Pages from the Black Books – The Scouring of the Nostramo Sector

Last week, our ongoing Horus Heresy lore series visited the Pale Stars in the galactic south-west. Now, we delve into one of the biggest mysteries of the Age of Darkness – what happened to the Nostramo Sector?

In the wake of the Siege of Terra, fleets seeking vengeance struck out from the birthplace of Humanity to make the Traitor Legions pay for their treachery. Elements of the Blood Angels and Ultramarines set course for the Nostramo Sector – the home of the Night Lords. Expecting a dug-in enemy, they found little more than ruined fortresses and the wrecks of void craft.

Read the dispatches from the front lines, originally published in The Horus Heresy: Book Six – Retribution from 2016, and learn more about the mysterious Ashen Claws.
