This is the third book in the successful Horus Heresy series. Set 10,000 years before the current Warhammer 40,000 universe, it details a massive and catastrophic civil war that enguifed humanity. Packed full of high quality artwork and lavish background information, the Horus Heresy series builds up an invaluable companion to the darkest time in the history of humanity.
From the ashes of the Great Crusade, treachery was born. Always first among the superhuman primarchs, the newly dubbed Warmaster Horus turned his back upon the Emperor and embraced the dark powers of Chaos. With fully half the military might of the fledgling Imperium at his command, he set his sights upon the throne of Holy Terra and waged a war which would divide the galaxy forever...Visions of war, visions of darkness, of treachery and death - all of this and more is contained within this heretical volume. Iconic depictions of the Space Marine Legions and the heroes that commanded them are presented alongside artwork from renowned artists Neil Robert, as well as brand new historical notes on the Warhammer 40,000 universe by Alan Merrett. Witness the end of an era and the beginning of something far darker, as the Heresy continues to unfold.
v. 2
For many years, the pre-history of the Warhammer 40,000 universe has been cloaked in mystery. Now, at last, in these two companion volumes we can reveal the true tale of the dividing of the Imperium, the treachery of the Emperor's most loyal lieutenant, Horus, and the fall of many of the Space Marines under the sway of Chaos. Stunning art and apolcayptic text combine to tell the legend for the very first time. A must for all who want to know more about the dark and sinister past of the Warhammer 40,000 background.
