Echoes of Eternity (Volume 7) (The Horus Heresy: Siege of Terra)

Product Information

The casual brutality of the Warmaster's act galvanised the Emperor as He realised what awaited Mankind under the rule of Horus and the Chaos Gods. Battle lines met on Terra, and traitor Primarchs unleashed their unnatural powers in The Lost and the Damned . The primary focus shifts between characters on both sides of the conflict as it rages through the burning districts of the Inner Palace. As the Warmaster was heading towards Terra he received an unexpected communication from the Thousand Sons Primarch Magnus the Red.

Elements from five of the Traitor Legions participated in the initial ground assault, aided by the Traitor forces already on the surface. These forces were bolstered by elements of the Night Lords and 5,000 Word Bearers commanded by Zardu Layak, as the majority of the Word Bearers Legion remained under the command of the Primarch Lorgar, who had betrayed the Warmaster. True to his earlier word to let Mortarion's legion be the first to set foot upon Terra, Horus prepared to use the Death Guard in the first Astartes-led assaults on the Palace. Sigismund: The Eternal Crusader will reveal everything there is to know about the stoic First Captain of the Imperial Fists and will be available as a limited edition hardback as part of the Black Library Celebration 2022.Rather than assaulting the almost-invincible flanks of the Chaos army, Khan redirected his highly mobile White Scars Space Marines and the surviving Loyalist Tank Divisions of the Imperial Army to Lion's Gate Spaceport. Four key areas were now threatened by the traitors: the Colossi Gate, the Eternity Wall Spaceport, the Saturnine Gate, and Gorgon Bar. We’ve also got two Reader’s Choice books up for reprint, Witch Hunter and Cadian Blood , as well as the hardback of Astorath: Angel of Mercy – available for the first time since its release as a super-special edition last Christmas. Just before Horus died, he looked his father in the eye, shedding a single tear, begging his father to forgive him for his betrayal.

Meanwhile, in the Signus Cluster, the Blood Angels, granted new and terrible power by a mysterious mass rage (that would resurface again during the Siege of Terra) had triumphed, smashed the hordes of the Chaos daemons asunder at the Battle of Signus Prime and were able to make the Warp jump to Terra following the dissolution of the Ruinstorm in the wake of the Second Battle of Davin. Sigismund was bested, but saved by the appearance of Rogal Dorn himself who slapped away Kharn like an insect. It’s time to hand you over to John French, who penned the saga of one of the Horus Heresy’s most legendary – and enigmatic – warriors. It’s a true artefact of the conflict – with this map unfurled on your desk, you’ll feel like Rogal Dorn himself as he strives against the odds to oversee an impossible defence.The Emperor also knew that the Ruinous Powers could attempt to possess Horus again, and that He would not be there to stop him if they did. Reports from the time indicate that the Sons of Horus, sensing the moment of their Primarch's death, immediately broke from the siege and were the first to flee from Terra, while Mortarion and the Death Guard Legion were the last. Ancient rivals, the god-engines of both Legions meet in battle, while within the walls a few desperate individuals seek a way to turn back the tide of the warp's malign influence.
