After deshea

Après Desh'ea

The Primarch angron is reunited with his Legion, with disastrous consequences
With the discovery of the lost primarch Angron came violence and confusion, and what should have been the defining moment of the War Hounds Legion instead became a humbling embarrassment. As their senior officers fall one by one to the rage of the newly freed gladiator-king, it seems that they are doomed – perhaps their last chance for redemption comes in the form of the Eighth Captain, Khârn. Will this calm and level-headed warrior be able to lead his father into the Emperor’s light, or will he join the rest of his Legion in death?
4.5/5

Après Desh’ea est une réussite majeure. Une nouvelle essentielle, dure, triste, mais profondément juste, qui transforme Angron et Khârn en figures tragiques plutôt qu’en simples icônes de violence. Un texte indispensable pour comprendre pourquoi les World Eaters n’ont jamais vraiment eu de cha...

Last church

La Dernière Église

The Emperor declares Unity on Terra, and a lone priest awaits his fate
Terra stands upon the brink of Unity. The armies of the self-proclaimed Emperor of Mankind have waged their bloody wars to bring the whole planet under his rule, crushing all traces of outlawed religion and worship from the face of this now secular utopia. But even the mighty Thunder Warriors cannot cow Uriah Olathaire, last priest of the Church of the Lightning Stone, as he goes about his empty, hollow rituals – and only one last and thoroughly unexpected visitor can bring any hope of a possible reconciliation.
5/5

La Dernière Église est une œuvre majeure, dense et intelligente, qui prouve que Warhammer peut être un terrain fertile pour de véritables réflexions philosophiques. Une lecture essentielle, et un texte qui continue de hanter longtemps après la dernière page.

Call of the lion

L'Appel du Lion

Differing philosophies of war bring the Dark Angels into conflict
The Dark Angels Legion is couched in layers of mystery and secrecy, harkening back to the days of the knightly orders of Caliban that helped to raise their infant primarch. But Lion El’Jonson’s greatest strength often proves to be one of the most divisive issues amongst his sons – rarely can any two commanders agree upon one single course of action from the start. As they seek to bring the world of Byzanthis to compliance, Chapter Masters Astelan and Belath are among those with very different notions of what victory might require.
1.5/5

L’Appel du Lion est une nouvelle théoriquement importante mais narrativement faible. Elle voulait explorer les fractures internes des Dark Angels et la duplicité de leur Primarque ; elle n’offre qu’un récit fade, déséquilibré et sans âme. Une lecture dispensable, même pour les amateurs de la P...

The voice

La Voix

The Sisters of Silence investigate the disappearance of one of the Black Ships
The Black Ships are a mysterious and fearful sight – unmarked vessels that scour the distant reaches of the galaxy, ever watchful for latent psykers and witchbreeds for the monolithic Astra Telepathica. When one such ship, the Validus, is found drifting unpowered in the nightmare realm of the warp, it falls to the Sisters of Silence to uncover the reason behind it. As pariahs capable of blocking even the most potent psychic energy, Amendera Kendel and young Leilani Mollitas ready themselves for the worst.
2.5/5

La Voix est une nouvelle imparfaite mais intéressante. Elle brille par son apport au lore et par la mise en lumière des Sœurs du Silence, dont James Swallow parvient à capter l’étrangeté et la rigueur. En revanche, son intrigue souffre d’un antagonisme maladroit et d’un rythme trop mou pour so...

Scions of the storm

Les Descendants de la Tempête

The Word Bearers seek to crush the false idols of a wayward human culture
Shortly after the shameful events of Monarchia, the Word Bearers Legion have begun to prosecute the Great Crusade with a previously unseen level of zealotry and aggression. The world of Forty-Seven Sixteen falls into their sights, a world where the human populace worship graven idols in their heathen rights, and yet plead to be integrated into the wider Imperium. Captain Sor Talgron of the 34th Company stands ready to serve his primarch – but does the Legion have more in common with the people of Forty-Seven Sixteen than they realise?
4/5

Les Descendants de la Tempête est une courte tragédie de loyauté aveugle. Anthony Reynolds y montre, avec une efficacité redoutable, comment on peut tomber sans jamais avoir l’impression de trahir. Une lecture rapide, mais lourde de sens, qui renforce encore l’aura sombre et fascinante des fil...

Wolf at the door

Dans la Gueule du Loup

The Thirteenth Company of the Space Wolves defend an Imperial world
The Space Wolves of the VIth Legion are among the most fierce and dedicated of the Legiones Astartes, bringing the Emperor’s wrath against the many enemies of mankind. As part of the 954th Expedition, Wolf Lord Bulveye’s warriors of the 13th Company come across a world previously shrouded by warp storms and cut off from the rest of the Imperium – when it becomes apparent that the human population is being raided by mysterious xenos known as ‘the Harrowers’, the Space Wolves are duty-bound to intervene.
2.5/5

Dans la Gueule du Loup n’est pas une mauvaise nouvelle, mais elle manque d’ambition. Elle effleure des thèmes passionnants sans jamais vraiment les creuser. Agréable sans être mémorable, elle reste surtout un texte de transition, plus instructif qu’autre chose.

Blood games

Parties de Chasse

The Emperor's own Custodian Guard test the defences of the Imperial Palace
Amon Tauromachian, one of the Emperor’s elite Custodian Guard, returns to the Imperial Palace after a year on one of the Blood Games by which these exalted heroes train. Tasked with a new mission, he is sent to the hives of Hy Brasil to check on the loyalty of a notorious troublemaker. With the galaxy at war and half the Imperium’s armies in rebellion, any hint of heresy on the Throneworld must be stamped out. Amon’s mission draws him into a web of deceit and betrayal, where no one can be trusted and nothing is at it seems. Can he unravel the truth and secure Terra for the Emperor?
4/5

Parties de Chasse est une nouvelle efficace comme le tranchant d’une lame custodienne ou la plume de son auteur : elle va droit au but, avec élégance et pertinence. En quelques pages, le lecteur apprendra à connaître les prétoriens de l’Empereur sous toile d'infiltration musclée.
