'''Armandus''' is a [[Hawk Lords]] [[Stormtalon]] pilot, in [[Indomitus Crusade Fleet Quartus]]'s [[Battle Group Jovia]] and is among its forces that have been corrupted by [[Khorne]]'s [[Murder-Curse]].{{Fn|1}}
==History==
During the [[Indomitus Crusade]], he served in a [[Stormtalon]] squadron with his [[Hawk Lords]] [[Battle Brother]]s [[Uradus]], [[Voldwyn]] and [[Korr]] as part of [[Battle Group Jovia|Jovia]]'s '''Task Force IX'''. It was sent by the Battle Group to reclaim the [[Imperium Sanctus]] world [[Garvetha Primus]] and its [[system]] from [[Heretics]]. The Task Force invaded the world and soon only needed to conquer the city of '''Deng-Var''', to make Garvetha Primus' the [[Imperium]]'s once more. This would then allow the world's system to be opened up for further invasions. However it was as they were fighting to take back the city, that the [[Daemon Primarch]] [[Angron]] destroyed the [[Choral Engine]] on the [[Imperium Nihilus]] world [[Malakbael]], which the majority of [[Indomitus Crusade Fleet Quartus|Fleet Quartus]]' forces had been defending. The [[psychic]] beacon's subsequent explosion, then unleashed [[Khorne]]'s [[Murder-Curse]] [[Warp]] plague, within Malakbael's [[Malak System|system]]. However due to its Battle Groups sharing psychic channels with each other, the Murder-Curse was able to spread to them all, no matter where they were located within the [[Galaxy]].{{Fn|1}}
Because of this, the [[Warp]] plague soon reached '''Task Force IX''' and those who were infected by it, immediately became servants of the [[Khorne|Blood God]]. Now filled with murderous bloodlust and rage, they fell upon anyone that was near them, including their former allies. While Armandus, [[Voldwyn]] and [[Korr]] all fell victim to it, [[Uradus]] was able to resist the [[Murder-Curse]]. The three infected pilots could somehow sense this though and within moments, Uradus' corrupted [[Battle Brother]]s shot him out of the sky. Armandus and Korr then instinctively formed up upon Voldwyn and formed a pack, as they their pack began firing indiscriminately upon on those fighting beneath them. Korr would be shot down shortly afterwards, but the other two pilots continue to kill in Khorne's name.{{Fn|1}}
