History Awesome / TheWeaverOption

* The Imperial ground forces are heavily losing ground against the Necrons, and are facing a BolivianArmyEnding - when suddenly Taylor teleports in, takes control of the ''millions'' of Canoptek Scarabs the Necron army was deploying and promptly turns them on the Necrons. In a second, she completely turns the tide of battle in the Imperium's favor, forcing the Necrons into a retreat.

* A group of Space Marines piloting Dragon Armors infiltrate a group of Chaos-alligned Heldrakes to blow them up with explosives.
* When the Necrons release a shard of the Void Dragon against the Orks and the Imperium, Taylor gives a speech about how there would be no symbolic value in her fighting that dragon, and so, given the way the Warp works, she'd be doomed to lose against it. However, the same isn't true for all of her companions, and she sends Dragon Richter to fight the C'Tan. Dragon wins, while making plenty of DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu comments throughout the fight.

** Taylor later returns the favor by engaging Phaeron Djosakhat and his retinue and inflicting him WoundsThatWillNotHeal through her Anathema Light. Imotekh admits he never felt more furious... or powerless, even calling the clash an humiliation.

** Arrgard's arrival at Mandragora is awesome in its own right. With the Mechanicus forces bloodied and forced to withdraw, the Ork Waagh! emerges from the Warp almost on top of the planet and proceed to crash every ship they have onto the surface, all while Arrgard tells the humans he's going to show them how to have a "proppa scrappa".
* Dragon's dragon robots infiltrate a group of Chaos-alligned Heldrakes to blow them up with explosives.

However, the same isn't true for all of her companions, and she sends Dragon Richter to fight the C'Tan. Dragon wins, while making plenty of DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu comments throughout the fight.

** With these new reinforcements and the Ymga Monolith's teleporting to a Mandragora, Arrgard realises that the Necrons most likely teleported to more of their allies, which to him means that they've gone to a better fight. So he orders for his new fleet to follow after it[[note]]despite Imperial Officers noting that it would be impossible ''to'' follow after the Monolith's teleportation method[[/note]] and orders that '''every Warboss in the galaxy''' be called to come with, goading them that any Warband that stays out of this Ork Mythical fight to be a squig.

** It does not disappoint. [[spoiler: Hsiagn'la's rampage causes massive and permanent losses to Necron forces and Ymga Monolith's facilities before being recaptured by Nemesor Zahndrekh. This counts as a CMoA for Zahndrekh as well.]]

* An arrogant Overlord ignores his underlings' warning about the field of Kane particles he and his entire fleet is flying into. Then the Imperial Fleet ignites it. Neat result: one extra-crispy DeaderThanDead Overlord and the entirety of his fleet, a certain Overlord Sobekhotep having a mental breakdown and the bridge of the Enterprise looking like it's celebrating the Sanguinala. Even [[PyroManiac the Forgefather of the Salamanders]] notes it might have been "[[NoKillLikeOverkill a bit overkill]]" in hindsight.

--> '''Corax:''' The power of Octarite and Chaos Undivided is waning. The pacts and promises you made are worth exactly as much as every pact the immaterial abominations ever swore, which is to say, nothing. You think you have planned for everything. You think your insane gambits can force your problems back into nonexistence if you shout and scream enough. You are wrong. And at the end of the path, this Black Crusade will be remembered as your folly, and know one else's.

* When Lorgar summons a An'ggrath the Unbound(a Bloodthrister somewhat stronger than the Endbringer Ka'Bandha, the Angel's Bane) to attack Cadia, the Emperor summons a Saint who hasn't been born yet from the future[[note]]Implied to be Saint Sabbat, considering her wings and her gold and green colour scheme[[/note]]. Said Saint proceeds to mock the demon's hypocrisy and then kill him on the field of battle, badly demoralizing Lorgar's army while encouraging the humans.

