The naked arrogance, greed and contempt for their audience is shocking. Look I make balloon animal. Then Sanguinius of the Blood Angels , flanked by the gold-armoured honour detail of the Sanguinary Guard , his mighty wings folded back across his battle-plate , his face turned to the sky to welcome the impossible, majestic sight before him.
Then, finally, came Horus of the Luna Wolves , the Hero of Ullanor, liberator and first among equals. Horus, who was to be given the new honour of an Imperial title above and beyond any that had been bestowed before; a title, it could be said, that would forever carry the echo of his name.
After declaring Horus as Imperial Warmaster and the new supreme commander of the Great Crusade, the Emperor to the shock of those assembled announced his own intention to return to Terra to pursue a secret project intended to benefit all Mankind. He would not say more, and his announcement immediately drew great concern among the Primarchs -- and not a little bit of resentment. It was this resentment, combined with each Primarchs' own flaws and hidden jealousies, that the Chaos Gods would use to worm their way into the hearts of nine of their number, turning them in time against the Emperor and unleashing a civil war that would scar the galaxy for millennia.
The Triumph of Ullanor represented the high point of the Emperor's dream to reunite Mankind -- and also the beginning of its end. Following victory in the Ullanor Crusade, the Imperium believed that the Ork race had been forever broken and would never again present a credible threat to humanity.
Though scattered groups of Orks would periodically attack the Imperial frontier, they were regarded as little more than troublesome pests for over a thousand years following the end of the Horus Heresy. This complacency would be shown for the arrogance it was when the War of the Beast brought the Orks to Terra itself and decimated the Imperium's entire military when that conflict began in The great Ork Warlord known as The Beast would establish his new Ork empire on Ullanor Prime once more, creating the most technologically and culturally sophisticated Greenskin civilisation ever encountered in the galaxy before or since.
The Triumph of Ullanor resembles the great triumph Julius Caesar held in Rome following his successful consolidation of power in 49 B.
Like Caesar's triumph, the Triumph of Ullanor represented the peak of the Emperor's power and glory shortly before the catastrophe of the Horus Heresy beset his empire and destroyed his vision of a better future for Mankind. Warhammer 40k Wiki Explore. Imperium of Man.

The Emperor accepted the challenge. He then teleported to the Vengeful Spirit , accompanied by the Primarchs Dorn and Sanguinius, several companies of their Astartes, and his own personal guard, the powerful Custodes. The Emperor and Sanguinius confronted Horus, who first struck down Sanguinius before taking on the Emperor himself. The Emperor won the battle—but not before being mortally wounded by Horus. He then gathered all his psychic power and erased Horus from existence, body, soul, and spirit.
He then returned to the palace. At the same time, they made hasty modifications to the Throne, giving it life-support capabilities. The Emperor, knowing he would never be able to leave the Throne again, gave orders to the survivors on how to cleanse the last of the traitors from the galaxy.
He then fell silent, pouring his power into two tasks. First, he devotes the greater share of his power to protecting the webway portal from Chaos; and second, he maintains the Astronomican, the great psychic beacon that serves as a lighthouse to guide ships through the Warp.
He would remain on the Throne for the next ten millennia, his body slowly growing weaker and decaying while still alive, dependent on the failing machinery to survive. His spirit remains strong, but he rarely speaks, leaving the Imperium to his underlings. Nearly all the remaining Primarchs are lost to the Imperium today. Many are dead; of those that survive, some are devoted to Chaos and continue to prosecute its wars. The legions themselves were mostly disbanded and reorganized after the Heresy, in what has become known as the Second Founding.
To ensure that no great force of Astartes could ever be corrupted at once again, they were redistributed into small chapters of no more than a thousand Marines each. Each chapter now functions as a smaller legion, waging its own wars and carrying on the legacy of its parent legion as it deems fit. Few, if any, maintain the pure geneseed legacy of their parent legions, with most having some sort of flaw or defect endemic to their chapter.
The Imperium is ruled by the Lords of Terra, and policed by the Inquisition. The Imperium has become a dark and grim place, populated by trillions living in suffering. The people worship the Emperor as their god; the Imperial Truth is all but forgotten.
The Adeptus Mechanicus maintains the Golden Throne, while the Adeptus Custodes watch over the decaying Emperor and attempt to carry out his will. And the Throne is failing. Soon the Emperor will die; and whether the Imperium can survive, no one knows.

The great mass of the xenos had threatened to break open the new bonds forged by the Great Crusade, and so a cohort of warriors from across the noble Legions came together to shatter this threat before it could spread beyond the sector, where the green tide rose with each passing day. Even as his father, the Emperor, led the common soldiery and phalanxes of Titan battle walkers across Ullanor Majoris, it was Horus who struck the killing blow.
The victory was sealed in blood and iron, and the call to Triumph was sounded. It would be a site of glory and spectacle to cement not only this single conquest over the forces ranged against humandkind, but a greater symbol of the Crusade itself.
It had pushed back the night, reformed old links between civilizations, battled alien threats - and with regret, it had often given punishment. A change was coming, though, a change that found fulcrum on Ullanor.
None who walked upon that world knew that the echo of the Triumph would sound for decades, for centuries, for millennia. Orkish dead were buried in their millions with their savage ruins, interred beneath transplanted rocks and the heads of crushed mountains.
