Description

As one of the many staging grounds for the forces serving in the Great Crusade, the verdant world of Tallarn has long served as a transfer point for the personnel and war machines of the Imperial Army. Now, destroyed by a deadly virus-bomb attack launched by the battered Iron Warriors fleet, the entire world is reduced to a toxic wasteland where the survivors must fight to defend what little remains of their home. The remnants of the once mighty Jurnian 701st armoured regiment emerge from their underground shelters, and the opening movements of the Battle of Tallarn begin... even as more clandestine powers seek to manipulate events on both sides of the conflict.

Read it because
This novella tells the story of the opening of what will become the largest tank battle in Imperial history. This story includes a poignantly tragic glimpse at the paradise world of Tallarn, before the blow that turned the planet into a apocalyptic wasteland, and the grim conditions the survivors are faced with in the aftermath.

    I've purchased dozens of books from Black Library but I'm done. This pricing is ridiculous. I'll pay a fair price but this is insulting. I'll read it elsewhere.

    Seriously guys could we have more full books of major horus heresy events instead of ridiculously price short stories.

    You cannot continue to gauge your readers like this. This is an absurd price for not even 200 pages.

    These prices are ridiculous. I've been a loyal reader for years but a dime a page is too much.

    C'mon Black Library! I love all things Warhammer 40K, but I can't continue to support this gouging. The first 10 and last 20 pages probably won't even be related tovthe story.
