[Sequel to 'Renegade']
Successfully routing a potential Chaos invasion and a Genestealer takeover of the Shrine World of Cosperan, Caius once again turns his attention to Hepharion and pursues him off planet. Surprisingly aided by the fallen Faustinius, their key to unlocking the entirety of Project Apocalypsis Dominus lies in a sealed data cache, and it is a race against time to unseal it before Hepharion does so with the cache that he himself is in possession of.

Armed with a location - the planet of Novrasa - the Astartes of the Twentieth, Deathwatch Squad Ostentia, and the few survivors of the Cosperan Crusade set off for its sister, the paradise world of Orphis, to begin a plan to get to the uninhabited ghost planet. With a newly refreshed Bahad as their psyker, they feel on equal footing with Hepharion for the first time. 

However, things are not always what they seem, and the long reaching shadow of Novrasa and Apocalypsis Dominus might hold more danger than any of them yet realize.

Imperium (Aquila, Book 2) by Ulthwe

[Sequel to 'Aquila'] Following the routing of the Chaos Marine Hepharion and his warband on the planet of Pelamon, Caius and the Ultramarines of the 20th Tactical Squad make a hasty dash for the outpost world of Alamarri VIII in an attempt to save their brothers of the Imperial Fist who have been fortifying the world under mysterious orders from the Adeptus Administratum and the Adeptus Mechanicus. Aided by Nuadan and his dwindling squad of Asuryani, Caius sets out to try and stop Hepharion and his warband before they claim another world while protecting the Titan heart salvaged from Polemeca while waiting for an Adeptus Mechanicus vessel to take it to Mars. Arriving on Alamarri, they meet Captain Finn Varis of the Imperial Fists and the Forward Engineering Battalion who reveal that the situation might be far more complicated than they would ever imagine as a series of ancient Eldar webway gates are discovered beneath the fortress. Hepharion's interest in the planet could be more threatening than they could possibly imagine. --- STORIES IN THE SERIES: 0. 'Farseer Falling' - Completed 1. 'Aquila' - Completed 2.

Son of Russ by DanielBrock2

Brother Sergeant Bjorn Ironwulf and his Teminators of squad Silvermane are preparing to teleport into a hostile battlefield to face the World Eaters. The reports had began coming in nearly a month ago; the traitors of the World Eaters Legion, and their cultist followers, had invaded the industrial world of Agammar VII. Bjorn and his brothers would be part of the first wave; they would get in, distract the foe and send the signal for the second wave to advance. The teleportation technology, however, is the most...fickle of anything else in the Emperor's arsenal. Many are the stories of squads being lost to the warp. Can Bjorn and his squad save Agammar VII from the depredations of the traitor legion? Or will the last thing they hear be the laughter of dark gods as their souls are devoured by daemons? *The cover is not mine wyb?

Renegade (Aquila, Book 3) by Ulthwe

[Sequel to 'Imperium'] Following the successful defense of Alamarri and the sudden withdrawal of Hepharion's Chaos Marines, Caius returned to Macragge in time to see the return of his Primarch and receive a new mission from his Captain: find Hepharion and bring him down, no matter the cost, and chase down and secure the remains of the ancient Titan project. At first, resources seem scarce with the Black Crusade taking much of the attention and firepower of the Ultramarines. However, help comes in an unexpected form when an Inquisitor's acolyte appears with an unexpected offer for the men of the Twentieth. Across the stars, Bahad is called before the Council of Farseers of his Craftworld and desperately pleads his case for his alliance with Caius and his hunt for Hepharion. However, this falls on deaf ears when the Craftworld, concerned about his continued association with the Imperium, orders him into a temporary arrest to await further judgment. While in isolation, plagued by his visions of what shall happen without his involvement, he, too, receives an unexpected visitor: a Harlequin Solitaire with a keen interest on seeing him reunited with his Ultramarine. As the two friends journey forth, their paths lead them to one another once again and to the planet of Cosperan, home to a Black Templar Crusade and the most recent spot where Hepharion's Warband was spotted. --- STORIES IN THE SERIES: 0.

