A Horus Heresy Anthology.

The Horus Heresy is an epic conflict spanning hundreds of worlds and thousands of battles, laced with countless tales of heroism and valour, betrayal and villainy. This anthology collects some of the most memorable, featuring every one of the Loyalist and Traitor Legions.

Listen to it because....

Whether you're a veteran Legionary or exploring the grim setting of the Horus Heresy for the first time, this handpicked collection of 21 existing short stories features gripping tales for each of the Loyalist and Traitor Legions that waged wars of betrayal and destruction on an immeasurable scale.

Description:

Never has the Imperium known a weapon as deadly as the massed might of a Space Marine Legion. Together, these mighty warriors form an unbreakable spear at the fore of the Great Crusade. Together, they quest to reclaim humanity's birthright – its dominion over the stars. Each Legion is led by a legendary primarch, and the greatest among them is Horus Lupercal, Warmaster of the Imperium. Yet at the height of his power, this beloved son betrayed his oaths, taking half his brothers with him into damnation.

Condemned to an eternity of war, the galaxy burns as loyal Space Marine Legions and their traitorous kin tear apart everything they bled to build. This anthology collects over 20 existing stories from a variety of authors, featuring every one of the Space Marine Legions and ranging from the Unification Wars to the most brutal days of the Age of Darkness.

Great collection of stories

This audio collection gives a good mix of flavors for both loyalists and traitors, as well as the normal people caught between them.

Performances are great, and the writing is really entertaining!

My first Warhammer book and I loved every bit!

this was my first Warhammer novel and I really loved being introduced to all the different leggings and characters, excellent writing and performance!

A lot of good story across the legions

If I could change one thing it would be to make it more clear which legion each story focused on.

Gotta love short stories!

If you like short stories this is a great book. Definitely recommend if you have an attention span like I do.

I am new to Warhammer and loved the YouTube lore videos I saw and read every best of list to figure out where to start and I can say after months of searching THIS is the Warhammer I found interest in to begin with!
The opening story is a perfect badass encapsulation of everything I love about W40k so far. Absolutely worth all the credits!!!
