for the first time the White Scars noticed incoming Vox-requests from the enemy on the sensorium array, and ignored them. For a second, lost in shock, Qin Xa just stared at the newcomer, breathing heavily. Ranked #1,265 of 2,598 Restaurants in Frankfurt. This means he has the blessings of ALL the Chaos gods and can call upon their forces for his own purposes. he looked down on the Terran High Lords, being normal humans compared to the Primarchs, bring about exactly the future that he saw, He ended up demonized and erased from history because of his traitorous acts against the Emperor and the Imperium. He was proven right a year after winning this holy war, when the Emperor arrived to accept Lorgar's oaths of service. Yesugei also argued that psychic sorcery should be strictly forbidden, since in dealing and bargaining with the entities of the Warp, the ever-present risk of corruption was simply too great to be avoided. The first of these worlds they encountered played host to several small cities, and unlike many other human colonies that had weathered the terrors of the Age of Strife, these appeared to have prospered at the edge of space. Swift action and a joy for the rush of combat and clash of blades were the hallmarks of its battles, tempered by a quiet and hidden wisdom that few took the time to uncover. He led the Keshig away from the danger of the ravenous Warp-spawned insects. His legion's horrific reputation was able to quell worlds into obedience without a single shot, but the Night Lords' violent excesses, exacerbated by the sociopaths and criminals that made up its ranks, caused grave concern among other Primarchs. Every stage of the escalation had brought the ruin of the Vth Legion closer -- weapons that had been made to turn upon enemies were now opening up at one another. The infant Fulgrim was deposited on the decaying world of Chemos, where most orphaned children were put to death as a waste of resources. The choice could be made, for the Traitor had been unmasked. The Khan had thought back then that they were empty threats, but he should have known better. The White Scars coordinated to perform a standard zao (known in Low Gothic as "The Chisel") manoeuvre -- full-fleet, enacted on a single command from the Vth Legion's flagship Swordstorm. It looked almost careless, as if aimless commanders had launched a half-hearted breakout without the commitment to see it through. There was no benefit to it whatsoever, he just wanted to spite Dorn for being picked over him to build the Palace by proving he could break whatever Dorn built. Atmospheric readings streamed in, adding to the visual evidence. The glowing tips of their long proboscis passed through the Terminators' Ceramite with ease. Such a callous gesture of foolish and doomed defiance set the Great Khan into a quiet rage, both for the deaths of his warriors and for the brutal acts he was now forced to undertake. Search. Perturabo's legion having to put down a homeworld rebellion after yet another hellish, thankless siege. At the last, the campaign reached its climax where it had began -- at the mesa-top city where the three Primarchs had first encountered the xenos dominators. The Khagan now began the long process of conquering the rest of the planet, which possessed only a single continent. The Khan turned to Arvida and ordered him to get him off of Prospero. Back aboard his ship, the Kaljian, Shiban Khan was unable to sit idly by. His book, the. For it was his brother -- Mortarion, the Death Lord, Primarch of the Death Guard Legion. From space it had been pristine, untouched by the industrial hyper-sprawl that had turned the throneworld of Terra into a grey-tinged ball of rockcrete and iron. Jaghatai warned his brother that though his Legion might be free of the Warp's corruption for now, the change would come, for Mortarion had made his pacts with the masters of the Empyrean, and now they would come to collect. No longer were they a shadow that haunted the fringes of the Great Crusade -- the Great Khan had brought them into the light and he intended The First Blooding to stand at the forefront of the Emperor's Great Crusade, shoulder to shoulder with the other Legions. There was substantial tectonic activity, atmospheric pollution levels were far in excess of mortal tolerances. The endless pursuit of velocity came with its costs: gunnery captains had been heard to complain of reduced Lance range, and it was well known that a White Scars warship would not carry as many troops or dropships as the equivalent vessel in a standard fleet, but such factors carried little weight in a Legion drenched in the wild-riding tradition of the Chogorian plains. The Great Khan, himself a builder of empires, was handed a destiny that saw him resigned to the role of servant and not master, bound to the ambitions of the Emperor. At first, the Legion simply followed him into the maelstrom but as tales of the Primarch's wild valour and consummate skill spread among the warriors of the Vth Legion, they soon began to compete to fight by his side. But still, he had hoped to avoid full-scale combat with his Battle-Brothers in persuading others to the honourable course. This was Mortarion's great project. As Shiban and his men launched a lightning assault upon the massive flagship, the Swordstorm's weapon batteries buffeted them in a flurry of las-fire. She ordered Shiban to get her to the teleport platform. He could see the vigour of the psychic soul glowing inside the Thousand Son Astartes like a candle-flame. It is thought that Alpharius' old bond with Horus is what influenced him to side with the traitors during the Horus Heresy, though as always Alpharius' true motives are shrouded in mystery. His rescuers saw something in the child that made them defy that tradition, and as Fulgrim quickly grew he was able to contribute to the world's industrial production. Hasik Noyan-Khan stood stoically, addressing the crouching intruders, trying to get them to stand down. Created by a bunch of regulars from Something Awful's anime subforum and launched in 2003, it serves as an English-language version of Futaba Channel.. 