That said, be warned that a full half of The Buried Dagger has nothing to do with the Death Guard and is instead the conclusion to Garro's storyline. So if you care about that making sense you'll also want to read the Garro anthology.

Personally, if Death Guard is what you're really interested in, you're not going to find it in the Horus Heresy. Instead I'd recommend the short story "Unification" followed by Lords of Silence.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/794555/11003524.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/794555/11003524.page GMT The Burried Dagger I actually like Garro a lot as a character, so I might follow his plot first ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/794555/11003552.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/794555/11003552.page GMT Re:The Burried Dagger I personally highly recommend Lords of Silence to anyone interested in Death Guard. I never thought I'd find them that interesting, but after reading it I think Vorx and company may be my favorite bunch of heretics next to Talos and the boys. Can't wait to read the sequel.

I always thought he was from Barbarus, as he was with Mortarion before the Emperor arrived.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/794555/11004172.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/794555/11004172.page GMT The Burried Dagger

They fixed the whole, "Typhon was a librarian in the XIVth legion" by explaining that while Mortarion was found at a certain time, it was a significant amount of time before he was given control of his legion. During this time, recruitment from Barbarus was already underway, which is when Typhon would've already started implantation and been selected for the librarium. Malcador and the Emperor kept him on Terra, though the specifics of why are kept secret. Possible theories are a) his immediate hatred of psykers, b) the feared xenos/chaos corruption by his step-father, or c) his rebellious nature immediately putting him at odds with the Emperor.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/794555/11005005.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/794555/11005005.page GMT
