A series ends, a story continues
The fifty-fourth book of the Horus Heresy series was released this week.
The Buried Dagger tells the story of how the Death Guard finally fell to chaos.
For those wondering what happened in the first fifty-three books in the series, well, I don’t want to spoil things for you. Here’s my tongue in cheek version:

The story culminates in a scene immortalised in this diorama:
The story hasn’t finished in print yet. A new series, The Siege of Terra, will take over the story and bring it to its conclusion.
If you feel like jumping in now, here’s the book that started it all:

Of course, I’ve got the Ghaunt’s Ghosts series coming up to try. I just can’t seem to make a clean break of it!
