Brother-chaplain Astador Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Were there any other notable planets involved?

Arac Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 The topic you should look up is "the shadow crusade". You should read the novel "Betrayer" by ADB, which is actually really popular (and rightfully so). A notable planet would be Armatura.

Kol Saresk Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Betrayer, Purge and(I dread to mention this one) Battle for the Abyss are all novels that are related to the Shadow Crusade, which Calth was a part of. The war involves over 100 worlds with the primary Legions involved being the Word Bearers, World Eaters and Ultramarines with scatterings from all the rest.

Brother-chaplain Astador Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Pretty stupid question of me being that I've read all the aformentioned books and looked up the Shadow Crusade just a moment ago! Were any of the worlds named that anyone can remember from the Shadow Crusade?

Reyner Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Armatura - the fortress world was featured heavily in Betrayer and had the bulk of the Ultramarines Evocatii Chapter defending it.

Ranwulf Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Nuceria is also part of it. Ran Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308218-did-ultramar-see-any-action-outside-of-the-calth-campaign/#findComment-4059221 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 What you're going to run into is that every world named so far as being involved with the Shadow Crusade, has also been destroyed as part of a monumental sacrifice to summon the Ruinstorm. The obvious exception being Macragge. So, if you're looking for a battlefield to take part on as a stage for your army, either you're going to have be willing to be a "small part" in a bigger battle, or you could always create a battlefield.

Relict Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 The Shadow Crusade is stated by Lorgar to have encompassed "a mere one-fifth of Ultramar." That is 100 worlds. After Isstvan V, Horus "gifted" Lorgar with Angron and his Legion. The two Legions then split their forces into many smaller fleets with the expressed purposes of ravaging Ultramar. 50,000 Word Bearers went with Kor Phaeron to Calth (the less reliable of the XVII Legion, those deemed to have tainted themselves with impure hatred - they were to be expended at Calth as a cull of the XVII Legion). Both Traitor Legions were present on Armatura and later Nuceria. The combined force under Angron and Lorgar (not counting the splinter fleets) destroyed 26 worlds in rapid succession (in one year's time).

BFeeder Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I believe Astagar is another planet involved in the Shadow Crusade. Though the Ultramarines actually win that particular fight and bring down what seems to be the first example of a Banelord Titan.