The Paragons by SilentSword1010

~PARAGON CINEMATIC UNIVERSE: PHASE 1, BOOK 6~ *This novel serves as the culmination of all five PCU novels that have come before it, and it is the 6th and final novel of Phase 1 of the PCU. You will get the most out of it if you've read all of them first, but the important parts of their stories will still briefly be touched on.* "We will assimilate this planet.....and bring every single one of these miserable insects under our thrall. None shall stand in our way." -Malcorchus, King of the Shimmering Plane The Viper. Dr. Duncan Drevis. The Crawler. Nightclaw. Powerhouse. And Coldsnap, the Harbinger of Ice. Within the span of just two years, these six superheroes have risen up to defend the country from crime, and protecting the innocent wherever they may be. They have all gained a reputation amongst their communities, and the lawbreakers scatter at the mention of their names. All seems well, but a grave threat looms on the horizon. Malcorchus, the King of the Shimmering Plane, seeking revenge for the deaths of Nic'qura and the Opulent, has concocted a dangerous scheme to unleash the full might of the Shimmering Plane and its forces onto the planet, in a bid for world domination. His ultimate goal is the complete and total assimilation of Earth into the Shimmering Plane, and should he succeed.....it could be the end of existence as we know it. However, there is hope. The mysterious figure known as Giorgio Carlisle has been hard at work contacting all of the superheroes who have recently risen to prominence, in the hopes of getting them to work together against this new, interdimensional threat. Now, with them being called to action, it's up to them to join forces and fight Malcorchus and his team of returning villains to save the planet.....and perhaps also find out the true reason why the king wishes to destroy everything that humanity holds dear.

Wyrmling Ascendant by schtoff

He should've died in the mud on Gethsemane. But fate has crueler plans. Ryder was just a trench-rat conscript, thrown into the meat grinder of a dying world. He survived through grit, blood, and the company of monsters-Astartes warriors who saw something in him worth saving... or weaponising. Now, reforged by the Flesh Tearers and tempered in war, he wears black. Deathwatch black. But brotherhood is earned in blood, not gifted. Haunted by what he was, hunted by what he might become, Ryder fights not for glory, but for the right to call himself Astartes. The kill tally grows. The scars run deep. And the Rage-always there-scratches behind the eyes. This isn't a tale of heroes. It's the making of a monster who chose to fight for something more. And the galaxy will remember the name: Wyrmling. Book 3 in my Deathwatch series

The Iron Seraph by RedImperium

It was supposed to be an ordinary strike mission. Get in, kill the xenos, liberate the human captives, and get out. But that was not what happened. Sergeant Adrian Aurelius embarked in a drop pod, alone; ready to make planetfall. But mysterious phenomena propelled the Astartes onto a planet that was not the intended target... nor within the system the battle was taking place... Neither was it within the same galaxy. This story follows his adventures in this new world, as he is forced to adapt to the environment around him... and whatever else it may contain.

Hunters in the dark by schtoff

An Imperial world lost to silence. A xenos threat beyond imagining. And one Guardsman who dared to stand among gods. In the wake of the Great Rift, Gethsemane Prime vanishes from the Imperium's light. Vox-relays fall. Colonies go dark. From the blackness between stars, a Tyranid splinter-fleet descends-a hunger made manifest. Answering the desperate call are the Deathwatch: elite xenos-hunters drawn from the finest Space Marine Chapters. Among them walks Garran, a Flesh Tearer forged in blood; Tyras, a chaplain whose sermons burn like fire; and Titus, an Ultramarine touched by something even the Warp cannot see. But in the dying trenches of Gethsemane, it is not only Astartes who fight. Elias Ryder, a teenage conscript with no right to survive, will face the unthinkable-and become more than mortal. As the Deathwatch descend into the heart of the Hive, hunted by monsters from beyond the stars and the veil, a darker truth emerges: the Hive Mind is not alone. Xenos. Chaos. Madness. The Vigil has begun. Book 1 in my Deathwatch Omnibus

