They were the Shield of Humanity, the Hammer that struck down the greatest and most terrible foes of Mankind. Their mandate came from Malcador the Hero himself, and in their bodies were geneseed crafted from the genome of the Emperor of Mankind himself. 

He was Rhamiel of the 2nd Broth...

AN: This chapter was pretty fun to write, hope you guys will like it.

I stood amidst the two hundred slumbering Storm Wardens, taking my time to pick and choose the most interesting pieces of equipment they had on them. The Lock-Warden had a hexagrammatically warded body-suit unde...

Humans were sometimes so stupid and self-destructive. Had all the regular humans in the world of Spite just all lain down, got comfortable and allowed my spore-cloud to lull them to sleep, none of them would have died. But no, they had to be competent enough to be forewarned of the threat, and st...

In all honesty, Lorgath Maclir was rather hopeful. Not in victory, that would be impossible unless the God-Emperor himself descended to smite his enemy. No, he was hopeful that he could make taking the world of Spite a pyrrhic victory for the xenos and the traitors. He would make them bleed for e...

“Let’s pack up and go solve this little issue,” I said, clapping my hands as if to dust it off as I turned away from the latest Watch Station I had just ambushed. It was named Bellom because it floated in the Bellom system, around the planet Bellom. Creative, I know. It had probably been pl...

Holy Terra, the birthplace of Mankind. Amberley had only been to the planet twice, and while the Imperial Palace and the headquarters of the other great organisations of the Imperium were absolutely majestic, the rest of the planet … was not so much. It was said that the last drop of water had ...

“Alright, gang, the fun's over!” I announced with a clap and a grin, making my voice echo in the ears of my three fellow humanoids. “Time to wrap this up and get to doing what we actually came here for, and of course, by that I mean I’m going to get to work and you get to sit bac...

There were as many different methodologies, approaches and styles in the Holy Orders of the Emperor's Inquisition as there are specific Inquisitors. Still, they could, nonetheless, be slotted into categories, or rather, paradigms. Depending on the Ordo they were parts of, which faction they were ...

Mia had prepared for the pain. She knew magic could hurt her even in this — Wisp — form, but she didn’t have time for anything else. Stupidly, she didn’t have her trusty Arcane Shield spell ready to cast as she usually did in combat situations, nor did she have a Lesser Ward to protect he...

Octavian delivered on his promise of information about all the players of the Jericho Reach, with a focus on any of the more dangerous and secretive outposts of the Imperium in the sector. It was just about the only part of our agreement that he’d been able to deliver on so soon. Calling off th...

Sparkle found himself with an overwhelming need for distractions, for something to occupy himself with. As heartwarming as watching his Bond cuddle her partner was, he wasn't the type to sit still and just be. He needed action, and if not that, then something interesting to satisfy his c...

AN: I usually try not to write the same scene from different POVs, as that makes for boring reading most of the time, but I felt like the last chapter and the one before it deserved it. (Also, sorry for the late upload, I was binge-reading and then suddenly it was '18:12'. Oopsie...

“This is …,” Mia started, trailing off as she couldn’t find a word that accurately described the situation Brent laid out after returning from his debrief. 

“Fucked,” Mark said. “The word you are looking for is fucked, both the situation and us. We are well and t...

AN: Hello there, it was a bit of a surprise, but I got the opportunity to join in on a short 3-day vacation to Prague the next weekend (Nov 7-9), and so I'll have to cancel the chapter that's supposed to go live that Saturday (The next chapter after this one comes out on Wednesda...

I got the name of the planet Cain had last seen Octavian at from his head. I had a Navigator’s map of the Jericho Reach in my head already, having extracted it from the minds of the Navigators in Tetrarchus’ fleet, but I double checked it in the mind of the Navigator that ferried Cain’s gro...

Mia woke up the next morning with a smile, feeling the warm rays of the sun caress her cheeks and the warmth of her girlfriend’s body still embracing her. Camie was snoring softly, her fingers curled into the hem of Mia’s PJ shirt, and a leg thrown over Mia’s. 

The girl was a cud...

“I object,” I said, arms crossed as I stared at the Tau faces before me, taking up the entire wall like a hundred little floating heads. “I won’t stop you, but I want you to know that this is stupid. You have read the reports on Sebasticor Ebongrave, you’ve been fighting the man for dec...

Void Krakens were fascinating creatures. The interesting part began with the fact that ‘Void Kraken’ didn’t refer to a single species; it was merely a catch-...

Mia retreated into the far back of the group with Camie, with her back against the wall. Sparkle was further back, watching the soldiers closest to Mia for any sign of being a bit too jumpy or prone to getting trigger-happy. 

Mia didn’t like their chances against the soldiers, they h...

Octavian Gaius, Custodian Guard of the Emperor of Mankind, stepped into the dingy little bar hidden away in a back alley. He barely graced the two patrons with a glance, making sure they were inconsequential. The barkeep looked up, his eyes widening before he glanced towards the stairs leading up...

Ciaphas Cain, Hero of the Imperium, celebrated patriot, exemplar of Commissars everywhere, was considering whether he should have just stayed a tunnel rat in the bellows of the Hive City that birthed him. 

It would have been a horrible life, and he likely would have died many, many...
