The third and final sourcebook for the Horus Heresy is a gem. If you are curious about the momentous details of the aftermath of the Isstvan V Dropsite Massacre, as well as the Loyalist-Chaos Astartes conflicts known as the Battle of Phall and the Invasion of Paramar.

This is a sourcebook for the tabletop game, but like many other such sourcebooks it is chock full of information and lore. A detailed description of Isstvan, including the order of battle and maps detailing the trap and a good description of the forces that participated in it.

This is a must-have sourcebook for any fan of the Horus Heresy and the major events of that period.

Absolutely fantastic exploration of the Legions but this time getting the 5th star because we all always want to know how to explain the Alpha Legion to ourselves - what do they mean when they say "I am Alpharius"? Also, there was a mention of what could be taken as a reason for the excommunication of the redacted Legions(!). One question, where is Omegon?
