Shield of Baal

Space Marine Battles

by Joshua Reynolds (Contributor), Braden Campbell (Contributor), Joe Parrino (Contributor)

The Blood Angels Space Marines must defend their home world from the ravenous threat of the tyranid Hive Fleet Leviathan.

A tendril of Hive Fleet Leviathan has reached the Cryptus shieldworlds. The Imperium musters its strength, for the aliens must be stopped here, as next in the hive fleet’s path is the home world of the Blood Angels Space Marines, Baal itself. Many are the battlefields and the price of victory is steep… On Phodia, the sons of Sanguinius give battle to the dreaded Spawn of Cryptus. At Lysios, the Adepta Sororitas and Tempestus Scions hold the line against Leviathan. Far from the fighting, Blood Angels Sergeant Jatiel finds himself pitted against another threat, the necrons of Anrakyr the Traveller who may yet have a crucial impact on the greater war.

Reviews

[David Allen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolute must read.

[Rob · Rating 3 out of 5]

One good story, one mediocre story, one poor story.

[Zaphied · Rating 3 out of 5]

A nice little anthology of loosely connected short stories featuring Blood Angels. And Tyranids. Sisters of Battle and Grey Knights also cameo guest star.

[Sasha · Rating 3 out of 5]

A collection of 3 short stories. Tempestus, Deathstorm and Devourer.

Tempestus was the best of the 3. However they are each so short and the stories for them dont feel completed.
