Saga Astartes

Les Adeptus Astartes, aussi connu sous le nom de Space Marines, sont l’ultime force militaire de l’Imperium. Soldats aux compétences exceptionnelles, ils sont envoyés au cœur des conflits lorsque n’importe quelle armée constituée d’hommes ne pourrait jamais réussir.

Un Space Marine équivaut à bien des hommes en réalité, de part sa carrure, son endurance, mais aussi son esprit militaire et précis. Son absence de peur, et sa volonté de servir au nom de l’Empereur en fait une arme parfaite pour l’Imperium. Pourtant ces êtres ont déjà ébranlés les fondations de l’Imperium lors de l’Hérésie d’Horus et la guerre fait maintenant rage dans toute de la galaxie.

The Caged Wolf (couverture originale)

The Caged Wolf

The thirtieth Great Hunt is over, and all the Great Companies except one have returned to the Fang – Logan Grimnar and the Champions of Fenris are unaccounted for. As the Fang readies itself for attack by the forces of Chaos, Ulrik the Slayer takes a taskforce to the Eastern Fringe, Logan Grimnar’s last known location. Here, on a dead world in orbit around a dying star, the Space Wolves find themselves pitted against an unexpected enemy – the Tau.
Feast of Lies (couverture originale)

Feast of Lies

After a Great Hunt, the Space Wolves return to the Fang to regale each other with tales of their glory. Only Logan Grimnar is absent. When a native tribesman speaks up in his stead and tells of how the Great Wolf has discovered the dead body of Leman Russ, there is uproar. Do they dare believe this vile rumour, what is the fate of Logan Grimnar and why has he not returned? As a quest is begun to find their missing lord, it falls to Ulrik the Slayer and Krom Dragonsgaze to discern the truth amidst the feast of lies.
The Hunt for Magnus (couverture originale)

The Hunt for Magnus

It is the end of the thirty-second millennium. For two thousand years, since the fall of Prospero, the Space Wolves have hunted their greatest foe, the quarry who escaped them on that benighted world: Magnus the Red, sorcerer-primarch of the Thousand Sons. Now, Great Wolf Harek Ironhelm has the traitor primarch’s scent... Determined to finish what Leman Russ began, Ironhelm sets out to capture and kill his prey, and the Hunt for Magnus begins.
The World Engine (couverture originale)

The World Engine

For months, the World Engine has blazed a trail across the Vidar sector, destroying planets and devastating every fleet sent to destroy it. Now, the Astral Knights Space Marine Chapter enact a daring plan to get to the heart of the mighty edifice and bring it to an end. Crashing their battle-barge into the Wolrd Engine, they land upon its surface, seeking its heart. Confronted by sinister necrons, the fate of the Astral Knights hangs in the balance, along with the lives of untold billions.
2.5/5

Nouvelle déception pour une série en dents de scie. The World Engine n'a rien à offrir et est une opportunité ratée de voir un Chapitre méconnu comme les Astral Knights s'opposer aux nouveaux Nécrons.

A Son's Burden (couverture originale)

A Son's Burden

The Blood Angels call for aid, and the Flesh Tearers answer, but Gabriel Seth’s warriors are already engaged in battle against traitorous cultists on the dark world of Nekkaris. As Seth and Chaplain Appollus prepare to leave for the Cryptus system, Sergeant Eschiros and his Scout squad fight behind enemy lines, unaware of the almighty sacrifice they may soon have to make.
Trial by Blood (couverture originale)

Trial by Blood

Gabriel Seth is on trial for his life, and for the very existence of his Chapter. The Flesh Tearers, scions of Sanguinius and cousins to the noble Blood Angels, stand accused of deviancy and brutality beyond that which can be tolerated. As Seth recounts his history of defending the Imperium, his judges – the Masters of other Blood Angels Successor Chapters – must decide the fate of the Flesh Tearers.
3.5/5

Difficile de noter un roman qui mérite ses 5 étoiles pour les lecteurs ne connaissant pas le travail d'Andy Smillie, mais qui sent le réchauffer pour les autres. Pourtant, inclure le jugement de Seth fut vraiment une riche idée, mais les plus détracteurs d'entre-vous ne se satisferon...

The Tranzia Rebellion - Episode 13 (couverture originale)

The Tranzia Rebellion - Episode 13

10min
The final showdown between the Doom Eagles, with their Adepta Sororitas allies, and Ahriman takes place aboard the crashed eldar craftworld. If they fail, a world will be lost and the Chaos sorcerer will achieve his dearest dream – to enter the webway. And even if they succeed, their chances of survival are minimal…

The Tranzia Rebellion c'est un peu comme un film érotique dans lequel la Black Library aurait retiré toutes les scènes intéressantes. On nous tease depuis 12 épisodes les mouchoirs à la main, avant de nous offrir un final expédié pour faute de moyen car les acteurs bossent sur d'autr...

The Tranzia Rebellion - Episode 12

9min
The truth of the war becomes clear, as the ruins of a crashed eldar craftworld are revealed and the true enemy comes closer to his goal of using it to enter the Black Library. Meanwhile, Mekatus and Jearna achieve their mission – at great cost – and Chapter Master Hearon closes on his new foe, intent upon stopping his evil plan.
1/5

On aurait pu croire à une dernière chance, mais c'est sans compter le viol systématique du fluff et l'incohérence inhérente de l’œuvre. Cet avant-dernier épisode devait être un boost final à suspens mais échoue une nouvelle fois. C'est l'effet d'un poignard que l'...
