===Cadian 412th Shock Troops===
The Lorn V mission objective was to retrieve a long-lost [[Imperator_Battle_Titan|Imperator-class Titan]], the ''Dominatus''. Upon making planetfall, Sturnn was met by [[Eldar]] of the [[Ulthwe]] [[Craftworld]] and was forced to aid them, housing them in his base while he held off the [[Ork]] [[Waaagh]]! that attacked full force. Shortly after the battle, [[Farseer]] [[Taldeer]] told him of the [[Necrons]], and that they would appear where the Titan had fallen.
Sturnn next recieved a communication from an [[Ultramarines]] [[Chaplain]], [[Varnus]], who had apparently been shot down deep in [[Chaos]]-infested territory. He reported that he was transporting crewmen for the Titan and required support. The Cadian 412th fought their way to his position, linked up with the Ultramarine force and ran the gauntlet of enemy forces between them and the Titan. However, they were beaten to the Titan by the Eldar.
Shortly after reaching the Titan, Taldeer and her forces set up a 'Soul Stone', a weapon apparently capable of annihilating the emergent Necrons. However, the Necrons arrived in numbers greater than expected and the Soul Stone was unable to eliminate them all. The only hope was for Taldeer to use her [[Bonesinger]]s to encase the Titan's [[Machine Spirit]] in [[Wraithbone]], so that it would be denied to the Necrons. With the aid of six [[Kasrkin]] squads sent forward by General Sturnn, the Necrons were eventually defeated, but with the loss of the Titan.<sup>18</sup>
;Variations
The Imperial Guard of the Cadian 412th do not use standard [[Command Squads]]. Instead, they use command squads filled with [[Commissars]], [[priests]] and [[Sanctioned Psyker|sanctioned psykers]]. They also have access to [[Ogryns]] and [[Baneblade]] Super-Heavy Tanks.<sup>18</sup>
;Conflicts
In the book by [[C.S. Goto]], [[Tempest (Novel)|Dawn of War: Tempest]], General Sturnn reached the Titan first. He was visited by [[Marines]] from the [[Blood Ravens]] [[Chapter]], who arrived in the company of Farseer Taldeer. Their goal was to activate the dormant Eldar [[Webway]] gate underneath the Titan. It also transpires that the Ultramarines who had come from orbit were actually [[Alpha Legion]] [[Chaos Space Marines]] in disguise.<sup>19</sup>
