Product Description
Genetically engineered superhumans, the Space Marines protect the human Imperium. The Soul Drinkers have served the Emperor for thousands of years, but their obsessive desire to retrieve an ancient relic throws them into conflict with those they are honour-bound to obey. Will they back down, or rebel to forge a new destiny for themselves? It would be Sarpedon's first full command, and he knew there was a risk. If the Adeptus Mechanicus fought, there could be terrible bloodshed, and if that happened not all his battle-brothers would return. But even if such an unthinkable thing happened, the Soul Drinkers would fight on, acquit themselves with honour, and win back the Soulspear. No matter what, there would always be hope that the insult would be redressed, that the affair would be put behind them and Sarpedon could return to the Soul Drinkers flagship with the Soulspear in hand. As Daenyathos wrote: 'when all is darkness and every way out is lined with blood and lit with the fires of battle, there is still hope.'
