Description

The Space Marine Legions of old are dead, torn asunder in the wake of the Horus Heresy. In their place have risen a thousand Chapters, each unique, each carrying the legacy of their founders across the countless battlefields of the Imperium.

The Flesh Tearers spill blood in a war of brutal attrition.

The Emperor's Spears keep a tireless watch where their brothers have fallen.

The Consecrators search the dark places for relics, artefacts of power from the noble past.

The Crimson Fists vow, with bloodied hands, to become Dorn's glorious vanguard once more.

These are the Imperium's bulwark against terror, the Emperor's Angels of Death. Forged from the genetic material of the demigod Primarchs, it is by the might of these Adeptus Astartes that the growing darkness of the galaxy is held at bay - for the Space Marines know no fear.

Lots of fun

Hear about the lesser known defenders of the Imperium and realize that you too can dream up a your own richly detailed and lovingly crafted chapter of psychotic murderous man children (said with 100% sincere love and affection)

Badass Book

Straightforward and entertaining… and you learn a bit about successor chapters… obviously. Worth checking out.

Worth it for Fehevari's story

A mix of good, great and lesser stories. my favourites are McNeill's, Haley's and Fehevari's stories.

Some very good stories in here

There is enough good stuff in this compilation to make it well worth a credit. Especially if you follow any of the authors or storylines and characters present within.

Reads like bad fanfic

This is by far the worst BL book I have listened to thus far. Some 40k fanfic is better.
