The Sixth Black Crusade, or Drecarth's Folly, was one of the Black Crusades of Abaddon the Despoiler[1], taking place in 901.M36.[1]
Overview
During the Crusade, Abaddon conspired to eliminate rival fellow former Sons of Horus warband leader Drecarth the Sightless. Forging an alliance with Drecarth and his Sons of the Eye, the Chaos forces assaulted the Forge World of Arkreath. During the battle, the Adeptus Mechanicus defenders were crushed and their ziggurats reduced to a point where they could no longer function as sophisticated flux-cages[3]. However, at the end of the battle, while they were celebrating their victory, Abaddon betrayed Drecarth and impaled him on his Power Claw. After the death of their leader, the Sons of the Eye joined the Black Legion.[1]
