I am needed elsewhere. That thought crossed the mind of Lady Serillian for the hundredth time as she moved stealthily through the catacombs beneath the shrine world of Celestius. Ork, Tau, Necron—so many threats to deal with. Hunting down the leader of an illicit cult is the work […]
Keeping the adobe buildings to her right, Lady Serillian ran forward, her band of Inquisition stormtroopers following close behind. From her earpiece, she could hear her assistant, Donala, issuing orders to the stormtroopers that were part of his strike team. His tactics were sound; his orders clear and […]
The stormtroopers open fire from the alleys and second-floor windows on the western side of the main street, and several Grots and an ork fall to the ground. The orks roar a war cry and rush forward, shooting from the hip. Their fire is incredibly inaccurate, and the […]
One failing in the ongoing defense of Hegira is the paucity of disruptive raids aimed at the ork leadership and the xenos’ logistic capacity. If more attention had been paid to this years ago, perhaps the greenskin threat would not now include an industrial base that can produce […]
There was little light this deep in the underhive. More than 100 meters underground, most of the level’s illumination panels had long ago failed, and it appeared that the area’s environmental controls were in no better shape. A thick mist hung in the air. Bounty hunter Jason Scarn […]
After watching one of his mercenaries shot down as he tried to cross a walkway, Scarn muttered a series of curses that would have made a veteran guardsman blush. He was stalemated, and he could only imagine how his bitch Inquisitor would respond if this rescue attempt failed. […]
As a bounty hunter, Jason Scarn had fought many large, dangerous men. Yet, as he tugged at the restraints on his wrists, he had to admit: The bruisers who work for the Inquisition were in a class of their own. He’d not even seen the man approach—a tough […]
An Inquisitor of the Ordo Xenos, the Lady Georgene Serillian is the senior representative of her Ordo in the Corvus Cluster—and a calculating and ruthless opponent to all enemies of the Imperium. Unlike more Puritan-minded members of her order, Serillian has no personal animosity toward xenos and recognizes […]
“We are withdrawing. Hostile xeno forces are in pursuit. Prepare shuttle for immediate takeoff, and anticipate enemy attack. ETA is five minutes … the Emperor protects.”—Transmission from Inquisition agent Adonai Drusus, Dryilian IV, 6 687 737.M41. Background Investigating an apparent xeno attack on Outpost DY732, orbiting over Dryilian […]
Jason Scarn is a brutish, cold-hearted, but talented bounty hunter who has lately come to the attention of the Inquisition. Born on the planet Toroth in 701.M41, Scarn grew up in the shanties that perched precariously on the slag piles that surrounded Manufactorum #823, a pollution-spewing factory complex […]