* When Lorgar summons a Bloodthirster (one slightly stronger than the Endbringer Ka'Bandha, the Angel's Bane) to attack Cadia, the Emperor summons a Saint who hasn't been born yet from the future[[note]]Implied to be Saint Sabbat, considering her wings and her gold and green colour scheme[[/note]].

--> '''Bloodthirster:''' You are here. You are weak. I will break you, and offer your skull to Khorne.

* Taylor sends Legio Astorum onto the surface of the Ymga Monolith as a distraction. The real attack? [[spoiler: Ilmarina and some Templar Sororitas sneak into the Monolith to free a C'tan shard of Hsiagn'la, the Frosthell. Taylor then comes down in person to negotiate]].
** It does not disappoint. [[spoiler: Hsiagn'la's rampage causes massive and permanent losses to Necron forces and Ymga Monolith's facilities before being recaptured by Nemesor Zahndrekh. This counts as a CMoA for Zahndrekh as well]]

* Arkos the Faithless successfully betrays Lorgar. Since his betrayal wasn't called for (unlike Drecarth's), is pisses off Lorgar. In the seconds before his execution, decides to FaceDeathWithDignity and {{Troll}} Lorgar by claiming to be acting on Corax's behalf. It works, leaving Lorger absolutely furious.

----

* A rebellious subordinate of Lorgar, in the seconds before his execution, decides to FaceDeathWithDignity and {{Troll}} Lorgar by claiming to be acting on Corax's behalf. It works, leaving Larger outraged.

* When Lorgar summons a Bloodthirster (one slightly stronger than the Endbringer Ka'Bandha, the Angel's Bane) to attack Cadia, the Emperor summons a Saint who hasn't been born yet from the future. Said saint proceeds to mock the demon's hypocrisy and then kill him on the field of battle, badly demoralizing Lorgar's army while encouraging the humans.

* Right before the Black Crusade begins, the Skaven launch a general offensive that overwhelms everything the Word Bearers keep on Sicarus. Lorgar's response? [[spoiler:Make a pact with the Chaos Gods and freeze Sicarus as a sacrifice, in exchange of freeing Slaanesh's aspects!]]

* And, finally, after a decade of build-up, work, preparations and planning... [[spoiler:both '''Operation Stalingrad''' and the '''Fifth Black Crusade''' begin.]]]

* A Tech-Priest struggling to biotransfer psychic insects for Taylor encounters an old man who both assuages his fears and gives him a little inspiration to solve the problem. The old man introduces himself before leaving. The name? [[spoiler:'''Malcador''']].

* The appearance of the ''Tyrannosaurus Rex'', a Titan the size of a mountain that makes normal Battle Titans look like children.

* A Tech-Priest struggling to biotransfer psychic insects for Taylor encounters an old man who both assures him of his fears and gifts him a vision of inspiration to the problem. The old man introduces himself before leaving. The name? [[spoiler:'''Malcador''']].

** The Imperium is successfully studying biotransference. Let me repeat: ''the Imperium is successfully studying biotransference!!!'' They have started with insects, which is going to considerably improve Taylor's arsenal. But they aren't going to stop there, and with the Nerushlatset Dynasty as advisors, they are '''not''' going to repeat the mistakes of the Necrontyrs.

** This deserves elaboration: [[spoiler: Jaghatai Khan]] is found battling in an arena within the Webway. While his escort goes to free him, Rogal Dorn battles ''[[Literature/HorusHeresy Argel Tal]]'', armed with [[EvilWeapon Kha-vir, the Sword of Sorrow]]. Well, he would have if Yvraine didn't steal it. Rogal summarily delivers a CurbStompBattle, and [[spoiler:Jaghatai]] intervenes to send Argel running.
** [[spoiler: Corvus Corax]], meanwhile, pulls a MookHorrorShow on the crew of the Vox Dominus, leaving everyone but Dark Apostle Paristur alive with [[spoiler: a raven's feather on his seat]]. StealthExpert at its finest.

* [[spoiler:The Simurgh]] intervenes in a fight between Malicia's and Khârn's traitor soldiers.
