The King's Steed or more commonly known as Odin. He is the mighty eight legged horse given to Thaddeus's care by Lord Guilliman himself before his ascension into the Great Sleep. Odin is a powerful breed of horse known as Sleipnir, which is actually the name of the original beast that once was owned by the Norse god Odin before his demise.
Odin is special in his own way due to his ability to create flumes, or tunnels between dimensions. This allows Odin to be called onto the battlefield in a spectacular display of light. Thaddeus can ride Odin through a flume, and travel to any dimension possible. Where Odin actually resides is unbeknownst to Thaddeus, and even Guilliman himself. Thanks to Odin's great strength, he can easily be mounted and rode by Thaddeus. Odin is far larger than his Primarch, and only responds to his commands, but with a special occasion to someone else. Odin enjoys eating apples like an ordinary horse, but doesn't require food, water, or air due to his dimensional energy within him. Thus, this makes Odin a prime candidate for a King's steed. |
