Renegades Of The Long War

by Anthony Reynolds, Ian St. Martin, Rob Sanders

A Chaos Space Marines Omnibus

The Long War has raged for 10,000 years, and the traitorous champions of the World Eaters, Emperor’s Children, and Alpha Legion have been fighting in it without pause.

READ IT BECAUSE
There are many paths to damnation, and these novels explore just a few of them, chronicling the exploits of notorious renegades from the Traitor Legions.

THE STORY
Insidious is the allure of Chaos. Power, revenge, immortality… the road to damnation is paved with such false promises, and none who have trod this path are as infamous as the Heretic Astartes. They are the Chaos Space Marines, once noble warriors who rebelled against the Emperor, embracing the darkness in their desire for strength, and in turn becoming its slaves.

They are champions of corruption, wrath and perversion, the foremost warriors of the Dark Gods, and in battle they have few equals. Forever fighting the so-called ‘Long War’, they will not rest until reality itself collapses, plunging the galaxy into a hellish realm of which there is no escape.

Lucius: The Faultless Blade by Ian St Martin

Sons of the Hydra by Rob Sanders

[Bea O · Rating 4 out of 5]

My first Chaos book and definitely a great starting point.

The first book and the short story is fantastic.

The second one is quite confusing because of the timeline but ultimately a good read.

The third on is overall good too.

Definitely a great omnibus for anyone wanting to dip their toe into Chaos novels.

It's definitely not for a light stomach, but I absolutely loved the treatments on Lucius' personality. A lot of good baroque-fight scenes with pure Chaos shenanigans. 10/10 Finally glad to be getting quality content for my fruity pink knights~

Really enjoyed this anthology of Emperor's Children, World Eaters, and Alpha Legion characters. If you are a fan of Chaos Space Marines, you'll know going in that there are no true happy endings though.

A good collection of stories that delves into the depths of the Traitor Legions...
