He and Vulkan shared enmity for their differences in ideology. 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. Though Jaghatai, a statesman and empire-builder as much as a warrior, had hoped for a peaceful Compliance campaign, he was equally pleased to test his warriors against a worthy foe in honest battle. 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. In an instant, the Death Lord and his retinue were snatched away, sucked into the vortex of the Warp. But the Khan was not fooled by his brother's sincerity. The tenacity of the Death Guard was legendary, as was their ability to absorb punishment and just keep coming. Cookie Notice bleaching the skin surrounding large white patches to blend them. Neither side could be allowed to win their arguments if the Imperium was to prosper. They wanted to cause doubt, keeping the White Scars in the Chondax System to tie them up in questions, because they knew the veil was slowly lifting and that messages were only now getting through the aether of the Warp. 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 . They were pathfinders in both a tactical and strategic sense, amongst the keenest and most proficient breed of the Legiones Astartes created by the Emperor. Sieges may be a pain, but he made things extra hard for himself for no reason. Jaghatai fought alongside his White Scars for another 70 standard years following the end of the Heresy, eventually disappearing in 084.M31 into a region of space known as the Maelstrom, a large Warp rift in the Ultima Segmentum that is a smaller counterpart of the Eye of Terror. But this was merely a feint, as it was actually Keshig Master Qin Xa, wearing the Khagan's armour. Rather than fighting back, the Night Haunter seems to have accepted his fate, and is the only Primarch to have been assassinated. Such an order was not taken lightly -- the result would be ruinous for both sides, and only hotheads like Leman Russ or Angron enjoyed taking such risks. Bulky vessels of the Alpha Legion's second rank tried to bar its path, sliding into a hurried defensive formation with what now looked like ponderous clumsiness. Only Qin Xa and Yesugei stayed with him during that time, though it was known that a kurultai -- a summit of the Legion's khans -- would be convened to purge any remaining bad blood. The lightning-fast style of mobile warfare that had served Jaghatai Khan so well on the steppes of his homeworld proved to be equally effective on the many different battlefields of the Great Crusade. The Alpha Legion relished the chance to prove their superiority against the arrogant Space Wolves of Fenris by delaying them long enough to keep them from contributing to the Imperial defence of Terra. On Chogoris, the ability to wield the power of the psyker was called the "Test of Heaven." Coming to a decision, he quickly scooped her up in his arms and sprinted towards the teleportation mechanism as fast as he could. Fulgrim believed that his legion should embody the perfection of not just warfare but Imperial culture, and formed a strong friendship with both Ferrus Manus and Horus during the Great Crusade. 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. There were no gods, they were told, and what looked like magic was just the growing power of the human mind. However, the Crusade escapes thanks to the Harlequins and Cypher's Fallen, and Magnus follows Guilliman through the Webway up to Luna, where he battles his brother. Rogal Dorn on the other hand rebuilt one world after another and as a result his abilities as an artisan were known to all, so it's no mystery why one was given all the cool building jobs and the other was passed over. Jaghatai still had a choice, and Magnus implored his brother to make the right one. Their bike's grav-plates whined instantly, adjusting to the rapidly moving environment, before locking on the docking bay floor and righting themselves. This was their moment -- they would hold their position. The Crimson King had been there the whole time -- he just did not hear the words being sibilantly whispered by the powers of the Warp. It turned out to be the ruin the Crimson King had worked for centuries to avoid, but their father was not the forgiving sort. 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. The drift became more pronounced as the intensity of the las-fire picked up. The love of knowledge of the sons of Prospero, their enjoyment in the subtleties of the universe and each Legion's detachment from the rest of the Imperium would render a fruitful relationship between these two forces of Astartes. The warning had been voiced by Kulek Senn, a senior Stormseer of the Vth Legion. Of these the closest was Magnus the Red of Prospero, for he was also an outcast in the small society of their peers and a man of integrity and brusque honesty. It was said that Jaghatai and his warriors fought many of the Chaos Space Marines that tried to retreat to Terra's spaceports and flee. One of Abaddon the Despoiler's first acts when he took command was to destroy the Warmaster's corpse and stop its near-worship, then rename the force the Black Legion. Magnus was one of the few Primarchs who actually treated Perturabo with respect and the two shared a love of learning and esoteric lore. It was later revealed that the White Scars presence at the Kalium Gate was merely another diversion, as they had no intention of utilising the Warp Gate, for the Khagan's true purpose was to find the notorious senior Navigator, Novator Pieter Achelieux. Mortarion informed Jaghatai that their respective starships were at war. Also known as the Lost Tribe, the dreaded Black Spiral Dancers are the Garou who turned to the Wyrm . The Alpha Legion and its twin Primarchs, Alpharius Omegon, had long harboured deep grudges against the Space Wolves, and Leman Russ in particular, for his criticism of their reliance upon trickery, manipulation and subterfuge to win battles rather than engaging in what the Space Wolves Primarch saw as honourable, open combat. 