This story arc, to me, represents everything good about 40k. Who held the line, and refused to retreat or surrender? Not some demonic entity, not some superhuman super soldier. Against all the horrors 2 universes could throw at them, it was men. Regular, unenhanced men. No super battle armor, no advanced tech. Just a shirt, a helmet, and a weapon barely worthy of the name. These men held the line.

[@st2udent_650]

I feel like that's a core tenant of what makes Warhammer 40K great and it feels like the writers and GW as a whole just completely missed that. Without normal humans we have nothing to ground ourselves to in the setting.

It's only certain individuals who have been correctly mutated that can fully tap into the Warp as a true Psyker (like Magnus, Ahriman, or your completed self). Corax is a great example of this, being capable of appearing unnoticed at will, disappearing in the subconscious of others pretty much supernaturally, it's basically a Warp granted supernatural ability

The Battlefleet Gothic under Admiral Spire takes out one of his fortresses. One of them was destroyed above Cadia, and he won the battle by sending its burned-out hulk crashing to the surface.

One thing to consider here, Abbadon blew up the planet but still failed as a planet is not what resists his invasions, it's the people and they remained unbroken although probably a bit more pissed off than usual. This whole time, despite whatever poorly thought out plot contrivances GW throws at us, his ships could occupy the space fully around Cadia, there was nothing to stop him from bypassing and isolating it. This whole time the only thing that kept him so fixated on it was his own misconception that an inanimate pile of rock flying through space was the source of his troubles. I wonder, if Abbadon looked into a mirror would he recognize his own reflection or would he get upset at this upstart challenging him?

[@batteredwarrior]

*Abaddon

[@WitcherCrow]

Dude, have you read any Chaos marine codex since 3th ED? Because you seem like typical ignorant Imperial fanboy. Abaddon's Crusade have always bypassed Cadia and went into the heartlands of the Imperium. The space around Cadia System is just the fastest area any traitor fleet can exit the Eye of Terror. Each time a traitor fleet exits the Eye it finds itself beset by Imperial guns. Only after a mauling does any traitor fleet gets to leave that space. What's hilarious now is that after the Great Rift things switched. Now the traitors hold a incredibly important passage. The Nachmund Gauntlet which is the only stable route through the Great Rift. So if Imperial fleets want to travel north to help their beleaguered brethren , they have to brave traitor guns the same way traitors did brave the guns of Cadia. Lets see how many times the Imperials will fail to break open the Nachmund Gauntlet.

[@Mr.Boy112]

lolroflroflcakes theres necron pylons there that stop the eye from expanding

[@papanurgle8393]

Because it absolutely was. Cadia's destruction was never a question of personal vendetta or obsession out of unthinking rage. It was pure pragmatism that motivated his descision to destroy it. The Blackstone fortress being lost? Trivial in the end. All that was needed was for Cadia to die. A galvanized resistance by the Imperium? Meaningless. The Imperium is pressed on every conceivable side, for 10k years Cadia and the Pylon network were the only thing that kept the Chaos forces in check. With Cadia removed, Warbands are free to raid at will with total impunity, settle pocket empires far beyond the Eye of Terror and further degrade the Imperium. The gambit to end the War in one fell swoop died along with Horus, it could never return. Abaddon was smart enough to see it first, and to understand how to use it to an advantage. The Legions as they were are gone, reduced to Warbands so petty and fragmented they can at times barely be called a raiding force, with only a few kept together by halfhearted oaths, their discipline and structure dead. But in their place is savagery, agency and at times insanity. Given the proper enviornment, they would not fall upon themselves as they do within the Eye, but only spread the Imperium ever more thinly, all Abaddon has to do, is wait and watch as it weakens to nill.

