About this listen

Created in the Emperor's own image, the primarchs had long thought themselves to be princes of the universe and masters of their own destiny - they led the Space Marine Legions in glorious conquest of the galaxy, and no enemy of the Imperium could stand against them. However, even amongst this legendary brotherhood, the seeds of dissent had been sown long before the treacherous Warmaster Horus declared his grand heresy.

Find out the deepest mysteries of the primarchs. Who is in control of Fulgrim's body - him, or a daemon? What happens when the Alpha Legion fights against itself? Just what secrets is the Lion keeping? And what could the tragic Ferrus Manus have done to prevent himself from becoming a head shorter?

Sadly, the worst HH book so far.
The first story about Fulgrim was perfectly fine, with an interesting concept and good narration. But this sadly deteriorated into page after page of torture porn. not what I want from a Warhammer book.

The second story about Ferrus Manus was boring the characters urelatable. GW have clearly no idea how to make the Iron Hands interesting so have relegated their stories to bad authors in bad books

The third story about the Lion was ok, a slow start with an Interesting twist.

The fourth.. awful. I love the alpha legion and seeing the characterization that Abnett provided to the legion be destroyed by such poor writing and monotonous narration made me sad. Worst Warhammer tale I've read.

I'm short, give it a miss.

Worth a miss

Great stories all round for multiple legions, my favourite has to be the Alpha legion tale, secrets within secrets within secrets.

I am alpharius, this is a lie.

It is, in my opinion a good selection of stories. The last two being my favourites of the lot. The Medusa, the lion and Omegon. And others, all have their machinations pushed and tested to the limits. Alpha legions story stood out the most and was definitely a ‘best, last’ selection imho. Worthwhile in the continuing story of the heresy.

A bit long, but many glimpses at primarch lives.

A really good bunch of short stories. I find the iron hands a bit boring but the rest of the stories are worth it

The dark angels story is excellent
