Warning Spoilers Ahead

In this episode, we dive into Treacheries of the Space Marines, an anthology from Black Library edited by Christian Dunn, where tales of rivalry, ambition, and betrayal among Chaos Space Marine Legions take center stage. Set during the dark times of the Horus Heresy, these stories reveal the brutal power struggles and unholy alliances that shape the Chaos Legions.

We begin with a volatile gathering of the Iron Warriors, Night Lords, and Word Bearers, where leaders boast of their bloody victories until tensions boil over into a violent confrontation. Next, we explore a deadly encounter between the Night Lords and the Imperial Navy, as the former use a warp vortex to infiltrate the Molianis System. The anthology also brings us to Bellum Colonia, where the Iron Warriors, armed with daemon-engines and a traitor Titan, lay siege to an Imperial fortress. Finally, we delve into a clash between the Word Bearers and Death Guard, with the taint of Nurgle hanging over a chaotic bid to seize a relic from the Death Guard’s vessel, Vox Dominus.
