The new edition of Warhammer 40,000 shifts the narrative lens far away from the Arks of Omen and towards the galactic west, where the true immensity of Hive Fleet Leviathan is revealed. The people of the fortress world Regium are plagued by nightmares of ravenous creatures that Lieutenant Castamon of the Ultramarines 1st Company recognises as the signs of an impending Tyranid invasion, though even he has no idea of the scale of the oncoming catastrophe.
Leviathan by Darius Hinks is the tie-in novel for the new edition, presented in a lavish Special Edition limited to 2,000 copies signed and numbered by the author, each book features a blue leather-effect cover with half-face portraits of a Space Marine Lieutenant and a Tyranid, a lilac ribbon bookmark, and lilac page edges.
If you are especially excited about the 10th edition, then read up on the story in style with this limited edition!
Leviathan (GW Link) Retail Price: $30
‘The dream…. it is a portent… of the end.’
The fortress world of Regium has a proud history, For millennia, it has endured when others have fallen to ruin and damnation, standing defiant in defence of the Imperium of Man. But now it is shaken. Parasitic plagues run rampant, and Regium’s citizens are haunted by dreams of horrific monsters feasting upon their flesh and marrow.
Lieutenant Castamon of the Ultramarines recognises these signs of an impending Tyranid invasion all too well. Rallying his warriors, the battle-hardened veteran launches a strike force to slaughter the xenos in the outer system, before it can reach Regium. But as this new tendril of Hive Fleet Leviathan proves unpredictable and deadly, Castamon and the First Company must harness all their skill, might, and zeal, or face utter annihilation.
Written by Darius Hinks
