Cypher: Lord of the Fallen (Warhammer 40,000) [Hardcover] French, John

Product Information

As the Unforgiven attempted to flush out their prize, Cypher made good his escape before the Deathwing could reach him. It was their hope that the Deathwing could draw out and destroy the Ork Warboss Zogax da Great before the Space Marines were overwhelmed by the green tide. There, in the shadows of their stone fortresses, peasants could hack clear patches out of the encroaching woodlands and eke out a living through farming.

In this paranoid atmosphere, the surviving Dark Angels debated their options even as they paid tribute to their lost primarch. The grim realisation that the Space Marines –- the ultimate warriors of Humankind –- had proven vulnerable to corruption was a severe shock.Imagine said Psyker, digging in her heels, and quoting a long-due contract for one particular Renegade Astartes the Assassin Temple has been several MILLENNIA behind fulfilling. Not even Marbas, who alone of the Fallen has been raised to a Daemon Prince, is regarded with such rage.

They’ll also be chatting about the next stage of 2023’s Armies on Parade, which is themed around Supreme Command. Now loose in the Imperial Palace, they are hunted by warriors of the Dark Angels, forces of the Adeptus Custodes, and Imperial Assassins. Regardless of whether other factions arrive to ask questions, the Dark Angels always follow the trail.However, this is unlikely, as this Lord Cypher was an ally of the Watchers in the Dark and an enemy of Chaos, whereas the Knights of Lupus sought to preserve the Chaos-tainted Great Beasts of Caliban and books from their library contributed to Luther's fall to Chaos. Cypher seldom instigates the violent acts that invariably occur when he is present; it is rather that he seems to act as a catalyst, fanning the hatred and mistrust of those around him into a raging fire. Yet, in the midst of all this, a Dark Angels vessel has somehow followed a lead (remember, Guilliman directly teleported/Webwayed to the MOON, how in the fuck did the Dark Angels track him better than Magnus unless Tzeench shenanigans is involved). Each of the Dark Angels' Grand Master of Librarians has, in successive turns, tried to wring meaning out of those ancient parchments. Since that time, the elusive Fallen known as Cypher has been on the run, eluding capture for nearly ten thousand standard years.

At this point, if the Fallen were not Tzeentchian ploys, and by extension, the Dark Angels, I would not be surprised. These individuals who did not join the betrayal are not named, but seem to have begun the fighting before the Dark Angels' fleet appeared in orbit. On the most promising trails, the Unforgiven will attempt to get one of their Librarians close to the quarry, for they can employ the most damning method of testing. On Warhammer Community, we’ll have reveals for three different games**, more details of Vashtorr and the impact he can have both on and off the battlefield, and plenty more besides. This tale of truth and lies – told from Cypher’s unreliable point of view – will be available first as a luxurious limited edition hardback that’s limited to just 2,000 signed and numbered copies.Over the millennia, Cypher's trail has, time and again, led the Unforgiven Chapters to some new revelation. To travel the paths between the disparate fortifications of Human society was to invite almost certain death. He came to his position as a mortal human, but became a Dark Angels Astartes during the recruitment period that followed the Imperium's discovery of Caliban. It is a paradox how, within a span of only fifty years, Cypher’s deeds could result in the slaying of the evil and corrupt Warlord Favian the Golden of the Flawless Host, as well as the stout and loyal Bartholomew Loxlor, Supreme Grand Master of the Angels of Absolution. Battle raged as the Unforgiven razed den after den of Cultists, mutants and renegades –- always pressing more deeply into the wasteland continents of both planets.
