Sanguinius against Ka’Bandha (Signus Prime)

Event: The Signus Campaign · Signus Prime

Place: Signus Cluster · Segmentum Ultima

Fig. 1 · Place on the map

In an ambush at Signus Prime, Khorne’s bloodhound Ka’Bandha met Sanguinius in aerial combat, shattered the primarch’s legs and with the “Ragefire” cut down hundreds of Blood Angels, awakening the Red Thirst in the Legion. Recovering from his wounds, Sanguinius gathered his last strength and cast the daemon down, banishing Ka’Bandha back into the immaterium. For this defeat the Bloodthirster was cast out even from the retinue of Khorne — and swore to take revenge on the Angel on Terra.

Outcome Ka’Bandha shatters Sanguinius’s legs, but is banished back into the warp.

Participants

Disputed in the canon

  • The opponent Ka’Bandha is a daemon of Khorne; in the atlas he is listed among the factions rather than the characters, so only Sanguinius is named as a participant in the duel.
