| rdfs:comment | - As with much of his mysterious Legion, little can be said for certain about the origins or character of the Alpha Legion commander known as Armillus Dynat (whose name itself may be an artificial construction using mimetic factors from several different dead Terran dialects meaning approximately "The fallen prince/false prophet who destroys with power"). Pictorial references for this officer is only available thanks to the recordings of Ultramarines -- attached Remembrancers present at the Palcine War Council, where Dynat is recorded as having infamously sparred with First Captain Marius Gage over the conduct of the war after the Ultramarines' repulsed attack during the Battle of Asarna Bay.

| abstract | - As with much of his mysterious Legion, little can be said for certain about the origins or character of the Alpha Legion commander known as Armillus Dynat (whose name itself may be an artificial construction using mimetic factors from several different dead Terran dialects meaning approximately "The fallen prince/false prophet who destroys with power"). Pictorial references for this officer is only available thanks to the recordings of Ultramarines -- attached Remembrancers present at the Palcine War Council, where Dynat is recorded as having infamously sparred with First Captain Marius Gage over the conduct of the war after the Ultramarines' repulsed attack during the Battle of Asarna Bay. Dynat was known to be a formidable strategist with a penchant for unorthodox and highly intricate attack plans often designed to pull apart and maim enemy fortifications before a killing blow was delivered. Armillus was also a master of integrated fast-armour and close air-support tactics. Armillus Dynat is thought to have been a theatre commander during the notorious Tesstra Campaign and the mastermind behind the Oanessi Genocide and the Harrowing of Callista Mundus. His name quickly became infamous during the Horus Heresy as a feared strike commander, beginning with the invasion of Paramar. His ultimate fate is unknown.
