Editing Horus Heresy (section)

===Jaghatai Khan: Warhawk of Chogoris===
Basically a recap of some of the White Scars' more important pre-Heresy campaigns, including conquering the Nephilim homeworld and killing a shitload of Orks on a planet made of psychically resonant crystals. The main thing the book does is confirm that Jaghatai was always meant to be a wild card. More importantly, it shows that while he didn't really agree with the Emperor about anything, especially the Imperial Truth, he was still willing to serve the Imperium in his own way (read: killing xenos on the edges of the galaxy while everyone else built an empire behind him). Also shows the Khan trying to plan ahead for the [[Council of Nikaea|inevitable showdown]] between pro and anti-psyker factions in the Imperium, and how the warrior lodges were first introduced to the Scars. A meeting takes place between Sanguinius, Magnus and the Khan to talk about protecting the Librarius but Magnus is dismissive as ever about it and doesn't seem to take the issue very seriously. The White Scars fight together with the Luna Wolves against Greenskins and the former legion uses their Librarius against the Orc shamans, in order to not miss a conquest deadline set by the Khan, who of course likes to go very fast in all manner of ways. This has a subtle backfire for the Imperium, as the Luna Wolves disapprove of the Librarius. Horus himself is implied to give Jagathai the cold shoulder as a result of this, due to Horus trying to be on his most neutral, goodie good boyscout behavior, in anticipation of winning the title of Warmaster. The Khan thus loses support of Horus regarding the psyker dilemma. On a side note, we learn that the V Legion's original name was the Star Hunters, and that they relied heavily on armor and mechanized infantry before the Khan and his Chogorian posse taught them to love jetbikes and going ''real'' fast. Oh, and they became known as the White Scars because of a mistranslation, not unlike the Vlka Fenryka/Space Wolves. Much better book than most in the Primarchs series, as it's basically a Horus Heresy book and not a novel about a no-stakes Crusade campaign (Guilliman's book) nor a deep dive into the Primarch's life before the Emperor (Lorgar's). This is also a companion piece / prequel to Brotherhood of the Storm (this book directly intertwines with Brotherhood near the end) and Scars.
