During their conservation, Valdor expressed disdain at the [[Space Wolves]] use of [[Rune Priest]]s, considering them no different from normal [[Librarian]]s which were now banned due to the [[Council of Nikaea]].{{Fn|9}} Valdor next appeared as the [[Solar War]] began, meeting with Rogal Dorn alongside [[Sanguinius]], [[Jaghatai Khan]], Malcador, and Dorn's command staff.{{Fn|11}}
Valdor fought in defence of Mankind's homeworld during the [[Siege of Terra]]. During the Siege, he deployed [[Amon Tauromachian]] to investigate apparent [[Daemonic]] activity in the [[Imperial Palace]].

Later during the battle loyalist marines who witnessed the Captain-General in combat, saw him reave through traitor marines as easily as they would against ordinary humans and weaker xenos. After the Siege of Terra, Valdor met with the newly arrived Leman Russ. While Russ was distraught and pessimistic of what had befallen the Imperium and Emperor, Valdor expressed confidence that the Master of Mankind had foreseen all that had transpired and planned accordingly. Secretly however, Valdor is unsure if this is true.{{Fn|10}}
