* Doubling as a Funny Moment: Leman Russ' arrival on Terra means dealing with several things he'd rather avoid, such as answering questions regarding how the Space Wolves have been conducting himself, and negotiating with the High Lords. The High Twelve have been forewarned of his arrival, and to top it off, he's not authorised to kill any of them. Leman responds by [[ObfuscatingStupidity playing up his boisterous Barbarian King persona]] and throwing a Fenrisian-style feast that [[RefugeInAudacity gets the entire High Twelve]] drunk out of their skulls, ensuring nothing gets done.

*** This causes everything that kept Chaos from freely acting here to be rendered null, allowing the Four to just revive their fallen and bring everything they have into the fight. Not only that, but Rogal Dorn has single-handedly destroyed Nagash's attempts to claim godhood and Eternity permanently, forcing him to instead settle for a much lesser claim over Tyranny instead. And as Weaver herself stated in the introduction, no matter which other Chaos faction claims victory over the Calyx Hell Stars, the fact that Rogal has successfully denied Eternity to the Yellow King means that ''the Imperium wins by default.''

** When Chaos prepares its assault on the King in Yellow's last fortress, Perturabo drops his surviving Men of Iron to open a beachhead for his Titans - and then teleports himself on the surface, using a Titan that makes the 40-meter tall Warmaster Titans reach out to the top of its legs.
** Omegon and Mortarion take to the field, and the four brothers battle their way to fight and kill their nameless brother, who proves himself a tough cookie when he pretty much one-shots Perturabo.
** The King offers a DealWithTheDevil to Malicia, who fires back that his armies can be vanquished. When the King retorts he is invincible, [[SpannerInTheWorks an Ork WAAAAAAGH! drops in all of a sudden]], leaving ''the entire battlefield'' in StunnedSilence, and the ziggurats that are acting as the King's minions' bases begin to be destroyed.
** The arrival of the Orks prompts the hidden Grey Knights nearby to take on the fight, armed with Aethergold-infused weapons and armor. Which they use to wipe out thousands of demons and skeletons without taking casualties, and then summoning an Angel of Destruction that destroys the Nameless Ziggurat's shields and its top in one blow.
** Leet and Borek, of all people, show up to be the second SpannerInTheWorks to the King in Yellow's plans, helping destroy (by accident) the King's hourglasses he uses for his rituals, ruining the latter's plans.
** Rogal Dorn and Jaghatai Khan then show up, challenging their nameless brother. But, before the latter can act, the four Chaos Primarchs enter the room, ensuring that there are ''seven'' Primarchs together for the first time in millenia. And the Chaos Primarchs and the King start to duke it out, while the Loyalists let them bleed each other.
*** The King is alone only for a short time, because then the Simurgh joins him, as does the former Shard of Isha, who has become Drakira, Queen of Vengeance and Suffering - who quickly impales Mortarion before he can attack the King.
*** Malicia has her forces attack, and manages to stab the King in Yellow with her Black Blade, but the King surprises her by revealing he has subverted Ax'senaea, who proceeds to ambush Malicia, forcing her into a fight to death while all of Chaos' forces in the room are brought down.
*** The King approaches to kill Malicia, who prepares for what she knows she won't survive... but then a true Angel arrives. [[BigDamnHeroes Weaver, the Angel of Sacrifice]], who proceeds to [[DidYouFlipOffCthulhu verbally put the King down]] with pure panache. But she's not there to fight the King... but to deliver Malicia a recruitment offer (which she rejects) and a message to...
*** Rogal Dorn, who quickly understands the meaning and drops in a verbal bomb.
---->'''Rogal Dorn:''' And I am tired of listening to your arrogant proclamations of superiority... '''[[IKnowYourTrueName Nagash]]'''.
*** This causes everything that kept Chaos from freely acting here to be rendered null, allowing the Four to just revive their fallen and bring everything they have into the fight.
*** Malicia is forced to fight Ax'senaea again, and manages to win even though they stabbed each other simultaneously... which at the same time allows Ax'sneaea to become a Daemon Princess, who swears to support Malicia in the future.
*** Lotara Sarrin destroys the last of Nagash's hourglasses and, when Nagash attempts to kill Angron, she does it for him and becomes Angron's replacement in Khorne's service and forces Nagash to run away, allowing her to claim victory in the war (and ownership of the Calyx Hell Stars) as the Nephilim Queen '''Valkia'''.

* 12-3 keeps upping the awesomeness.
** In order to bring down Dust, the first planet to be attacked in the system, Perturabo drops in a Legion-sized group of Men of Iron, which are strong enough to inflict a CurbStompBattle on the legions of skeletons controlled by the King in Yellow. The Mortarch in charge of the defenses of Dust unleashes a ritual that rusts any metal. The Men of Iron are quickly done for.
** After cracking apart Dust with an Exterminatus, the Chaos forces begin to attack in earnest, but Malicia realizes something is amiss and carries out a ritual - revealing that the King has been hiding multiple fleets across the system.
** The Simurgh shows up again, and sends a fleet of brainwashed people (both Imperial and Chaos) against Typhus' fleet, while she opens a way to Typhus' flagship's vault and (after curb-stomping him) turns the pylon of Jaderot he had been working on into another weapon to use - because said pylon contained a shard of Isha that has now acquired life, and it isn't interested in dealing with the Primordial Annihilator.
** The King in Yellow tricks Angron into falling for a trap, putting him in an iron maiden at the middle of his Starfort - which allows him to cause the fort to emit an aura that turns anyone within it into complete berserkers, with no regards for friend nor foe, something that Malicia agrees could have destroyed the Chaos forces. With no other recourse, Lotara sends Hekatii to free Angron, which she does - becoming free from Khorne's influence in exchange of such service. And, before she can be killed, the Queen of Blades shows up to kick Angron out of the Starfort, along with Weaver, who recruits Hekatii into her service.

* An army of a thousand former Rubric Marines (revived due to Malal's shenanigans) led by Azrek Ahriman manages to rescue 9999 of their fellow Marines from one of the pyramids in Sortarius where they were trapped - only for it to turn out to be a trap intended to kill the Marines or force them back into Tzeentch's service. But Ahriman has an ace under his sleeve: he has been preparing a ritual that, when he finishes it, for just a few hours... he becomes '''the God of Sortarius''', allowing him to banish everything Chaos-related in the planet and freeing his brothers to escape - at the cost of being subjected to a FateWorseThanDeath.
* The end of 12-2 is the absolutely ''hellish'' preparations for the Battle of the Calyx Hell Stars, a winner-takes-all apocalyptic war between the Four Gods of Chaos and the King in Yellow for the absolute control of the region.

The result is a duel that every Space Marine around compare as just below the Emperor's duel with Horus, with Taylor (a twenty-something old human) not only matching Sliscus (who is old enough to have been alive when the Fall happened) blow by blow, but defeating him, all while still controlling all the insects running around the ship - and laying traps made of silk that end cutting off Sliscus' hand, forcing the Dark Eldar to admit he has been defeated, accepting [[WorthyOpponent there's no shame in losing to her]] and even warning her about other dangers.
