Last week, we saw the full might of the Mechanicum Taghmatas that took part in the Battle of Calth, but we left out one core element of their battle plan – the mighty Imperial Knight households that march to fulfil ancient oaths with their Forge Worlds.
This week’s download from our ongoing series of lore dossiers from the legendary Black Books covers the many titanic Knights that fought alongside the Mechanicum in the Age of Darkness. Those oathbound to the Forge Worlds were often a breed apart from their more independent kin, with many strange technologies and rituals involved in their operation, and you’ll learn plenty about their esoteric war machines in today’s extract from 2014’s The Horus Heresy: Book 4: Conquest.

Join us next week as we follow the harrowing journey of the Salamanders warship Ebon Drake and its captain, Xiaphas Jurr, as they set out alone from Nocturne to uncover the fate of Vulkan and the companies dispatched to Isstvan V.*
* Spoiler alert: It didn’t go well for them.
