Editing Lambach Kropor (section)

==Brotherwar==
For Lambach and the Chosen of Hecate, the Brotherwar would start much earlier than for the others.

The Chosen of Hecate played no part in the Ullanor campaign that saw the naming of the three warmasters, though it is assumed Lambach's support would have been for his long time friend and mentor Je'she (though after feeling slighted by Je'she at Nikea perhaps this may not have been the case). The Chosen, singularly among the Legions, sent no envoys to the Imperial palace when they received word of the Emperor's injury and interment into the Golden Throne.  

After the death of so many of his sons and finally his favored son and best friend Radcliff Kaden, Lambach snapped. The Primarch had not been idle while his legion ground itself down on the fringes of the galaxy; Lambach had gathered all the knowledge and wisdom he had been able to gather over the course of the crusade. He had learned much of what the Emperor was trying to hide from his sons and indeed the entire Imperium. He now understood about the greater creatures that lived beyond the veil-- or so he thought... 

Distraught at the loss of his closest son, Lambach invoked a spell he had learned during his studies of the ancient texts, a spell from the forbidden lore of the Goddess Hecate herself. A spell of rebirth. This spell made use of vile magics and had been locked away in ancient times for a very good reason. The bodies of Kaden and his men would indeed rise again, to Lambach’s rejoicing, but this joy was short-lived. Kaden and his men were mindless husks of their former selves that immediately attacked their former brothers. They clawed at their armour and tried to bite their flesh. Lambach realized that with the power of his absolute will he could control the awful abominations he had created and that he could calm them and direct their actions.

This was not the only repercussion of the hex that Lambach had wrought. It sent a shriek through the warp. Many ancient beings turned their attentions towards the Master of Undeath. Back on Terra Malcador also took note, and realised that Kropor had made a horrible transgression. Malcador informed Warmaster Je’She, a close friend of Lambach.  Je’she, though new to power could not let such a huge oversight of his father's last decree go unpunished. So it was with a heavy heart he sent summons to Linares of the Silver Blades and Raj Vokar of the Titan Marchers, two of Lambach’s closest brothers and friends. They were to track down Lambach Kropor, disable his Legion and bring him back to Terra.

The three Legions met on Lambach's home world of Miletus. Lambach was pleased to see his two closest brothers, though Linares and Raj could barely recognize him as the man they once knew. Kropor was convinced that he would be able to convince his two brothers to join his crusade and demand of the Emperor answers to why they were betrayed. After all Linares had always been Lambach's main supporter of the Librarian cause and the Chosen of Hecate had greatly guided and aided the Silver Blades Librarian program. Raj, Lambach knew also had his doubts to the direction the Imperium was taking and had questions of his own.

However it was not to be. Lambach's brothers both proved more loyal to the Imperium than to Lambach; while the Master of Undeath was shocked by this outcome he was also prepared for it. A trap was sprung on the superior numbers of the loyal Primarchs,  Lambach's newfound undead servants causing devastation to their ranks. Lambach entered a duel with Linares while the rat-like creature that was now Radcliff Kaden engaged Raj.

In their long history of friendly duels Lambach had never once bested Linares, who was considered by most others to have been the best swordsman among the brotherhood, but this time was different. For the first time Lambach fought his brother with his full psychic potential unleashed and for the first time Linares gave ground to Kropor's onslaught. Lambach could perhaps have come away from this battle victorious but still he was sure that he could convince his brothers to join their forces with his own. Instead of striking Linares down when he had the chance, Lambach stopped and again offered Linares the chance to accompany him. This was all the time Linares needed and the Lord of Ale battered Lambach to the ground and pummeled him into submission, while Raj finished off the Kaden monster. At the same time Taarush Amin 1st Captain of the Titan Marchers located and disruptd the Chosen sorcerers who were maintaining the ritual spell which were animating the battlefield's dead, while Shipmaster Tijo Nosebi and Captain Parthenios, who had opposed Lambach's plan, led the other Chosen of Hecate who had disagreed with the Primarchs plan form the planet to seek shelter with Lord Gyahdred and the Dusk Phantoms. 

As Linare's blade descended time seemed to stand still. Lambach rose from the ground. He could see everything. His brother still straddled his body, blade poised to pin him to the dias. Lambach felt the presence of two divine beings: The Weaver of Fate, eager to enlist a Psychic champion of Lambach’s renown, offered the Primarch phenomenal cosmic powers while Father Nurgle offered the Lord of Undeath true mastery of his titular abilities and eternal life for his men.

Linares blade stabbed down into Lambach’s chest, pinning the Master of Miletus to the floor. Linares leaned in close and was surprised to see a smile on his lips. Lambach let out a shrill shriek and suddenly burst into a swarm of plague ridden rats which swarmed over the Lord of Ale. Raj rushed to his brother’s aid and, with the help of flamer, the vermin were swiftly vanquished. Lambach was nowhere to be seen. Chosen of Hecate transports were taking off and being harried by the surviving Silver Blades and Titan Marchers. Lambach was gone. The Chosen had fled. Reports from the captains of the 54th fleet reported what seemed to be clouds of flies swarming their ships, preventing them from taking real action against the Chosen of Hecate fleet. There were no traces of Lambach to be found. The next time either Raj or Linares would see their brother would be at the side of Marduk Engur, Warmaster of Chaos.

