For wondering, the story is from the book "Fire Caste" by Peter Fehervari, I've heard it's quite good,

A good read that I enjoyed, heavy vibes of Apocalypse Now and similar stories that portray the everyday insanity of war. Felt quite grounded, not the usual OTT 40k - mainly IG and Tau grunts going mad fighting on a cesspit planet.

Little known fact, that's actually the reason why Malal has been retconned into nonexistence. Khorne got super pissed about the Sons of Malice because wanton destruction is basically his thing, so he stormed GW's office and Henry Cavil himself to complain about it. Not wanting to be turned into red smears on the floor, they acquiesced to his demands.

Well, isn't canon that the Emperor one time went into the warp and over an unknown amount of years/centuries/millennia (warp shenanigans) took power that was meant to go to the Chaos gods for himself? And they hate him because he is basically infringing on their collective claim on all of humanity's souls?

@torinnbalasar6774 The whole planet was some sort of warp nexus, there has been multiple stories on it where strange fuckery is going on. For example at one point a genestealer infected Tau and a machine spirit controlled iron hand team up to destroy a mutated tyranid spore nidus in a xeno temple on said planet. Not to mention a closed time loop between a commissar and the arkan confederate guard unit deployed to the planet. Truly this planet is ripe for a table top adventure book or two.

Fun Facts - a fair number of this regiment had power armor. IIRC a few dozen in total. For a guard regiment that's pretty remarkable. Their types could have either inbuilt buzzsaws or drills as weapons. - The Shas'Ui in this battle was a recently promoted Tau Pathfinder who had refused promotion multiple times and had never piloted a crisis suit before. My favourite scene in the entire book is a guard sentinel squad leader watching this advanced alien killing machine land in front of him flanked by two equally heavily armed bodyguards and his only reaction is "Wow. You DO NOT know how to drive that." - the guardsman mentioned in this post was a religious lunatic even by the standards of the Imperium. Specifically the "murder your superiors in broad daylight when they call you out on your behavior but it's fine 'cause I'm God's favourite"-type. Also *SPOILER* He didn't die in the initial explosion. He died when his armour's jetpack exploded when he tried to do percussive maintenace on it.
