Get new insights into several of the primarchs in tales set across the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy.

A weak Cthonian boy forges a bloody destiny among the stars. Tribal warriors hunt a beast in the Fenrisian snows. Prosperine sorcerers seek hidden secrets. The Emperor's Praetorian shows his ruthless side. Alpharius submits to questioning over a brutal campaign, and Mortarion returns to Terra for the first time since his ascension to daemonhood. Each of these six tales provides you with a new look at one of the primarchs, the demigod sons of the Emperor. Once brothers-in-arms, these legendary heroes fell into war and strife, loyalist and traitor. But each remains a mighty lord of warriors and leader of men, and each has tales to tell…

5.0 out of 5 stars Give me a full length Terminus

I want all of the Chris Wraight Death Guard books. The last story is just great.

The Horus story is good, but it doesn't make a ton of sense being about Horus.

Rus is Rus, and a fun one.

I love a Thousand Sons story, and the Sixth Cult does not disappoint.

Will of the Legion. Hmm, not massively interesting to me, but not horrible, just more there.

Some good Alpha Legion discussions.

Round up from 4.5.

3.0 out of 5 stars Un recueil de nouvelles honnêtement dispensable.
Reviewed in France on September 11, 2022
Verified Purchase
J'ai trouvé ce recueil fastidieux à lire, avec des histoires qui n'apportent rien de spécial à l'univers HH. Mon avis est peut être un peu tranché, parce que je sortais juste de la lecture de Sons of the Emperor, mais clairement il m'a manqué quelque chose en lisant ce recueil-ci. L'impression que lire ou pas ces histoires ne changerait rien à la trame globale de l'Hérésie d'Horus ne m'a pas quitté un seul instant, et c'est fort dommage, d'autant qu'il y avait malgré tout des choses intéressantes.

Un bouquin de remplissage plutôt qu'un vrai recueil de nouvelles apportant leur lot de petites touches développant les histoires sous-jacentes à l'Hérésie d'Horus... qui ne manquera pas vraiment à la collection des fans.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting look into some of our favourite horus heresy characters
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 22, 2022
Verified Purchase
A great exploration of some of our favourite horus heresy characters with some of the stories standing out better than others. Both Mike brooks and Chris wraights stories were superb. Sadly some of the others did not bring much extra to the table and one written by Graham mcneill did not fit into the current mythos of the setting and was rather confusing how certain details got past editing. Overall a decent selection with some adding a refreshing perspective on some great primarch characters.

3.0 out of 5 stars Average filler for HH journey
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 6, 2021

Alright collection of stories, nothing amazing, more like filler for bigger stories. Average, diehard HH readers might get some nuance or joy out of it, but otherwise just skip.
