The Fall of Cadia (Mega Limited Edition): $150 (GW Exclusive)
Cadia licks its wounds in the wake of the Thirteenth Black Crusade. The heretic forces retreat on all fronts. The day is won. But Lord Castellan Creed cannot rest easy. Something tells him the assault was a mere prelude to something greater, something more final. He is right. Out of the Eye of Terror comes Abaddon the Despoiler, at the head of a warhost unmatched in scale since the dread days of the Horus Heresy.
In the face of the looming apocalypse, Creed must weld the champions of Cadia into a bulwark capable of withstanding Abaddon’s fury. And in orbit, the Despoiler himself finds his own alliance teetering on a knife edge…
This is a tale told at epic scale, from the tables of high command to the slaughter of the pylon fields, and with a huge cast of characters from self-styled demigods to the rank-and-file foot soldiers of the Imperium.
This is the story of Abaddon’s greatest conquest. This is Cadia’s last stand.

When the flow of desperately needed weapons for the Astra Militarum slows to nothing from a newly founded forge world, there’s only one man able and (un)willing to investigate… Ciaphas Cain, Hero of the Imperium.
With Cain’s desperately sought-after retirement on the line, the Imperium’s most reluctant commissar must navigate insidious assassination attempts against his person, legions of mutinous skitarii, heresy within the upper echelons of the Adeptus Mechanicus itself… and a hidden foe, pulling the strings, with an agenda that could threaten the future of Imperial rule in the Damocles Gulf.
Written by Sandy Mitchell.
Ciaphas Cain is always a fun character to read about, and he actually gets two releases this week!

Ciaphas Cain is a true hero. Brave, stalwart, uncompromising, a cool head under fire… or is he? His legend has spread far and wide, but only Cain himself knows the truth behind his long and storied career.
Until now.
Inquisitor Amberley Vail once more delves into the Cain archive to present a selection of the man’s greatest and strangest exploits. From Cain and the Valhallan 597th hunting down the source of a warp-tainted infection that threatens to overwhelm the world of Lentonia with a starving horde of undead, to his early years with the Valhallan 12th Field Artillery fending off a tyranid invasion on a barren mining world, to the mysterious death of a fellow commissar that sees Cain’s life at risk (once again) as the killer’s attention turns to him…

Transplant. Cadian. Sniper. Legend.
Sergeant Darya Nevic is all of these and more… but behind the stories stands a soldier haunted by the unwelcome fame her successes have brought.
During the Cadian 217th’s assault on the manufactorum world of Attruso, Darya finds herself out of her depth, in a war that is fought with words as much as with weapons. As a fearsome winter closes in and her men begin to die around her, she will be forced to confront her doubts and make an impossible choice – to become the figurehead her soldiers need, or to believe the unimaginable promises of the mysterious t’au.
With the fate of her regiment in her hands, which path will she choose?
Written by Rob Young.
It’s always fun to read about the Imperium fighting different Xenos races, so this should be fun whether you want the Tau to win or the Guard.

Witness the might of the Primaris Space Marines in this bumper edition of novels from the Space Marines Conquests series.
In Fist of the Imperium by Andy Clark, Primaris Librarian Aster Lydorran must use his strength, will, and psychic prowess to uncover a shadowy enemy that preys upon his brothers on the planet of Ghyre.
In Apocalypse by Josh Reynolds, as the Word Bearers threaten to despoil the Ecclesiarchy seat of Almace, Imperial Fists, Raven Guard, and White Scars combine forces to save the world from falling into the hands of Chaos.
And in Ian St. Martin’s Of Honour and Iron, the Dark Imperium beckons, and the Indomitus Crusade has begun – Roboute Guilliman has been resurrected, and his new legions must stop the predations of the Archenemy in order to bring the human race back from the brink of ruin.
In mankind’s darkest hour, as enemies abound and the lines between diplomacy and warfare are ever more blurred, the Space Marines must prevail – for glory and honour.
CONTENTS

When the perfidious t’au bring down a valkyrie containing an Astra Militarum general on the besieged Imperial world of Dasht i-Kevar, all could be lost – what the general knows could break the war effort, and see the planet fall under the control of the vile xenos.
Only the Kasrkin stand a chance at bringing him back. They are the elite of the elite, but the enemy that Captain Bharath Obeysekera and his squad are called upon to fight is unlike any they have faced before – the desert itself, endless and implacable.
With sandstorms cutting them off from support, Obeysekera has only his soldiers to rely on. As the Kasrkin journey deeper into the wastes, they begin to realise they’re not the only hunters searching for the missing general, and that their war has caught the attention of something ancient lurking beneath the desert sands…
Written by Edoardo Albert
