===Survivors===
Towards the end of the [[Unification Wars]], a group of surviving Thunder Warriors under one of their Primarchs [[Ushotan]] took part in the [[Palace Coup]] to seek revenge and death in battle. The rebels were all massacred by the early [[Legiones Astartes]] in their very first engagement, while Ushotan was slain by [[Constantin Valdor]].{{Fn|10b}} Bands of Thunder Warriors continued to exist in hiding however, with some escaping off-world. These were later hunted down and destroyed by the [[First Legion]] of the Legiones Astartes.{{Fn|11}}
Early in the [[Great Crusade]], a small group of surviving Thunder Warriors calling themselves the '''Dait'Tar''' were among the renegades of the [[Cerberus Insurrection]]. The Emperor dispatched the [[XII Legion]] (later known as the [[World Eaters]]) to quell the uprising and punish the traitors. Despite their physical decline, and being severely outnumbered by one of the greatest Space Marine Legions, the Thunder Warriors managed to slaughter four to five times their number in Astartes. The Insurrection was eventually stopped however, after several hours of intense close quarters fighting.{{Fn|5b}}
