Product Information

Also happens on one occasion when the White Scars unexpectedly share a battlefield with the Imperial Fists. Eada Haelfwulf and Ulvurul Heoroth, AKA, Longfang in Prospero Burns. Also, Thousand Son Astartes and the daemon bleed from the mouth, well as other orifices, when confronted with powerful marks of aversion and pariahs. In Old Earth, Vulkan participates for a grand total of one minute in the battle of the Aragna Chain, when he teleports into the vessel Horus Triumphant to smash apart a Contemptor Dreadnought that was about to kill the Salamander Nuros and his boarding party. The Laer Blade seemed to be a primitive sword, albeit perfectly made. Any reader who's familiar with it will know that it was host to a Keeper of Secrets.

Part C: The Fawnton's Muster Lord Richard Lonmouth, 08.11.289AAC, Fawnton SystemIn the Fawnton system, Lord Richard Lonmouth witnesses the muster of the Storm Sector while having to endure the idiocy of some of his fellow lords, such as Thurgood Cafferen, a young Targaryen sycophant. Lord Stannis Baratheon puts Cafferen in his place after he gets too annoying, and Lonmouth tries to speak with his friend Jon Connington, only for the man to tell him not to. Lieutenant Joanna Snow, 17.07.300AAC, Moat Cailin SystemWhile deployed at Moat Cailin, Joanna Snow deplores how the arrival of the Others has completely screwed with the North's plans to deal with Rhaegar and the Southern lords. Her direwolf Phantom jumps on her, distracting her with his weight, and Baela arrives with Icefyre soon after, with the two cousins bantering before they discuss Baela's inability to forge a connection to Icefyre the same way Joanna and her half-siblings have with the direwolves.Ambadassador: Ambassador Vethorel, representative of Fabricator General Kane on the Council of Terra. In The Binary Succession, the members of the Mechanicum are paralyzed because there are two Fabricator Generals they can follow, and are frustrated because of how the Imperium ignore these refugees. To save her people and prevent them from abandoning the Imperium completely, she successfully campaigns for the creation of an "Adeptus Mechanicus", which will sacrifice Mars' independance for more agency in the Imperium. Despite having enemies from all faction trying to off her, Vethorel survives and performs a remarkable feat of Aggressive Negotiations with the help of the Legio Titanicus (an Imperator Titan is piloted towards the Council), leading to the creation of said Adeptus and shaping the politics between Terra and Mars for the rest of the story. Part D: Threats from the Void Ayric Sarring, 26.08.300AAC, Somewhere in the Narrow VoidDuring their stay at Volantis, the survivors of Gerion Lannister's expedition to the Doom took some time in destroying the cult of R'hollor - a cult that worships the demons that are coming out of Valyria. Now returning to King's Landing after more than a decade away, they wonder how much will have changed in so much time, Ayric wonders how in the Seven Hells he became friends with Gerion, and they ready to find and kill the cult of R'hollor's representative in King's Landing, a woman called Melisandre... Corvus Corax tried to replenish the ranks of the Raven Guard by recruiting young boys to turn them into Space Marines with improved genetech from the Emperor. However, the Alpha Legion put an end to this operation.

Samwell Tarly, 09.07.300AAC, Horn Hill SystemThe Lord of Horn Hill, a shy fat young man whose interests are far from the norm in Westeros, learns to his dismay that (at the behest of the Queen of Thorns) he is to marry Asha Greyjoy, who has a reputation of killing the men she is to marry before the bedding happens. However, his mother, Melessa Tarly, tells him that not marrying Asha will bring unpleasant consequences for House Tarly, and that the wedding must take place in a month. The secret facilities on Titan, future headquarters of the Inquisition and the Grey Knights, are used to contain individuals of special interest, such as former associates of the Traitor Primarchs. Senior Captain Dale Shouter, 07.09.300AAC, Fawnton System Dale Shouter leads his men in an attempt to protect the civilians of Fawnton from the demons, to no avail, for the demons are more numerous and powerful. Just before dying himself, Dale sees new lights of human origin coming from orbit. Blunters, blanks, and pariahs, including the Silent Sisters, a military force composed entirely of female human blanks. All of these are resistant to the warp or even can negate its effects because of a rare genetic quirks. Several of these characters appear during the series and are a rare trump card against the occult.Cultural Posturing: There's a certain amount of this among several of the Legions, especially those who recruit primarily from one world. This tends to come from one of two points: the more sophisticated cultures such as Chemos and Macragge, and the less advanced and harder worlds such as Medusa, Fenris and Chogoris.

Army of Thieves and Whores: Horus has many, many highly trained and disciplined mortal armies at his command, but the Traitors also make use of huge numbers of gangers, abhumans, and such. Part B: Dangerous Women Lady Asha Greyjoy, 10.08.300AAC, Horn Hill System Asha Greyjoy, as her handmaidens are preparing her for her wedding to Samwell Tarly, reminisces about her first two weddings, one to an old man she poisoned the night before the wedding and the second to an Ironborn-hating war veteran who was killed by his servants after she convinced them to do it during the wedding banquet. After being dressed, she meets her future goodmother, Melessa Tarly, who warns Asha against trying to kill Sam before she points out Asha could have had it a lot worse. Upon meeting Sam, the two internally consider that the marriage may not be so bad, after all. Fulgrim has a taste for these. He originally wielded Fireblade, a sword made by Ferrus Manus. He later used the Silver Blade of the Laer, which he took as a trophy, but that ended poorly, and in the end went to Lucius. And during the Heresy itself, he used the Anathame, which was a gift from Horus. At one point, he briefly owned all three of those swords at one time. Cain and Abel: Rather than a single case, it's essentially half a fraternity of Physical Gods becoming the Cain to the other half's Abel. There are also specific cases between individual Primarchs. Most notably, Perturabo is the Cain to Dorn's Abel; then there's Russ, the loyalist Cain to Magnus's Abel. In the Age of Darkness story "Rules of Engagement", an Ultramarine Captain thinks it will take something far greater than traitor assault to destroy the beauty of Prandium. Ironic when you consider it gets eaten by Tyranids.

Night Lords Boarding Action Rules

Boarding Pod: Legionaries use boarding torpedoes to board enemy vessels. Any void battle will involve boarding torpedoes at one point as each party seek to capture the enemy vessel. Macragges Honour, A comic book by Dan Abnett and Niel Roberts, which follows the crew of the Ultramarines' flagship as they give chase to Kor Phaeron during the Battle of Calth. Senior Captain Lady Brienne Tarth, 04.09.300AAC, Summerhall SystemSenior Captain Brienne Tarth dramatically announces she and her men are tourists while they carry out the take over of the strategic planet, as part of their long-planned rebellion against the Targaryens, Jon Connington and their constant insults and betrayals ever since the end of the Usurper's Rebellion. As she says, though, it is not about winning, but about being free. Cassandra Truth: At least three separate attempts are made to warn others about Horus's impending fall to Chaos. Magnus' attempt destroys the Emperor's Webway project and gets the Space Wolves unleashed on Prospero, Eldrad's attempt gets the Maiden Worlds in the Perdus Anomaly virus-bombed by Fulgrim, and Leman Russ treats Eada Haelfwulf's dying words as Magnus' attempt to fabricate corroborating evidence. Vulkan Lives is internally consistent, but makes absolutely no sense in the face of established Salamanders lore, especially regarding the Tome of Fire. In short, if Vulkan Lives is to be considered the true story, literally everything we know about Forgefather Vulkan He'stan and the Tome of Fire is a lie.

In Wolf King, the Vlka Fenryka is saved by a fleet of Dark Angels which helps defeat the Alpha Legion.
