Second Quarter Book Review

I've continued the Warhammer reading festival through Q2, with the following list, in reverse chronological order:

White Dwarf (June)

The Last Hunt - The White Scars 4th Company, the Tulwar Brotherhood, come to an honour world to defend it from the Tyranid hive fleet Cicatrix, and are nearly wiped out but for the help of a Farseer of craftworld Iyanden. In the end they avert a time paradox by heading into the webway in search of their long lost primarch, Jaghatai Khan.

White Dwarf (May)

The Bloodied Rose - Sister Augusta from Mercy returns with her squad to that same cathedral to combat a darker foe there.

Mercy - A squad of Battle Sisters fend of a force of Orks to protect a cathedral near an isolated village.

Requiem Infernal - A Sister of Battle returns on a sort of pilgrimage to her home world to seek medical help for a regiment of Astra Militarum she is attached to. Many strange things are happening on the Candleworld.

Macragge's Honour - The Horus Heresy graphic novel that follows on from the betrayal at Calth.

White Dwarf (Apr)

Blood Oath - A Warhammer World exclusive campaign book for 40K 7th edition. Ultramarines fight off Khornate Daemons on one of the chapter's protectorate worlds.

Legends of the Dark Millennium: Astra Militarum - A lot of novellas and shorts starring Commissar Yarrik, Colonel Straken, and Lord Castellan Creed. I really enjoyed all of these.

White Dwarf (Mar)

The Solar War - The first book of the Siege of Terra series, capping off the Horus Heresy mega-series. The story of how the Traitor Legions fought their way from outside the Solar system to Terra's orbit.

A Company of Shadows - Severina Raine leads a force against a witch cult

Endurance - A Space Marine falls to Nurgle

White Dwarf (Feb)

Vigilus Ablaze shorts - vignettes about Vigilus now as a war zone

Shadowspear shorts - stories highlighting the forces of Chaos about to attack Vigilus

Vigilus Defiant shorts - peeks into life on the Imperial world of Vigilus as it becomes the center of a giant conflict