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. As the orb of Chondax fell rapidly away aft, it was mediated by the glowing corpses of a dozen burned-out Alpha Legion warships. As he did so, he raised his blade. But the truth of the matter was that everyone in the Imperium had been deceived. His White Scars embrace war in a way entirely their own, and he became renowned for making decisions that often clashed with the Emperor's wishes. The Keshig came with him, forming a protective cordon around their Primarch. Perhaps it had been too much to expect. Aloof, secretive and subtle, Alpharius never revealed his homeworld (to say nothing of the existence of his twin brother Omegon), and had little interaction with other Imperial forces. Unfortunately, as Horus had yet to enact his rebellion and the warning involved Magnus bulldozing his way through every psychic ward protecting Terra from daemon invasion despite being ordered to not use sorcery at all, the Emperor understandably wasn't feeling very trusting of Magnus at the time. The bridge fell silent. 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. A bolt of lightning in clear skies, a sudden gale from an unexpected quarter -- the White Scars Legion was war's sudden and merciless slaughter. Horus had sponsored them, and Lorgar had shown them new tricks. 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". 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. Anything that they said now would be disregarded. This was the Great Crusade's apex of glory, the last century of the 30th Millennium. He could see the vigour of the psychic soul glowing inside the Thousand Son Astartes like a candle-flame. Though the Khan was blindingly fast, Mortarion's raw strength was phenomenal. That the whispers of the faithless could not be allowed to prevail. He told Magnus that he had always been his friend. How could Hasik call those who opposed him faithless, when it was he who had caused such madness and betrayed his Primarch? Reports streamed in -- there was disorder on many vessels now as both factions vied for control of their respective vessels. It was at Chondax that they first received the news of the Space Wolves Legion's actions during the Burning of Prospero. Afterward, Mortarion swore to serve the Emperor, and took command of the XIV Legion, the Death Guard. His scythe fell into guard. Turning to the dozens of White Scars around him there were khans, captains, senior ship-officers and mortal commanders -- just a few of those who had been persuaded and who were now working to free the Legion from the hand of tyranny in service to Horus. He had a secret meeting with the Cabal who told him that if the Emperor won the war then it would doom the Imperium to stagnation and eventually doom by the Chaos Gods, but if Horus won then it would lead to the destruction of both humanity and the Chaos Gods in only a few years. Everything had changed so quickly, garbled in a flurry of contradictory astropathy and secure comm-bursts: Russ of the Space Wolves had gone rogue; or the Warmaster had, taking several Legions with him; the White Scars were ordered to reinforce the Alpha Legion at the Alaxxes Nebula; Ferrus Manus had killed the peacock Fulgrim; Mars and the Mechanicum was in open revolt against the Emperor. He was proven right a year after winning this holy war, when the Emperor arrived to accept Lorgar's oaths of service. As the Primarchs continued to fight, the Khan actually felt himself begin to tire. The White Scars thus continue to fight in Jaghatai's name, destroying the enemies of the Emperor in preparation for the day when the Great Khan completes his consummate hunt and returns to once again lead his chosen warriors and begin the next Great Crusade to unify the galaxy. There was substantial tectonic activity, atmospheric pollution levels were far in excess of mortal tolerances. The Death Lord absorbed every strike that connected, sucking the power out of the Khan's blows like a leech, taking the hits and coming back for more. At dawn, Jaghatai's lightning raid caught the Traitor garrison at the spaceport completely by surprise, and reclaimed the spaceport for the Emperor. Hasik Noyan-Khan stood stoically, addressing the crouching intruders, trying to get them to stand down. It is also worth noting that on Olympia Perturabo would regularly challenge his adoptive brother Andos to competitions of skill, for no reason. After being broken in personal combat with Leman Russ, Magnus called upon the dark god Tzeentch for succor, and he and his legion were drawn into the Warp. 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. 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. He was hated by the other tribes because of his ability to see beyond the constant warfare on the steppes to a vision of unity for all the downtrodden peoples of the Empty Quarter. The Khan was one of the last. Ease symptoms of itch and pain. Instead he would only tell him this -- the Vth Legion was the ordu of Jaghatai, and none bore their blades in it save by his word. White Scars had their own version of Strategic reserves, known as Encirclement. 