Hamiclar Vort
Hamiclar Vort was a Captain of the White Scars Chapter, who led his Brotherhood against the Perfidious Host Warband and its leader the Chaos Lord Varus Hos[1a]. The battle initially fared badly for the White Scars, as the Host killed a great number of the Brotherhood and began to overwhelm the remnants of his forces. Under Hamiclar's leadership however, they recovered and began inflicting massive losses on the Warband; turning the tide of the battle to their favor. It was near the battle's end, that Varus, seeing that the White Scars' victory was almost within their grasp, charged Hamiclar as their forces waged war around them. In their duel Hamiclar's Artificer Armour saved his life numerous times, as Varus' Power Sword could not penetrate it, no matter how many times the Chaos Lord struck. With this advantage, Hamiclar was able to kill Varus and his forces destroyed the Warband soon afterwards. The price was high however, as his Brotherhood was decimated in order to achieve a hard fought victory for the White Scars.[1b]
