Angron: The Red Angel Special Edition $75 (GW Exclusive)
In the darkness of Imperium Nihilus, across half a million worlds cut off from the dim light of Holy Terra, a beacon is lit. The Red Angel returns to an unsteady galaxy and his scattered sons heed the call to slaughter. Aboard the World Eaters’ flagship, Kossolax the Foresworn, self-appointed lord regent of the XII, fights to keep the old dreams of the Legion alive, but finds the return of his hated father both an opportunity and a threat to the warriors’ fragile unity.
Marooned on a worthless moon with a rag-tag band of traitors as despicable as himself, Ortan Leidis of the Angels of the Grail dares to dream of something greater.
Half a galaxy away, Graucis Telomane of the Grey Knights has been readying himself for this day, and plans six centuries in the making are finally set in motion – plans that will see the eradication of the Emperor’s greatest mistake once and for all…
Written by David Guymer.
This book also includes the short story, It Bleeds, by the same author.

Renegades of the Long War Retail Price: $18
Insidious is the allure of Chaos. Power, revenge, immortality… the road to damnation is paved with such false promises, and none who have trod this path are as infamous as the Heretic Astartes. They are the Chaos Space Marines, once noble warriors who rebelled against the Emperor, embracing the darkness in their desire for strength, and in turn becoming its slaves.
They are champions of corruption, wrath and perversion, the foremost warriors of the Dark Gods, and in battle they have few equals. Forever fighting the so-called ‘Long War’, they will not rest until reality itself collapses, plunging the galaxy into a hellish realm of which there is no escape.
This book contains the following three novels:
– Lucius: The Faultless Blade by Ian St. Martin
– Khârn: Eater of Worlds by Anthony Reynolds
– Sons of the Hydra by Rob Sanders
Also includes is the short story Lucius: Pride and Fall by Ian St. Martin

Unholy: Tales of Horror and Woe from the Imperium Retail Price: $18
Amidst the bloody wars, fanatical cults, and mad tyrants of the Imperium, there lurks a far quieter horror. Valgaast is an entity that compels and corrupts. Darker than the pits of hell, incomprehensible as death, it seeps into the hearts and minds of those weakened by misfortune.
A premature heiress grieving the loss of her family. A bleak man of faith with unquenchable desires. A woman whose broken memories replay terrible violence. A little town left to rot in a sun-scorched wasteland. Such victims are easy prey for a being like Valgaast – and through its malicious intent, they are pushed to their very limits.
CONTENTS
– The Oubliette by J C Stearns
– Sepulturum by Nick Kyme
– The Deacon of Wounds by David Annandale
– The Bookkeeper’s Skull by Justin D Hill
Explore some darker stories on the side of the ‘good guys’ in these interesting tales.
Blackhearts: The Omnibus Retail Price: $18
Sentenced to death for their crimes, Reiner Hetzau and his fellow prisoners are given a choice – they can either submit to execution, or work for the very people that have imprisoned them. Forced to carry out the most desperate and suicidal secret missions, all for the good of the Empire, the Blackhearts must overcome Chaos cultists, ratmen, dark elves, rogue army commanders and more. Time and again these rogues are pitted against impossible odds and survive, yet cannot have what they most desire – their freedom.
Contents
– Valnir’s Bane
– The Broken Lance
– Tainted Blood
– Short stories Rotten Fruit and Hetzau’s Follies
Written by Nathan Long
Omnibus books are usually pretty great, especially if you like the story and want it all in one place!
