In 400.[[M32]], Perturabo emerged once more to wreak havoc. Invoking [[Nurgle]], Perturabo imbues a curse with extreme contagiousness and releases it into the mechanical systems on the [[Forge World]] of [[Toil]]. The Chaos plague spreads through the machines, and factory complexes change over the course of eight days. On the eighth day, giant cables burst from the ground spewing fourth hungry [[Daemon Engine]]s while the factories themselves grow legs and prowl the planets surface. All life on Toil is eventually annihilated.{{Fn|6}} In early [[M39]], Perturabo aided [[Abaddon the Despoiler]] in the [[10th Black Crusade]] by opening a [[Warp Portal]] for the [[Black Legion]].{{Fn|8}}
Perturabo spent much of the subsequent millennia studying the defenses of [[Segmentum Obscurus]] and establishing a network of techno-[[Cultist]] informants. After the [[13th Black Crusade]] and formation of the [[Great Rift]], Perutrabo unleashed a thousand armies and coordinated them in a grand strategy against the most heavily defended worlds in Obscurus.{{Fn|11}}After the formation of the [[Great Rift]], he appeared to fight his brother [[Mortarion]] in the [[War of Rust and Ruin]].
