Once more, Kulek Senn offered his master his warning as the party moved through the streets, this time with increasingly strident concern. The Alpha Legion most likely had never witnessed such ship mastery. As the Noyan-Khan tried to explain the reasons for his actions the Khan roared in anger at his commander's treachery. Dozens of sharp-shooters were stationed above them on the terraces, holding fire for now but still primed. Witnessing in that terrible moment warriors of his own Legion at each other's throats, Mortarion's words rang in his head, as mocking as his final salute -- "Half your Legion has already declared for Horus." The Vth Legion's legend was to grow with the events of the Horus Heresy, when the White Scars fought on hundreds of worlds for over 7 Terran years against the Traitor Legions and the other Forces of Chaos. He was master of a Legion of vagabonds, a situation that might have sat less well with others of his brethren, but was a challenge well-suited to the Great Khan's talents and history. There was substantial tectonic activity, atmospheric pollution levels were far in excess of mortal tolerances. The star hunt calls you, do you not hear it? Of all of his brothers, the Khagan found common cause with but a handful. While he didn't get involved in Guilliman's Terran Crusade, the Era Indomitus has seen the Daemon Primarch become more active than he has been for millennia. A man is corruptible and fallible. I think everyone has the right to know about this and hopefully someone out there can help them. The Khan had the strength of the Vth Legion arrayed before him, his ordu assembled and ready to strike, yet none could tell the Primarch who was the true enemy of the Imperium and all he held dear. Their pauldrons were olive-green and the links between the plates were cold iron. 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. 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. He was proven right a year after winning this holy war, when the Emperor arrived to accept Lorgar's oaths of service. Everything was aimed at a single point: the flanks were discarded, surrendered to the enemy as every Vth Legion asset in the battlesphere shot into close formation and boomed up to top velocity. 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. See Horus Heresy for tropes applying to that series, and the Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness Gaiden Game, which isn't mentioned in the main tabletop game. Jaghatai Khan was ever to be found on the move, always where he was least expected and always at that critical locus that would decide the fate of battles and empires. This means he has the blessings of ALL the Chaos gods and can call upon their forces for his own purposes. 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. He volunteered to do the dirty jobs when he got his legion, to prove how tough he was. Outnumbered and outgunned, the Death Guard formation quickly fell back into a defensive cordon. When it finally cleared, the scene on the bridge looked entirely different. With every ounce of his posthuman strength, the Khan reached for Hasik's helm with his free hand and wrenched it from his head, casting it to the ground in contempt. 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. How could he not be? The Warmaster had called, and the White Scars must follow, for that had always been the way. 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 Magnus was the figurehead, the most powerful and the most vocal in support of the use of psychic abilities, he was not the only voice. 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 Emperor sent a command to the Space Wolves to capture Magnus, but Horus changed the message to "destroy Prospero". 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. He is content to contemplate the Primordial Truth from the daemon world of Sicarus, while his Word Bearers continue to preach the Word of Chaos and tear down the icons of the False Emperor. It was during this momentous time that Jaghatai would meet several lifelong comrades -- including Targutai Yesugei, Qin Xa and Hasik -- all of whom would fight alongside the Primarch during their conquest of Chogoris, and would eventually go on to serve the Khagan for many Terran centuries to come. White Scars on their favoured Scimitar Pattern Jetbikes. The war for Drune would rage for almost six Terran months, the Great Khan utilizing each element of his command as best suited its nature. Eventually the tribesmen defeated the army of the Palatine, who escaped back to his capital with a select few bodyguards. The Alpha Legion were an unknown quantity to the White Scars. With the hardiest soldiers and crude breathing apparatuses, Mortarion took the fight to the alien overlords, until only the stronghold of his former master remained. They all went quickly, decisively, as if the move had been long planned. From high up on the terraces on either side of the bridge, many metres up between the pillars and suspended platforms, massed Bolter-fire tore up the floor in a cloud of debris. They more commonly