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. The Khan informed him that he could choose neither. The Great Khan fighting against Orks on Chondax. Jaghatai ordered his fleet to prepare for immediate departure from Chondax. This was the great question, the one they fell out over -- can you rest an empire on a lie? Qin Xa faced him, unblooded but for his blades. That same night, his Legion razed the unnamed city to ruin. His request was obliged by the capital city's population, which turned on their ruler to save their own lives from the fierce tribesmen of the Empty Quarter. When the Emperor reached Prospero to collect his lost son, there was such familiarity between the two that it is suspected that they had been in psychic contact for some time prior to meeting in the flesh. 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. A second later the entire chamber was filled with light as flames leapt up from underneath the Psychneuein. Every starship in the service of the Imperium was different. 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. What could the Khan do if his fleet was of one mind? Some amongst the Khan's command were a part of the Warrior Lodges, a closed fraternity of warriors that existed outside of the Space Marine Legions' formal structure. Indeed, the battle honour "Arco" would be borne on the banners of all five Legions, including the treacherous sons of Fulgrim, throughout the Horus Heresy and well into the latter age of the Great Scouring. This time, Horus did so. In episode 17, Lord Inquisitor Torquemada Coteaz, a character from original canon and getting his own fanfilm The Lord Inquisitor, shows up for a moment before . Torghun did the same -- exhorting those about him into a typically dogged defence. Their pauldrons were olive-green and the links between the plates were cold iron. Then figures clarified within it -- White Scars in Terminator Armour, and a Space Marine Legionary in red armour on his knees from exhaustion. Here the long-honed survival skills of the Pioneer Companies were put to the test, wedded to the Chogorian recruits' savagery and talent with a blade. The Khan bowed his head. Spurred on by the example of their lord, the White Scars redoubled their efforts and, one by one, the enemy's war machines were isolated and cut down. He would take everyone on if he had to. Jaghatai fought alongside his White Scars for another 70 standard years following the end of the Horus Heresy, eventually disappearing in 084.M31 when he travelled into the Maelstrom. The last thing he saw before collapsing was the stranger cutting down Mortarion's foster parent with a single stroke. In the words of 1d4chan: "He Gets Shit Done!" . Website. It was a matter of belief, as much as anything: attuning himself to the potential that existed within him, just as it did in all of his Primarch brothers. Ironically, despite their role as pathfinders and discoverers, it was not a Pioneer Company of the Vth Legion that would discover lost Chogoris, but instead a fleet of the Luna Wolves Legion accompanied by both Horus and the Emperor. This had no effect on the Alpha Legion's performance, however, and the Ultramarines endured a week of guerrilla attacks and ambushes until they evacuated the battlefield and resorted to an orbital bombardment. Three entire Legions made planetfall as one, but what transpired when they came to stand before the gates of the world's capital was quite unprecedented in the decades of the Great Crusade. Those companies assigned to the deepest systems of the Circle fought alone and unsupported for almost three Terran years before the remainder of the Legion secured the outer regions. Hasik was waiting for him. The Keshig moved into a loose semicircle, poised to strike. He held his dao poised, waiting for his enemy to move. This help content & information General Help Center experience. The White Scars soon became involved in some of the bloodiest battles of the time after the rediscovery of their Primarch. The frail woman explained to him that it was she that had opened the docking bay doors. The Talaskar people dispersed back to a tribal existence and Khan ruled over them all with his generals by his side. Though the Alpha Legion had presented no threat, these were not the actions of a friend. Jaghatai could see how his brother thought it would all play out; first hobble the sorcerers. Every Primarch asserted various preferences during construction: Corax had worked obsessively to make his vessels as stealthy as possible, Vulkan to make them durable and Fulgrim to make them beautiful. Neither side relished the carnage. Some art depicts him with a single eye in the middle of his forehead like the, Finally, being red-skinned, one-eyed, and physically imposing despite being a cerebral villain first and foremost is how Islamic eschatology describes the. At Tarel III, Jakor-Tal and Terlaken B3, the Legion fought noted campaigns as part of combined Legiones Astartes Expeditionary forces, and at Arco took its place in the line with the Blood Angels, Ultramarines, Salamanders and Emperor's Children Legions. The grand gathering of Primarchs and commanders and Battleships and officials at the Triumph of Ullanor dispersed, setting course for a thousand destinations and making the Warp light up with the trails of their passage. Proclaimed by astropathic signal and courier ship, Jaghatai's call would take many years to reach the furthest of his warriors. Jaghatai survived, but could not get back up the mountain in time before the tribe moved on. When they were in position, he led his Brotherhood in a daring orbital assault by launching specially modified Sojutsu Pattern voidbikes. He felt as though moving, even by a fraction, might break what remained. 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. When the White Scars fought alongside other Imperial forces they were often unfairly judged, due to their use of ritual tribal marks and scars. Behind them all stood Horus, the Lord of Primarchs.
