===The Horus Heresy===
[[File:Maloghurst the Twisted-Model.png|thumb|right|300px|His new model in all his crippled glory (and also the first Heresy character to technically get a model update)]]
When Horus turned traitor, Maloghurst happily followed his gene-father into heresy and most of the Sons of Horus against the Emperor. Around this time Maloghurst became the equerry to Horus and acted as an advisor to his Primarch as well as an enforcer and chief of secret police within the legion (for those curious he was the "lining people up against the wall" kind of secret police). He also seems to have fallen to Chaos a lot faster than the rest of his legion, as he started studying and using the [[Warp]] very early into the Heresy. He also took a book out of [[Erebus|that one cunt's]] playbook by creating his own version of the [[Possessed Marine|Gal Vorbak]], known as the Luperci, just before the battle of Molech (3 years into the Heresy). His status gave him a large amount of power during the Heresy and during the [[Battle of Isstvan III|Isstvan atrocity]] Malaghurst got to boss around [[Typhus|Typhon]] and command him where to attack, much to Typhon's chagrin.

Unfortunately for the crippled bugger, his love for his father ultimately was the death of him. After [[Horus]] was rendered comatose by his throwdown with [[Leman Russ]] at Trisolian, Maloghurst was very distraught that Daddy had been injured again and accepted the help of [[Lorgar]] to enter Horus' throne room on the [[Vengeful Spirit]] and perform the same rite as [[Erebus]] had when Horus had been wounded on Davin at the end of the Great Crusade. Maloghurst entered the warp and found part of Horus' soul that had been severed by Russ' attack. This soul-shard had seen that Horus had been tricked by the Chaos gods and was having a whinge about the way things were going while fighting against a bunch of [[daemons]]. Before Maloghurst could reason with the soul-shard, he was dragged back to the real world by a very pissed off [[Horus Aximand]], who informed Maloghurst that his little warp fuckery session had pulled the entire Sons of Horus fleet out of the Warp and into the orbit of a [[Blood Angels]] controlled world. Mal was then thrown into a maze to wander aimlessly while the Sons of Horus attacked the Blood Angels until he was rescued by the commander of the Catulan Reavers. They both fought their way through the ''Vengeful Spirit'' to Horus' throne room. Jumping back into the Warp, Maloghurst found the same part of Horus' soul and tried to convince it that spikey armour and daemons were cool and that he should accept the Chaos gods. But the soul-shard was having none of it, saying that everything was FUBAR and the best thing he could do now was die and stop being the Chaos gods' plaything. Maloghurst realised that the only way to "save" Horus was to kill the last reasonable part of him, so he stabbed the shard, killing Horus' last shred of remorse (and sense), along with himself. Afterward Horus was back and had fully fallen to Chaos and with no regrets or doubt about his path. [[Siege of Terra|And we all know how that then turned out.]]
