Ok, I'm doing some research on the Siege of Terra and I need all the fluff you guys have. This is what I have so far;



Major players/Good Primarchs present;

Emperor
Sang.
Dorn
Khan
Sister of Silence leader (Can't recall her name)
Chief Custodian Constantine Valdor



Major players/Bad Primarchs present;

Horus
Mortarion
Angron
Magnus (Some say yes, some say no...?)
Konrad Cruze (Some say he was conducting his genocidal campaign...others say he was present at Terra and started after..?)
Lorgar (?)
Lord of BloodThirsters



I've found this fluff, which appears rather old;

I'm specifically looking for stories/scenes around the Primarchs/Major players...and answers to whether Konrad/Lorgar/Magnus were there. Thanks for any help...

Magnus had his head chopped off on istvaan IV if I remember correctly.
Also, even though he wasn't a primarch, kharn was slaghtering hundreds of marines. And I'm pretty sure Magnus wasn't present on terra. Hope this helps.

EDIT:wups!It wasMannus who had his head chopped off.

Horus was super close to crushing the Imperial Palace.
Then he lowered the shields on his flag ship. Some say he did this to gain a better view of the battlefield. (wtf though)
Then the Emperor teleported aboard Horus's ship with the custodes and Sanguinius (totally butchered his name )
Horus slays Sanguinius
Then Horus and the Emperor duel.
Horus mortally wounds the Emperor, and attempts to finish him off.
The Emperor summons all of his psy/ physical strength to Slay Horus.

With the death of the warmaster, all chaos forces become disorganized and retreat

I'm pretty the fabricator general was also present as a good guy. I believe he's known as Fabricator General Kane?

From the board game that GW released, Horus Heresy, Angron, Magnus, Mortarion and Fulgrim and their respective legions were all present at the siege of Terra.

Horus lowered his shields to draw the Emperor to him in an attempt kill him and break the siege. He did this because loyalist SM reinforcements were on their way and very close to reaching Terra.

Magnus was present at Terra, at least according to the old WD fluff I linked. IIRC, Magnus was about to be killed by Russ..made a deal with Tzeentch and escaped into the Warp. Only later, to appear even more gigantic (He was already by far larger than a Primarch) at the Siege.

I know Sang took on the King BloodThirster
I know the DeatGuard/Mortarian were going after the port/Khan

What I don't know (and maybe there is no fluff here)...is;

What was Dorn doing/fighting before he went up with big E to Horus?
What was Angron doing when the siege started?
Was Konrad there...or not?

All I can answer is the Dorn part. When the emperor, his 2 primarchs and bodyguard teleported on the ship, such was the taint of chaos on it that they all scattered. It is most likely that the custodes, marines and dorn were all fighting heretics, daemons, and chaos spawn to get to the bridge where Horus was waiting.

To add to all of this, it appears the only legion that was 'corrupted' in appearance at the Siege was the Death Guard;

So....Mortarion was definitely there and it appears he was a full fledged demon prince when he arrived....and the Death Guard were at least 'starting' to appear like Plague Marines.

I though they teleported straight to the bridge?

No, Horus scattered them around the ship when they attempted to teleport. Then he tried to lead Sang to the dark side....and killed him when he said no. This is in my original link up above.

@AgeofEgos:No. On pg. 14 of the csm codex, it said, "Bloodthirsty berzerkers of the world eaters legion were the first to attempt an all-out assault against the Imperial Palace, and were hurled back after days of bloody fighting."

Also, Angron was present at the siege. On pg. 14 of the csm codex it says "Angron of the world eaters slew loyalist space marines, by the dozen."

Well..they were called Zerks before...but I'm more interested in what they looked like...not what their mind set was . In the fluff I've read thus far, they had started smearing blood over their preheresy armor...but hadn't actually changed in appearance.

I know Angron was there, I linked that in my first post. What I'm unsure of is if Konrad was there.
