L'Imperium est cerné par des horreurs. Des xéno-espèces trop nombreuses pour qu'on les dénombre veulent notre destruction. Ce n'est qu'en décrivant et en nommant ces prédateurs que l'humanité aura une chance de survie. Et cela m'incombe de par les circonstances, ou peut-être la volonté divine. Moi, le Capitaine Janus Draik, libre-marchand et aîné de la Maison Draik, je me dois de codifier la myriade de menaces contre nous. Dans les étendues les plus occidentales de la galaxie, j'ai bravé les tréfonds obscurs de la Forteresse Noire et les repaires de Precipice, sa plate-forme orbitale livrée à l'anarchie. À force d'explorer cet environnement traître, j'ai exhumé des faits qu'ignorent les plus grands érudits de Terra. C'est là, dans le premier ouvrage exhaustif de xénologie de la galaxie, que j'ai dressé le portrait sans fard de notre terrifiant ennemi.

The God-King’s champion battles his foes for the first time. Amongst all of the Stormhosts, none are more vaunted than the Hammers of Sigmar. In the shadow of the Nomad City, the mettle of the Stormbound is tested the battle to sanctify the Crucible of Blood, a gateway to Chaos and madness. Within the ranks of the Stormcast Eternals, there is one who is greater than all others. He is the Celestant-Prime. For centuries he slumbered, until the great hammer of Sigmar, Ghal Maraz, was returned. But a warrior born must still be tempered, and so unto the swamps of Krahl does Sigmar cast his scion to destroy a powerful creature called the Prismatic King.

Blood Angels Chief Librarian Mephiston ventures to a war-torn shrine world to uncover the truth about the mysterious Blade Petrific. The shrine world of Divinatus Prime has become lost to the light of the Astronomican and no ship can piece its veil. Only the Lord of Death himself, Blood Angels Chief Librarian Mephiston, has any hope of discerning the fate of this once pious world. After enacting a powerful blood ritual, Mephiston and an honour guard of his fellow Blood Angels reach the stricken shrine world to find it seized by a religious civil war. Each faction fights for dominance of a potent artefact, the Blade Petrific, said to be wrought by the Emperor Himself. Yet there is more at work here than a mere ideological schism, for Mephiston believes Divinatus Prime could offer answers to how he became the Lord of Death by resisting the Black Rage, and possibly even a way to end the curse of ‘the Flaw’ in all Blood Angels.
