This is an interesting first for Black Library.

Guy Hayley has gone back and rewritten/edited his first novels in the Dark Imperium series so they don’t clash with his Dawn of Fire series too, including (apparently) moving the time setting.

Ive seen this with other authors before but I don’t recall Black Library ever going this route before. Normally when lore changes or timelines clash they just leave it and suggest it’s an evolving thing. It would be interesting if they ever decided to get the first bunch of Horus Heresy novels rewritten to fit the lore as it became.

Will you be reading the updated versions?

Uh so I've been stalking the Wiki for a while and seeing a few of them already I decided to make a homegrown Chapter.

Their name is the Star Hammers and they are an Imperial Fists Successor that was founded during the 5th Founding during the 32nd Millennium. They were originally deployed in the Segmentum Tempestus for the remainder of the 32nd Millennium and most of the 33rd. Towards the end of the 33rd Millennium the Chapter was deployed in the Segmentum Obscurus where they eventually engaged a large Iron Warriors warband on an unknown rocky planet that seemed to once be a Hive or Forge World. Once they entered the system nearly all communication with the outside Galaxy, including the Astronomican, was lost. Leaving only the Star Hammers, and a small Navis Imperialis auxiliary fleet that accompanied the Chapter, as the only Imperial forces aware of the planet's existence.

But soon it came to be realized that the entire world was inhabited by an abnormally large Iron Warrior and Dark Mechanicum presence. As the Star Warriors and their Imperial Navy auxiliaries moved in closer to the planet they came under fire from dozens of Iron Warrior and Dark Mechanicum vessels. Returning fire the Star Hammers launched 6 Companies of the Chapter to the planet below to rid it of the Iron Warriors and Dark Mechanicum while the remaining 4 Companies stayed in the void to conduct boarding operations and defend the Chapter's flagship, the Arx Malleum.

By the end of the war nearly a year later most of the Chapter and Imperial Navy fleet was destroyed including the Arx Malleum which had slammed into the surface of the planet halfway through the conflict. Furthermore only 173 Astartes were still breathing, with most of their vehicles also lost with the only armored vehicles still operational being those clustered around the wreckage of the Arx Malleum consisting of 2 Razorbacks and 1 Deimos Rhino. But, even though the Chapter was devastated it was about to discover something that would change its entire character and the way it conducted warfare in the coming millenia.

Underneath the sundered remained of the Arx Malleum a huge subterranean complex was discovered, after several squads were despatched to find any heretics hiding in it instead they found not heretics, but dozens of now rare weapons, armor, and armored vehicles. Fellblades, Sicarans, Mastodon, Land Raiders, Glaives, Falchions, Volkite Weapons, and Grave Weapons were all found in cavernous garages or armories. Untainted and waiting with all of them left in their factory grey finish. The large Heretic presence was due to attempting to unlocking the huge subterranean armory.

Following this discovery the Chapter decided to make the planet it's home world and began the long conversion process of turning the wreckage of the Arx Malleum into a fortress-monastery while also finally being able to send a voidship back into Imperial space to get the aid of the Adeptus Mechanicus to awaken the Machine Spirits of these long lost ancient war machines.

In the Millennia since the Star Hammers have diverged greatly from the Codex Astartes with the main changes being that the Chapter is abnormally large with about 1200 Battle-Brothers, the Chapter mostly fields oversized Devastator Squads, and the Chapter's Reclusiarch is extremely small while having a larger than usual amount of Techmarines to serve the large tank fleets the Chapter possesses.

Due to the changes the Chapter has favored assaults involving blunt assaults where they hold superior firepower. A consequence of their large arsenal of tanks and powerful weaponry.

By the end of the 41st Millennium with the opening of the Great Rift the Star Hammers are again cut off from the rest of the galaxy fighting back against the hordes of Chaos that spill forth from the galaxy spanning tear in reality.

If there's anything lore breaking or you would like to know more about the Chapter please comment below.

In the current time of the imperium who do you think would order the reconstruction of the astartes legion and how would the chapters react to their gene father ordering such a act?

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS !¡

I had read the summary of the book on a reddit post and well am conflicted about the story and as a whole where the siege is going.

So if any of you who has the book or read the spoilers, please share your thoughts I would very much like to know what others think of Fury of Magnus.

Whats the make speed sub light engines go. For the iom

In your opinion, what should the role of either a company or chapter champion be? Are they emissaries, stand ins, examples, leaders, arbitrators of justice, or a combination of others? Explain your thoughts.

Just feeling nostalgic, that's all.

Is there any artwork or pictures that exist showing the inside of an Imperator or Warmonger class titan.

Anything official from GW or other artists impressions of the command throne room, Akropoliz, plasma reactor plants the Czella, leg bastions or anything else.

Many thanks.

Years ago I enjoyed reading great warhammer comics such as: - Tales of Helbrandt Grim and the adventures of Kal jericho and many other wonderful warhammer creations does anyone know a good place to find these as I would very much like to read them again and if possible some newer ones.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

What causes pain to them truely

By lore, by reliability, and by price. (JK, but do take that into account if you want)

How many Imperial Guard Regiments would a particular planet have? Say a Fuedal or Death World that is an Astartes Homeworld....

I currently have 8 regiments at about 400,000 guardsmen. Should I aim for 10? Half of the regiments are supplementing the Astartes crusade fleet.

Is the new primaris soul drinkers made with dorn's gene seed or their original?

So I figured I would ask the question of what legion is everyone favorite before the horus heresy and what is the main reason that you enjoy them so much ?
