Editing Lambach Kropor (section)

==The Great Crusade==
During the Great Crusade Lambach would often leave management of the 414<sup>th</sup> fleet to his First Captain and friend Radcliff Kaden in order to make visits to his brothers' legions and help to install the Librarian program he, Bishop and Pacha had set up throughout the Legions. While Kropor was generally well liked by most of his brothers for his amicable disposition there were those among the brotherhood who considered Lambach to be ill-fit to lead a legion or indeed mankind at all, though in truth Lambach was more than competent he simply had no desire for such things in the long term.

Lambach had extremely close bonds with Linares of the Silver Blades, whom he began his time in the crusades fighting alongside. Raj Vokar of the Titan Marchers was the brother most in tune with Lambach's own character. Je'she of the Sentinels was respected more than any other for the Warmaster's skill in warfare and desire to make it obsolete. Pacha of the Golden Mountains as the two shared in humble beginnings and love for their people. Elsu of the Soaring Host who would greatly appreciate Lambach's acceptance of his mutations in an Imperium that saw him as an outcast and Gyhadred of the Dusk Phantoms who would share with Lambach his Legions dark secret and would gift Lambach with his favored weapon, the Venus Gospel.

Lambach's relationship with his brother Ashur of the Loxodontii was another story entirely. While on the surface the two brothers should seemingly have been the closest of friends their varying opinions of the use of Psykers within the Legions drove a wedge  between them and open hostilities would often boil beneath the surface of any encounter the pair had. 

Lambach's firm belief that knowledge and experience should be retained at all costs combined with the fact that the freshly renamed Chosen of Hecate legion's numbers were at an all time low meant Lambach became obsessed with preserving his sons as best he could. To this end Lambach became incredibly interested in the Dreadnought relics the Imperium had to offer. The Emperor granted his request and by the time the Chosen of Hecate had regained sufficient strength to once again stand alone as a Legion they were able to field a great deal more of the Dreadnought veterans than any other Legion. Kropor's obsession with these relics lead to his brothers jokingly bestowing on him the title Master of Undeath. 

Lambach, believing that psykers were the way of the future, would time and again go out of his way to recruit promising individuals into the legion, making sure they were well trained and versed in their arts as he knew the dangers inherent in an untrained mind. Lambach and his Chosen would often be deployed against civilizations that relied heavily on the use of the warp-touched and would go to great lengths to preserve what they could of such cultures, always trying first to integrate these societies rather than simply tear them down. Several of his brothers saw this as a weakness for varying reasons and it was exactly this difference of opinions that lead to the animosity between Lambach and his brother Ashur. When the two first met Lambach was overjoyed for he had found a brother who would share in his own less warlike interests. However at the conclusion of their first joint operation Lambach made use of his legion's warp talents to try and subdue the occupants of the capital city; recognizing immediately the potential of the world's populace Lambach wished integrate them into the Imperium. Ashur himself was mortified that his brother was a psyker; he saw such things as evil witchcraft and the XIII legion would tear down and destroy the psychic where ever he was to be found. The Primarchs narrowly avoided coming to blows, but a rift was torn between the two brothers.

For Lambach the Great Crusade was a glorious time, his vision of the future for mankind was certain to come to fruition. All of this changed with the Council of Nikea. With the Emperors decree all Lambach thought he knew crumbled. For the Chosen of Hecate the golden age of the Great Crusade died that day. Originally the Chosen complied with the Emperors orders; to Lambach's sorrow he ordered all of his psykers into a specialized chapter known as the Speartip, effectively a suicide chapter that would be deployed as the first wave on any new planet the Chosen of Hecate fought on. The Primarch would have his favored sons die as heroes of the Imperium rather than force them to live the rest of their days as blind, deaf men. Gone were the days of integration; Lambach and his Chosen thrust deep into uncharted space, annihilating civilizations with the same ferocity that the Death's Heads or Iron Guard were famous for. Each member lost of the Spear Tip chipping away at Lambach's once cheerful personality, until finally with the Death of Radcliff Kaden the Primarch of the Chosen of Hecate could suffer no more unnecessary losses.
