A Primarch Will Rise!

Rise of the Primarch brings the Gathering Storm’s pilgrims to Macragge and restores Guilliman to a galaxy he scarcely recognises. The preview outlines the concluding supplement’s story, army options and missions, and places the resurrection within the devastation following the fall of Cadia.

The Triumvirate of the Primarch

Guilliman, Grand Master Voldus and Cypher form an unlikely trio of new plastic characters. Close-ups explain the Primarch’s life-support armour and interchangeable heads, Voldus’s hammer and tomes, and Cypher’s ancient equipment; a route map follows the Terran Crusade through Ultramar, the Maelstrom and Luna.
