** Almost as sad is the lead up to it, as we see a lot of Leman's perspective and views on his role as "The Emperor's Executioner." In short? He ''hates it.'' He hates being the sword of Damocles hanging over the head of the brothers he loves, hates acting like a {{Jerkass}} to keep them all at arms' length, and ''despises'' himself for what he did the 2nd and 11th Primarchs -- hell, he even hates being made to keep up the "NobleSavage" act for the Space Wolves' sake, and hates that the spirit of Mother Fenris basically has him on a leash he can never slip. And he tolerates it all just to earn the love of his father who he knows, on some level, will never truly see him as anything other than a tool.
** After beating him, Magnus lays into Russ with an epic KirkSummation about the Emperor -- that the only Primarchs he ''ever'' loved were Horus and Sanguinius, and nothing Russ or any of them do will ever change that, and it ''breaks'' Leman.

* The deaths of Ren and Nora during the Siege of Terra is absolutely tragic. The snippet is told through First Captain Sigismund's point of view and it starts off as bleak as it can be. Traitor Iron Hands Astartes are attacking again and the two Hunters are locked in pitched combat. Before long, a Chaos Champion engages Ren and Nora; they're both incredibly skilled fighters, but the Champion gradually gains ground against them. Sigismund sees them struggling and begins fighting his way through traitor forces with increasing desperation, praying that he arrives in time to help them. In spite of his best efforts, he is too late and both are killed by the Champion.

* The snippet "Of Ponies and Princesses" is pretty sad. The village of Kuroyuri, Ren and Nora's home, was visited by Perturabo who had hoped to supply the people living there with high-tech weapon systems to give them better protection from Grimm. His offer was refused because the people in charge didn't trust that he wouldn't try to exploit them with his merchandise. Just like in canon, Kuroyuri, gets attacked by a horde of Grimm and is destroyed. While Perturabo and Penny are able to drive off the Grimm, they're only able to save Ren and Nora, and Perturabo blames himself for failing to convince the villagers to accept his systems and thereby allowing what might have been a preventable disaster from happening.
