Luther had brought with him a heretical book that taught him how to subjugate the Warp spirit by learning its true name. Zahariel initially objected to the use of such sorcery but ultimately relented to Luther's plan.

During the parley, the rebel leaders ask what the Imperium has actually given them: their lands and forests are stripped, mountains levelled, and people crammed together all to fund the Imperium's goals -- goals that have nothing to do with the interests of Caliban. "What we know is that that we're being impoverished for the sake of people we don't know and have never seen. We've had our culture and traditions taken from us," they bitterly told the Luther. Reputed continuity problems introduced in the series by story elements in The Outcast Dead have been the subject of discussion among the Warhammer40,000 fan community ( Antigonos et al. 2011); see also Dembski-Bowden (2012a, §"Author's Note", p.9) In the one-hundred-and forty-seventh standard year of the Great Crusade, Luther and roughly five hundred Dark Angels are reassigned to Caliban after just one solar week into their first tour of the Great Crusade. There are several different types of Fallen. They have no unified outlook or goal. Many Fallen are non- Chaos renegades who seek the destruction of the Imperium in a continuation of their rebellion. Others serve the Chaos Gods and have fully succumbed to Chaos, yet still others realise they were mislead in their rebellion and once again fight in the Emperor's name.

The rebel leaders have been aware of Caliban's Warp taint, and report that thousands -- tens of thousands -- of Calibanites have been dying in droves in the unforgivable living conditions into which they have been pressed by the Administratum.

Honour to the Dead depicts Titan warfare on Calth in the moments immediately following the Word Bearers’ treachery. The Horus Heresy is a dark, far future military space opera [2] concerning a galactic civil war within the nascent Imperium of Man, and which constitutes a cornerstone event of the dystopian science fantasy Warhammer40,000 universe. The Horus Heresy is presented as a major chapter of conflict in the Warhammer 40,000 lore: it is caused by a Chaos plot to foil the Imperium's leader and founder, the mysterious Emperor of Man, by fomenting rebellion and internecine warfare in the expanding Imperium of Man. The story focuses on the Emperor's 18 genetically engineered sons, the Primarchs, and the legions of genetically enhanced superhuman soldiers that they lead, the Legiones Astartes, which find themselves divided into loyalist and traitor factions as they struggle for religious hegemony. [3] Three years after the Word Bearers' departure from Colchis the 1,301st Expedition has traveled past the edge of known Imperial space and comes across a vast area where Warp energy bleeds into reality. At a meeting of expedition commanders the main astropath of the fleet flagship De Profundis tells them that a kind of psychic scream is emanating from a planet on the edge of the storm. Lorgar, with his limited psychic gifts, is able to inform the gathered commanders that the scream is not wordless: someone is shouting his name into the Warp.

Luther explained that the Calibanite rebellion was over and that all the Terrans present on the world had been rounded up. Luther says they must plan to secure Caliban's freedom from the Imperium. Zahariel expressed his disbelief that such a thing is possible; sooner or later Imperial reprisals would come and Caliban would be finished. In the two hundredth standard year of the Great Crusade, Luther stops the newest batch of recruits from deploying to the Great Crusade. The reason, he tells Zahariel, is that a rebellion has been going on all over Caliban for roughly a solar decade. The Eagle's Talon: Imperial Fists storm a warship in Tallarn's orbit, resorting to unthinkable tactics to achieve victory. Upon reaching Aldurukh, Zahariel forces Cypher to take him, the rebel leaders, Israfael, and Merir Astelan to Luther. Luther is deep within Aldurukh, reading the books in its library. Luther was ragged and thin as if he hadn't eaten or slept in many solar days.

His other key rule is Infiltrate, and all of the above counts double if you join him to a unit that get to set up last – exactly where you want it. The best unit for Cypher to join? Fallen

The Lord of the Fallen is able to join either Imperial or Chaos units as Battle Brothers, giving you loads of options on what to do with him. He brings with him a raft of useful special rules – not least of which are Hit and Run and Shrouded. As well as bringing the not insignificant threat of his blazing pistols, he also makes one of your units incredibly durable to enemy shooting when in cover and all but impossible to pin-down in combat. Unless the enemy devotes considerable resource to dig this unit out, they’re going nowhere. The following lists pertain to regular or general-availability UK first editions.

He studied as a squire in the Knights of Caliban under his "gain-father" Aurnrod, though these along with his birth parents were all slain eventually by the Great Beasts. [9a] Shortly after marriage, his wife and daughter also passed. Sometime after, Luther discovered the young Lion El'Jonson in the forest. [6]
