Traitor victory Legio Mortis destroys Legio Ignatum; the Exultant Wall is breached.
Horus threw Legio Mortis, the Sons of Horus and the Dark Mechanicum at the Mercury-Exultant kill-zone before the Exultant Wall. ~50 engines of Legio Ignatum with Imperator-class Titans held, but waves of “zombie Titans” and the Titan “Dies Irae” with a septet of Warlords wore them down. In a combined strike plasma bombs brought down a 300-metre section of the wall; Khârn’s company was the first to climb the rubble.
