Warhammer: What Did You Do to My Mom?

In the age of the Great Crusade, the Emperor did not set out across the stars alone.

He brought his wife, Oliana, and together they crossed battlefields, ruins, and Warp Storms, bringing their lost children home one by one.

Horus learned for the first time that you did not need to win to come home.

Angron was held for the first time amid the screams of the Butcher's Nails.

Mortarion believed for the first time that death was not his name.

Guilliman admitted for the first time that some kinds of love could not be calculated.

Dinners aboard the flagship, burnt cakes, and off-key lullabies became the warmest memories of every primarch's life.

Until the day the Four Gods joined forces and erased her from the galaxy.

A mother's final words rang through the souls of all her children:

“My children, Mom will always love you.”

And so the galaxy went mad.

Horus tore apart the agents of Chaos, disfigured himself, and launched an extermination crusade against the Eye of Terror.

Guilliman took his place on the Brass Throne, using the logic of war to remake the very nature of slaughter.

Angron charged into the Warp with the Butcher's Nails still embedded in him, determined to shatter pain itself.

Magnus searched through forbidden lore and dreams, seeking even a fragment of his mother's soul.

The Necrons regained their heartbeats, the Eldar opened the Webway, and ordinary people stood guard before shattered statues until the last of them fell.

They no longer fought for the Imperium.

They fought for their mother.

If Mom was gone, then let the galaxy burn.

If their home was stolen, then let the stars boil.

The Four Gods thought they had killed a woman.

But what they awakened was the thousand years of suppressed tears, fury, and vengeance of twenty children.

This time, the galaxy would ask neither about loyalty nor race, neither about life nor death.

Everyone their mother had ever loved would raise their blades against the Warp.

“Give our mom back.”