Farseer Falling by Ulthwe

Nuadan Bahad has lived for millennia fighting the enemies of the Aeldari. An experienced Farseer, he has served the Craftworld Ulthwé and their fight against the forces of Chaos for as long as his memory has distinction, and it doesn't seem like that will stop any time soon. However, when his squad gets dragged into a three-way battle with a group of Space Marines and daemons, he has a vision that changes his life and threatens him in every way possible: the Astarte that tried to kill him is going to be the only person that can save his life. Only, now he must find a way to convince the Ultramarine to see things his way before things get dangerous for both of them. Stranded with who should be his mortal enemy on a remote human farming colony, the two find themselves surrounded by Tyranids with the only way to survive being that they must quickly learn to trust one another before they find an enemy far worse waiting for them. --- STORIES IN THE SERIES: 0.

The Gruefall Crisis. A WH40K Story. by 1Softmall1

The year is M42. Roboute Guilliman's Indomitus crusade is in full force. Deep with in Segmentum Pacificus a tide of green flesh painted in deathskulls' blue are stirring, preparing to strike at the fifth most important drydock within the galactic sector. A system the Imperium of Man cannot lose, for the price of a system like this falling into xenos hands are better left to the imagination. Every man, woman and child will fight and work in order to stave of this invasion. While a small group of the Deathwatch Astartes has been sent to aid them. The Orks are not as dim as they seem though, so the fighting will be brutal and the collateral damage high but one thing stands above all. Gruefall cannot fall. Also it is my first ever writing project so be kind :).

Warhammer 40k: a long journey by jh43e4

Questions often do not produce answers, the curiosity behind it is what motivates the progress to search for them. That's why he's so curious about everything. Why? Why is he here? why did they bring him to life? why is he so different from the other? Sometimes, he wondered about it, he wanted to ask his father, the Emperor...but maybe, maybe he doesn't need to. A story of a "man" who has no other choice but to fight and suffer alongside his people throughout history. Will the endless cruelty of the universe subdued him? Will the boundless madness of the dark gods and creatures of the warps break him down? He doesn't know, in fact, he doesn't know a single answer...but right now, it doesn't matter to him anymore. The galaxy is still burning, Tasks are at hand and will he be able to finish his father's wish? He'll find out on a long journey. NOTE: bad english warning, i own nothing but this O.C (Have to rewrite this since the old one is so bad it's cringing me out)

The Forge of Unity | Warhammer by DreadMaximus

In the age of the Great Crusade, when the Emperor's light sought to pierce the endless dark, there was one who rose among the stars with a vision of unity and strength. He was Gaius Aurelius Regulus, the Primarch of the Second Legion, the Argent Eagles, forged by fate to bring order to chaos and peace to the shattered realms of Man. His was the voice of reason amid the clamor of war, his blade the instrument of Imperial justice. From the ashes of fractured worlds, he wove alliances; from the ruins of defiance, he built empires. Yet even as his conquests brought glory to the Imperium, shadows gathered around him. For in the Imperium of Man, loyalty is both a virtue and a burden, and the price of unity is often paid in blood. As the tides of betrayal and ambition rise, Regulus must confront the eternal question: does the dream of order justify the cost of sacrifice? In the crucible of war, his Legion will stand as a testament to the indomitable will of humanity-or as a warning to those who would place hope in fragile bonds of trust. So begins the tale of the Second Legion: warriors, builders, and unifiers, born to soar above the stars as Argent Eagles. Their triumphs are written in fire, their legacy etched in shadow. For in the grim darkness of the 31st Millennium, even the noblest ideals can be shattered by the unyielding march of fate.

