A Warhammer 40,000 Anthology

In the grim darkness of the far future, the galaxy is ablaze with endless war. Humanity’s Imperium teeters under constant assault—beset by alien predators, corrupted heretics, and the ever-looming shadow of the warp. Every victory is bought with blood, and survival itself is never guaranteed.