Lambach and the Chosen were branded traitors against the Throne, and unsure of exactly what to do next, Lambach once again decided to place faith in a brother he shared a bond with, Elsu Eyanosa of the Soaring Host. Lambach led his battered fleet to the remote system that Elsu called home. Unknown to Lambach his mutant brother had already thrown in his lot in with Chaos several years beforehand. Lambach had been one of the very few brothers Elsu had a strong bond with; nearly every other Primarch, save Marduk, treated Elsu and his legion as an abomination. For four years Lambach and his Chosen licked their wounds on Thashunke. With Elsu's help Lambach came to terms with his new existence, learning exactly how to harness his new found power. Eventually Warmaster Marduk would arrive on Thashunke. Marduk would tell the brothers of his plan of recruiting several more legions, overthrowing the other Warmasters and putting an end to the Emperor. Both Lambach and Elsu saw they had no other option than to join Marduk's cause. While Marduk and Elsu would head to the planet of New Hope to set Marduk's master plan into motion Lambach assured Marduk that he would be able to convert Gyahdred and the Dusk Phantoms. After all, joining with Marduk's cause would free Dusk Phantoms of their closely guarded secret. Failing that, Lambach would disable the Phantoms and remove the threat they would pose as a Legion.

Gyahdred hosted Lambach on the Moon of Grethor. The two Primarchs met and talked at length, Lambach telling Gyahdred all that had happened and then offering the Dusk Phantoms a place at Marduks side. The Phantom Lord could not deny the offer was anything but tempting; joining with Lambach now would mean no more need to hide the shame of his Legion's dark secret. In the end, Gyahdred would refuse Lambach's offer and again Lambach would be stunned that another of his close brothers could turn him down, but he had promised Marduk that the Dusk Phantoms would be removed from play. Unknown to the Master of the Chosen, his very own former Ship Master Tijo Nosebi had fled with a small complement of his own sons from Miletus. They had sought shelter with the Dusk Phantoms and had carried word of Lambach's betrayal of the Silver Blades and Titan Marchers. As Lambach sought to close his trap Gyahdred's fleet made use of the knowledge Tijo had provided them and struck at the Chosen Fleet's most critical and vulnerable locations; strike teams had been prepared for the betrayal and were dispatched to shut down the Chosen sorcerers as swiftly as possible at the onset of battle. Lambach himself found his own psychic talents repressed in his duel with Gyahdred due to a technological dampener of the Phantom Lords own devising. Though the Dusk Phantoms were savagely bloodied, the Chosen of Hecate fleet was deemed crippled beyond serviceable use. Not knowing how Nurgle's curse affected the Chosen and figuring they had no time to completely wipe out what little remained of the Chosen fleet the Dusk Phantoms would rush from the system to carry news of Marduk's plan for betrayal, though Gyahdred's warnings would mostly fall on deaf ears. From this great loss the Chosen fleet would not fully recover until the Siege of Terra.

During this time Lambach Kropor would track down his brother Ashur, who was being held captive and collared by his own Legion in a state of mindless slumber, his once powerful body now mutated almost beyond recognition. Using his sorcery Lambach would wake Ashur and free his shackled mind, returning to his brother a modicum of his free will. Ashur of Banipal who had once both loved and despised Lambach with equal measure was now convinced that Lambach had been visited and blessed by the Babylonian gods and swore to join Lambach in Marduk's crusade.

At the siege of Terra Lambach's warpcraft and his Chosen of Hecate legionaries would prove instrumental to the Chaos invasion of the Throne World. Most notably taking control of Eternity Wall Spaceport, capturing and releasing his brother Raj Vokar. Every defender that fell in service to the throne would rise up at the command of the Master of Undeath. 

Ultimately and somewhat ironically it would be the death of Raj that would cost the Chaos forces their victory on Terra. 
Once Deshain Kane of the Gunslingers had executed the Titan Lord, both Linares and Lambach flew into a rage and made to attack the newly formed Daemon Prince of Khorne. Realizing that neither stood a chance against Kane individually the two brothers fell into their old fighting habits. Seeing their masters fight against each other both the Chosen of Hecate and the Gunslingers also began to fight among themselves, effectively halting the Chaos push into the palace while the loyalists were able to reap a bloody harvest. Seeing his chance at victory fading Marduk Engur was forced to make one last desperate push for the Throne.

Linares and Lambach were able to banish Kane after a hard-won fight. Linares was then set to put an end to Kropor but Lambach pointed out that if Linares wasted time fighting him then none would be capable of standing before Marduk and the Emperor would be slain. Linares vowed that next time their paths crossed there would be a reckoning before departing. Lambach and the Chosen of Hecate would then withdraw from the Siege, taking the Body of Raj Vokar with him.
