Awesome / When In Doubt, Blame the Eldar

• From Chapter 5: Humongous Mecha vs Bloodthirster! Black's mech ends up being ''soundly'' defeated.
  • Which is followed by Black managing to convince said Bloodthrister to turn on Eliphas's army. With words alone!
• Chapters 11 and 12: Black and General Lucas Alexander team up to save Kaurava from Exterminatus by the Blood Ravens. By the end of the battle, Black has control of the Litany of Fury and Kyras is somewhere in the Warp.
  • Lucas becomes infamous throughout the Imperium for being a person who boarded a Battle Barge with a Baneblade.
  • Ozman screwing with the onboard teleporter, sending enemy Terminators into places they really don't belong. Also crosses over with Funny.
    "And done. I put them in the barrels of the starboard macro-cannons, which should fire any second now..." As if on cue, the guns fired. This time, however, a series of massive explosions that [sic] shook the entire vessel. The cannons' ammunition must have detonated while still inside the barrel. Probably due to a collision with suits of comically misplaced Terminator armor. "Filthy mutant, they said. You're lucky they're letting you live, they said. How could your witchcraft stand up to a mighty bolter, they said. WELL, THIS IS HOW!" Then, realizing he was not alone, Ozman cleared his throat. "Ahem. Sorry, general."
  • During the fight with Kyras, Alexander grabs the nearest weapon and (with Black's assistance) uses it to knock Kyras into a Warp rift. The weapon in question was a Space Marine's thunder hammer. Keep in mind that the general is a baseline human, and that he should've had trouble lifting the thing in the first place, never mind swinging it with that much force.
• Orkanis's debut: Fighting the Nightbringer (or at least a shard of the C'tan). He wins.
• When we first see him, Thomas has managed to kill eight crazed zealots with a stubber (all headshots) in defense of his mother (even if Black mistakenly attributes the kills to said mother) and jury-rig a working defibrillator from random electronics.
• Thomas has one in his interlude (Chapter 27), when he gets an impressive burn in on the Emperor.
• From Chapter 29: Jaegar Mk II vs Living Saint. Unlike the last time Black fought a demonic being, this is an even fight. He manages to beat the Saint to pulp before it finally overpowers his Jaeger, which he counters with a Taking You with Me.
