Fulgrim (The Horus Heresy): No. 5

Product Information

The first book in The Primarchs, Roboute Guilliman - Lord of Ultramar is written by David Annandale and contains information on Roboute Guilliman and the Ultramarines Legion. Long before the coming of the Imperium, the realm of Ultramar was ruled by Roboute Guilliman, the last Battle King of Macragge. Even after learning of his true heritage as a Primarch son of the Emperor of Mankind, he strove to expand his domain as efficiently and benevolently as possible, with the XIII Legion Ultramarines as his alone to command. Now, facing a rival empire on the Ork-held world of Thoas, Guilliman must choose his weapons carefully – otherwise his dream of a brighter future could be lost forever... Mechanicum— Now we start jumping around a bit. This book is pivotal in understanding the schism within the Mechanicus, and what the main issue is between the two sides. It also introduces one of the neatest concepts in the Warhammer universe.

The Flight of the Eisenstein follows the eponymous Eisenstein, a space frigate of the "Death Guard" 14thLegion of Space Marines. The story follows the ship's escape from the Betrayal of Istvaan III, crewed by surviving loyalists of the four Legions present at the battle and commanded by Battle‑Captain Nathaniel Garro of the Death Guard 7thCompany and one of the few Commanders in the Traitor Legions that remain loyal to the Emperor – followed by the perilous voyage the vessel must take across the galaxy in an effort to reach Terra and raise the alarm over the developing rebellion. Garro and the others on board the vessel face suspicion and incredulity from Imperial authorities; apart from the inconceivable news of Horus' betrayal, the situation is complicated by the fact that many of the travellers on the Eisenstein now openly proclaim their belief in the Emperor's divinity, itself a heresy. [15] Roboute Guilliman, Lion'El Johnson, and Sanguinius have abandoned the Imperium Secundus and make for Terra, bringing the prisoner Konrad Curze along. Doing so, however, requires them to traverse the Ruinstorm, a raging warp storm which makes passage all but impossible. The three primarchs each face their own temptations and trials throughout the journey through warp, both physical and spiritual. Epic, solar-system sized obstacles situated in both realspace and warpspace prevent their passage, and the three legions must work together to overcome each one. The story's climax centers on Chaos Undivided's attempt to turn Sanguinius to their will. The demon lord Madail presents an unthinkable ultimatum to the Angel. In the throes of his temptation, Sanguinius is burdened with foreknowledge which obscures the righteous path, and the final fate of Konrad Curze.

The Imperial Fists hold the wall

A Safe and Shadowed Place: Following the catastrophe of the Thramas Crusade, and with the Night Haunter and First Captain Sevatar missing, Gendor Skraivok plots his next course of action against the Imperium, with his gaze falling upon Sotha as a suitable target. And that’s really it. These are the only necessary books to understand the Horus Heresy. Again, there are some great short stories and some great books in here that I’m leaving out. For hardcore Heresy fans, those could be must-reads. If you find yourself getting bored of yet another Heresy tale, or if you find yourself hating how your favorite primarch has been treated in a book, this list is for you. Additional Reading to the Horus Heresy Guide Tallarn: Siren Focuses on Loyalist forces enacting a desperate mission to locate the last astropath on the planet following the extraction of the Iron Warriors. The Outcast Dead is the first novel-length story in the series to take place almost entirely on Terra. It covers a relatively short period, starting several months before Magnus' catastrophic psychic visit at the Imperial Palace ( Book 12), and concluding several months after this event. The unauthorised visit is central to the story: apart from damaging the Emperor's top secret project ( Book 1) and the planet's defense, it massively disrupts Terra's long-range communications infrastructure. The ensuing isolation and confusion cause indecision and delays for the Loyalist side. The story's main character is Kai Zulane, previously a gifted Imperial astropath attached to the Ultramarines Legion. He unwittingly becomes the keeper of a secret that could decide the victor in the developing galactic civil war. The secret has additional implications regarding the Heresy's conclusion and the future course of the Imperium of Man. "The Outcast Dead" are other protagonists: a small, disparate group of Space Marines suspected as traitors, with whom Zulane falls in during the second half of the book. [28] [29] Despite his imposing stature and bombastic vibe, Fulgrim’s finer details are what really make the miniature pop. Charms, fetishes, trophies, and ribbons adorn his mutated war plate, with no square inch free from some form of impressively gaudy accessory. Truly, he is Slaanesh’s chosen.

