Two paperbacks are up for pre-order this week, bringing you the defining moment for Mortarion’s Legion in the Horus Heresy, and a collection of tales based on the servants of Inquisitor Covenant. Take a look at what’s coming your way.
The Buried Dagger by James Swallow is the final numbered volume in the Horus Heresy series and tells the long-awaited tale of the fall of the Death Guard into Nurgle’s sticky embrace.
Stilled in the warp en route to the Siege of Terra, the Death Guard are blighted with a mysterious illness. As ship after ship falls victim to this plague, Mortarion must make a terrible choice – let his Legion die or go against his every belief and beseech the powers of the warp for aid. See this legendary moment from Warhammer 40,000 lore, and find out what’s going on with Malcador’s Knights Errant on the Throneworld. Pre-order the paperback now.
The Horusian Wars series delves into the murky waters of Inquisitorial politics as different factions vie for power and work to achieve their own wildly differing goals. The viewpoints into the conflict are from the various agents of Inquisitor Covenant’s warband – and the anthology Divination focuses on each of these diverse and intriguing figures.
Eleven tales by John French detail the stories of Covenant’s comrades, from the flamboyant rogue trader Duke Cleander von Castellan* to Magos Glavius-4-Rho. Each has a fascinating tale to tell, adding emotional depth and weight to their actions and fates in the Horusian Wars novels, Resurrection and Incarnation. You can discover all their secrets in the paperback edition – get your copy now.
You can pre-order both these paperbacks from the Games Workshop webstore, or check out Black Library for digital versions and more tales from both series.
* Warhammer fans of a certain vintage may recognise von Castellan – and Covenant himself – from the old Inquisitor game.
