Torias Telion : The Eye of Vengeance (couverture originale)

Torias Telion : The Eye of Vengeance

As the daemon lord M’Kar and his forces assault Ultramar itself, the warriors of the Ultramarines muster for war. As the Third Company prepare to take the battle to the enemy, a threat is revealed upon Macragge itself and only the renowned sniper Torias Telion can stop the devastation that will ensue if the foe’s plan comes to fruition.

Comme toujours, pas de note pour les eshorts mais il faut reconnaitre qu'en quelques pages Torias Talion:The Eye of Vengeance offre du fluff de Space Marine, de l'action et surtout... donne envie d'en lire plus ! Le Challenge est remporté Monsieur McNeill !

Thief of Revelations (couverture originale)

Thief of Revelations

Audio Drama : 30 min
The Thousand Sons – a Legion whose destiny was irrevocably altered at Prospero, and yet who now seem to dance only to fate’s tune. Ahzek Ahriman and Magnus the Red cast their psychic sight over the galaxy, seeking any clue as to what the future might hold and where their true allegiance should ultimately be placed.
5/5

Interlude non dissimulée pour le futur The Crimson King, Thief of Revelations nous gratifie d'un excellent travail qui mélange savamment ambiance sonore intelligente et récit captivant.
Le point de départ d'un nouveau fluff.

Lucius : The Eternal Blade (couverture originale)

Lucius : The Eternal Blade

Audio Drama : 10 min
Renowned as one of the finest duelists the galaxy has ever known, Lucius seeks ever greater challenges against which to test himself. After the Emperor's Children Legion scattered in the wake of their primarch's apotheosis on Iydris, he finds his way into the domain of a similarly legendary swordsman — Sanakht of the Thousand Sons. But which of these infamous warriors carries the greater favour amongst their new masters?
4/5

Un Audio Drama très agréable qui, en peu de temps, nous offre un duel très ambiancé, des indices sur les prochaines rencontres et un twist final pour clore le tout.

Imperial Truth (couverture originale)

Imperial Truth

The Emperor decreed long ago that there were no gods upon the Earth or in the sky, and that all of mankind's belief and aspirations should be poured into His vision for the galaxy instead. Upon such unshakeable foundations was the Imperium to be built — except that the Imperial Truth was a lie, and the powers that the Emperor denied had already sunken their claws into many of his sons. With the treachery of Horus now known from the Eastern Fringe to holy Terra itself, how many more of his father's words will be proven false in the days to come?
3/5

Malgré d'assez bonnes nouvelles dans l'ensemble, il sera difficile de ne pas comparer ce recueil aux autres. Moins épique et moins varié il sera difficile de le conseiller malgré ses bonnes idées.

The Kaban Project (couverture originale)

The Kaban Project

The Mechanicum priesthood guards its secrets carefully — few of its technological marvels and processes are fully understood by the Imperium, and many more could be deadly if allowed to fall into the wrong hands. However, in the forges of Lukas Chrom, something sinister has come into being. Rumours abound of forbidden lore and artificial sentience, and a name has been whispered in the dark corners of the Martian data network: 'Kaban'.
4/5

The Kaban Project est à lire juste avant Mechanicum de l’Hérésie d’Horus. Ce récit est court mais bien rempli, avec de l’investigation, de l’action et même un peu de fluff. Vraiment agréable à lire.

Les Seigneurs de Mars (couverture française)

Les Seigneurs de Mars

La mission d’exploration du Magos Kotov, en quête d’anciens secrets, se met route vers une zone spatiale nouvellement découverte, mais les terribles eldars sont à leur poursuite. Et alors que l’Adeptus Mechanicus et les Black Templars doivent affronter la double menace des xénos et d’une insurrection naissante parmi les rangs de leur propre flotte, un nouveau danger se révèle.
4.5/5

Malgré les rares baisses de rythme, Les Seigneurs de Mars est captivant et brille toujours par son originalité et ses mystères. Le savoir, c'est le pouvoir et on n'en aura jamais assez !

Death of a Silversmith (couverture originale)

Death of a Silversmith

In what should have been the pinnacle of his career, a lone remembrancer meets an unfortunate end at the hands of the Luna Wolves. So close to the heart of the Warmaster’s emerging powerbase, were the signs of Horus’s fall apparent from the beginning, yet heeded by no one?
