History
During the Great Crusade, they were known as the Silver Scythes and were commanded by Grand Master Marnic Bubon. When the Horus Heresy began, the Scythes were located in the rim of Imperial space and were far from the fighting that took place. However, the Titan Legion quickly succumbed to the lure of the Chaos God Nurgle and became the Festering Death. They then joined the traitorous Warmaster's forces and would win their new master's favour by spreading famine, pestilence and ancient plagues to the worlds of the Imperial rim. This favour later led Bubon to become the Daemon Prince Bubonis, but disaster struck when Warmaster Horus was killed. With his death, the Festering Death joined the Warmaster's forces that fled to the Eye of Terror. Bubonis now waits there, for the opportunity to seek his revenge against the Imperium.[1]
Known Titans
- Bubonis - Daemon Prince commander, who is merged with the Warlord Titan he used during the Horus Heresy.[1]
