The Blessing of Iron, by Anthony Reynolds and the Memory of Flesh, by Matthew Farrer

[Karak Norn Clansman]

These two short stories from the Black Library form an Iron Hands narrative revolving around the Chapter's servitors, seen through the eyes of Veteran-Sergeant Dolmech:

 

The Blessing of Iron, by Anthony Reynolds

 

The Memory of Flesh, by Matthew Farrer

 

Published in 2012, they both make for short but sweet reads, and are both wonderfully bonkers in the 40k way. Warmly recommended. Farrer's penmanship is especially suited for the weird story playing out.

 

Have you read them? What did you think?

Spoiler warning: You can by the way find a background story based on them (and the Horus Heresy novella Cybernetica) here on B&C in case of interest.
