Excellent anthology not strictly about the Primarchs themselves but more on relationships they have with their Legionnaires.

Story of Chtonia was excellent. I have to say that final revelation surprised me a lot, because these are truly modest beginnings for a character in question. On the other hand way Chtonian society lives is truly terrible. I wonder if - when we get Horus' own book - Chtonia will get more spotlight.

Story of Thousand Sons is story of that eternal dilemma - if we know we can do something, should we do it? It is clear that Magnus knows of dangers lurking in the Abyss and while encouraging his warriors to always broaden their knowledge, problem arises when [never question of if] curiosity takes one into spiral towards Hell.

Imperial Fist's commander will find himself wondering if his Primarch might be little bit too cruel when dealing with resistance from worlds not willing to comply to the Imperial commands. It is interesting to see a battle hardened warrior questioning the methods utilized, especially if compliance can be achieved through more standard ways.

Story of Russ is ..... heh, story of Russ, set in the long winter night on Fenris hunting monsters lurking in the dark. Can you imagine it any other way?

Alpha Legion story is fantastic, showing that there is definitely intent behind the Legions, First and last (20th) being armies meant to act as amalgamations of rest of the forces (1st since it was first and had to develop all the concepts of warfare before other Legions came in, 20th because of it very specific purpose). Of course everything told is provided by Twin Primarchs, and who knows if they can ever be trusted.

Final, Death Guard, story is story of finding ones purpose in the world. Mortarion's clarity of purpose comes with the price, not just for him but for his Legion. He says he sees the path clearly and understands fully both what he has become and Emperor and his intentions, but is it so or is Pestilence playing around with him?

What can troops do in this case than endure and soldier on.

Excellent collection, highly recommended to fans of W40K and Horus Heresy in particular. ( )

Three stars is pretty generous. The McNeill and Kyme works are crap, the first messes around with canonity by making Horus' backstory make less sense and make his character less believable. The second is badly written and boring and I gave up. Guymer's story is well-crafted but dull. Andy Clark's is pretty good. Mike Clark's is pointless, which is a shame because I like his Alpha Legion work. Chris Wraight's isn't bad but you need to have read a book that I havne't read in order to understand it. ( )
