10 Warhammer 40k Stories That Would Make INCREDIBLE Movies
5. Betrayal At Calth
The Battle of Calth is a very personal story, despite the fact that it's fought between thousands of people. The Word Bearers, led by their Primarch Lorgar, launched a traitorous assault against their former allied, the Ultramarines, and Calth is where it started
The arch-traitor and Warmaster Horus had ordered the Ultramarines and Word Bearers to Calth in order to prepare for a supposed action against Orks. The truth was that a galaxy shattering betrayal was about to take place. It was Horus' hope that the massive strength of the Ultramarines would be so hindered at Calth that they would either not reach Terra for the eventual assault, or be of no use once they got there.
Once First Chaplain Erebus of the Word Bearers sent the signal the conflict that would set off millennia of war that would tear the galaxy apart would begin. Brother against brother in the bitterest of battles. Movies have been made following this line for years, let's get a 40k one made!
