Editing Herman von Strab (section)

==The Third War of Armageddon: From Inept to Traitor==
 
When Thraka came back to Armageddon for a rematch against the Imperial forces (and his husbando Yarrick) Imperial strategists expected to see massive fighting throughout the planet, due to the number of orks of this WAAAGH! dwarfing those brought in during the previous war. And yet, to everyone's surprise, Hive Archeon, one of the planet's biggest and most important hive cities, fell to the orks without a single shot fired.

This shocking event was soon to be proven to be Herman von Strab's return to the planet, [[HERESY|as he had allied himself with the orks]] to [[Extra Heresy|reclaim Armageddon as his own]]. To everyone else it would have been obvious that this ploy was allowed by Ghazghkull because the noble was a useful puppet that would be krumped good after the fight was over, [[derp|but von Strab genuinely believed the ork to be his ally]]. Von Strab then publicly announced his return on every channel he could get his hands on, [[FAIL|asking everyone to rebel against the Imperium in his name]], [[RAGE|making sure every single human on the planet and outside of it utterly hated his guts]] as the single biggest traitor imaginable since the [[Horus Heresy]]. This was mind-bogglingly stupid, considering ''EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HUMANITY'S ARMED FORCES'' had come to defend Armageddon and no way in hell would [[Digganobz|most]] Imperial citizen consider allying itself with a raging swarm of beligerent fungi. Since the local nobles were losing power to actual military authorities since the last war, they were willing to work with the orks as well, so von Strab was able to use them to his advantage to introduce the xenos' forces into the hive through secret tunnels.

As the war kept going in the Imperium's favour, internal resistance movements and relief forces started liberating Hive Archeon, the orks began losing ground, and so von Strab began fearing more and more for his life. As described in the novel ''Annihilation Squad'', the court of von Strab had degenerated into debauchery and decadence, and the [[penal legion]] unit of the [[The Last Chancers|Last Chancers]] was sent to execute him, something very complicated considering the orks and the few human forces loyal to von Strab kept him safe. He was ultimately slain by Lieutenant Kage of the Last Chancers, who pulled the traitor into a lava pit with him as he (Kage, not von Strab) was in the process of being possessed by a daemon.
