Cadia, the long-standing symbol of Imperial defiance against the relentlessly encroaching tides of Chaos, has fallen to the fury of Abaddon’s Thirteenth Black Crusade. Craftworld Biel-Tan has been shattered, along with the dreams of their restoration to prominence.

Rise of the Primarch should have been the best thing since since sliced bread, instead this galaxy changing story reads like an uninspired Dungeons and Dragons story.
A rag tag band of adventurers who happen to be overpowered, survive impossible odds, an Inquisitor, Black Templars, Saint Celestine, a Tech priest who all go and meet some of the most infamous and powerful people in the galaxy and change the fate of the universe.... They are literally a D&D Party, its not even subtle! Heck, the...more

Every ending has a beginning. It's an often repeated message but quite an accurate one, and it seems to be the mantra Games Workshop has been repeating while working on this project. Even as Cadia itself was torn asunder, the company was visibly making a massive push to enforce massive changes on the Imperium's side, and the company hasn't exactly been keeping quiet about this. This was clear even in Abaddon's moment of triumph, and the brief interlude to look into the world of the eldar did not...more

ADDENDA INQUISITORIA ASTRAL MISSIVE (BESTIALIS AGGRESSOR) <> My Lady Inquisitor, I have compiled a chronicle of sightings and reports. I must stress to you once again that the full body of accounts rune-locked within this dataslate make for impossible reading. You of all people must surely be aware of the malefic dissonance plaguing communication. They say that the storms rage from Oberica to the Eastern Fringe, and with every convulsion of the Immaterium, messages will be interrupted, reports conflated, and errors made. It is simply impossible that the Beast of Armageddon could be sighted in so many localities at once! To suggest that he has progressed so quickly from one Segmentum to the next? To claim that he leads a fleet in excess of five million warships, or that ‘leering Orkoid faces manifest in the void, avidly watching their progress’? Nonsense! It cannot have been the same Ork that led the attack upon the Drakenfyr System, and overran the Chapter planet of the Knights Obstinate. Those actions were divided, as best we can tell, by mere weeks! Valion’s Tear? Red Reach? Modexia? To claim that one mindless brute was responsible for all of these Imperial defeats is, at best, deluded excuse-smithing. Thus I urge you once more to discard this needless investigation and to concentrate your efforts upon those threats that we know to be real. But of course, I do so only with the greatest respect, my Lady Inquisitor. Your servant, Arch-Scrivener First Class and Etchmaster of the Gilded Quill, Allouicious Dunt

**We scribe a tale of bloodshed and woe, my mentor. A tragedy is wrought.**
**The priestess and her warriors may yet bring us victory. A thousand grav-craft are still in the field. Were it only the spawn of the sea of sorrows that we fought, victory would be ours.**
**The black pylons are not all that languishes upon Thenicali. The ghosts of the Necrontyr rise.**
**It was our hatred that fanned these flames. We landed in the valley of statues and swept the Daemons aside. We fought in the shadows of the pylons, with the Ynnari at our head. The foe could not prevail…**
**The chasms lit with green fire. Perhaps the old foe sought common cause with us? They fired only upon the Daemons, until we fired upon them. Had we but offered a chance to stand at our side, as Yvraine urged… Autarch Kaerathael directed the Engines of Vaul to fire upon the Necron engines rising from the chasm. We are beset, now, upon two sides. The bodies pile higher. The ground cracks and heaves, and the pylons sing their last lament.**
**I fear otherwise, Cthelain. But we shall fight. Until the very end, we shall fight…**
