Best Warhammer 40,000 Books About൲ The Horus Heresy
The Horus🐼 Heresy is one of Warhammer 40K's 🍸biggest events. Here are some of the best books that revolve around it.
Still yet, longtime fans of 40K will notice some hidden details here and there. From important names, some not-so-fun realit🙈ies of the Imperium Of Man, and perhaps even hints at where the series is going next. Here are some things only fans of the 40K lore may have noticed.
9 Servitors
Not The Ideal Job
In between missions, you can wander around the Ultramarine's ship, which also works as the game's hub. It's not just a plac♓e for you to check your loadouts and customize your armor though, because it's crawling with little bits of lore.
One of the more poignant on the ship is the various servitors. They used to be normal humans, now lobotomized and upgraded with mechanical parts to do menial tasks for🃏 the Imperium. You see them hauling weapons, cleaning, and usually meandering throughout the decks of the ship.
You can also see more rudimentary ones on the planets as door locks and even circuit breakers, since ꦑthe Imperium has a phobia of artificial intelligence.
8 Deathwatch Legions 🎀
Cousins In Arms
In the introductory level, you are shown a group of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Deathwatch space marines on a task to halt the tyranid invasion📖 for a time. The big reveal of the mission is that the unknown Deathwatch member you play as is Titus.
But, fans will also🌳 note the other members of the Deathwatch squad and the legions they hail from. Of note, there is a Dark Angels member and a Space Wolf that are confirmed, but keen eyes may pick out signs of the other squads' original chapters too.
7 The Necron Tomb Wo📖rld ꦗ
A Sleeping Enemy
In the last missions of the game, as you go under the planet's surface to hunt for the tec💎h priest, there are some pretty sinister hints at who else called that planeওt home before. The game outright references these necrons, but longtime fans know how deadly they really are.
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nearly ♊immortal, and wielding powerful technology, it makes sense🍷 for the Mechanicus to want to investigate them. You see various hieroglyphs and even a few Tomb Stalkers/Sentinels lying about. But, how much are they involved in this warp-based technology?
6 🤪 Homage To Earlier Art ﷺ
Stand Your Ground
There are pꦫlenty of themes that consistently appear throughout the lore and media of Warhammer 40K, such as the concept of a space marine's last stand.
This is something that has appeared in videos, books, and even a few different pieces of art in 40k: a group of space marines hoisting꧅ their banner high as they take on an overwhelming enemy force. Just like T𓃲itus and the Ulramarines did against the chaos army
5 Dre🉐adnought Preparations
Praise The Machine God
Betweᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚen some of the earlier missions you will see various parts of the ship in action, notably various cargo moving around and tech-priests attending to things. One such preparation they are making is getting the dreadnought you see in later levels ready.
The space marine inside is 🧸kept in a stasis sleep until🎉 he is needed for combat. Waking him up and then outfitting him with a dreadnought body is a delicate procedure and takes time, as seen through the various mid-mission discussions the priests are having.
4 Titus' Room
It Ain't Much
Every so often after a mission, players will find Titus back in his room. This actually holds two pieces of lore for fans of the series. The first is the incredibly spartan setti💃ngs that spa♛ce marines live in day to day. But, they aren't made to relax.
The second is Titus' original chainsword that now sits on the wall as a relic of battle. With new🐭 weaponry, the battered old chainsword has probably seen its final days of fighting, but it's still nice to remember it.
3 A Missinꦗg Primarch ☂
Where Is The Cyclops?
After 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Thousand Sons make an appearanc🐈e, the fighting picks up. Daemons⛎, rubric marines, and even chaos sorcerers all take the field to try and stop Titus and the Ultramarines from achieving their goals.

For when you don't want to stop dominating.
But someone is missing. Pointed out by the rather angry Ultramarines dreadnought, the Thousand Sons' primarch, Magnus, is not on the battlefield. This isn't abn🧔ormal, since he only appears in person during the most prolific of battles, but it make🎶s fans wonder how important this technology is to the Sons.
2 🐽 𒀰 Sanguinius Statue
A Fallen Angel
Sharp eyes may have noticed a large statue in the distance of the mission where you have to save Leuze from the tyranids attacking the building he is locked inside. This angelic figure is a🌱ctually an important person in the 40k lore.
It is none other than Sanguinius, the now-deceased primarch of the Blood Angels loyalist space marine legion. It is odd �ꦓ�that it is not mentioned at all in the campaign, which makes one wonder what connection the Blood Angels have to those planets.
It could be as simple as the Blood A꧑ngels or a successor chapter has protected the planet previously, or that they pick from the people there to fill their roster.
1 The Curse Of The Th🃏ousand Sons ♏
All Is Dust
An interesting enemy, The Thousand Sons are a chaos space marine legion w🐷ith plenty of secrets up their sleeves. While they often have plenty of foul sorcery to throw at Titus, they aren't as strong a threat as they could be.
Upon killing them,𝐆 you may have realized they don't bleed, instead they spew gouts of dust. This is due to a spell cast upon them by one of their own sorcerers to try and cure the effects of the warp 🦩on them. Instead, it turned most of the legion into walking husks of armor filled with dust.
