Meduson is a limited-release anthology in the Horus Heresy series. It was published in May 2015 and is exclusive to the Games Workshop Headquarters in Nottingham. It was re-released in an "Ultimate Edition" on 20 May 2016 as both a limited number hardback book with two CDs containing "Grey Talon" and "The Either," e-book, or an Enhanced Audio Edition that incorporated audio elements. The short story "Hand Elect" by Chris Wraight was added for the re-release. It contains the same stories featured in the 43rd book in the Horus Heresy, Shattered Legions.

The stories focus on the actions of the Iron Hands under the leadership of Shadrak Meduson.

Cover description

Driven almost to the brink of self-destruction by the death of Ferrus Manus, the Iron Hands now seek vengeance for the many horrors of Isstvan V. Gathering survivors from the Raven Guard and the Salamanders aboard any vessels capable of warp travel, they wage a new campaign of annihilation against the traitor forces across the galaxy - a campaign masterminded by legendary warleader Shadrak Meduson.[1]
