About this listen

Lord of the mystical and uncanny, Magnus the Red has long studied the ancient crafts of sorcery. A psyker without peer, save only for the Emperor himself, he commands his loyal followers of the Thousand Sons Legion in the Great Crusade, though also vigilant for any lost knowledge they might recover from the remains of dead human civilisations.

Now, fighting alongside his brother Perturabo of the Iron Warriors, Magnus begins to foresee an approaching nexus of fate - will he remain true to their mutual aims or divert his own efforts towards furthering his own mastery of the warp?

Excessive Excess

There's a decent amount of good stuff here, I enjoyed it for sure. But there were so many moments of such extreme that it could fill several books with an appropriate volume of tension. Between the hand-waving magic stuff and constant escalation of crisis, its teeth were made dull by the end.

Some weird voices

I found it strange that a primarch and some space marines have goblinish voices. The story was OK; there are some twists towards the end. Not too much to do with the Horus Heresy though.

Great Thousand Sons short story

Solid entry in the lore of the Thousand Sons legion.

I enjoyed the descriptions of the psychic powers displayed by Magnus & Ahriman & their battle with this psychic force on a dying planet.

The narrator did an excellent job with his descriptions of the action scenes & thought processes of the characters.

I like the explanation of how the Iron Warriors are very analytical & mechanical in their approach & thought processes compared to the Thousand Sons (though they do have their own sense of compassion & humanity).

Great short story if you’re a Thousand Sons fan or a fan of psykers in 40k in general.

Crimson King

It’s a good book overall. But I feel it could do more to elaborate on the details inside the story.

A phenomenal story for Thousand Sons and Iron Warriors fans

This was a wonderful look back to the early days of both the IVth and XV legions in their earliest days.

The best...

Primarch(s) story in this particular series. It's almost as much Perturabo's story as much as it is Magnus's. and old Pert shines here.

Marvelous Magical Mischief!

Magnus has and will always be one of my favs and this book makes me love him even more. I also helped me understand Pertrabo and Forrix better along with Arhimen. These guys Betraying the Imperium is hard to believe more and more the more you know about them.
