Necrons were beginning to awaken on the planet Demerium, a moon of the planet Avarax in the Recidious system, revealing it as a Greater Fringe Tomb World. The Fourth Company of the Covenant of Fire Space Marine Chapter was sent to defend the evacuation of the planet's Ecclesiarch personnel, as well as its interred Salamanders, before the Inquisition committed Exterminatus on the burial world.

Dreekyre Maximilian, a Lexicanum Librarian, was sent with a group of Space Marines to rescue psychic relics under Demerium's Cathedrium of the Living Saint Lancae. In the mission's darkest hour, Maximilian would receive divine intervention from the Living Saint. His Warp powers enhanced, he barely saved himself and two allies, finishing the mission.

Suspecting that Maximilian's increased Warp powers stemmed from Chaos, one of the Lexicanum's allies accused him of heresy. After a thorough investigation, Maximilian was allowed to keep his Warp power, but was sentenced to spend a thousand penitent years under suspicion as a Codicier.

[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. --- STORIES IN THE SERIES: 0.

Aquila by Ulthwe
29 parts Complete
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.

[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.

"Warpdivers: Across the Void": A Warhammer 40K x Helldivers 2 Crossover

22 parts Complete

In the grim darkness of the 41st millennium, Lieutenant Demetrian Titus and his brothers, Chairon and Gadriel of the Ultramarines Chapter, face the ultimate test aboard a Tyranid-infested Battle Barge. A dying psyker's desperate act tears open a rift in reality, hurling the three Space Marines into an alien universe-Earth of the 22nd century, under the militaristic banner of Super Earth. Stranded and disoriented, they encounter Captain Elena Voss and her Helldiver squad, mistaking the superhuman Marines for experimental soldiers. Forced into reluctant alliance, the Imperium's finest must navigate a brutal three-way war between Helldivers, Terminid swarms, and rogue Automatons, while uncovering a sinister Chaos plot embedded deep within Super Earth's technology. As the threat escalates, Titus, Chairon, and Gadriel confront alien ideologies, unrelenting combat, and the haunting traces of the Warp. Duty, loyalty, and human resilience are tested across worlds, culminating in a desperate battle to seal a Warp rift capable of bringing annihilation to both universes. Across the Void is a high-octane, grimdark Isekai epic blending Warhammer 40K's stoic heroism with Helldivers 2's satirical brutality-an odyssey of courage, unity, and the enduring will to fight, even far from home.
