Helbrecht : The Crusader (couverture originale)

Helbrecht : The Crusader

Newly raised to the rank of High Marshal of the Black Templars, lord of the Eternal Crusade, Helbrecht has led his brethren into the Ghoul Stars, to wage war on worlds where reality itself is in question and the laws of physics do not apply. As they prepare for a final assault on an alien stronghold, Helbrecht lectures his warriors on the rewards that await them, the glory of battle and eternity at the Emperor’s right hand.
Bjorn : The Fell Handed (couverture originale)

Bjorn : The Fell Handed

After the battle is over, as the fire burns and the blood dries, tales are told and sagas forged. And no warrior of the Space Wolves is the hero of more stories than Bjorn the Fell-Handed. On Moreal, Finnvid tells of the heroics he witnessed from the ancient Dreadnought as Bjorn battled a foe beyond understanding, but one with which he was strangely familiar…

Avec cette eshort, l'auteur nous révèle encore un instant de vie du grand Space Wolf qu'est Bjorn, une histoire de guerrier contée au coin du feu que vous saurez certainement apprécier.

The Stromark Massacre (couverture originale)

The Stromark Massacre

Audio Drama : 90min
++We are fury! We are wrath! We are death!++ ++Chaplain Appollus, Flesh Tearers++.
4/5

Deux auteurs pour un audio, une idée charmeuse et efficace qui nous fait vivre le massacre de Stromark en deux temps. Une coopération entre auteurs bien plus réussie que les Flesh Tearers et les Angels Encarmine lorsqu’on y pense.

Trials of Azrael (couverture originale)

Trials of Azrael

As war rages in the Pandorax system, the Imperial battleship Revenge comes under attack by the dread forces of Chaos. As warriors of the Black Legion rampage through the venerable craft, Supreme Grand Master Azrael leads the First Company of the Dark Angels — the elite Deathwing — onto the vessel to eliminate the enemy. Separated from his men, Azrael finds himself trapped in the lower decks with only a tech-priest for company and one of the galaxy's most fearsome warriors hunting him: the infamous Khârn the Betrayer.
Pandorax (couverture française)

Pandorax

Dans le système de Pandorax, sur un monde hostile nommé Pythos, un secret resté enseveli durant des millénaires vient d'être découvert… Ignorant tout de cette menace, les soldats du 183e Catachan, stationnés sur Pythos sous le commandement du colonel "La Mort" Strike, se trouvent soudain assaillis par les forces du Chaos. Des milliers de démons assombrissent le ciel, et nul autre que le Warmaster Abdaddon en personne mène cette attaque. Face à la Death Guard et la Black Legion réunies, les Catachans semblent condamnés, jusqu'à ce que surgisse leur salut sous la forme du chapitre des Dark An...
Machine Spirit (couverture originale)

Machine Spirit

When a Deathwatch mission goes awry, a kill-team led by Techmarine Zaeus are forced into a rapid and desperate exfiltration. Their captain, Polino, is badly injured. When they find their transport destroyed, its pilot dead, they know they are in trouble. Hope lies in the chance discovery of a communication from another Adeptus Astartes force on the world and the promise of reinforcement. As his brothers try to hold out against murderous alien kroot, Zaeus goes on alone to find the source of the message and bring help before it's too late.
3/5

Cette nouvelle de Nick Kyme est assez classique dans l'ensemble et accuse en plus certaines faiblesses de taille. Néanmoins le plaisir de lire un récit sur la Deathwatch ne devrait pas entamer votre morale de fer face à la horde de xenos qui arrive.

Iron Priest (couverture originale)

Iron Priest

Olvar makes his way across the ice to take part in the trials that could lead to his ascension to join the Sky Warriors, but another of Fenris’s inhabitants is trailing him… Ragnvald of the Space Wolves wages war on mankind’s foes. As the enemy strikes, all seems lost, but something else hunts with Ragnvald… How are these disparate warriors linked, and what is their destiny?

Sans trop surprendre, l'auteur nous fera passer un bon moment avec ses Space Wolves. Une histoire classique, mais qui sentira fortement le loup néanmoins.

Veil of Darkness (couverture originale)

Veil of Darkness

Audio Drama : 75min
++‘Life signs stable.’ ‘He looks… troubled.’ ‘Many going through sus-an membrane coma experience discomfort as part of the revivification process.’ ‘Do you think he’s reliving what happened to him on Damnos?’ ‘Perhaps, it would be his last memory before slipping into a coma.’ ‘I cannot imagine that would be a pleasant experience. That thing very nearly cut him in half.’ ‘He endures, and will rise again.’ ‘You’re confident about that?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘And what about the state of his mind? Will that be intact?’ ‘I… cannot answer.’++.
