	Following the War of Beasts, Abaddon came into contact with [[Vashtorr]] the Arkifane, the Lord of the Forge of Souls. The demigod proposed an alliance with the Despoiler, and after learning of his goals to find the relic known as "the Key", he accepted. To do this, Abaddon and Vashtorr built modified Space Hulks called [[Arks of Omen]], which were deployed throughout the Imperium to wreak havoc and secure the fragments of the Key. To matters worse, [[Angron]] had returned to the Materium and was now nearly impossible to banish permanently.

	The assumption that Leviathan had been stopped after the Devastation of Baal proved to be badly mistaken following reports that it had made a sudden attack from the galactic west. As much of the Imperium's fighting forces were concentrated in the Imperium Nihilus in the aftermath of the Arks of Omen campaigns, this meant the Tyranids now had a relatively clear path to Terra itself. Roboute Guilliman has ordered several elite strike forces to slow the Hive Fleet as best as they can in the hopes that it'll buy enough time for the Imperial fleets to arrive, but even he isn't optimistic about their chances of success.

	By the end of the Crusade, Chaos' momentum had effectively been destabilized and halted, but the damage has been done. Hundreds of Imperial worlds have either been destroyed or corrupted beyond measure and while Chaos' advance has been stalled for the moment they're still causing trouble for the Imperials.

	Things didn't let up though, as the Thousand Sons led by [[Magnus]] himself was on the chase. Not wanting to potentially lead the Crimson Cyclops into Terra, Guilliman asked the Eldar to lead them onto Luna instead, which they escaped to but not before Magnus and crew managed to follow them through the webway, as the Eldar couldn't seal the webway gate in time. Things were looking bad once again for the crusaders until a Terran response force comprised of Battlefleet Solar (the fleet incharge of guarding Holy Terra itself), [[Imperial Fists]], [[Sisters of Silence]], and the [[Adeptus Custodes\|The Emperor's Golden Banana Men]] appeared on the scene. The combination of the Sisters of Silence's psychic null field and the collective might of the forces brought together were enough to beat back Magnus and his cohorts back into the Warp.

Naturally, Cypher escaped captivity a few hours later but was noticeably miffed by the betrayal.

	What he and The Emperor discussed is a mystery, but Guilliman went to the Senatorum Imperialis, told the [[High Lords of Terra]] how bad they were and how he was disappointed at how they ruined The Emperor's vision for humanity and declared himself Lord Commander of the Imperium (again), effectively having political power second only to the Emperor himself - at least in theory. The reality is that the Imperium's 10,000 years of unchecked bureaucracy combined with all the power-hungry assholes in the Adeptus Terra mean that even Guilliman's position can't save him from the Chaos God of Red Tape bogging him down. The High Lords even planned a coup to depose him, which was stopped only when the Custodes threatened to intervene and even then it fired off but under controlled circumstances, letting the custodes and loyalist High Lords purge the traitors (and the ones who were fired and joined to gain back power); when combined with the unrelated death of the Master of the Astronomican, this let Guilliman stack the Senatorum with competent loyalists. Having assumed his new role, he set about preparing for the dark times the Imperium had ahead.
