Duel at Lion’s Gate Spaceport

This action at the Lion’s Gate spaceport is distinct from the earlier assault by the Sons of Horus. During the Siege of Terra, in 014.M31, after Perturabo withdrew, Horus gave Mortarion command of the spaceport. Jaghatai Khan counter-attacked with White Scars and Imperial Army forces. Khan was badly wounded and impaled on Mortarion’s scythe. Khan nonetheless decapitated Mortarion, who was banished into the warp. Khan’s body was recovered afterwards. The duel was fought at the Lion’s Gate spaceport on Terra during the Siege of Terra in 014.M31, after Perturabo withdrew, when Horus gave Mortarion command of the spaceport.
