Keep tabs on your favorite factions and characters from the worlds of Warhammer with this week’s new release titles.
Primarch Alpharius: Head of The Hyrda (Hardback)
Legends abound of the glorious – or infamous – deeds of the Emperor’s sons. Yet almost nothing is known of Alpharius, the most mysterious of them all, for the Lord of the Alpha Legion is unparalleled in the art of obfuscation. Such are his gifts of secrecy and deceit that even his rediscovery has remained an enigma – until now. But when the tale comes from the serpent’s mouth, where do the lies end and the truth begin?
Written by Mike Brooks
The Lost And The Damned (Paperback)
On the thirteenth day of Secundus, the bombardment of Terra began. With the solar defences overcome through the devastating strength of the Traitor armada and the power of the warp, Horus launches his assault on the Throneworld in earnest. After withstanding a ferocious barrage of ordnance, an immense ground war commences outside the Palace with every inch gained paid for in the lives of billions. The front lines are beyond horrific and the very air is reduced to poison and blood. Bodies are thrown into the meat grinder but the outer redoubts cannot possibly hold for long, even with the loyal primarchs to reinforce them, for Horus has his own generals to call upon. Between the plague weapons of Mortarion and the fury of Angron, the defenders face a losing battle.
Written by Guy Haley
Ahriman: Sorcerer (Audiobook)
As the psyker searches for a cure to the curse he levied upon his Legion, can he come to terms with the thought that perhaps it was flawed from the very beginning?
These upcoming Black Library releases are going to be a must-have for all you lore hounds out there. Score them today!
The Imperial Palace Map Webstore Exclusive
This full colour map measures 594mm x 420mm – that’s A2 for those of you in the UK looking for a frame for it. It comes wrapped in a vinyl map roll to keep it safe. This also allows you to unroll it like the precious artefact that it is.
The map itself displays a stylised image of the Imperial Palace in its entirety, along with the Dark Mechanicum slave camps that Horus established around the Palace perimeter. There’s also a study of the Helios Gate in detail, with the defensive perimeters established by Rogal Dorn all marked.
