[[Image:MagnusVsVulkan.jpg|thumb|right|230px|Vulkan battles Magnus inside the Webway during the [[Siege of Terra]]{{Fn|20d}}]]
====Siege of Terra====
Keeping his existence a secret save for a select few during the [[Siege of Terra]], Vulkan next saw action when [[Magnus the Red]] and a group of his [[Thousand Sons]] infiltrated the [[Imperial Dungeon]] to kill the Emperor. Vulkan blocked a lethal blow by Magnus' staff that had been intended for the Emperor's form upon the Golden Throne{{Fn|1919a}}, but quickly backed down and alongside their father bid Magnus to return to the Imperial's fold. Vulkan became disheratened when Magnus refused the offer to return to the loyalists after the Emperor told him that he would have to purge his [[Legion]] due to its rampant mutations. Vulkan himself admitted he would have made the same choice as Magnus, but nonetheless again defended the Emperor against the Crimson King's assault. Vulkan and Magnus then engaged in a furious duel, but was saved from a decapitating piercing blow thanks to the sacrifice of [[Igen GargoBarek Zytos]]. Horrified by his sons death and taking up his [[Thunder Hammer]], Vulkan wielded twin hammers to seemingly beat Magnus to submission. However before a visibly despairing Vulkan could deliver the final blow Magnus fully gave himself to the powers of [[Chaos]] and vanished from the Throneroom.{{Fn|19a19b}}
With Magnus now inside the [[Webway Project|Imperial Webway]] and enacting a psychic ritual to sap the Emperor's remaining strength, Vulkan was dispatched by Malcador to put an end to his brother as the Eternity Gate itself was besieged. As he moved through the Webway he ignored Magnus' lies and goadings along the way{{Fn|20a}}. After journeying to the Impossible City to the Webway, Vulkan finally came before Magnus. Again ignoring his brothers manipulations including a vision of the [[Burning of Prospero]], the two came to blows.{{Fn|20b}}
