→If Dorn Died during or after M36
*Dorn was convinced the Imperial Navy had failed to see the threat until it was too late; among the crusades 5-9 in which Abbadon's forces were reputably unpredictable are the [[7th Black Crusade|7th]] and [[8th Black Crusade|8th]]; the other three were reasonably focused on planets and sectors not involving [[Cadia]] or the [[Cadian Gate]] at all.
*The [[8th Black Crusade]] occurred in [[M37]], and was the one in which [[Abbadon]] specifically sought (and acquired) Tzeentch's favor, and it involved the murder of highly specific targets in highly specific ways.{{fn|50}}
*The [[7th Black Crusade]] occured in [[M37]] and was specifically about recovering [[gene-seed]], culminating in Abbadon and [[Fabius Bile|Bile]] making new marines from [[Blood Angels]] gene-seed. This should be weighed against the notion of whether or not they had the corpse of [[Rogal Dorn]] or even the longer dead [[Ferus Ferrus Manus]].
Speculatively, then, going by a death post M36 a very plausible Black Crusade in which Dorn died was the [[8th Black Crusade]], circa 999.[[M37]], ''if it was one of Abbadon's Black Crusades''.
