Horus Heresy/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

* In ''Know No Fear'', Venatus realises that the Mechanicus server has blood on her sleeves, realising that someone died, cradled in her arms.

** Later, Tawren reveals the identity of the man who died in her arms with the following words:

** Also, Magos Uldort. She volunteered to remain at a command center that was about to be overrun by the enemy, fully aware that it was a death sentence. She nonetheless performed her duties diligently and directed all possible reinforcements to help Tawren and Venantus. Because of her, Tawren was able to retake control of the Calth defense grid, which in turn saved the remaining Ultramarines and their Primarch. The reader never sees her final moments, nor will they ever see her speak a single line. But the bittersweet triumph at Calth will ultimately be owed to her.

* Hell, the entire plotline of Prospero Burns and A Thousand Sons. Two brothers, almost polar opposites, but on the same side; one tries desperately to warn their father of an impending disaster, the other begs, even as he is on the way to kill his sibling, for the other to stand down and set aside what he sees as foolish heresy. Both brothers genuinely just want the best for the other. But Daemons, distrust and plain old terrible luck conspire to see the destruction of the two most deadly threats to Horus. Just to emphasise: Leman Russ and Magnus The Red disliked, distrusted and '''loved''' each other.