Aquila by Ulthwe

Commander Caius Atelinas is many things: angel, demon, soldier, saint, and above all, an Ultramarine. A distinguished veteran of uncounted battles, his squad is often sent on some of the most dangerous missions to defend the Imperium of Man from the enemies of Mankind no matter where they show their faces. When he is sent on a mission to retrieve a stranded Tech-Priest on an isolated world at the edge of Imperium Space, he finds himself confronted with something much more dangerous than a downed space craft. Soon confronted by agents of Chaos, an Orkish invasion, and a squad of Aeldari all seeking the Tech-Priest or the ruination of the planet, Caius and his squad find themselves at the forefront of a fight that will put their skills to the test and sets Caius on the collision course with an unexpected ally - Farseer Naudan Bahad of Craftworld Ulthwé, his long-time rival and one-time ally, who has come to the planet seeking out a familiar foe and a mystery that they both believe had faded into the shadows. --- STORIES IN THE SERIES: 0.

A Gift for the Long Hunt by Tyberos

The gift of the Rubicon Primaris and of the new, more powerful Primaris Marines is shared amongst the many chapters wich are part of the Adeptus Astartes organization. Welcomed by some, rejected or mistrusted by others, they are nevertheless a much favorable sight to the already thinly spread forces of the Imperium. Accompanied by the golden members of the Brotherhood of Demigods, the Custodians of Holy Terra, this new breed has reached all known and unknown Chapters, from the savage Space Wolves of Fenris to the tragic and rare Lamenters and beyond, yet one last offering is still to be made. Deep in the starless void, were monsters reside, great beasts hunt relentlessly. Long is their journey, started in the lost epoque of Pre-Unification. In Exile they are damned and by Duty bound, with Hunger they stalk and with the ichor of humanity's foes their thrist they Slake. Guardians, monsters, tyrants, slavers, sunderers, it matters not. Who leads and what they leave behind is nothing but a great Red Wake.

Ire of Mankind (A 40k and halo fanfic) by thelolp777

*The art is not mine but from 推文 (though I am not 100% sure if I got it right). Please let me know if you want to take it down or not* *This fan fiction is for the sole purpose of beating the covenant back with iom reinforcements. If you like the covvies then I'm sorry. I am completely bias to humans for obvious reasons. I'll try to not be overly excessive of course but I can promise you that those smug ass apes and split lips bastard will know fear.* The Indomitus crusade is at full swing as the stars themselves burn. Guilliman leads the forces of humanity in a desperate struggle for survival and liberated worlds after worlds, alas not every corner of the galaxy could be saved. The Lamenters chapter, what few remained that is, desperately evacuated what they can on an isolated sector known as Cadere. On the face of certain annihilation, a strike force from one of the legendary founding chapters, the imperial Fist, complimented with the aid of adeptus custodes manages to reach the isolated chapter. Saving what they can, the fleeing imperial forces gambled everything they have and escaped through a warp storm. As if the Emperor wills it, the imperial armada miraculously survives. Though they arrived into a galaxy they know nothing of.

The Aegis Vow: Sovereign Arbiter by WarhammerEnthusiast

He was the only son of the Emperor who dared to call the Imperium a failure. Primarch Valerius was lost to the annals of history, a forgotten relic of the Great Crusade. Unlike his zealous brothers, Valerius was not ruled by faith or fury, but by one absolute law: The Doctrine of Necessary Utility. When the Sovereign Arbiter of Humanity's Survival returns, he finds the Imperium crippled by superstition, bureaucracy, and a war fought with obsolete doctrine. The revered Codex Astartes is merely a roadmap to failure, and the High Lords are worse than any Xenos threat. Valerius refuses to lead a rebellion. Instead, he begins a surgical, systematic crusade to prove that the only path to survival is absolute, ruthless efficiency. He builds the Aegis Imperium, unites the fragmented Space Marine Chapters under his cold, logical command, and forces Roboute Guilliman to yield to a new form of governance. His purpose is singular, and his final vow is the most dangerous of all: to gather forbidden relics, breach Holy Terra, and attempt the impossible-to restore his broken father on the Golden Throne. A Primarch's logic will either save humanity or shatter it forever. Experience the saga of the Primarch who broke every rule of the 41st Millennium to fulfill the Final Vow.
