WARHAMMER 30K

The 31st Millennium is an age of triumph. After long centuries of darkness and fragmentation, the Emperor of Mankind has reclaimed the stars for humanity. With his vast armies of Space Marines, each belonging to one of twenty mighty Legions, and led by his superhuman sons—the Primarchs—he has waged the Great Crusade across the galaxy. Alien empires have fallen. Human worlds, long lost to ignorance and war, have been brought back into the fold. For the first time in ten thousand years, mankind stands united under a single, secular vision: a future of reason, unity, and strength, free from the chains of superstition and mutation. But beneath the surface of this glorious expansion, fault lines begin to spread. The Primarchs, each a godlike figure of war and ambition, clash in method and philosophy. Resentments simmer. Secrets are kept. Some question the Emperor’s decisions—especially his sudden withdrawal from the front lines to focus on a mysterious project deep beneath Terra. Others whisper of forbidden knowledge, of hidden forces stirring in the Warp, and of strange occurrences that cannot be explained by science alone. At the center of it all stands Horus, the Emperor’s most trusted son, newly named Warmaster—commander of all the Emperor’s armies in his absence. Beloved, brilliant, and burdened with impossible responsibility, Horus leads the legions in his father’s name. But something is coming. A shadow gathers at the edge of glory. And the greatest betrayal in the history of mankind is about to begin. (With Inner Self & AC)
