Angels of Death

While Ancaeus' surviving warriors follow Castia's Servitors through the under-tunnels of Niades, the Tech-priest explains her plan to the paralysed Captain Orpheo. High above them, in the inner sanctum of the Siren Tower, the Genestealer Cult's Magus tells her brood-kin the hour of their ascension is nigh.

The Blood Angels, reunited with Captain Orpheo, ascend to the heart of the cult's corruption - and in doing so, call down the wrath of the Magus. Meanwhile, the Primus leads hordes of cultists to surround the Sons of Sanguinius. Aboard the Sword of Baal, Livia will do anything necessary to ensure the cult cannot take her ship - even if that means destroying it. Yet even now, perhaps Techmarine Hadrael offers a slim hope of redemption...

The battle for Niades reaches its epic climax as Ancaeus, Kazarion and Orpheo confront the leaders of the Genestealer Cult. Can even the courage of the Sons of Sanguinius hope to overcome the monstrous might of the Patriarch? Even if they can, all will be for naught if Hadrael and Ignis cannot free the Sword of Baal from the orbital dock and stop the flotilla ships from spreading the curse of Niades to other worlds...

n the cult's chambers high up in the Siren Tower, the surviving Blood Angels count the cost of their war with the cult. They are soon joined by Magos Dominus Castia-Theta-9, who offers them a chance to escape Niades.
