After he managed to guide the White Scars' fleet closer to Terra, Arvida finally succumbed to the effects of the Flesh-Change and was rendered unconscious. The White Scars had done it, as one - with no extraneous prompting -- in five seconds. The two forged a close bond on the battlefields of the Great Crusade, and though other Primarchs were eventually found and Horus rejoiced each time he was reunited with a brother, he always strove to remain the Emperor's favored servant. Jaghatai Khan adorned his tent with his greatest conquest's head, just as he had with his first enemy two solar decades before. His job was to DESTROY defenses. Another battle honour borne with pride long after the outbreak of the Horus Heresy by Loyalist and Traitor alike was that won at Drune in 881.M30, a lonely, arid world spinward of the Morpheus Rift. Pride that had swallowed Horus, as well. His lone eye did not focus -- in the past, its focus had been remorseless. The Primarchs were sorely tested, for while such as they could scarcely know fear, each soon bore a dozen and more hurts. These reports said Russ had turned rebel, and driven by his hatred for Magnus, his Legion had utterly decimated the Thousand Sons Legion and their Primarch Magnus had died at the Wolf King's own hand. Mortarion passed on his values of fortitude and relentlessness, but the grim Primarch never bonded with his brothers, with the exception of Horus Lupercal and Konrad Curze. As Jaghatai fought the hideous creatures, the ground beneath his feet gave way, the flagstones damaged by the Space Wolves' relentless orbital bombardment. The Orkish hordes of Sengr Mar and Vorgheist were cut to pieces in a series of hit and run campaigns that bore the tell-tale hallmarks of the Chogorian plains tribes' tactics. Others went with him into confinement, among them Goghal, Hibou and Torghun Khan. For more information, please see our Vulkan repeats this criticism when he faces Magnus near the climax of the Heresy, The model of Dreadnought Bjorn uses is 3.7 meters tall, and even thousands of years later he seems to have settled that rage down enough to welcome him back into the Legion as a Son, as shown in. This proved to be his downfall as they could not catch the lightly armored Talaskar tribesmen. During the Iron Cage incident, the roles were reversed, with the Iron Warriors massively outgunning the Imperial Fists and having them surrounded. This led him to throw his lot in with Horus. Dorn was furious at the action and tried to convince the painter to redo the work, but said painter seemed to have got the message and declined to do so. He promised the White Scars that his master would do everything in his power to treat Arvida's condition, for the Sigillite had long been awaiting his arrival at Terra. When he overcame the orbital defences of the Ork Warlord Overdog Mashogg, which had stymied attacks by both the Space Wolves and the White Scars, he was credited by historians only as a nameless "comrade-in-arms". The White Scars quickly found that their physical weapons had no effect on the spectral insects, their blades passing through their arthropedal forms harmlessly. All White Scars vessels were ordered not to escalate the situation and not to fire upon the interlopers unless fired upon. Their only advantage was that the creatures were blind, yet they could still sense their prey. For it was his brother -- Mortarion, the Death Lord, Primarch of the Death Guard Legion. After the battle, all the tribal elders of the Empty Quarter gathered and announced that Jaghatai Khan was now the Khagan, the "Khan of Khans," of the Empty Quarter, the rightful ruler of all its people. The Vth Legion returned to the Great Crusade not as the Pioneer Companies of old, but as the White Scars, united as a true Legion. This was but the first part of the Khagan's strategy, for tradition alone would not suffice. Of the 80,000 warriors that they led into the fighting, one in ten would perish in the five Terran years of struggle to cleanse the Circle, a baptism of fire and blood that sealed the bonds between the survivors stronger than any simple oath. He had destroyed the Librarius of the Legions only to find witches were now untrammelled amongst the Traitors. Yet, despite these qualities they were often seen as the least among their kin, followers and not lords, a fact that sat ill with warriors of such skill and dedication. These conquests were complete but slow, and the Emperor harshly rebuked the Word Bearers for their unwanted worship, destroying the temple-city of Monarchia, forcing Lorgar and his soldiers to kneel in its ashes, and ordering them to follow the Ultramarines' more secular example. He betrayed the Emperor, then his best friend Ferrus Manus, tried to sacrifice Perturabo for daemonhood, abandoned Horus' war to do his own thing with the majority of his Legion, and even during the battle of Terra itself his forces ran around butchering random civilian targets rather than participate in the actual siege. Torghun calmly replied that Hasik Noyan-Khan spoke for the Khagan. Horus and Jaghatai had always seen things the same way. One day, against all odds, the brother produced a statue of such artistic merit that it bear Perturabo's technically perfect one. The rest of his army was slaughtered, almost to the last man. When they failed to respect the policies and plans of others, it was because their own ways served them better, rarely did they make counter-accusations of their own, allowing the results they garnered to speak for the rightness of their actions. He replied that he now knew more than he had before they came to Prospero, and that everything they had been told was the truth. 