Lin En survived the Chaos cultists with the help of Cecilia and Herix Ironhammer, then joined them to fight their way toward an escape from Istvaan III. After escaping the cultists’ cave and ambushing Greenskins at the exit, Lin En received another card draw for reaching one hundred kills.
Lin En survived alone on Istvaan III until Cecilia and Iron Hammer returned with Tyrennius, a Blood Angels Astartes, and the group discovered a Chaos ritual opening a Warp Rift. Tyrennius died defeating a Khorne Vanguard, but Blood Angels reinforcements arrived as Cecilia, Lin En, and Iron Hammer prepared to face the advancing daemons.
After Tyrennius’s death, Lin En, Cecilia, and Iron Hammer enlisted in the Baal Guard and deployed to Mezoa, where Lin En’s powers helped the 0825th Regiment defeat the Orks. The regiment then redeployed to Pollia, where Lin En found a far larger Greenskin invasion and Imperial reinforcements gathering.
Lin En revealed his healing power on Pollia, drawing the attention of the Inquisition and Ultramarines before Guilliman’s order transferred him to the Ultramarines. After surviving Captain Autolo’s betrayal and joining the Third Company as a Chaplain, Lin En reached Macragge as the Behemoth Hive Fleet began its assault.
Lin En used his powers over healing and machine spirits to help the Ultramarines repel Behemoth on Macragge and destroy the Tyranid fleet threatening Velydia. The arc ended with Macragge and Velydia secure, and Lin En promoted to lieutenant.
Lin En helped the Ultramarines defeat Kabanha’s daemon army and supported Guilliman in their duel, but a Lord of Change struck him down before escaping. Lin En recovered on Macragge, gained the Eye of True Sight, and went outside with Kaeles as his soul continued to heal.
After recovering from his wounds, Lin En returned to the Ultramarines and received the title Guardian of Ultramar before joining the campaign to destroy Biel-Tan. He and Fabian vanished into the Warp during the assault, where they faced Word Bearers led by Dark Apostle Aekrion.
After Lin En and Fabian defeated the Word Bearers, a black hole carried them back to Macragge, where Guilliman summoned Lin En to Terra. Lin En crossed the Solar System with Calgar and reached the Silver Gate, where Guilliman led him toward the Emperor’s Sanctuary.
Lin En met the Emperor, gained Psychic Paradox, and secured aid for the Blood Angels Successors before rescuing the Lamenters from imprisonment on Sagan II. As the Lamenters mourned their dead, the Inquisition and Grey Knights arrived to carry out the High Lords’ sentence, and Lin En prepared to expose their disguise.
Lin En secured the Lamenters and Mantis Warriors’ release from immediate purges and led the Lamenters into the Great Rift. After they reclaimed a corrupted Forge World, Magnus arrived, and Lin En prepared to hold him off until Lion El’Jonson could reach them.
Lin En helped Lion defeat Magnus, brought Bolomite back from the Warp, and secured the Lamenters’ pardon and a new homeworld. As they began rebuilding, Lin En learned that Leviathan would attack Baal and set out to warn the Blood Angels and rally reinforcements.
Lin En brought the Lamenters to Baal, then led the Blood Angels’ successor Chapters and the Ultramarines in stopping Leviathan before it reached the planet. After the victory and a celebration on Baal, Lin En learned that Cretacia had gone silent and redirected the three Chapters there.
Lin En survived a Necron Deceiver Shard’s layered illusions with Dante’s help, then led the fleet to evacuate Cretacia’s refugees to Bolomite. When Orks enslaved millions of civilians on Slaughterhouse III, Lin En sent three Chapters to rescue them and secretly followed, leaving the arc with the first captives freed.
Lin En helped the Astartes rescue millions of civilians, then seized a fertile world for the Blood Knights and named it Echo Star. When he led a fleet into the Maelstrom to save three besieged Chapters, Mortarion emerged from the green fog before them.
Lin En rescued the Death Guard’s besieged allies, helped drive Angron from Macragge, and returned to Bolomite as Hive Fleet Kraken approached. He led the Lamenters into battle, broke the Tyranid vanguard with psychic power, and prepared expendable ships while keeping his crewed warships back.
Lin En seized control of the Kraken remnant fleet and registered its Bio-ships as the Purple Carapace Chapter, prompting the Inquisition to investigate. After Valens inspected Lin En and Bolomite, Lin En led the Tyranid force toward the Ork-held planet Isman to feed the starving swarm.
Lin En led the Purple Carapace Chapter through campaigns against the Imperium’s enemies, then diverted to Paradis III to rescue survivors trapped by the Necrons’ Pariah Nexus. He freed the survivors from the Nexus’s influence and led them into the tomb, where Zeras’s forces opened fire as Lin En called him out.
Lin En dismantled the Necron Blackstone network, then brought his forces to Terra to face Abaddon’s invasion. He took command of the eastern defenses and turned back the Chaos fleet’s advance, while Dante and the loyalist Space Marines fought Abaddon aboard the Spear of Terra.
No recap yet. An arc gets one once it has 25 chapters.
