Jim Shady Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Ok, so I was thinking about the whole Horus and Big E fight at the end of the Siege of Terra and the ideas going about that some people think it was Horus who in his rush to sieze the throne, ordered the shields be lowered or Little Horus lowering them due to his guilt. Now, I had an idea of where it's Abaddon who lowers them because he wants to be the one to rule the galaxy and/or has been goaded by a deamon to realise what Horus will not, the destruction of the Imperium and the age of chaos. Comments and ideas? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231800-horus-and-the-shields/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 no evidence to back this up, might as well say Loken turned the shields off. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231800-horus-and-the-shields/#findComment-2788889 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrion Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 The best thing for chaos was for Horus to lose, as suggested by the Cabal, so it stands to reason that the whole thing was planned from the start and I think it will be someone so far unexpected who lowers them and that might be Abaddon. But it might not. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231800-horus-and-the-shields/#findComment-2788899 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Father Ferrum Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 It was an Alpha Legionnaire, trying to bring about the one-on-one fight. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231800-horus-and-the-shields/#findComment-2789077 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clewz Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I don't see whats wrong with the idea that time was running out and Horus wanted to fight the Emperor face to face Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231800-horus-and-the-shields/#findComment-2789100 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[TA]Typher Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 according to the older fluff.. Horus himself turned them off. In the older fluff the Wolfs and Dark Angels were almost to earth to relieve the defenders. Horus was rushed for time and a a two pronged fight wasn't in his best interest. With the ferocity of the Wolves and the cunning strategic mind of The Lion at his back he chose to pull the Emperor into a final battle before they arrived. With all the new fluff out I haven't seen where they changed this part. I'd like to think that it was still the case and that Horus feared the two legions flanking his forces. The raw bezerker rage of the wolves defending their father, and the Lion, who was the only one to come close to the number of victories that Horus had (Which is very impressive if you think about how much more time Horus had to get those victories) tipping the balance against Horus.

Dark Apostle Thirst Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 If Abbadon brought down the shields, it wouldn't really fit in with his "Horus was weak" quote.

Olis Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I'd prefer it if the old fluff remained, rather than was retconned. It simply makes sense, what with Horus pushed into the decision and the Emperor taking the opening that was presented simply to expedite any kind of victory. More details and a fleshed out narrative would be nice, though.

Inquisitor Engel Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I'd quite like Little Horus to lower them in a last moment of reprieve, before being slashed to death by Abaddon.
