The Blades Of Magnus are a warband of the Thousand Sons.[1]
Overview
The Blades of Magnus were the first of Prospero’s Sorcerers to devote themselves wholly to their Primarch’s salvation, working in secret to break the bond between the Crimson King and the eldritch forces he had embraced. The Blades adopted the colors of Magnus’ personal guard, the Rehati, but wore them in reverse – in this way they demonstrated their intent to save Magnus despite himself. For long years they toiled in secret, slaying those Daemons with which Magnus had made his devil’s bargains. When the Daemon Primarch learned of their works, he did not reward them, but blasted them with annihilating mental power. Now every one of them is soulless, each but a vessel for Magnus’ will.[1]
Notable Engagements
- M42 - attack on the world of Gassima where the falling from the sky magic dust coalesced around the lifeless Rubric suits and Rubric Marines of the Blades of Magnus stand up and up and started fighting with the Sisters of Silence contingent. In the subsequent conflict all Sisters were killed.[2]
