Well it is not case here. Main protagonists in this story are Alpha legionnaires, Unsung war-band. And man, they are truly an echo (of sorts) from years past. Being heretic marines, they do come into contact with the Warp and its creatures but they keep tot he maxim of Alpha Legion - never to succumb to the Dark Gods and their promises. While acting as mercenary band it is visible that beliefs of Alpha legionnaires are very different from other traitor legions. I truly wonder where will these stories about post-Heresy Alpha Legion take us to.
And what to say about Unsung - kick ass outfit for sure :) We first find them on the planet-turned-arena, Bloodforge, where they got stranded and then for years bested any Chaos troops and champions and killed them all off. This brought them to attention of Emperors Children who decides to use them in quest on world of Tsandrekha with goal to capture the Imperial beacon, only light remaining in the sector after rift from Chaos infested space threw the shroud of night across it. Thrown into fray Alpha's will show their martial prowess and their specific approach to warfare while fighting both Imperial forces and Khorne berserkers led by Kharn. Author manages to show the raw bestiality of World Eaters and Khorne's Warp creatures and the sheer desperation of Imperial forces while defending the hive cities against these berserker hordes. This is also time of introduction of Primaris Space Marines in greater numbers and it was funny to watch Alpha's coming toe to toe with them.
I wont go into any more details here because I do not want to spoil the story for others but considering that story spans several days of heavy combat on Tsandrekha characters got fleshed out pretty good on all sides. Ending is executed in a way that we might expect more Unsung adventures in the future (which I personally I just cannot wait for :)).
Highly recommended.… (meer)
