Now that news of Horus' treachery is in the open, a time of testing has come. Some Legions have already declared their allegiance to the Warmaster while the loyalty of others lies firmly with the Emperor. As Horus deploys his forces, loyalist Astartes learn that a massive Wordbearers fleet is heading to Ultramar, home of the Ultramarines.

Unless they can intercept the fleet and destroy the mighty battleship that has been sent to reinforce it, the Ultramarines may suffer a blow from which they will never recover.

It's a good story, albeit with a bit of confusing pieces that put some aspects of Know No Fear in a weird light, but overall a good story of "against all odds" while giving plot shield to most loyalists.
The voice actor was good.
The story is a bit slow to pick up but in the last hours it really reels you in and the payoff is worth it, even just for lore purposes.
70/100

A good story

A bit of overacting from the narrator, as usual.
Otherwise it's fine like a good filler episode.

Fine self contained story
