His rivalry with Dorn is legendary, culminating into the Iron Cage incident. Shiban leapt from cover and beckoned his warriors into the fray. The tale of the Pale Emperor is known to very few. Warriors looked up from their duels, seeing the ravaged armour of their Primarch again as he strode up to the throne, as if realising only then the depths to which they had sunk in his absence. Beyond that, he saw more heavy infantry holding position around the epicentre of the bridge itself -- the command throne. So the Khagan bargained for his loyalty and that of those he ruled, taking from the Emperor those guarantees he deemed fair regarding the treatment of the people of Chogoris and of his role in the future empire. Though a potent force indeed, none can say what harm might have befallen the Primarchs had the White Scars Stormseers not been close at hand to repel the worst of the aliens' psychic counterassaults. With fighting across the galaxy reaching a fevered intensity, the forces of the Emperor could ill spare any Primarch for lengthy training in the etiquette of the Terran Court or the intricacies of Imperial history. In this, of course, they were entirely correct. In Mortarion's opinion it should have been cordoned off, put away, forgotten about. Magnus sent a psychic warning to the Emperor that was intended to vindicate the use of his powers, but unknowingly destroyed his father's greatest project Webway travel for the Imperium. He had never felt the bone-deep drag that Mortarion inspired. So many of you know I'm sure about 1d4chan. This was but the first part of the Khagan's strategy, for tradition alone would not suffice. Horus was able to lure fully half of the Space Marine Legions and large elements of the Imperial Army and Adeptus Mechanicus to his cause, thus setting into motion the Horus Heresy, the most terrible conflict in galactic history. Dozens of sharp-shooters were stationed above them on the terraces, holding fire for now but still primed. The encircling Alpha Legion cordon was now compromised and fractured, its constituents struggling to respond to the lone column of ships that burned its way through their heart. 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. Horus Lupercal was the first Primarch to be recovered, and for many years enjoyed a privileged position as the Emperor's only son. Shiban urged his brothers onwards, trying to instill the virtues of greater speed, greater power. In these final years of the conquest there were fewer wild spaces for the White Scars to make war as they liked. 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. Afterward, Mortarion swore to serve the Emperor, and took command of the XIV Legion, the Death Guard. Jaghatai gave those cities of the Palatine he besieged two choices -- to surrender or die. 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. The chance to run ahead of the storm, to exult in the unknown and the sheer joy of the destruction that follows was fading, leaving only the dull work of governance. It's thought that Horus spread Perturabo's legion so thin just to put stress on him, so that when Horus told him about a rebellion on his homeworld, Perturabo would snap and have no choice but to side with the traitors. Positioned in the centre of the Keshig, Arvida continued to unleash bolts of Warp-fire into the foul insectoids. When the Psychneunin struck, they angled their swollen abdomens to sting. This grand convocation, known to history as the Council of Nikaea, was called by the Emperor of Mankind Himself, and was intended to determine whether or not the use of psychic powers represented a boon or a grave danger to both Mankind and the nascent Imperium of Man. 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. He trained his Alpha Legion to be both tactically flexible and capable of using every advantage possible to achieve victory, and soon earned a reputation for leading intricate and unorthodox campaigns tactics that clashed with Roboute Guilliman's efforts to codify "proper" warfare. Perturabo's legion having to put down a homeworld rebellion after yet another hellish, thankless siege. This led him to unusual and unorthodox (for his time) beliefs and practices. These veterans recite a different end to the tale, a different declaration by Jaghatai Khan to his enemy, one that speaks of a wound long left untended in the Legion and its Primarch. Hasik ordered a Vox-link to be opened with the flotilla, and to prevent any of their vessels from opening fire on them. You have chosen pride over servitude. 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. As the ruler of his world, Jaghatai ended the wars that had wracked Chogoris, keeping the peace with the threat of utter ruin for those who transgressed his simple laws. For a second, lost in shock, Qin Xa just stared at the newcomer, breathing heavily. As for how long he had been there, he did not know, for his Power Armour's internal chronometre had been blown in battle. From their . 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 introduced himself as Revuel Arvida, a Sergeant of the Thousand Sons Legion's 4th Fellowship and a member of its Corvidae Cult. Like his sister points out, he wants people to acknowledge his pain, but he doesn't want to actually talk to them. The Imperial Compliance of a world that had once been a beacon of civilisation was to be a crowning glory to an otherwise fruitless expedition, and so the Primarchs of all three Legions present -- the Luna Wolves, the Death Guard and the White Scars -- determined to deliver the Imperial Truth in person. His brother Sanguinius was more subtle in his support. He made the ways of Chogoris the Truth of his Legion, a strange blend of practicality and superstition that was ill at ease with the strict tenets of the Imperial Truth which denied any and all brands of religion. It was poor fighting, cramped and bitter. Their movements remained cagey, as if they wished to do nothing more than hold the impasse for as long as possible. 