Realm of Battle: Castellum Stronghold

December 2013·p. 149

THE SHORT VERSION

Blake Spence creates a large fortified tile for Marine Legions. Its landing pad can accommodate a Thunderhawk. Battlements surround a base imagined as rapidly deployed from orbit. The preview connects the terrain’s physical scale to the Legion’s need for an immediate operating position.

Visions of Heresy

Alan Merrett revises and expands the illustrated account of the Heresy. Two leather-bound volumes gather more than four hundred pages of narrative and art. New connections reflect the developing novel series. Adam sees the paintings as the principal attraction while the revised history offers clues even to readers familiar with the earlier collection.

Macragge’s Honour

The Ultramarines pursue Kor Phaeron after the betrayal at Calth. Dan Abnett and Neil Roberts tell the ship battle through a graphic novel. Atmospheric bridges give way to violent boarding actions involving hundreds of Marines. Adam praises both the speed of the narrative and the minute details within Roberts’s artwork.

Erebus and Kor Phaeron

Edgar Skomorowski depicts the pair together on an Isstvan V display base. Erebus embodies the influence that led Lorgar and Horus towards Chaos. Kor Phaeron’s adapted Terminator armour accommodates a gene-enhanced mortal rather than an ordinary Space Marine. The review connects their individual appearances to their shared role in the Legion’s corruption.
