Cynic Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 If this has been asked before, apologies. Does anyone know if Bill King's short story on the final confrontation between Horus and the Emperor has been republished? I remember reading it somewhere, but don't know if it has been released in a compilation by Black Library. Help anyone?

The 13th Goat Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Nah, Lee Lighter republished an update thou, like they did to his space wolf series. It read: "...the Emperor ran in to find one bajillion deamons facing him, with Horus at its head. Bending his arm back, he launched his sword like a spear, sending it hurtling into Horus. As the demonic energy left him and he slumped to the ground, Horus with breif clarity knew that the galaxy would be safe with the Emperor in charge. As the Emperor watch his son die, the door behind swung open... "I'm coming father!" screamed Dorn, boltgun roaring to life and filling the air with hot metal. As the bolt slowly burrowed into his head, the Emperor's last thought flowed as thus... Oh for F*@% sake....

Lay Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 It was reprinted in a few White Dwarfs over the years. I don't recall the issue numbers though. Also, the final duel described in the Horus Heresy artbooks is very close to Bill King's story.

Cynic Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 Cheers Karrious, that's pretty much what I was looking for. Thanks to all; it had occured to me that I had seen it before the Horus Heresy: collected visions book, but I'm damned if I can remember where.
