@@ArbitorIan Very true, there's some legions/primarchs who just can't get past themselves and their own desires/needs. The White Scars seem to have a much more realistic take on what's going on around them and the heresy. Even their own attempted pro-horus coup was quashed pretty quickly when Jaghatai returned and the mutineers pretty much all submitted to his judgement.

Excellent overview! The White Scars have been my favorite of the 1st founding Loyalist Legions, simple because of Jaghatia Khan and his principles/ethics. Id say he is the most “Sane” or “Principally-Sound” of all the Primarchs, even more so than Robute Guilleman. If I where to be Chose/Forced to be an Astartes aspirant during the Great Crusade, I would desperately pray for the God Emperor to bless me to the White Scars! On a Side-Note; Wouldn’t it be amazing if GW/Black-Library put out a bunch of Side-Stories, or Memoirs, detailing Jaghatia-Khan’s Journey/Adventures/Endeavours throughout the Webway for the past 10-Millenia??? How he got lost for centuries travelling throughout the seemingly never-ending Webway landscape, where impossible-architectures contain infinite volumes of interior-space, and the known laws of physics become paradoxical within ever-changing (M.C. Esher)type Labyrinths. How all the “Random” skirmishes with Harlequin troupe that where in pursuit of him, coincidentally(or conveniently) lead him to the Black Library, and Cheggorach.. With it all leading up to the 41st millennia where we find out that there is a new power rising within Commorragh. Where-in rumours abound that there is an Underground Slave Revolt/Rebellion starting to grow after a recent string of House-Noble assassinations, and slave-pen Liberations.
@sonicwingnut2 жыл бұрын
I honestly think Cegorach wants Jaghatai as his guy. And I think it's been the intention all along. I reckon the Emperor expected the Khan to turn during the Heresy and was perplexed when he didn't, but someone like Cegorach could offer the Khan much better terms than the Chaos gods.
@tfan22222 жыл бұрын
@@sonicwingnut If I’m correct, it’s canon that The Khan and Fulgrim’s planets were swapped, hence why the Emperor was surprised that the White Scars stayed loyal and the Emperor’s Children didn’t. Makes sense too, slaneesh would fit the white scars as a chaos god.

@@tfan2222 oh wow actually found the excerpt now, that's interesting. Admittedly it's down to whether or not you trust Magnus as it's his opinion, but given other circumstances I think it's likely to be correct, and it's VERY likely to be Cegorach. The Khan suits Cegorach so much as well - his whole legion are known for well, laughing a lot. And he's supposed to be in the webway somewhere.
