Chosen Men, are you? Well, I didn't choose you.
It's very hard to trust a man who wants to borrow your pick-lock, sir.
I ordered it, and they claim it's shipped but I've not seen it yet. I just hope it doesn't take 28 days (like they say on the site) since I paid 15 GPB for shipping a 30 GPB book.

Are you going to be reading this or will the celophane wrapping stay intact? for £45 I think I could skip a niche novella though.
Just got the book today.
I don't know why but EVERY box I get from BL or FW is totally trashed. This box had 2 small pieces of tape securing it, and 1 side was totally open. The book itself was wrapped in cellophane and then wrapped in bubble wrap. The book was in good condition, which is good because the condition of the box made me flip out.
Number 245, which seems odd since I ordered really early.
I've had a quick flip through the book, the art on the site is Honsu and Grendel.
The book is 94 pages, and the story covers all but about the middle 6 pages. Every page or so there are drawings of wargear, layouts etc.
It reminds me a lot of the "history" books that black library put out a few years ago.

Yes, it's a one time only 1,000 printed deal.
I've got number 13, and it is a nice looking thing there's no denying.
..but.. for £30... hmm... real addicts only IMO. It's not essential.

Honsou's plan is to free M'kar the reborn... from the marine codex is it ?.... who is trapped, courtesy of the Ultramarines, in the heart of a Ramilies Class Star fort. The Ultramarines move this around the Ultramar system, seemingly at random, and have a garrison and small fleet to protect it. Honsou and his recruits from the short story with him in a previous collection attack this, to free the demon, which has control of a vast daemonic army, which, presumably, will be what he uses to invade the Ultramarine's planets in the forthcoming book in the series.
It's a well told story thus far, the colour prints are somewhat of a spoiler if you, like everyone has, look at them first methinks , is a bit odd to quite imagine as it turns into a full on siege with the Iron Warriors making trenches, redoubts etc etc as they try to battle their way into the massive station.
Some nice insights into Vane and the newborn and Honsou though.
