Alors que les flammes de la félonie se diffusent à travers l'Imperium, Horus cherche à corrompre ou à détruire quiconque s'opposerait à lui. Sur Mars, monde natal du clergé du Mechanicum, les grandes cités-manufactures produisent depuis longtemps une grande partie des armes des flottes expéditionnaires en route vers le reste de la galaxie - ce qui fait de la planète un enjeu majeur de la guerre à venir. À présent, les agents du Maître de Guerre attisent le feu de la rébellion pour monter les forges loyalistes et les légions titaniques l'une contre l'autre.

La Grande Croisade est à son apogée, et les Thousand Sons sont parmi ses guerriers les plus dévoués. Bien que hautement loyale, la légion de Magnus le Rouge est considérée avec méfiance pour ses pratiques arcaniques : craint par l'Imperium qu'il a juré de servir, le primarque est appelé sur la planète Nikaea pour répondre d'accusations de sorcellerie.