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. After an epic battle he was finally victorious, though his hands were forever stained with the silver blood of the beast, gaining him the name of Ferrus Manus - He of the Iron Hands. The Keshig moved into a loose semicircle, poised to strike. All the lodges had done was help the process along. Jaghatai expressed his regret at not being there at the Council of Nikaea besides both Magnus and Sanguinius. He's also THE philosopher for the Ecclesiarchy. As a result of their Primarch's disappearance, the White Scars hold a particularly savage grudge against the Drukhari and will gladly seek out any opportunity to make war upon those sadistic aliens. It was then that the Alpha Legion opened fire on its former brothers. What's going on with 1d4chan? At long last he had finally caught up. Jaghatai Khan (pronounced Jagg-a-tie KAAN),also known as "The Great Khan," "the Khagan" and "the Warhawk," was theprimarch of the V Legion of Space Marines, the White Scars, who led them through the years of the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy. It was an apparition of his missing brother, Magnus the Red, the Crimson King. The Khan of Khans did little to dispel his reputation as a crude barbarian and wanton killer, keeping his own counsel and the company of those who cared to see past the veil of rumour that hid the true character of his Legion. First off, he is associated with the colour red. He was raised as a priest, and he was apparently very gifted at philosophy and was not afraid to ask questions. Rather than fighting back, the Night Haunter seems to have accepted his fate, and is the only Primarch to have been assassinated. It is also worth noting that on Olympia Perturabo would regularly challenge his adoptive brother Andos to competitions of skill, for no reason. 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. His book, the. His World Eaters rampaged their way to the Eye of Terror, where they fractured into multiple psychopathic warbands. From then on, he swore to end the constant tribal in-fighting, unite all the people of the Empty Quarter and bring an end to the practice of brother fighting brother. Some took their own lives rather than endure the shame of surrender, though most recognised the authority of the Khagan and offered up their blades in contrition. Frankfurt Zoological Gardens: Baby lions are just the beginning of the animals you'll see here. After fighting alongside the other traitors in the battles for the Isstvan system, the Death Guard departed for Terra, only to fall victim to a horrific warpstorm and a daemonic plague. The silent Deathshroud were just as implacable as their master, as they fought the White ScarsKeshig amidst the wreckage. There were also conflicting reports received from the Imperial Fists Legion's Primarch Rogal Dorn that urged the White Scars to return to Terra to help defend the Throneworld alongside Dorn and Leman Russ, supposedly now a Traitor, as soon as possible. But the Khan was not moved by these demands. A second later the entire chamber was filled with light as flames leapt up from underneath the Psychneuein. They understood, perhaps better than anyone, that the Warp could corrupt the finest -- the greater the strength, the greater the corruption. Kicking the retros at the last moment, the voidbikes skidded around in zero-gravity then powered into the Swordstorm's inertia bubble. Jhagatai had not wanted to believe it, not truly. Arvida worked hard, throwing bolt after bolt at the emerging horrors. At the head of this assault was the Great Khan, the Primarch a match in size and power for these towering war machines and his blade far quicker than the sensor-augurs that guided their weapons. The White Scars understood that fate was against them. Everyone who ever trusted him got burned. From the wide plains of Chogoris, the rugged wastes of Kolarne and Old Earth's many recruitment camps, the Khagan replenished the ranks of the Legion and the White Scars emerged from the Kolarne Circle campaign a Legion reborn. 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. 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. Mortarion did not make empty threats. When the Emperor and a force of battle-scarred yet civilized warriors came to Chemos, Fulgrim knelt and offered his sword without a single word. It could not be halted now. There were bodies buried beneath the ash and metal: human bodies, mortal in stature. Russ offered to bring his brother back to Terra to stop this war. For all that, the individual engagements were muted, probing, restrained. 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. The proud and noble White Scars were once considered the masters of the lightning . This proved to be his downfall as they could not catch the lightly armored Talaskar tribesmen. Hasik had the Swordstorm and Torghun Khan would take the Tchin-Zar. Hasik replied that what he had done was for the good of the White Scars Legion. A tall figure stood on the far side of the annihilated phantasms. I'll post a link below. The last of the Primarchs recovered, (suspect) sources claim that Alpharius was encountered near the end of the Great Crusade, leading a swarm of fighters and small attack craft that managed to entrap and board a Luna Wolves cruiser. His brother had tasted the fruits of treachery and found them bitter. The blinding iridescence of a teleportation beam burned brightly for a few moments. A second later, the space between Shiban and the mortal woman exploded with light. For every one knocked back, ten more gained ground. 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. The masses never learned about the Warp, and the vast majority did not even know of its existence. 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. Torghun did the same -- exhorting those about him into a typically dogged defence. The shade explained that it was merely a remnant or psychic fragment of Magnus -- a dream of something destroyed. He might burn himself out to get to Terra, he might not. Rather than assaulting the almost-invincible flanks of the Chaos army, he redirected his highly mobile ordu and the surviving Loyalist tank divisions of the Imperial Army to the Lion's Gate Spaceport.