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. The two Primarchs circled one another, prepared to finally engage in a deadly duel that would decide one another's fate -- speed against implacability. The Stormseer was forced to conclude that either Ahriman had been killed by the Space Wolves or had escaped into the Warp along with his master Magnus. As the clouds above them began to glow, a vibrant shard of light speared down from the smog, crackling as it hit the stone below. Their nature was untamed, but still bound by the chains of duty and honour as defined by the Chogorian code. Halfway up a staircase, on a colonnaded landing area, a line of White Scars waited. He cost himself thousands of veteran fighters and demolishing morale of an already worn down legion before doing anything of value just because he didn't think they were good enough for him. Assuming this can still be used, it allows you a bonus on turn 2, allowing you to deploy within 6 of any board edge, including your opponent's board edge, giving you greater tactical options to use this. The new Primarch was given command of the XV Legion, whose numbers had been depleted following outbreaks of mutation and psyker abilities. What the Khagan might have created in isolation from the embers of civilisation on Chogoris will never be known, for it was but a short while after his ascension to the throne that the Emperor of Mankind arrived to change his destiny forever. That's what Lorgar called the Chaos Gods -- the Primordial Annihilator. The Death Guard emerged from the Warp devoted to Nurgle, and became the first Plague Marines. Horus triggered the end of the Imperium by killing his. Though they lacked the numbers of some of their brother Legions, they were unmatched in the sheer impetuous fervour with which they made war. The White Scars Legion had already been engaged for several standard years on the orders of the Warmaster Horus in a surprisingly punishing campaign against the Orks of the Chondax System where Jaghataihad recalled his entire Legion when the Heresy began. Under Mortarion's leadership, the smaller XIVth Legion forces rallied enough to withdraw from the system intact, but they could match neither the speed nor the firepower of the reunited White Scars. Fulgrim taking up the daemon-possessed Silver Blade. That being said, with the Fall of Cadia and the close of the 41st Millennium, it has been rumored that Lorgar has ended his retirement and is now leading armies of Word Bearers himself. Some 40,000 cells fall off your skin every hour but, sometimes, those dead cells clog up a pore. 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. Turning to investigate the source of the flames, Qin Xa felt a fresh surge of power just behind him. As the White Scars fleet moved into orbit, the Khagan instructed the fleet to blockade, then prepare for planetfall. Suddenly, the bridge detected signs of a boarding party making their way towards the bridge. As the Great Crusade raged across the galaxy, he had sat at its heart, always fighting and always on the move, laughing as he killed. All along the front, White Scars ships probed the line and Alpha Legion ships resisted them. No matter how thorough one is in killing, banishing, or cleansing his presence, he will revive. When they were in position, he led his Brotherhood in a daring orbital assault by launching specially modified Sojutsu Pattern voidbikes. He has been successful on both counts. The Khan prepared to settle their argument once and for all. The last thing he saw before collapsing was the stranger cutting down Mortarion's foster parent with a single stroke. Everyone who ever trusted him got burned. Some ships still ran with dissension, and the process of restoring order was neither quick nor without violence. With a twist, he wrenched the sword from the Noyan-Khan's gauntlet, then switched back and plunged the dao's point deep into Hasik's midriff. Since so few of the other Legions had ever fought alongside the White Scars, this specialisation had not become widely known, except for a few speculative reports here and there of strangely elongated engine-housings, extravagant thruster formations and oversized fuel lines. Khan took the head of the enemy tribe leader and mounted it on his tent. The tenacity of the Death Guard was legendary, as was their ability to absorb punishment and just keep coming. Somehow the Warp Storms around Chondax had been orchestrated by some mysterious outside force. I would like to kill you, to have your blood join that of all the others