Herald of the Storm
The Herald of the Storm, also known as the Storm Lord is the name given by the Eldar in times long forgotten to a Necron Lord who was the foremost servant in service of the C'tan. His slumbering form is known to have rested in a tomb complex located beneath the seventh world of the Medusa System[1a] where he lived for sixty million years.[1b] After his awakening, he became an architect of his masters' Great Work when they detected the arrival of a Warp Storm towards Medusa V. Thus, they began the construction of a Null Shield in the chilly Telosian desert which would shelter the world from the fury of the Warp and allow the population of the planet to fall to the mercy of the Necrons' harvest.[1a]
Ultimately, the Necrons failed in their mission during The Fall of Medusa V with the great pylons left uncompleted and thus unable to protect the world from the Warp Storm. As a result, the Herald of the Storm was abandoned on Medusa V by the Deceiver, who cursed the Necron Lord to endure the planet as it was engulfed by the warp. However, the Deceiver promised to return once the storm had passed in order to bring about his true punishment on the Storm Lord for his failure. The C'tan then teleported away with the rest of the Necron forces, leaving the Herald of the Storm behind.[1a][1b]
Notes
The Herald featured in "The Fall of Medusa V" campaign with his fate being presented on the Games Workshop website after the completion of the event.
