Echoes of Eternity (Volume 7) (The Horus Heresy: Siege of Terra)

Product Information

The casual brutality of the Warmaster's act galvanised the Emperor as He realised what awaited Mankind under the rule of Horus and the Chaos Gods. Realising at last that His favoured son was truly lost to the corruption of Chaos, the Emperor finally gathered His full and awesome psychic power in the Immaterium and unleashed a lance of pure Warp energy that pierced the gloating Horus' psychic defenses and ripped his body apart. After solar days of bombardment, the Traitor Legions landed on the surface of Terra in Drop Pods and advanced on the two spaceports nearest the location of the Imperial Palace to secure them in preparation for the main landings of the Traitor forces. Faced with certain death before the vast traitor horde, Sanguinius nonetheless organized a defense to try and buy precious time. At dawn the traitors erected the mutilated but still-living loyalist prisoners they had nailed to banners, crosses, vehicles, or whatever else they could find to try and break the spirit of the defenders. Next marched forth the Daughter of Torment, a Reaver Titan of the traitorous Legio Mordaxis. In its Power Claw was the tortured form of Blood Angels Captain Idamas. It issued forth Horus' conditions, that any who fled the coming battle would be granted a pardon by Horus, new Emperor of mankind. Sanguinisu responded with a rousing speech to the defenders, stating that he would stand and fight but all others were free to go where they wished. Inspired or perhaps shamed by the Great Angel, it is believed that no loyalists took the opportunity to leave and instead all present pledged themselves to Sanguinius. The Blood Angels Primarch next took to the skies and behead the Daughter of Torment as battle erupted. [22d]

In some versions of the tale, this blast was only able to pierce the Warmaster's body through the hole that had been made by Sanguinius before his death. Just before Horus died, he looked his father in the eye, shedding a single tear, begging his father to forgive him for his betrayal.The two took to the air, trading blows and battle cries high above the heads of the two forces. Already fatigued from the siege, Sanguinius was cast down by the daemon, pulverising the concrete below upon impact. The Loyalist forces seemed to collectively groan. A subreddit for the lore and stories encompassing the dark future of the Warhammer 40,000 franchise The Imperium of Man had survived the Horus Heresy intact, but would evolve into the bastion of repression and brutality the Emperor had long fought against without His direct, guiding hand upon it.

Warhammer Community - The (Beginning of the) End is Nigh - The Final Siege of Terra Story is RevealedFury of Magnus is the second novella in The Siege of Terra series and is written by Graham McNeill. Of all the Emperor's sons who fell to Chaos, it is perhaps Magnus the Red whose tale is the most tragic. Sanctioned because of his desire for knowledge, chastised, judged, and shattered to his very elements -- there is much for the Crimson King to feel vengeful for. Yet revenge is not the only thing that draws him to Terra alongside the Warmaster Horus' besieging armies. He seeks something, a fragment, the missing piece of himself that lies within the most impregnable place on the planet -- the inner sanctum of the Imperial Palace. As the greatest conflict of the ages reaches fever pitch, Magnus fights his own inner battle. To be whole once more, he must not only overcome the fiercest of defences, but also face the one being whom he loves and hates with equal fervour more than any other -- his errant father, the Emperor of Mankind. Yet, for all its terrible and growing flaws over the next ten millennia, the Imperium would also offer humanity its best and perhaps only hope for survival in an uncaring and increasingly hostile universe.

Dozens of Traitor Titan Legions (including Legio Mortis, Legio Fureans, Legio Tempestus, Legio Vulpa, Legio Damnatus, Legio Magna, and Legio Ursa) The Horus Heresy: Siege of Terra is a novel series which serves as a continuation of the Horus Heresy Series.The following is a complete list of all the titles in the main Horus Heresy: Siege of Terra novels series: The Imperial Fists maintain it was one of their Terminators who challenged Horus, however some see this as a desperate attempt to lessen their collective guilt stemming from the fact that Rogal Dorn never could participate in the fighting. Most savants now agree that it was probably one of the Legio Custodes who interceded, yet the other stories continue to be told and retold over the whole of the Imperium of Man. Looks like the Word Bearers have got more mischief planned. What could possibly go wrong? Quite a lot… With the spaceports secured, Horus' remaining troops of the Traitor Legions and their mortal auxilia and Dark Mechanicum support forces landed en masse, and the hulking transports carried thousands of troops each as well as bringing to the battlefield the terrible Chaos Titans that served the Warmaster's cause and had been possessed by the daemonic entities of Chaos. The transports' immense size made them prime targets for Terra's ground-based Defence Lasers.

Garro: Knight of Grey is the third novella in The Siege of Terra series and is written by James Swallow. As the epic battle for Terra rages and the future of Mankind hangs in the balance, former Knight Errant Nathaniel Garro fights among the ashes and fire of the embattled Imperial Palace as the shadow of Horus Lupercal’s triumph looms. From the brutal betrayal at Isstvan to the desperate flight of the Eisenstein, through his missions as Malcador the Sigillite’s Agentia Primus, Garro’s path has drawn him inexorably towards a destiny that can only end in bloodshed. As he struggles to protect Euphrati Keeler, the first saint of the Imperial Church, from the horrors of this titanic war, Garro must face his greatest enemy -- his father, Mortarion, his former master and the monstrous liege-lord of the traitorous Death Guard -- in a final, shattering confrontation. The following information is not to be regarded as officially sanctioned and/ or is not written from an in-universe point of view. A detailed explanation of the term "Trivia" as used in the Lexicanum can be found here. The siege of Terra following the initial assault on the Imperial Palace lasted for 55 solar days. Both sides knew that the defeat of the Imperium of Man was near after the defence of the Eternity Gate. At dawn Jaghatai's lightning raid caught the Traitor garrison at the spaceport completely by surprise, and reclaimed the spaceport for the Imperium.The victories of Saturnine and the sacrifices of the Eternity Wall spaceport have faded into the hope of yesterday. Denied but not defeated, the traitors intensify their assault on the Imperial Palace. With the principal spaceports in Horus' hands, the Warmaster now drains the heavens of his reserves. The Sky Fortress was used for the defense of the Eternity Gate, not for the retaking of the Lion's Gate Spaceport by Jaghatai Khan.
