You suppose a Black Crusade was ever derailed by Spiderman?

Alas, this is the end of the list of failed Black Crusades that the Historium has been able to find so far. If it is so desired, more records may always be unearthed.

>>18847809
Good sir, I assure you that Spiderman is directly responsible for no less than 3 failed Black Crusades. Alas, I have yet to discover the true story of those great losses for the Ruinous Powers

as am I

>>18848380
Number 64, see number 32.

This does seem worthy of preserving for future lulz.
Get to it, men.

How many crusades are we even up to?

Alright here's my attempt, be gentle...

>70 (I have no idea what number we're on): Due to one of the hereteks having fat fingers, Abaddon invaded Canadia instead of Cadia. In the winter. There were no survivors.
>71: Information was received that an Alpha Legionairre had infiltrated the Crusade. No one survived the resulting search/panic.
>72: Trazyn "acquired" Abaddon's topknot. There were no survivors.
>73: One of the World Eaters decided to play some arcaeomusic by a group called "Anaal Nathrakh." There were no survivors.
>74: Abaddon's dog ate his invasion plans. There were a few survivors.

We're up to 104 crusades now by my count

105. Cancelled due to mass rustling of jmmies

>>18848767
106. Pool closed due to discs of Tzeentech

>>18848767
106-110: All performed by Reddit. All were successful, but were notably unoriginal.

>>18848790
107. Happened during mass pauldron shortage
108. Forgot to pay electric bill

70. Renegade battle barge 'The Rainbow Warrior' is successfully engaged and destroyed by Astartes of the Azure Cockerels. Puts an end to the entire crusade.
71. Numerous inaccuracies in planning and tactics are pointed out by a neckbeard with a copy of the latest codex, crusade abandoned.
72. Chaos forces successfully land on Cadia only to be beaten back by a force made up from a superior codex.
73. Every one forgets the meltaguns, hilarity ensues.
74. A boy and some old guy in a DeLorean make the entire crusade fade from existence as it turns out the kid is his own grand father, or something. It probably had something to do with Tzeentch.
75. Southpark parody the previous crusade, everyone is too wrapped up in the resulting lawsuit to remember to set off.

>>18849619
>[STRICKEN FROM RECORDS]
For what, slaughtering, torturing and defiling Eldar horrifically, all in loving detail? Sounds perfectly Chaotic to me.
