Upon arrival in Signus, the [[Blood Angels]] were immediately beset by daemonic forces and the raw power of the [[warp]]. Many of the non-[[space marine]] crew went mad from exposure, and the Blood Angels were forced to detain them. In the midst of this, Kyriss the Perverse sent an image of itself directly into the chamber of [[Sanguinius]], daring the [[Primarch]] to attack. The Lord of the [[Blood Angels]] rose to the challenge, and unleashed the fury of his [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] upon '''Signus Prime''', personally leading his elite companies in an assault on Kyriss's palace. It was there that noble [[Sanguinius]] face [[Ka'Bandha]], [[Bloodthirster]] of [[Khorne]]. ==Angel's Fall== As [[Sanguinius]] and his forces neared the palace of Kyriss the Perverse, a massive [[daemon]] the colour of dried blood rose to meet him. Its name was Ka'Bandha, [[Greater Daemon]] of [[Khorne]]. Ka'Bandha attemped to coerce Sanguinius to the cause of Khorne, but the Lord of the [[Blood Angels]] could not be swayed, and attacked the [[Bloodthirster]]. He dealt the [[daemon]] a vicious wound, but was in turn cast to the ground, his legs crushed by the coils of the beast's whip. As he watched, helpless, Ka'Bandha slaughtered his way through the [[Blood Angels]], killing over 500 of them. The massive psychic trauma knocked [[Sanguinius]] into unconsciousness, and unlocked something dark within the members of his Legion. =Uncited=Angel's Fury=={{Uncited}}With the fall of their Lord and the butchering of their brethren, the *[[Blood Angels]] were consumed by a dark rage that drove them into the [[daemon|daemonic]] horde with a berserker's furyhttp://www.

'''Signus Prime''' was the main planet of the [[Signus Cluster]], a trinary star system of seven [[Hive World]]s and fifteen moons.
==History==
Once a major industrial center, the System of Signus fell prey to the agents of [[Chaos]] during the dark days of the [[Horus Heresy]]. It became a [[Realm of Chaos]], a system of [[Daemon World]]s, under the rule of [[Kyriss the Perverse]], [[Greater Daemon]] of [[Slaanesh]]. Kyriss raised for itself a vast palace on Signus Prime, the [[Cathedral of the Mark]], and its [[daemon]]ic horde rampaged across the system, utterly destroying hundreds of years of civilization and annihilating several planets. The entire populace was either butchered, enslaved, or corrupted, and all hope fled its inhabitants. Deliverance came, ironically, in the form of [[Sanguinius]] and the [[Blood Angels]] [[Space Marine Legion]], sent by the [[Warmaster]] [[Horus]] to what was supposed to be their doom.{{Fn|1a}}
