Cypher: Lord of The Fallen (Limited Edition) $65 (GW Exclusive)
As the Great Rift unfolds in the night sky above Terra and daemons walk upon the birth world of mankind, the Primarch Roboute Guilliman returns, heralding a dark new age.
During the breaking storm, Cypher and his band of Fallen escape from the most secure prison in the Imperium. Now loose in the Imperial Palace, they are hunted by warriors of the Dark Angels, forces of the Adeptus Custodes, and Imperial Assassins. But what are Cypher’s intentions? Can anything or anyone be trusted?
Told from Cypher’s own, unreliable point of view, this tale of truth, lies and secrets sees one of the Imperium’s most mysterious figures make war at its very heart. But what are the true motivations of the Lord of the Fallen?
Written by John French.
ABOUT THIS EDITION
This stunning hardcover book bears striking cover art that captures the mysterious nature of its illusive protagonist. The cover includes silver foil details like the eight-pointed star of Chaos on the spine, and inside you’ll find additional full-colour cover art and a black ribbon bookmark. The page edges are coloured light grey, and printed with Cypher’s name in a low-contrast lighter grey. The title page is numbered from 1 to 2,000, and signed by John French.
Cypher is a massive character with huge lore implications making this book a huge thing for those curious about the mysteries around him.
Ahriman: Eternal Retail Price: $16
Doom has come upon the Thousand Sons. A plague of fire and dust stalks the Legion across time and space, born from the sorcerous Rubric that saved them from annihilation and damned them for eternity. One by one, the spirits of the Rubricae are vanishing from the prisons of their armour – and one by one, living sorcerers are cursed to take their place.
Driven by the obsessive need to save his Legion and find redemption, Ahzek Ahriman seeks the time-altering technology of the forgotten necrons to overwrite his past mistakes. Shadowed by aeldari Harlequins, and with secrets and divisions spreading through his forces, the Arch-Sorcerer must find a new path to salvation – before all becomes dust.
Written by John French
Ahriman is a huge Chaos figure, so his lore has a huge ripple effect in the world of Thousand Sons.
Knight of Talassar: The Cato Sicarius Omnibus Retail Price: $18
Master of the Watch, High Suzerain of Ultramar, Knight Champion of Macragge… he, Cato Sicarius, is the bearer of many titles, and his deeds are legendary.
As Captain of the Second Company Ultramarines, Sicarius’ bravery and tactical acumen are second to none. Whether fighting against the brutish greenskin hordes at Black Reach or facing the deathless necron legions in the icy crucible of Damnos, he has proven himself time and again. Each battle is a bitter lesson, with Sicarius emerging changed and scarred – pride giving way to wisdom, arrogance to compassion, as a better leader was forged.
It was in the midst of the warp, with his ship and its entire complement thought lost, prey to the denizens of hell itself, where Cato Sicarius would face his sternest test. Only then, in the darkest hours, would Sicarius discover the true meaning of Courage and Honour.
This omnibus contains two novels, two novellas, and two short stories, all written by Nick Kyme.

– Assault on Black Reach
– Fall of Damnos
