He was later among the [[Greater Daemons]] summoned into [[Realspace]] by the [[Thousand Sons]], during the [[Battle for Terra]]{{Fn|9a}}. After the [[Lion's Gate Spaceport]] fell to the [[Traitor]]s, the Daemons were unleashed to destroy the [[Imperial Palace]]'s [[Colossi Gate]]{{Fn|9b}}. While they succeeded in tearing down the Gate's outer defenses, the Daemons were destroyed by the [[White Scars]]' [[Stormseers]] and the [[Adeptus Custodes]], before they could complete their task.{{Fn|9c}}
The Daemon would return to plague the [[Blood Angels]] during the [[Battle of Terra]], where he yet again challenged [[Sanguinius]] to battle. During their duel, Ka'Bandha attacked the [[Primarch]] when his back was turned, and the Daemon quickly cast Sanguinius to the ground. But, unlike Signus Prime, this time Sanguinius rose to his feet once again, and calling upon the last of his strength, hefted the Daemon by the neck. The Primarch then raised Ka-Bandha above his head, and with a last display of might, broke the Bloodthirster's back over his knee. Afterwards the Primarch hurled the [[Greater Daemon]] back into the [[Heretic]] army and finally retreated back to the safety beyond the walls of the [[Eternity Gate (Imperial)|Eternity Gate]].{{Fn|1b}}
===Post-Heresy===
The first Grey Knight to defeat Ka'Bandha was Brother-Captain [[Solor]]. To this day, Solor's bones have great sway over the Daemon. With the use of a sharpened femur the Grey Knights and Blood Angels were able to defeat Ka'Bandha in 944.M41.{{Fn|3}}
In 944.[[M41]] the [[Grey Knight]]'s prognosticars predicted that Ka’Bandha would shortlyreturn to the mortal world. Knowing Ka'Bandha to be a dangerous foe, and moreover onewho had earned the bitter enmity of the Blood Angels, the Grey Knights brought this news tothe attention of [[Commander Dante]] and proposed a joint strike. A combined strike force of Blood Angels and Grey Knights assailed Ka'Bandha's fortress on the [[Daemon world]] of [[Kalagazaar]]. Ka'Bandha was banished, the Daemon armies were destroyed and Kalagazaar itself subjected to [[Exterminatus]]. At the campaign's end, the surviving Blood Angels had their memories wiped - a price Dante agreed with the Grey Knights at the mission's start.{{Fn|3}}
In 999.M41, Ka'Bandha returned from the darkness of the Warp with a Daemon army at his command, his first blow striking against [[Ammonai]], the outermost planet of the [[Baal]] system.{{Fn|2a}} He later engaged the Blood Angels in the [[Battle of Khartas]].{{Fn|2c}} He next appeared during Khorne's [[Blood Crusade]].{{Fn|6}}
