Blood Games

By Dan Abnett

Synopsis

Set on Terra following the start of the Horus Heresy, the story chronicles Amon Tauromachian (An Adeptus Custodian) who is charged with protecting the Emperor while the world around him begins the process of fortification in the hope of defeating the rebels. Amon is tasked with taking part in the 'Blood Game', a task all Custodians endure and one which sets them against the Imperial Palace in the hope of guarding the Emperor through the exposure of flaws in his protection. Following his success Amon Tauromachian and a fellow Custodian Haedo Emankon are are sent on a dangerous mission by Constantin Valdor to gather incriminating evidence on a member of the Unity government, suspected of treason. But all is not as it seems.

Setting

Terra, after the Battle of Isstvan III.

Wolf at the Door

By Mike Lee

Synopsis

A band of Space Wolves belonging to the 13th Great Company, which is traveling with the 954th Expeditionary Fleet, rediscover a planet which was previously hidden by Warp Storms. It is inhabited by humans, and is therefore to be brought into the fold of the Imperium. However, the planet is regularly raided by what the locals call "Harrowers" (Dark Eldar, Kabal of the Shrieking Heart). The Space Wolves battle to expel the raiders from the planet, but the end result is both unwanted and unexpected.

Setting

  • Lammas subsector, shortly before the Space Wolves attack Prospero.
    • The planet Kernunnos
    • The planet Antimon

Scions of the Storm

By Anthony Reynolds

Synopsis

The Word Bearers have encountered a planet they designate Forty-seven Sixteen, which is populated by humans who appear to worship an idol. The world is ordered to be cleansed, for idolatry can not be tolerated. Sor Talgron battles through artificial intelligence-guided machines to the leaders of the people of Forty-seven Sixteen, only to discover that they worship the Emperor as a God, and that they want to join the Imperium. Sometimes, however, sacrifice is necessary.

Setting

  • The Battle of 47-16, about a month after Lorgar had returned from seeing the Emperor (see conjecture section below).

Characters