occur in taut skin areas following skin trauma, burns or surgical incisions. But, really, that's the normal common sense that should be applied in any large city. You will remain here so that I will remember the price of pride and why we sully our blades with the slaughter of small emperors.". When the beleaguered forces faced a breach and potential collapse of the Imperial defences, Jaghatai decided on a change of plan. As he swept through the heart of it, some of the fighting broke down. The knowledge gleaned from Magnus needed to be propagated swiftly, ending the long period of uncertainty that had blighted the White Scars Legion. They were ruined things, twisted and hunched, though still twice the size of the Terminators before them. As they hacked and countered, neither giving up so much as a centimetre of ground, it mingled upon the blades' edges, as rich and dark as wine. 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. 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. As Shiban Khan secretly prepared his Brotherhood to storm the Vth Legion's flagship, the Terran commander Torghun Khan warned Hasik Noyan-Khan that their plan to suborn Shiban's loyalty to their cause had failed. They would engage the Death Guard, guang-cha formation, full burn. When the Crimson King spoke in favour of the use of psykers and even psychic sorcery at the Council of Nikaea, as many proponents feared, he went too far. 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. With the behemoth slain, and the Warp portals through which the aliens had exerted their domination sealed, hundreds of millions of meat-puppets collapsed wherever they were standing, never to rise again. None of them let loose with the flamboyance that they were used to. Jaghatai and Magnus liked each other specially for the mutual respect that each showed to the other; the White Scar was not afraid of psykers and was willing to help the formation of the Librarius (alongside Sanguinius), while Magnus actively tried to understand the sons of Chogoris instead of treating them like simple barbarians (which is one of the main reasons the White Scars stay away from the Imperium). Led by the esteemed Hasik Noyan-Khan, the Warrior Lodge members declared their allegiance to Horus. They were also constantly being stalked and harangued by Traitor ships from a combined Traitor taskforce comprised of both the Death Guard and the Emperor's Children, led by Lord Commander Eidolon himself. 4chan is an Image Board in the US. Eventually he made his way to a large chamber. 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. Mortarion told his brother that he should not have thrown in his lot with the Sanguinius, let alone Magnus. Both felt that to leave the new Primarch bereft of a true understanding of the Imperium's foundation and culture would leave him ill-prepared to integrate properly with its factions and politics. 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. It is known in Imperial records that much of the White Scars Legion, including its Primarch, was present to defend the Imperial Palace during the climactic Siege of Terra alongside the Blood Angels and Imperial Fists Legions. Jaghatai, Horus and Mortarion knew that they had reached the centre of the xenos incursion when even they could proceed no further, so powerful were the psionic tides flooding out from the hideously pulsating wound in reality at the very centre of the city. The Khan sprang forward, seeing too late what was happening. Such was the way of the old plains: grievances would be heard, penance would be meted, bonds restored. Jaghatai Khan was nominated by Horus as campaign commander. An ornate rebreather covered the lower half of his face. Jaghatai Khan fighting against a Keeper of Secrets during the Horus Heresy. Horus had sponsored them, and Lorgar had shown them new tricks. This understanding was also only truly shared by Magnus, who, like the Khan, was as much an outsider to the other Primarchs as Jaghatai. Lorgar was given command of the XVII Legion, the Word Bearers, and joined the Great Crusade with zeal. As the Primarchs continued to fight, the Khan actually felt himself begin to tire. The White Scars kept fighting, hacking their way towards their intended goal. In those turbulent times, such things were considered of little note, for none would countenance the idea that a Primarch sworn to the Emperor would or could ever forsake his vows and, as such, absolute loyalty to the Khan was considered the same as absolute loyalty to the Imperium. If Magnus yet lived then everything could be salvaged. Theodor-Heuss-Allee 3 | Maritim Hotel, 60486 Frankfurt, Hesse, Germany (Westend-Sud) +49 69 75781148.

Jaghatai's own Legion ranged far and wide across the wastes of Drune, striking at concentrations of xenos power identified by his Stormseers. The Khan strode down from the platform, his Keshig following him closely. He commanded that the Primarchs were to close their Legions' Librarius departments forthwith and not to indulge the undoubted psychic talents of those Legionaries who possessed the gift.
