3.0
Set during the Great Crusade, this sees Malcador searching for the origin of a great storm in the immaterium, desperate to understand what it portends and whether its influence stretches to the physical plane as well.
Anyone remotely familiar with the Heresy – and specifically the tragedy of Magnus and the questions around the Librarius – will know loosely what to expect here, and on the surface it does deliver an explanation of sorts. It doesn’t fully satisfy, however; there’s real potential here, and it’s entertaining enough as a standalone bit of psyker-heavy action, but overall it feels lacking in the real Heresy gravitas and doesn’t offer much insight into Malcador or his decision-making.