The Buried Dagger— In case you were wondering how the Mortarion from the Council of Nikea becomes the poster child for psyker nonsense, this book’s for you. It is a very good book that details exactly how and why Mortarion and his boys fall to Nurgle. It will, however, make you wonder why Typhus still walks amongst the legion in the 42nd millennium. Lion's Gate Spaceport is retaken, but the majority of the Palace and Terra has now fallen to the Traitors. Angron, Daemon Primarch of the World Eaters and now-Herald of Horus following Mortarion spearheads the carnage though the fire and ash of Terra's dying breaths. In the wake of the Red Angel and the armies of the damned, Chaos is preparing to change Terra into an image more to its liking (and less to the Loyalists' sanity). With the Khan on the edge of death, Dorn beleaguered at Bhab Bastion, and Guilliman (seemingly) not going to make it in time, it falls to Sanguinius – fated-to-die Angel of the Ninth Legion – to rally the defenders and refugees for one more stand at the Delphic Battlement, the very walls of the Sanctum Imperialis, and paint the golden Eternity Gate blood red if he must if it means the Traitors shall not pass. Fulgrim Transfigured will be fully playable in games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy,** and is an unmissable centrepiece for fans of the Emperor’s Children. Imagine having to fight that thing with only a few Dreadnoughts and boltguns to hand. Ostian the carver, Serena the painter in addition to normally Fulgrim one of the most excellent of Astartes look for to attain a degree of excellence, which is clearly totally unattainable. Ahhh … yet wait … enter the seeds of problem in addition to the whisperings of real excellence.The sixth book in The Primarchs, Fulgrim - The Palatine Phoenix is written by Josh Reynolds. Lord of Chemos and bearer of the Palatine Aquila, Fulgrim, Primarch of the Emperor's Children, is determined to take his rightful place in the Great Crusade, whatever the cost. A swordsman without equal, the Phoenician has long studied the art of war and grows impatient to put his skills, and those of his loyal followers, to a true test. Now, accompanied by only seven of his finest warriors, he seeks to bring a rebellious world into compliance, by any means necessary. But Fulgrim soon learns that no victory come without cost, and the greater the triumph, the greater the price one must pay...

With this much space potentially between the release of resin versus plastic, it seems like this is a sales tactic to put distance between the two Fulgrim models. While most people were clambering for this model in 40k, it looks like he’s coming to Horus Heresy first.Brotherhood of the Moon: On trail by his Legion, Torghun Khan must account for the events that lead him to the Lodges and the rebellion that nearly consumed the White Scars Legion. This list includes all known upcoming Primarchs series, novellas, short stories and audio dramas, their release dates, synopsis and cover art may be unknown. His coiled body and epic wingspan make Fulgrim Transfigured easily the largest Primach in the Horus Heresy range, dwarfing his lesser brothers with sheer daemonic power. As only the second Primarch to receive a second model, alongside Horus Ascended , the Phoenecian is a new watermark for awe-inspiring resin miniatures.

The audience has a partially omniscient point-of-view, since a number of significant events, the general outline, and the ending of the Horus Heresy are known in advance. Story elements have been published by Games Workshop starting1988 ( Merrett 2007, p.6[not numbered]); a comprehensive outline, including the conclusion, was published in the four-volume Horus Heresy art book series between May 2004 and July 2006. This series was republished in a 2007 omnibus edition, see Collected Visions (in § Related works: Selections). a b Short stories: "The Dark King", "The Kaban Project", and "Death of a Silversmith" by Graham McNeil; "The Lightning Tower" by Dan Abnett; "Raven's Flight" by Gav Thorpe (these stories were previously published; "Raven's Flight", a prequel to Book 18, is an adaptation of an original "Horus Heresy Audio Drama", the first such entry in this series). Novellas: "The Crimson Fist" by John French (prepublished as stand-alone e‑book, see French 2012); "The Prince of Crows", an original story by Aaron Dembski‑Bowden. ( Dunn, Kyme & 2012-2, edition notice [p.6(not numbered)], §"Contents"). Currently, there are Death Guard, Thousand Sons, and a new World Eaters codex book. That only leaves Emperor’s Children to complete the pantheon of renegade Astartes allied to the four Chaos gods. Putting Fulgrim in the book would be the perfect character to lead the EC army!
