Emperor Great Crusade
The Emperor of Mankind led the Space Marine Legions personally during the Great Crusade in the 30th Millennium.

The Great Crusade of the Emperor of Mankind began as the Age of Strife came to an end for Humanity. The Warp storms isolating the Human colony worlds for 5,000 Terran years had finally disappeared with the birth of Slaanesh and the Fall of the Aeldari in the 30th Millennium.

The man known only as the Emperor, a Perpetual and the greatest psyker in Human history, had emerged mysteriously from the darkness of Old Night as the greatest warlord of the Human homeworld. The Emperor, with the aid of His friend and ally Malcador the Sigillite, had united Terra under His rule during the Unification Wars which had ended in 712.M30 in the final decades of the Age of Strife. He intended to use His genetically-enhanced Space Marines and the Imperial Army.