you have forced me to kill, but I will not. The Brotherhood of the Storm followed their commander into the corridors beyond. Manoeuvring in patterns that seemed almost random, the White Scars sought to disrupt their foes' formation and isolate them from the protection of their brethren. Led by the esteemed Hasik Noyan-Khan, the Warrior Lodge members declared their allegiance to Horus. As the Khagan decided on his Legion's next move, the Alpha Legion cordon remained intact, its smooth unity broken only by minor adjustments to the twin defensive lines. Lorgar became a fiery preacher for the Covenant, but when he had visions of a golden savior coming to his world, he sparked a bloody schism by declaring that the old prophecy would soon be fulfilled. Now it was mottled the colour of burned charcoal. 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. Under standing orders from the Khagan, the Legion had never shown off its drives' modified capabilities outside of active warzones. He ping-pongs, in a somewhat inscrutable way, between being proud of his distance from the rest of the Imperium and resentful of being "left . For four decades the Word Bearers hid their new allegiance while subjugating worlds to the Dark Gods and spreading the taint of Chaos throughout the other Space Marine Legions. Qin Xa stepped in front of the Khan. 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. None of them did, and that was why the White Scars had the eyes of the galaxy on them at last. He left his blade unsheathed, holding it loosely at his side. How could Hasik call those who opposed him faithless, when it was he who had caused such madness and betrayed his Primarch? By the latter years of the 800s.M30, the Vth Legion had earned itself a reputation for the types of operation for which it would later become most well-known, but not all of its wars were fought in isolation. He would fight once again for unity and in secret revelled in the new challenge before him, at last able to slip the bonds of duty that had kept him busy with the mundane realities of governorship on Chogoris. Despite all this, Magnus still wanted to know whose side Jaghatai would choose. He told Magnus that he had always been his friend. There are many instances of rivalries, and some of outright hostilities. Crush all those in their care, lay their chattels to waste and then drive them alone and naked into the darkness. 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. To the west of the Palatine's empire was the Empty Quarter, a barren grassland with few resources, and as such it was never invaded by the Palatine's armies. The Noyan-Khan did not understand why the flotilla of newly arrived Traitor vessels did not make contact. Pulling himself free from the pile of rubble, Jaghatai found himself in a strange underground world of sink-holes and chasms that might open up into something bigger. Everything was simply gone -- all the libraries, the repositories, the arcana. Inspired by this success, the Loyalists also tried to seize the Eternity Wall Spaceport, but were driven back by the Chaos forces without difficulty, as they had reinforced their garrison following the loss of the Lion's Gate. It should have been easy to dismiss, to put down to the warping power of the Empyrean. This led him to unusual and unorthodox (for his time) beliefs and practices. A neophyte undergoes the painful transformation into a Space Marine.. His arms went rigid, locked by some mysterious force. The wisdom of the Lupercal's decision was plain to see, but the Primarch of the Death Guard Legion protested it nonetheless, for Mortarion detested the employment of psykers in any form, for any reason and against any foe. They maintained the integrity of the cordon, warding the routes to the nearest suitable Mandeville jump-points and keeping the White Scars corralled within the vicinity of Chondax. Qin Xa lowered his weapons. The White Scars are a formerly Loyalist First Founding Space Marine Legion of Heretic Astartes who are wholly dedicated to the service of the Chaos God Slaanesh, the Prince of Pleasure, though they were originally the proud V th Legion of the Legiones Astartes. She informed Shiban that she had the Khagan's locus. The Alpha Legion were an unknown quantity to the White Scars. Skilled at playing people, both mortals and even his fellow Primarchs. They are the grim, cold-hearted masters of the science of war among the Space Marines, exemplars of strength and discipline turned exclusively to the systematic destruction of an enemy. Mortarion too struggled against this vile foe, and while his scythe cut through its thrashing tentacles by the dozen, it strove to gain dominion over his mind and to become master of his flesh. It took little convincing from Horus for Angron to side with the traitors against the Emperor, and the World Eaters fought in some of the bloodiest battles of the Horus Heresy, now claiming skulls for the Blood God. On that long-isolated world, Jaghatai had prospered, binding together the fractured tribes of the hinterlands to conquer empires and subjugate the entire world to his will.
