- Ullanor Triumph and the Council of Nikaea
From the ashes of Monarchia through the Ullanor Triumph to the Edict of Nikaea: the Imperium is still celebrating victory, yet it is already choosing a Warmaster, banning combat…
- Davin: The Warmaster’s Wound
The uprising on Davin’s moon, the anathame’s blow, the Serpent Lodge. Horus returns “healed” — and already an enemy of the Imperium. By this point the Warrior Lodges have been…
- The Burning of Prospero
Magnus breaches the Webway, trying to warn the Father about Horus. The Emperor sends Russ; Horus swaps the order. The Thousand Sons perish as a civilisation, the Wolves become…
- The Isstvan III Atrocity
Four Legions land their own loyalists on the pretext of suppressing a rebellion and burn them with the Life-Eater. Garro escapes aboard the Eisenstein. The Heresy becomes open.
- The Drop Site Massacre
Three loyal Legions land against four “open” traitors. The second wave — four “allied” Legions — closes the ring. Ferrus dies; the X/XVIII/XIX cease to be armies.
- The Signus Campaign
The Blood Angels are drawn away from Isstvan into a trap of the warp. Ka’Bandha, the Thirst, the near-fall of the IX. Sanguinius defeats the daemon and does not reach the drop…

The Ruinstorm cuts off the east. Guilliman proclaims a Second Imperium; Sanguinius becomes Imperator Regis — regent-emperor; Guilliman takes for himself the civil authority of…
- The Battle of Molech
Horus takes a world where the Emperor once struck a bargain behind the veil of the warp. House Devine splits apart. The Warmaster emerges with a power that makes him a vessel of…
- The Battle of Beta-Garmon
The threshold of Terra. Years of escalation (from Nyrcon to “Titandeath”) grind down the Titan Legions of both sides. Whoever has lost the field has no right to meet Sol in open…
- The Battle of Tallarn
The Iron Warriors sterilise Tallarn with a virus and get the greatest tank war of the age. Perturabo is looking not for a flag over the desert but for what is hidden beneath it.…
- The Solar War and the Siege of Terra
From the outer spheres of Sol to the Golden Throne: the fall of Pluto and Luna, the plague, the spaceports, Saturnine, Perturabo’s departure, the Eternity Gate, the boarding of…
- The Great Scouring
The counter-offensive after the death of Horus: the traitors are driven towards the Eye, Mars is liberated, Caliban perishes in the Lion’s domestic war, Skalathrax finishes off…
