Keep tabs on your favorite factions and characters from the worlds of Warhammer with this week’s new release titles.
Lion El’Jonson: Lord of the First
Each primarch is an exemplary being, derived from the Emperor’s own genetic stock to embody a facet of His personality. Their powers are unfathomable, but only one of them is the First. Lion El’Jonson is the paragon of what it is to be a primarch. His Legion, pre-eminent for most of their long history, typify the virtues of temperance, pride, and martial excellency that the Lion embodies. They are the Emperor’s last line and final sanction. They are His Dark Angels.
Now, while the Emperor gathers His mightiest sons for an assault on Ullanor Prime, the Lord of the First instead draws his Legion to the farthest reaches of the known galaxy, seeking to subdue a single rebellious world. Is this but another example of the Lion’s infamous pride, or is there more afoot amidst that graveyard of empires that is the Ghoul Stars, more than the Lion will share even with his own sons?
Written by David Guymer
Sons of Behemat (Audio-Book)
Many are the tales of the Sons of Behemat. Monstrous offspring of an almighty godbeast, these Mega-Gargants trample across the Mortal Realms, destruction following in their wake. Kraken-eater, Gatebreaker, Warstomper – each is a force of nature, and no one who encounters them is left unchanged. On the eve of battle against these immense foes, a group of soldiers recall the horrors they have faced in the warriors’ fearsome presence, even as they prepare to stand against them one final time.
Written by Graeme Lyon. Running time 57 minutes. Performed by Tom Alexander, Beth Chalmers, Steve Conlin, Richard Garotn, Toby Longworth & Richard Reed.
