Along with a chosen few of the Legion’s elite Firedrakes, he must bear the last seven of Vulkan’s greatest weapons away to the secret vault known as the Wrought, putting them forever beyond the reach of treacherous enemy and well-intentioned ally alike. But word has already spread of these legendary artefacts, and there are many who would see T’kell’s endeavour fail for their own gain – the Salamanders must remain true, no matter what horrors they might ...

Betrrayal at Calth Long considering themselves persecuted by the rest of the Imperium, the apostles of the XVIIth Legion have courted sedition, betrayal and even open heresy for decades. But for Kurtha Sedd of the Third Hand Chapter, the Word Bearers’ assault on Calth has proven… troubling.

Betrayal At Calth In the immediate aftermath of the Word Bearers’ attack on Calth, survivors from both sides were driven into the subterranean arcology shelters by the tortured Veridian star. While their primarch Roboute Guilliman had planned for many seemingly unthinkable eventualities, the Ultramarines now face a new war in the underworld – could Steloc Aethon, renowned captain of ‘the Honoured 19th’ Company, be the one to lead them to ultimate victory over the traitors? Perhaps, if he can master his own bitter desire for vengeance…
The Lord of Winter and War The Space Wolves were set upon by the forces of the Alpha Legion before they had even recovered from the Razing of Prospero – hounded to the edge of the Alaxxes Nebula, in desperation Leman Russ called out to his primarch brothers for aid. None came. Now, with their fleet stranded and supplies dwindling, the warriors of the Rout face almost certain death amidst the rust-red clouds of the nebula.

4.5/5Wolf King est à la fois audacieux, intelligent et pose un véritable dilemme au lecteur, surtout lorsque la légion des Space Wolves ne vous laisse pas indifférent. Une novella qui vous invitera à repenser la 6ème, ses croyances comme ses obligations.
Mars must be purged Soon after word reached Terra of Horus’s nascent rebellion, Mars fell. Rogue elements within the Mechanicum priesthood, stirred by the Warmaster’s promises of independence and prosperity, turned against the Imperium and forced the primarch Rogal Dorn to order an impenetrable blockade of the Red Planet.

Calling upon the expertise of those who witnessed the so-called ‘Death of Innocence’ firsthand, Lord Dorn and Malcador the Sigillite c...
4/5Si un technoprêtre lisait Cybernetica, il suinterait probablement de l'huile. Cet novella est sans équivoque pour tous les fans du culte de Mars mais aussi pour tous les autres qui y trouveront un récit dynamique, orienté vers l'action et saupoudré de tonnes de références au Mechanic...

The darkness beneath... The battle for Tallarn rages between the traitor Iron Warriors and the Imperial Army. A carpet of armour covers the surface of the toxic planet: Dreadnoughts versus tanks versus Titans. But what secret purpose drives the Iron Warriors onwards to war?
3.5/5Avec Tallarn : Ironclad vous allez en apprendre plus sur les forces s'affrontant sur Tallarn, mais l'impression que tout cela n'est qu'un apport superficiel à la saga donnera un manque de saveur à l’œuvre, comme si l’existence même de toute cette histoire n'était pas l...
Cut off the head and the body dies The crew of the Sisypheum join a covert assault on a hidden Alpha Legion outpost. Who but the legendary Iron Hands warleader Shadrak Meduson would dare to make such a bold move...?
5/5Avec Seventh Serpent, Graham McNeill a pris les devants pour son Crimson King mais a aussi donné suffisamment au fan de l'Alpha Légion pour le faire patienter et continuer de spéculer. Ajouter à cela des personnages captivants comme Alpharius, Wayland et Sharrokyn et vous avez une histoir...