4chan hosts boards dedicated to just about every generalized subject you can think of (and a few specialized subjects, as well), which are named /[a letter or letter string indicating what the board is about . Though there were no life signs detected, the Khan could not shake the feeling that he heard a distinct buzzing sound. Those few records of the two often note this friendship between two otherwise isolated Primarchs. All along the front, White Scars ships probed the line and Alpha Legion ships resisted them. They would need his psychic abilities if they wanted to survive the coming conflict. Horus, who appreciated talent above appearances, also showed some favour to the Khagan, as did Sanguinius who had ever been a statesman and diplomat among his often quarrelsome brothers. And thus was the Emancipation of Drune achieved -- though not a single one of the world's populace would benefit from the defeat of their alien masters. He never actually bothered to ask the Emperor if he and his legion could do something else. As the orb of Chondax fell rapidly away aft, it was mediated by the glowing corpses of a dozen burned-out Alpha Legion warships. Though Arvida seriously contemplated becoming a part of a Legion once more, he eventually refused -- he would would remain, always and forever, a Son of Magnus and a loyal servant of the Emperor. Being such a perfectionist in all fields is what led him to brutally decimate his own legion upon gaining command, as they had not already proven themselves better than all the other legions in every way. All that returned of that band was one mutilated rider with the head of the son of the Palatine and a note saying that the people of the steppes were no longer his toys. When he emerged, Lorgar preached a new faith, the Primordial Truth of the Gods of Chaos. Soon the surviving Keshig found themselves trapped, and so they formed a broken line, determined to face the enemy. They had remained secretly in contact with Horus' partisans through arcane means at least since the campaign at Chondax. For information on the Space Marine Legions that they lead, see the Heretic Astartes character page. Swirls of drifting cloud, as thick and dark as those that swept across Ullanor, covered the ravaged planet. Their gene-sire could fight the Psychneuein, for he was made to fight them. Drive them out, and rule would pass to the uncorrupted, the healthy. Howls of agony filled the air as lumpy matter was sucked up the creatures' translucent proboscis. Warmaster Horus led a relief effort, only to have his command ship similarly infiltrated, but a battle for its bridge ended the minute Horus and the invaders' leader got a good look at each other. His faceplate was that of a suit of gold-crested Mark III Power Armour, archaic and festooned with Thousand Sons iconography. A long pistol nestled among them -- drum-barrelled, and studded with bronze kill-markers. There were others -- First Chaplain Erebus, their brother Lorgar of the Word Bearers -- but it was always every mortal's decision in the end whether to reject or embrace the corrupt promises of the Empyrean. Soon more of the creatures materialised; first a few, then dozens. As already noted, on Chogoris the use of such esoteric abilities was known as walking the Path of Heaven. Now it had become complex, far more complex. He even went so far as to commission his Legion's Artificers to created a hybrid pauldron, incorporating the iconography of both Legions, to replace the one of Arvida's that had been severely damaged during the fighting against the Death Guard. Though Mortarion had completed his great mission and the Emperor had handed down the Edicts of Nikaea forbidding the use of sorcery and the disbandment of the Legions' Librarius, there were now more sorcerers than ever amongst the ranks of the Traitors. The Khan was no fool, and of course this new galaxy would be led by Horus. Such abasement did not come easily to such a conqueror as he, one who had slain kings and tyrants across the breadth of Chogoris, but still the Great Khan knelt before this Emperor. A cold and solitary child, he rejected all attempts by Dammekos to bond with him while devouring all manner of scholarly learning. He inquired whether they had a fix on the Swordstorm. The Chogorians had always known of the existence of the Warp and the dangerous entities of Chaos that lurked within. Whatever else had happened, he thought he could come to Magnus for his counsel. Jaghatai's contribution to the development of the Space Marines psychic arts was never known by the other Legions or the rest of the Imperium. In terms of raw damage dealt their super tactic puts them at the top on turns 3+ (though early game they fall behind armies like Blood Angels).