[@papanurgle8393]

@@lolroflroflcakes Except that's objectively false. Navigating outside of the eye Via any route other than the Gate itself is an extremely difficult and innacurate prospect where you literally have no real clue where the fuck you'll end up if you make it out at all. There definitely exist other avenues but none are as safe or direct, and many just lead back to the Cadian gate, even the Warp Ghosts, literal ferrymen of the eye take you there. Seriously man, if leaving the Eye was such a walk in the park for Chaos you'd have 1 of two scenarios: 1-EVERY SINGLE planet within a comparible distance to the eye would be just as fortified, patrolled or monitored and they'd run into the same problem as Cadia itself. 2-Chaos would launch raids with such hilarious ease the Imperium would have been wiped out by M.32 having an untouchable safe zone to jump in and out of. Simply put, the Great Rift itself was more or less the end goal, and would have been completely impossible with the Pylon Network, aka Cadia, still standing. One of the major issues to the Warbands raiding the Imperium was the lack of a safe haven.Holding territory, especially on a planetary scale is a monumental undertaking, most Chaos groups don't have the means to effectively do so without the Warp, conquering Cadia would be astronomically stupid as it gives them nothing in the end. If you want examples of how badly these holdings fail without the immaterium, you need look no further than the Scouring; The Imperium cannot and does not put up with that shit. There is no way Chaos insurgency forces could survive or even hope operate in frequently visited Imperial Space for any considerable period of time without a warp rift to hide behind. Fact is, the only reason the Traitor Legions have survived this long is because of the secure and untouchable locations like the Eye of Terror and the Maelstorm. The pylon network prevented either one from spreading further, now the Imperium is cut in half and it's a free for all with a galaxy wide zone that Imperial ships simply cannot go through and from which Chaos can raid with total impunity, Cadia's fall and Magnus's ritual guaranteed it. Now, if your issue lies with inconsistencies in regarding stellar dimensions, space for mobility of forces or the freedom of direction that comes with it; I'm right there with you. If you really want we can add time dilation to the mix and we'll be here all week. I'd argue that the problem is prevalent in just about every universe set in outer space (star Wars included), and Hell even the game this comes from makes no sense if u really get down to it. Ships should and could be able to move up or down at will instead of basically conforming to naval battles in space. The one explanation I could see is that any path out of the Eye that wasn't a complete shot in the dark that may or may not leave you on the outskirts of the galaxy, or risks teleporting you inside a sun, plops you back in the Cadian Sector, so you'll be faced with it either way this is reinforced by the decision of the aforementioned Warp Ghosts.

[@OniLeafNin]

I've been thinking it would be cool if they made a dawn of war type game that combined all the games into one full experience. If Cadia is attacked, fight the void war in Gothic Armada, then launch a Dawn of War type game (not III obviously) to fight the ground war for the same continual story. If you do well in the Void War the ground war has more options for support, reinforcements ect. If you do poorly however, your troops are on their own.

[@Fourtytwo4242]

that would most likely be Gothic four.

[@ranek1990]

How so?

[@CaptainHoyt]

@@ranek1990 I didn't really like the book, especially the bits with Felix in it. I coulda got a vox emmiter that just shouted "FOR GUILLIMAN" every 5 minutes and it would've had the same amount of depth as that character. Also Guilliman is the most boring Primarch, give me Russ or Lion any day.

[@6killersfear4]

@@CaptainHoyt Yeah, Girlyman is kind of, ... stale? for lack of better world. He is not bad per say, but neither is he the greatest of them. Personally i would have prefered Russ, since he is the blunt executioner of the emperor. Far more fitting if you ask me. Would have been kind of entertaining to see administratum and ministorum try and stop him. At the same time i dont think that the space viking would have hard time inspiring loyality in the warrior culture of the imperium's defenders, rallying them to his cause in the emperor's will and so on. But maybe i may be biased against Gorrilaman because of the Ultramarysues and that stupid piece of manure called codex astartes.

[@AzraelSoulHunter]

@@6killersfear4 Especially if Russ was to meet Magnus. It could be really heavy moment considering what Russ did to Magnus because of Horus. It would really well develop his character.

The painting animation is kind of cheesy but works at the same time. The style matches with 40k which is good, just imagine the warp fueled horrors if a more genetic tumbler or kid friendly animation style was used. Update: With warhammer + stuff that is like motion comics that are not quite fluid like regular annimation this still stands as the top of warhammer animation.

[@bigsadge747]

chaos gods do a small amount of mischieviousness

[@FirstLast-cg2nk]

Before leaving Cadia, Abaddon saluted its defenders one final time. For ten thousand years, these brave men and women fulfilled their duty and held the line against the forces of Chaos. For ten thousand years, Abaddon had to plot, scheme, and maneuver before he could gain the forces and the resources needed to break through Cadia's defenses and finally destroy it. No other planet in the Imperium, save Holy Terra itself, could require that much planning and preparation to break.