Jaghatai snapped at the aether-shade that there was no future. The Iron Warriors put down the revolt, massacring millions, and in the aftermath Perturabo realized the Emperor would never forgive him. If anything, free of the need to maintain a barrage of las-fire, it accelerated. As if fighting a strong headwind out on the Altak back on Chogoris, the vanguard's momentum faltered. As the Khan investigated the immediate area he heard an unmistakable buzzing noise, like the drone of massed insect wings. Yet the Great Khan was no simple berserker, for in even the simplest task he sought perfection through discipline. In some accounts, Horus tweaked the Emperor's orders to the Space Wolves from "apprehend the Thousand Sons" to "destroy the Thousand Sons," in order to drive Magnus the Red into the traitors' camp. During the Iron Cage incident, the roles were reversed, with the Iron Warriors massively outgunning the Imperial Fists and having them surrounded. Gene-Seed Implants. The world was rapidly dying and the phenomenon was still growing, perhaps as a result of what had happened there. The air itself screamed in torture as the very stuff of reality was stretched to breaking point, the un-light of the Warp glimmering through a million cracks and rents. Plunge into the enemy's breast like a blade, cut out his heart, and you will know fulfillment. But it had all gone wrong. The Chogorians had always known of the existence of the Warp and the dangerous entities of Chaos that lurked within. According to the writings about the Great Khan found in the White Scars' fortress-monastery of Quan Zhou, the White Scars learned upon their return to Chogoris following the end of the Heresy that their homeworld and its people had been the target of numerous raids by the Drukhari to seize thousands of Chogorians as slaves. The Death Lord had never hidden what he wanted. The two of them, Horus and the Khan, liked one another. It was his example that stood as their banner throughout the conflict and it was to the Khagan and each other whom they were bound, not to the distant dream of the Imperium or any one of its worlds, but only to the Khan of Khans and the savage joy he took in war and in life. White Scars vessels dropped formation, protecting their own flanks and leaving holes in the offensive wall. I know some pages are pretty cringe, but the Tactics pages are invaluable and one of the main sources some people (myself included) when trying to get ground-level summaries of game . However, the Khagan had chosen this battleground and his strategy with care. Coils of oily gas spilled from the lining of his battle plate, dribbling down the skull-painted surfaces and hissing on contact with Prospero's death-dry soil. At first the Khan did not believe the evidence of his senses for a long time. The whole city reeked of burning metal. The White Scars' vanguard began to drift spinwards, pulling clear of their jump-point trajectory and dragging the centre of the engagement back towards Chondax's gravity well. This means he has the blessings of ALL the Chaos gods and can call upon their forces for his own purposes. They would remain resolute. Facing it full-on, Jaghatai doubted that any of his brothers, save perhaps Ferrus Manus, could have matched it. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/Warhammer40000ChaosPrimarchs. His face gave away the soul of a man destroyed. The echoing cacophony of Bolter-fire abated. It had never wished to look at what held it together. Meanwhile, the four incoming Traitor warships drifted closer, utterly incautious, prowling through local space as though they owned it. Once more, Kulek Senn offered his master his warning as the party moved through the streets, this time with increasingly strident concern. Their leader was the Palatine, and he won all of his battles with this great army. 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. The Khan could sense that a choice was coming, a grand choice. Soon the Thousand Sons' homeworld swam into extreme forward sensor range. 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. 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. I would like to kill you, for you remind me of my own choices, but I will not. Almost as if by silent mutual agreement, the two sides mustered outside of the clustered towers of the city, neither wishing to see it broken as they fought and, with but a brief pause, gave voice to the deep roar of cannon and the cacophony of clashing blades. 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. 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. Fleeing their attackers aboard the White Scars' flagship Lance of Heaven, Qin Xa would eventually succumb to his wounds. The Khan ordered his troops to reactivate the spaceport's Defence Lasers to prevent the Traitor fleet from bringing down any more troops and equipment and form a defensive perimeter to hold their newly reconquered territory. Torghun informed him that the Brotherhood of the Storm's khan had been to see Jemulan Noyan-Khan. Reports streamed in -- there was disorder on many vessels now as both factions vied for control of their respective vessels. Such a course would have been dishonourable in the extreme since the Emperor had done no wrong to His sons and also because Jaghatai so deeply believed in the Emperor's goal of reunifying the entire human race under a single ruler so that it might claim final dominance over the Milky Way Galaxy. The White Scars went after them, harrying, strafing, hurling all their pent-up fury in a maelstrom of Lance-energy. The battle moved steadily out of the system until Mortarion finally gave the order to disengage and make for the Mandeville jump-points. The White Scars had done it, as one - with no extraneous prompting -- in five seconds. A lone White Scars Brotherhood posed no real risk -- they had run the calculations. Some of the Warp-translated messages bore chrono-marks from many solar months previously; some had been sent, it seemed, only solar hours previously. It only got worse when he joined Horus' rebellion. 1d4chan is a wiki database detailing the memes, peoples, and topics involved in 4chan's /tg/ (tradition games) board. Not so much good for actually learning lore, but entertaining none the less. All existing Space Marine Librarians were likewise forbidden to make use of their abilities. The Alpha Legion clearly judged that the Khan was not so cavalier. Shiban's elation at Jemulan's entrance had been short-lived. The Khan lurched away, stumbling, and Mortarion lumbered after him.
