Who kills whom?

Well, considering the fact that Khârn was found "dead" on a pile of dead loyalists, maybe Sigismund needed like twenty Astartes to help him bring down Khârn.

Or maybe Sigismund will get the infamous "Lucius treatment", and will end up being defeated and killed by the first nameless dude he comes by.

Nah. See what'll happen is that Sevatar walks by and twenty Loyalists die. And then up on the wall above, Sigismund will challenge Khârn to a duel. Before the Betrayer can reply, Bobby Jo of the Sons of Horus will shoot Siggy and instead shoot the rockrete at his feet. After which a small fragment will embed itself in Khârn's brain, killing him instantly. And from there, he falls and lands on the pile of bodies. It's a fail so epic that Hell itself spat him back out.

Is that before or after Lucius stabs himself with his own sword, achieving his first victory ever ?

Then, he would wake up at the EC landing zone, on a bed with Fabius nearby.

That was awesome ! said Lucius.

- Yeah, whatever, now our thing is running after imperial citizens, far from the Palace, ya know.

- Amazing ! replied Lucius.

 

Two hours later, Lucius kills himself, falling on his sword while running after innocent civils. As the blood spills from his wound, his vision fades to black.

As he's opening his eyes, he realizes he's on the same bed as before, with Fabius still around.

Whoa Fabius, I keep killing stuff with my sword, let me tell you !

- Sounds great, yeah. Replied Fabius, jaded to the max.

- Where to now ? Asked Lucius while jumping off the bed, landing right on the tip of his sword, killing himself in the process.

- To hell with all this crap ! noted Fabius before getting in his ship and leaving Terra forever.

 

Edit : we should stop here, I don't want to be held responsible for the "Lucius the Eternal Failure" meme, I would like to let that honor to the BL authors who spend their time making him look bad.

"Battle of Terra

 

When the Horus Heresy finally culminated at the Siege of the Imperial Palace during the Battle of Terra, Khârn was at the forefront of every assault made by the World Eaters. At the moment of Horus' defeat, Khârn already lay dead upon the mound of Traitor Marine corpses piled high before the walls of the Inner Palace. His fellow World Eaters carried his corpse away with them as they fought their way back to their landing ships. Once on board, they discovered that by some dark miracle of the Blood God Khârn still lived. Whether Khorne himself breathed life back into the Berserker's body or whether the relentless clamour of battle revived his blood-lusting spirit remains a mystery, but since the Heresy Khârn has survived the bloodiest battles across ten millennia and has never come so close to death again. Khârn vowed that the sons of Angron would never again know defeat, for he would not allow it. Their foes would fall, or they would offer themselves to Khorne in their stead. "

 

From the wiki... I know I read somewhere that he fell at the very end of the siege. It never said how, but if Sigismund doesn't kill him then the writers would have missed a huge story climax. I don't think there is a 40k fan alive that would be able to put the book down during those pages.

 

I wrote this a while ago.... I hope it goes something like this.

At the moment of Horus' defeat, Khârn already lay dead upon the mound of Traitor Marine corpses piled high before the walls of the Inner Palace.

 

Uh... The 2nd Edition, 3rd Edition and 6th Edition Chaos Codices all only neutrally describe it as a "mound of corpses". However, the 3.5 Codex Chaos described the scene thusly:

 

"Khârn fell atop a mound of his victims in one of the breaches just as Horus was defeated."

 

Where you and I would likely take that as meaning "loyalist corpses" the author of the wiki entry probably assumed that those would be traitor corpses, since Khârn is the "Betrayer" and is notorious for killing his own guys and all that.

Nah, that's a pile of Luciuses. He never revives in his original body, so there were always problems like where he would trip over his own corpse and land on his sword.

 

Seven of them were after Khârn's death. He kept pausing to say hi, only to stumble onto his sword when the pile would shift under his weight.

I agree that the HH authors have a real chance at some epic battle scenes.  I really hope the Pit some of the main Characters in some one on one battle action.  Maybe Corswain catches up with Sevatar before Terra. Sigismund and Khârn face off in a final epic one on one after carving thier way through countless foes.  I hope they give us some of those scenes and not just Primarchs tearing through Marines and throwing tanks and titans around.

What about it?

Oh. I thought you were trying to say something else.

 

In that case:

 

Yes, Kol. What I was saying was based off of an improper understanding of canon facts to make a now invalid point.

 

I was not making stuff up at the top of my head to deliver a joke.
