40K Lore Question

Post by WillDexter »

Chalk iy up to failing memory, but do the events in High Lord Of Terra(Gogh Vandyre's power frab) take place before or after the Gothic War?

If the Gothic War is the same one played in Battlefleet Gothic, then Goge Vandire's Reign of Blood (I think that's what it's called) is long before that - Vandire was, IIRC, M36 or so, whereas the Gothic War is solidly in M41.
Baltar: "I don't want to miss a moment of the last Battlestar's destruction!"
Centurion: "Sir, I really think you should look at the other Battlestar."
Baltar: "What are you babbling about other...it's impossible!"
Centurion: "No. It is a Battlestar."

Yeah I've not heard of another Gothic War at least so yeah the Reign of Blood would have been Millennia before the Gothic War.

Cool. Thanks, bud. Yeah, the Gothic War/12th Black Crusade is the same as from BFG:Armada, in the 1second cenrury of M41.

This helps greatly in establishing the alternate history for my fiction.

That's what I wanted to know. Thanks.

No worries, glad to be of help.
