Warhammer 40K Darktide Review - Left To ShredĪ young Belisarius Cawl hard at work during the Horus Heresy.Īrchmagos Dominus Belisarius Cawl has been alive since the time of the Horus Heresy, though how he managed to maintain his life over more than ten thousand Terran years is unknown. No secret is safe from his acquisitive grasp, and those who seek to keep Cawl from his prize are soon nothing but glowing ashes upon the wind. A master of the manifold binharic cants of the Lingua-technis, Cawl can reinvigorate a Machine Spirit or stop its reactor heart with but a single phrase. His many mechanical limbs terminate in glowing energy weapons, piston-claws and vicious combat armaments capable of peeling open a tank like a ration tin.Ĭlustered eyelenses glow beneath his heavy cowl, their gaze insectile and utterly remorseless as it cooly dissects his victims' every weakness. The archmagos dominus can unleash tank-busting firepower upon his foes, even as their panicked return-fire rebounds from his thrumming defensive force field. Millennia of tinkering and obsessive self-improvement have left Cawl as a grotesque, and his lumpen form towers to several times the height of a grown man. Skittering into battle on a multitude of metal legs, Belisarius Cawl is a nightmarish amalgam of flesh and machine swathed in robes of Martian red. He is currently at work seeking to discover a way to use the Necrons' blackstone Cadian Pylon technology to close the Great Rift once and for all.

He played a pivotal role in the events of the 13th Black Crusade, the Celestinian Crusade and the Terran Crusade, and shared responsibility with the Ynnari for the resurrection of Primarch Roboute Guilliman as the lord commander of the Imperium and Imperial Regent.Ĭawl was also responsible for the creation of the Primaris Space Marines, a variety of new Imperial weapons technologies and vehicles, and his help proved invaluable to the triumphant resolution of the first phase of the Indomitus Crusade to stabilise the Imperium Sanctus in the early Era Indomitus.
