Same with the limited/collector's edition stuff. A minor complaint, really.
*edit*
Also, WOW. What a difference a helm makes with the Sanguinary Priest. I love it.

Day 17: The Value of Fear.
![]()
The Story:
The Raven Guard under Corax continue to gather all leaderless loyalists to their banner, determined to take the fight to Horus and his heretics. In the industrial nightmare of the underhive, the XIXth Legion receive a lesson in terror tactics from the most unlikely of allies – the Night Lords...
Read it because:
The Night Lords are often seen as the dark mirror of the noble Raven Guard, but how much of that is true? Are these two Legions poles apart, or closer than any within the XIX would dare admit...
I have no high hopes on Gav Thorpe as I haven't been impressed by his Raven Guard-stories since Raven's Flight. This does however sound like an interesting premiss. Don't disappoint me now. I wouldn't trust many to deal with Night Lords outside of ADB.

You noticed that too huh, they do look about 100x better with those helmets. It's about time we got a badass Apothecary model.

I wonder if ADB has a contribution to the Advent-series. I would have loved to see his story be connected with the Black LEgion-series. GW last product looks like its BL-related on the marking at least.

Looks like today is an audiobook about 'Emperor Sanguinius' and Azkaellon by Andy Smillie
I wonder whose's origin it is thats mentioned in the blurb. Doesnt sound like its Azkaellon himself, but Amit perhaps since Andy also runs the Flesh Tearers?

Day 18: Herald of Sanguinius.
![]()
The Story:
Crowned as the new Emperor of Imperium Secundus, Sanguinius of the Blood Angels faces the very real threat of betrayal from within his new realm. As ever, it falls to his Sanguinary Guard to protect the primarch, and Commander Azkaellon must resort to the most dire of measures...
Listen to it because:
Not only is this story a fascinating glimpse into the mind of the Blood Angels Primarch, it also shines light on the origins of another well known character in the history of the IX Legion...

I would almost guess Amit considering the author. I'm surprised it wasn't James Swallow who wrote this, but I can imagine since his let-down with the Fear to Tread, he isn't allowed near the HH-Blood Angels. I'm carefully optimsitic about it. I didn't like the narrator that much.

Day 19: Holder of the Keys.
![]()
The Story:
One of the Fallen, the Dark Angels who betrayed their oaths and turned on their brothers, relives his past under the psychic interrogation of Chief Librarian Ezekiel. But with treachery and falsehood in his nature, nothing the Fallen says can be trusted – does Ezekiel hold the key to unlocking the truth and discovering the warrior’s role in the fall of Caliban?
Listen to it because:
Half truths, rituals of mistrust and layers of deception – it could only be a new Dark Angels story from Gav Thorpe. Is this a glimpse into the fabled fall of ancient Caliban, or just a pack of lies from a deranged madman? You'll have to listen and decide for yourself.

Grim Psychic Might:
The Librarians of the Dark Angels possess wills of iron. They use their sinister psychic discipline of interromancy to spread fear and panic through the enemy's ranks, while simultaneously tearing free the darkest secrets of their foes. A single such psychic warrior is fearsome enough, but an entire conclave led by none other than Grand Master Ezekiel himself is a living weapon that can change the fate of a whole war zone.

Here's hoping for a Cabal of Sorcerers dataslate some day for Chaos Sorcerers. I imagine every Sorcerer's attacks will get the Soul Blaze and FEAR USR:biggrin:.

Day 20: The Dread Sentinels of Dorn.
![]()
The Story:
Investigating the silence of a distant star fort, the Imperial Fists are attacked by the monstrous tyranids. With their ship in danger, the Space Marines enact a dangerous boarding action into the heart of the xenos bioship, seeking to rip the heart from the aliens and save the world below.
Read it because:
Usually, its hordes of tyranids that invade humanity's Space Hulks - well now the tables have turned. It's Space Marine against xenos monster in the depths of space - will the Imperial Fists succeed in their mission to destroy the hive ship, or have they just volunteered themselves as appetiser for the forthcoming invasion?
To be honest they could have skipped dread in the titel and it would have sounded way better. But with the premis of this story, it doesn't get me interested at all. Also they should perhaps have gone with a different cover since it displays Imperial Fists VS. Iron Warriors, which to me would have been way more interesting to read about.
