Delve in to the dark world of the Chaos Warbands in this great value Warhammer 40,000 Omnibus. 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 Renegades, once noble warriors who have rebelled against the Throne and the Emperor to embrace darkness, who out of a desire for strength have become slaves to darkness. They are champions of corruption, of 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 hell-realm of which there is no escape. This omnibus contains the novels Lucius: The Faultless Blade, Khârn: Eater of Worlds, Sons of the Hydra and an additional short story.
