The Horus Heresy

MECHANICUM

Horus Heresy - 09

Graham McNeill

It is a time of legend.

Mighty heroes battle for the right to rule the galaxy.

The vast armies of the Emperor of Earth have conquered

the galaxy in a Great Crusade—the myriad alien races have

been smashed by the Emperor’s elite warriors and wiped

from the face of history.

The dawn of a new age of supremacy for humanity

beckons.

Gleaming citadels of marble and gold celebrate the many

victories of the Emperor. Triumphs are raised on a million

worlds to record the epic deeds of his most powerful and

deadly warriors.

First and foremost amongst these are the primarchs,

superheroic beings who have led the Emperor’s armies of

Space Marines in victory after victory. They are unstoppable

and magnificent, the pinnacle of the Emperor’s genetic

experimentation. The Space Marines are the mightiest

human warriors the galaxy has ever known, each capable of

besting a hundred normal men or more in combat.

Organised into vast armies of tens of thousands called

Legions, the Space Marines and their primarch leaders

conquer the galaxy in the name of the Emperor.

Chief amongst the primarchs is Horus, called the Glorious,

the Brightest Star, favourite of the Emperor, and like a son

unto him. He is the Warmaster, the commander-in-chief of

the Emperor’s military might, subjugator of a thousand

thousand worlds and conqueror of the galaxy. He is a

warrior without peer, a diplomat supreme.

As the flames of war spread through the Imperium,

mankind’s champions will all be put to the ultimate test.

Behold the coming of the One Supreme Master of Machines!

He comes to you from heaven in the drops of rain.

Sons of Mars listen well, for one will come, mighty and strong,

holding the sceptre of power in his hand.

Clothed in light and fire, his mouth shall utter eternal words,

while his mind shall be a fountain of knowledge and fact.

When the Saviour shall appear ye shall see him as he is,

a man like ourselves and yet greater by far.

This will be the first step in the greatest endeavour of Man.

It shall begin on the highest peak of the dominion of Ares.

When Deimos and Phobos are at apogee and perigee,

there thou shalt see the face of the Omnissiah.

Clad in a body of gold, and wreathed in the firmament of the storm,

the Lord of all Machines will stand in the midst of his people,

and shall reign over all the dominion of Man.

Great shall be the glory of his presence,

that the sun shall hide his face in shame.

For verily I say unto you that he shall be the Alpha and Omega,

the beginning and the end, the master of flesh and the forger of metal.

He shall be a light that shineth in darkness and a banisher of ignorance.

He shall be the object of devotion and love,

which kings might envy and emperors sigh for in vain!

He shall desire the good of Ares’ realm and the happiness of Man.

All must become one in loyalty and see all men as brothers.

Ruinous wars shall pass away, and peace shall reign among the stars.

Strife and bloodshed and discord will cease.

All men shall be as one kindred.

The divisions of the stars shall all be one!

— The Coming of the Omnissiah, exloaded by Pico della Moravec,

Primus of the Brotherhood of Singularitarianism.
