The '''Constantinium Incursion'''{{Fn|1b}} was a strike operation carried out in 008.[[M31]] during the [[Horus Heresy]], when a strike force of [[Dark Angels]], [[Iron Warriors]] and [[White Scars]] invaded the world of [[Costantinium]].{{Fn|1a}}
==History==
In mid 007.M31, Magister [[Karpath]] of Constantinium had declared the entire Viridis sector for the Warmaster and expended prodigious resources to fortify his capital, claiming that its walls would be built every bit as strong and tall as those of [[Terra]] and that no attacker would ever penetrate them.
The Magister-Militaris was made a fool and a liar when within a year a strike force of Dark Angels, White Scars and loyalists Iron Warriors from the [[14th Grand Company]] conducted a coups-de-grace operation which penetrated straight into the heart of his massively fortified palace. Ancient [[Khragan]] burned through the Magister-Militaris' twenty metre-high, two metres-thick throne room doors and used his [[Power Claw]] to choke the life from the Traitor leader at the climax of the battle, executing him at the foot of his own throne before his entire court in what could only have been intended as an incontrovertible message to all who would turn against Terra.
