BL: Advent 2017 – Day 7 “Magisterium”
This week, the Black Library brings us a tale of the Custodian Guard and the Horus Heresy.
If you’ve been waiting to get caught-up on your fill of Black Library back-stories and lore then now is the time of year to jump in. Running from December 1st until December 24th, Black Library will have something to read, listen to, or just check out for all things Games Workshop. You can grab them individually or pick up the whole thing as part of the Advent Calendar Subscription.
Today’s story is all about the remnants of the Custodian Guard trying to clean up the mess left behind by the Webway War. They don’t even have the tools they need to handle things on Terra as they prepare for Horus’ assault. But maybe, they can find what they need to sweep his forces aside and take out the trash, proving themselves worthy of the name: Custodian Guard.
