About this listen

A galaxy burns and brother turns on brother as the conflict brought about by a beloved son’s betrayal reaches its fateful end. The Warmaster Horus has triumphed. His massive fleet at last nears Terra and the patriarchal Throne of his hated father. Many have fallen to bring this moment about; their tales are the ashes upon which the Heresy was born and prospered. Others have played their own small parts, drops in an ocean of war and blood.

None of it matters.

Terra looks to the skies as it raises its defences. Armies muster, heroes raise their swords, citizens cower. The war is coming. And nothing can stop it.

I really enjoyed the stories, Johnathan K’s performance was great (as always), Matthew Hunt was not so good (hence the 3 star performance rating) luckily he only narrates 1 story.

Worth a listen

Really like this set of shorts felt it set the scene and tone for the upcoming Siege well.

Two of my favorites:

'Magisterium' is quite sad as you realise just how devastating the War in the Webway was for the Custodians.

'The Board is Set' is the perfect end to a sombre collection.

One of the best anthologies

Thoroughly enjoyable collection to listen to while batch painting poxwalkers and trying not to spill shades.

Top notch

good addition to the lore

Really enjoyed these set of small stories. An insight of what's to come for both Loyalist and Traitors, seen through there eyes.

The stories are long enough to let you fall into them, and imagine the thoughts, feelings and sights for all parties, but short enough to not overstay their welcome.

i'd recommend.
