Synopsis

An Iron Warriors story After his failed assault on Ultramar, Warsmith Honsou of the Iron Warriors makes his way back to the Eye of Terror… on an Ultramarines vessel? READ IT BECAUSE It continues Honsou's story after the momentous events of The Chapter's Due and teases what may be to come for the wily Warsmith… THE STORY Plying the slow, ponderous void-routes through the backways of Ultramar, the funeral ship Shendao heads for a cemetery world with its cargo of the dead. Recent wars have left the warp in an eerily calm state and yet, inexplicably, an intruder emerges from the shadows of the vessel’s undercroft. What could a renegade Iron Warrior like Warsmith Honsou want from the Shendao, enough to face the Space Marines of the Ultramarines Chapter alone?
