They shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best them in battle.
They will be untouched by plague or disease no sickness shall blight them. In great armor I shall clad them and with the mightiest weapons shall they be armed. They shall be of iron will and steely sinew. Like clay I shall mold them and in the furnace of war I shall forge them. 'They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give of themselves to me. Astartes Space Marines: bio-engineered immortal warriors, to fight the foes of the universe till the end of time and reunite the lost branches of humanity throughout space. Known Primarchs: Horus, *warmaster*, Luna Wolves Leman Russ, Space Wolves Ferrus Manus, Iron Hands Fulgrim, Emperor's Children Vulkan, Salamanders Rogal Dorn, Imperial Fists Roboute Guilliman, Ultramarines Magnus the Red, Thousand Sons Sanguinius, Blood Angels Lion El'Jonson, Dark Angels Perturabo, Iron Warriors Mortarion, Death Guard Lorgar, Word Bearers Jaghatai Khan, White Scars Konrad Curze, Night Lords Angron, World Eaters Corvus Corax, Raven Guard Alpharius Omegon, Alpha Legion 3. Astartes Space Marines were 7-8 feet tall about 150% bigger/ bulkier than humans. And bigger/ bulkier than the Astartes Space Marine they lead. They were intended to be the immortal and superhuman leaders who would command the Emperor's 20 'Astartes' Space Marine Legions and find and reunite the lost branches of humanity throughout space as well as bring all worlds and peoples into compliance, that is under one ruler, the Emperor. Made in his likeness and created for war. The Primarchs, created by the Emperor, were the 20 genetically-engineered trans-human sons of the Emperor of Mankind. The Emperor of Mankind: A immortal human, given power beyond any being in the universe, by powers beyond space and time, serves as the ruling monarch of the Imperium of Man. In the far distant future mankind has spread across the universe and many branches of humanity have been lost for 1000's of years.
There is politics and religion, honor, deception and tragedy in space, but mostly war. War against aliens, orks, demons and more. Even if you do not know anything about the board games, video games and warhammer universe, these are great books and fun reads. I suggest atleast the first 4 audio books to get started, then you can decide from there were to go next, there are a ton of good books in this universe. Great combo, the next few books are also great and even better on audio. Narrated by Toby Longworth, I really like his range of voice and they fit well with all these heroes and heroines.
Thank you Black Library for coming to Audible! Dan Abnett is really good at building this universe and character depth. The Heresy Begins! Great Start to A Great Series!
