Lord Commissar Sebastian Yarrick is one of the foremost heroes of the Imperium, with a legend forged in the brutal crucible of battle on Armageddon. But his career didn’t start there. This anthology will give you a full account of his rise to fame. With two full novels and seven short stories, there’s a lot to cover.

READ IT BECAUSE
Few characters in the Imperium are as inspirational as Commissar Yarrick. Famed for his actions on Armageddon and his connection to Ghazghkull Thraka, you can now trace his evolution through stories that give an account of his many deeds.

THE STORY
In Imperial Creed, we meet a young Commissar Yarrick on his first real assignment. He quickly learns that in war, things are not always as they seem, and he must adapt to a rapidly evolving situation as loyalties are tested.

The Pyres of Armageddon takes us to the world of Armageddon, where the largest ork horde seen for centuries has hit the hive world. As battle rages across the planet, Yarrick and his allies will not let Armageddon fall.

In Chains of Golgotha, Commissar Yarrick tracks down Ghazghkull Thraka to the desolate world of Golgotha, leading an armoured company to destroy the beast.

A Plague of Saints takes us to the barren world of Molossus. With the inquisition at his back and a ragged force of rebels before him, Yarrick must discover the cause of an uprising and bring it to an end.

Thrown into battle alongside the charismatic but reckless Captain Marsec, Commissar Yarrick faces a tough decision in The Wreckage. Will he unleash the Emperor’s judgement and risk damaging morale, or trust in Marsec’s ability to lead?

Evil Eye tells the tale of a tortured prisoner protected by a fellow captive on an ork warship. But what manner of man dares to stand up to a mighty ork? Only one man – Commissar Sebastian Yarrick.

In The Gallows Saint, Commissar Yarrick deploys to Abydos to watch a great triumph in honour of the forces who liberated the world from the grip of the alien t’au. But when the planet’s governor is assassinated, Yarrick is drawn into a political game with deadly consequences.

Sacrificial tells of a young Yarrick and the Armageddon Steel Legion facing corrupted cultists on the planet Mistral.

The collection is rounded out with Sarcophagus, as Yarrick is trapped in an overturned tank after being caught in a bombing run on Armageddon. He fights to escape and return to his forces, but as he emerges, he finds himself surrounded by foes.

READ IT BECAUSE
The galaxy is riven by war on a thousand fronts. It is up to the likes of the Astra Militarum, Black Templars, Blood Angels, Space Wolves, and more to fight desperate battles to stem the tide of orks – and worse. Get ready for non-stop action against all odds in 11 short stories, written by fan-favourite Black Library authors.

THE STORY
Planets such as Armageddon are plagued by war. All across the galaxy, the Astra Militarum attempts to maintain control as hordes of enemies invade, plunder, and devour the worlds of Humanity. These brave soldiers fight with little more than their grit and determination, facing down horrific foes.

But mere humans are not always sufficient to halt the tide of enemies. Space Marines of the Ultramarines, Black Templars, Blood Angels, Space Wolves, and Crimson Fists have a proud history of waging war against the orks on planets like Armageddon and beyond, purging the ferocious xenos with bolter and blade.

The post WORLD ABLAZE (HB) appeared first on Carta Magica.

The Kasrkin known as the Tattershields were left alone in the wake of Cadia’s fall. Led by an indomitable sergeant, they fight on despite their bleak situation, facing down Chaos cultists and worse.

READ IT BECAUSE
It’s a grim tale with little hope to be found, but courage is never in short supply. No matter the odds they face, these remnants of Cadia simply refuse to give in. Witness their struggle as they fight against all reason or expectation of success, in a 5-part serial, a short story, and a novella.

THE STORY
They were the best of the best. Now they are all that is left.

When Cadia fell, a handful of traumatised survivors found themselves stranded on a ruined world carved apart by rival cults. Since then, the Kasrkin veterans known as the Tattershields have anchored the crumbling Imperial defence, holding back the overwhelming might of the Archenemy with sabotage, assassinations, and unbreakable discipline. Their commander, Sergeant Kostantin Taikon, is an inspiration to the beleaguered defenders. But he is haunted by guilt and consumed by fatalism, numbly fighting on with no hope of victory or atonement.

The Imperials’ grip on the planet is slipping. Infiltrators sow discord in their ranks, and a sadistic new enemy is bearing down upon them. But when all hope is dead, only defiance remains, and Taikon will lead his indomitable Kasrkin to the bitter end.

Written by William Crowe.

A pair of novels, a novella, and 3 short stories explore the horror of facing orks on the battlefield. Both brutal and kunnin’, these warlike xenos are a constant threat to the Imperium, and everyone else for that matter. Can the Space Marines and Astra Militarum hold them back, or will they be overrun?

READ IT BECAUSE
Top Black Library authors Dan Abnett, Aaron Dembski-Bowden, and Sandy Mitchell showcase their talents in this action-packed collection. The Space Marines and Astra Militarum face off against the green tide on war-torn worlds all across the galaxy.

THE STORY
Unrelenting, ferocious, and proud, orks unleash gleeful carnage as one of the fiercest and most numerous threats ever faced by humanity.

I Am Slaughter by Dan Abnett sees the Imperial Fists leaving Terra for the first time in centuries, and in doing so, encountering a foe far mightier (and… greener?) than they anticipated.

In Sandy Mitchell’s Caves of Ice, Commissar Ciaphas Cain investigates the mysterious disappearances that plague an ice world, but soon finds himself caught between an ork incursion and another evil stirring below.

Helsreach by Aaron Dembski-Bowden follows the Black Templars as they take a last stand to defend Hive Helsreach, whatever the cost.

There are also 3 short stories, one by each of the above authors, about the efforts of the Imperium to hold back the orks.

Can the Space Marines, the Astra Militarum, or even Ciaphas Cain himself be enough to stem the great green tide?

Abandoned by her allies and hunted by the Order of Azyr, master assassin Maleneth Witchblade searches for purpose in a place from her past: Nightcliff, the City of Echoes.

READ IT BECAUSE
Maleneth Witchblade steps out from Gotrek Gurnisson’s shadow in her first full-length solo adventure! Of course, she soon finds other shadows as she sneaks around Nightcliff, seeking to avenge her sisters.

THE STORY
Maleneth’s return to the City of Echoes is not a happy one – Nightcliff has collapsed into violent, decadent debauchery. Khaine himself is usurped, and her precious coven lies in tatters.

Accompanied by an ogor mercenary and a Kharadron anarchist, Maleneth sets out to avenge her sisters, but soon finds herself embroiled in a conspiracy, the ramifications of which threaten not just the city, but the Realm of Shadow itself. To stop it, she must ascend to the blood-soaked summit of Nightcliff’s Bladed Spire, and face an enemy of sky-cracking power before time itself slips out of reach.
