This is my favorite heresy dreadnought story. It makes me think of the Necromonger high priest walking into the firestorm of daylight Crematoria in Chro. Of Riddick. He stands until the bome are vaporized to ash. The Death Guard embody Stoic Endurance. They defy entropy ,t b eir jaws locked in silent vigil. But this last walk was also gentle and tender.

Pushing back the rot for a clean death. End of Watch.
It's moments in the lore like this that, despite everything else, we are reminded that Astartes are still human at their core. To wrap defiance, anger, spite, difference, caring, brotherhood, and mercy all into one single act is a very human thing to do.
And the Legion of the Damned grows ever larger. The Emperor's daemons burn with rage to sear the Emperor's wrath, and their own, into the festering souls of the traitorous legions. "This death...this death is ours. We choose it. We deny you your victory."
“A duty. Honorable. Discharged.” God I love the dreadnaughts either the craziest, loyalist, destructive, or determined space marines alive sometimes all of them together and will gladly die with their brothers by going out in a nuclear explosion. Or standing against legions of enemy’s to fall beside their brother. It’s truly some amazing stuff.
Stories like this make my stomach churn, thinking about how their primarchs so casually threw their sons aside, terran or not Shit instantly reminds me of a lot of my friends who have been victims of equally terrible "parents"
The loyalists in the Traitor Legions were truly the most balling fuckers out there. Like the one World Eater that insulted Angron. Which for the first time made Angron respect one of his Sons.

I cry every time! 😢
"We'll go together then, shall we?"
It's moments in the lore like this that, despite everything else, we are reminded that Astartes are still human at their core. To wrap defiance, anger, spite, difference, caring, brotherhood, and mercy all into one single act is a very human thing to do.
imagine being a loyalist from a traitor legion, and knowing no limits to how badass you are.
“This death? This death is ours. We choose it. We deny you your victory.”
"Minor Nuclear Explosion Visible from Orbit"
I wish most people nowadays were this loyal sadly it's not possible it seems
And the Legion of the Damned grows ever larger. The Emperor's daemons burn with rage to sear the Emperor's wrath, and their own, into the festering souls of the traitorous legions. "This death...this death is ours. We choose it. We deny you your victory."
The very definition of "even in death, i serve"😢
"This Death is ours. We deny you your Victory."
“A duty. Honorable. Discharged.” God I love the dreadnaughts either the craziest, loyalist, destructive, or determined space marines alive sometimes all of them together and will gladly die with their brothers by going out in a nuclear explosion. Or standing against legions of enemy’s to fall beside their brother. It’s truly some amazing stuff.
“A duty honorably discharged”
"You do not claim us, traitor!"
I have endured nine hundred and ninety nine deaths...this one, I have earned-you have not.
Truly a loyal and dedicated friend and brother. Which is the sweetest thing ever~
Me to the Hulk as he charges head first forwards me (I’m holding the entire battalion of automatons back so my friends can extract without me):
Yawn...boring self glorification. Grow up.
They died in their own terms.
I found this song! Scott Buckley - Tears in rain
You my friend are the people because of whom our universe isn't like that of 40k
In the 40k setting there are no victors, just loyal men who make sure traitors lose.
“Minor nuclear explosion” and “could be seen from orbit” are very much exclusive terms.
Minor in Warhammer terms
>minor nuclear explosion
>seem from orbit
This was always the moment that made me cry
Right up there with the dreadnaught blood angel
"I...would have liked to see the skies of Baal...one last...time"
Honestly the pre-heresy death guard are some of my favorite characters from the Horus heresy
One of the best examples of “we choose to die on our own terms not yours” ever
Brought me to tears reading this part back in the day.
Stories like this make my stomach churn, thinking about how their primarchs so casually threw their sons aside, terran or not
Shit instantly reminds me of a lot of my friends who have been victims of equally terrible "parents"
"Minor nuclear explosion"
"You can see it from orbit"
*remembers it's 40k universe*
You're not wrong, but only in this universe are you right.
We fight together, we die together.
Few stories make me tear up quite like this one
Father...
You betrayed us... for the Witch...?
Mortarion: "I hate this."
Why do such acts of courage and loyalty make me shed tears.
I can not choose when I die, but I can choose how.
Two guys who lived and died with more honor than most of the primarches
The loyalists in the Traitor Legions were truly the most balling fuckers out there. Like the one World Eater that insulted Angron. Which for the first time made Angron respect one of his Sons.
"If we are to die, WE DIE BY OUR OWN HANDS!"
That's fucking metal.
When you know you're gonna go, give a nuclear finger to your enemy.
My favorite chapters are loyalist, but my favorite marines are all from traitor legions
"Only in death, does our service end."
Sometimes warhammer 40k give you some goofy story. And sometimes each word is write in fire and passion!
Truely Badass.
