Hello all! So with the knowledge I would be getting my grubby little mits on a copy of the Warmaster for Christmas I decided to embark on a read through of the whole Sabbat World Crusade, I am currently ploughing through Honour Guard. With the exception of a couple of stories from the Sabbat Worlds and Sabbat Crusade collections I have managed to piece together a chronological reading order (using Dan's forewords to the LE versions of books 1-3 and stories in both collections as well as the Sabbat World Crusade background book). Thought it might be useful for people who may want to do something similar, although it would be great to put the missing shorts in to the order as well - I don't think there is anything like this on here? If there are any inaccuracies please let me know and I'll amend the order. @DukeLeto69 I think you've done something similar over at the Bolthole but not sure if it was in one collated post. One last thing, as above I haven't read Warmaster yet so for the love of all that you hold fething dearly; no spoilers please! The Fissure - 251.M41 (Sabbat Crusade) A Ghost Return - 755.M41 (SC) The Headstone and the Hammerstone Kings - 757.M41 (SW) The Inheritor King - 757.M41 (SC) Regicide – 765.M41 (Sabbat World) First and Only - 767.M41 Ghostmaker - 768.M41 Of Their Lives in the Ruins of Their Cities - 768.M41 (Sabbat World) [set on Voltemand, immediately after chapter 2 of Ghostmaker] Necropolis - 769.M41 In Remembrance – 769.M41 (included in Necropolis LE) A Good Man – 769.M41 (SW) Honour Guard – 770-771.M41 The Guns of Tanith – 772.M41 Straight Silver – 772.M41 Double Eagle – 773.M41 Apostle’s Creed – 773.M41 (SW) Sabbat Martyr – 773.M41 Traitor General – 774.M41 Blueblood – 774.M41 (SW) Tempest – 775.M41 (SC) His Last Command – 776.M41 Armour of Contempt – 777.M41 Son of Sek – 777.M41 (SC) Only in Death – 778.M41 The Iron Star – 778.M41 (SW) Titanicus – 779.M41 Blood Pact – 780.M41 Salvations Reach – 781.M41 Family – 782.M41 (SC) Viduity – 782.M41 (SC) You Never Know – 782.M41 (SC) Ghosts and Bad Shadows – 782.M41 (SC) Forgotten – 782.M41 [don't think this has been published anywhere else other than the BL website] Killbox - 782.M41 [bL website & Warmaster LE] The Blood Bound – 782.M41 (SC) The Deeper Wounds – 782.M41 (SC) Arnogaur – 782.M41 (SC) Warmaster Urdesh – forthcoming Space Marine battles book (or equivalent) by Matthew Farrer Anarch - being written now! That leaves one story left to place by my reckoning: Cell by Nik Vincent in Sabbat Crusade – set on a world similar to Geron and features similar concepts as those in Traitor General.If there are any that I missed, please let me know. Cheers, RFD **Edit** updated list to include Killbox and place the Matt Farrer stories in order,. ***Edit*** switched Family and Viduity round to be accurate narratively speaking.

Alexandros Darshan VonSalim hissed with pain as the Eskut magi pried off the last melted steel from his body. Apothecaries, in white and purple, stepped forward to see to his health. Molten adamantium criss-crossed over his bare, muscled chest. A lesser being may have gone into shock from the pain alone, but Alexandros was a Primarch, one of eighteen exemplary creations of science and war. This wound would not end his life. “My lord,” Zhivka, the Legion’s ranking apothecary, began. “We will have to operate. I could prepare a number of sedatives-“ Alexandros offered a pained grin. “Unless you have nerith on hand, there’s not much point.” The downside of having enhanced regeneration. Alexandros feared very few toxins, but could not benefit from tranquilisers. “I have my own methods. Begin immediately.” Another downside to enhanced regeneration. Skin was swiftly growing around the solidified metal. The apothecaries would have to cut into their Primarch before they could remove the adamantium. The longer they too, the more they would cut. As Alexandros laid his head down, closing his green eyes, he called upon his impressive mental powers. To a degree, pain was illusory. It may travel through nerve cells, but all pain had to be allowed by the mind to register. Alexandros placed a mental wall between himself and the pain as the surgeons cut into his body. Instead, he locked himself within his own mind to pore over his newest orders. His being was already spoken for. He was to travel to the Qarith home world to play a small part in their necessary extinction. With such a small role, he would have to choose among his battalions a mere few to accompany him. The rest would be divided between those that required rest and those ready for the next battlefield. He immersed himself in this task, until a dim awareness alerted him of Zhika’s success. He steadily rose back to physical reality, finding recent pain already dulling before his body’s impressive self-healing. There were advantages of being a Primarch Alexandros would never complain about.
