Ka'Bandha Returns

[GrantDaKiller]

The most infamous Bloodthirster in 40k returns in the fluff for the new Blood angel codex. He appears not once but three times in the fluff. The first time he shows up kills a Blood Angels captain, but is ultimately slain by Sanguinor (Irony). He then shows up again but is banished by a company of Grey Knights. The last time he shows up is in 999 M.41. He is at the head of a massive daemon horde that is heading to Baal to destroy it. However the Blood Angels are fully mobalised there due to the threat of an approaching tendril of Hive Fleet Leviathan. His fate is unknown but maybe he will get his ultimate revenge.

 

 

Also as a side note there is a bit unfortunate fluff concerning Skarbrand. Somehow he is defeated in single combat by Dante in a single blow that cleaves him in two. Anybody else think this would never happen in the game?

Being a big bad daemon does not mean much these days considering Mc Hammerhands killed an Avatar of Khaine with a single dragon punch. So when Count Dracula one-shots an ancient Greater Daemon that is warded against psychic attacks it is not that silly at this point. I think this is all an internal competition between Games Workshop writers to make the most over the top fluff possible. Since they have to one up one another with each codex get ready in the next Codex: Eldar when Eldrad defeats Slaanesh in an arm wrestling contest and becomes the new 4th Chaos God or in Codex: Tau when Commander Farsight returns to out psychic duel Fateweaver. I am assuming this all building up to Codex: Dark Angels when Azrael riding on El’Jonson’s shoulders like Master-Blaster, head butts Grandfather Nurgle closing the Eye of Terror forever. Then Cypher comes in riding on a surf board shooting Khorne, Tzeentch, Eldrad-Slaanesh in the head with his plasma pistol (single shot) defeating Chaos for all of time. Then Games Workshop can let Chaos go the way of the Squats and only produce good wholesome non-daemonic genocidal armies.

Ntin,

 

If any of that comes true, be sure to claim royalties off GW. They'd do the same if the situation was reversed haha.

Is Ka'bhanda properly depicted in the story?

The blood angels will not survive the splitner fleets or Kraken and Ka'Bandha wrath, because they don't won a system like the ultramarines who wouldn't stand a chance anyway. The only way that they could do it is with either Krytman or the eldar by diverting the nidz to the path of the Ka'Bandha's army. Then by moving in to mop them up, which seems a typical gws way of clearing up the bad bugs.

thanks

It's like a game of chinese whispers. The actual story get's more and more warped as time passes by. Calgar did not take out the Avatar in one punch and collapsed after the battle.

Pure awesome.

Well, except for some BL fiction, the timeline is stopped at 999.M41 so I guess he will never actually reach Baal as the timeline doesn't really move forward, they just fill in more stuff that has "already happened". In any case, this is Matt Ward fluff so it can more or less just be disregarded entirely, this is the same guy that wrote about Dante teaming up with Necrons to fight Tyranids which makes about as much sense as someone teaming up with the AIDS virus.
