Changes

He was later among the [[Greater Daemon]]s 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 defensesdefences, the Daemons were destroyed by the [[White Scars]]' [[Stormseers]] and the [[Adeptus Custodes]], before they could complete their task.{{Fn|9c}}

Ka'Bandha would return once more to plague the [[Blood Angels]] during the last phase of the Siege of Terra. He was the first Greater Daemon who managed to pass the [[Emperor]]'s weakened psychic shield around the [[Sanctum Imperialis]], and attacked the [[Eternity Gate (Imperial)|Eternity Gate]]. There, he attempted to complete the mission Khorne had given him: Kill 500 Blood Angels in a set time in presence of Sanguinius. After breaking through the last Imperial defenses defences in front of the Eternity Gate, thus paving the way for the last grand Traitor assault (though he did not care for their success or failure), the Greater Daemon sought out Blood Angels among the defenders and butchered them. Sanguinius intervened, and the two duelled, though Ka'Bandha constantly attempted to break away to keep killing regular Blood Angels. Eventually, however, the Primarch managed to enrage him so much that he focused on their duel.{{Fn|10}} At one point, the Daemon 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 was eventually able to break the Bloodthirster's back with the hilt of his sword. 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.{{Fn|1d}}{{Fn|10}} Ka'Bandha's broken body was then consumed by weaker Khornate Daemons; later, Ka'bandha furiously realized that he had failed the test set by Khorne.{{Fn|10}}

The first [[Grey Knight]] to defeat Ka'Bandha was [[Grey Knights Brother-Captain |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 823.[[M41]], Ka'Bandha slew [[Space Marine Captain |Captain]] [[Abel Zorael]] in the [[Battle of Khartas]]. The [[Sanguinor]] intervened to banish the Daemon, but only after 80% of the Blood Angels had perished.{{Fn|2a}}{{Fn|2c}}

In 999.M41, as the Blood Angels prepared for the main tendril of [[Hive Fleet Leviathan]] to [[Devastation of Baal|assault the Baal System]], [[Mephiston]] received portents that Ka'Bandha was preparing to assault the Chapter's home world where all the [[Chapters of the Blood]] had gathered.{{Fn|11a}} The presence of the Angel's Bane would throw the defense defence into chaos, and so Mephiston led a collection of [[Librarian]]s from various Chapters to thwart the Daemon's arrival. Though they managed to wound Ka'Bandha, they could not prevent his entry into the material realm.{{Fn|11b}} As the [[Great Rift]] tore through the Galaxy, he emerged above [[Baal Primus]], just short of his goal of Baal. Landing on the moon, he and his Daemons slaughtered Tyranids and Space Marines alike in a frenzied three-way slaughter.{{Fn|11c}} On Baal, as the Blood Angels finally defeated the last of the Tyranids, they could see Ka'Bandha's rune stretched across Baal Primus' southern hemisphere, written with the skulls of millions of Tyranid beasts. The monument was demolished from orbit by the fleets of the Blood Angel Chapters.{{Fn|11d}}

*Ka'Bandha is likely named after [[Wikipedia:Khabanda|Khabanda]], a demon from Hindu mythology.

*In the [[Codex: Blood Angels (5th Edition)|5th edition Codex: Blood AnglesAngels]], Ka'Bandha is described as striking [[Ammonai]], the outermost planet of the [[Baal System]], as Hive Fleet Leviathan descends on the system.{{Fn|2b}} However in ''[[The Devastation of Baal (Novel)|The Devastation of Baal]]'', Ka'Bandha arrives above [[Baal Primus]] in the midst of the battle.{{Fn|11c}}
