Lone Wolves (Warhammer 40, 000 Graphic Novel)

Konnici na Liriite - Chevalier Du Lys

Za liriite! Za Tshesta! Za Smarta!” The Velikii Kniazz who rode at the forefront of the onslaught, his ensorcelled ebon blade hewing men to the left and cleaving men to the right, his grim eyes gleaming beneath his shimmering horned and plumed helm. The carnage of that first clash was phenomenal. The momentum threw the pikemen into shrieking disarray, and the vanguard of army fell back before the thundering resolve of the Orden attack. The baleful, pikes and spears took their toll upon the Konnici. But even that didn’t stop the mighty cataphracts which tore gloriously into the foremost rank of pikemen. They continue their sprint as nothing had happened. In their pass hundreds of soldiers lay in the ground trampled beneath the horses’ hooves. The sound of bones cracking smothered beneath the moaning of the pikeman. Caught by leprous swords and spears, men and mounts fell screaming to the dusty earth, where they were mercilessly rent and devoured by the slavering swords of the each other side.

SPOILER ALERT!

This is a graphic novel and probably one of the best published by BL. I usually don't read graphic novels but for BL I open an exception. This is a story of a dying world at the hands... well claws or something like that of the Tyranids. There's nothing to do about it. They are already stripping the life out of the planet making it a Dead World. There's an Imperial Guard unit stranded on the planet trying to escape. As they walk through the snow they are attack by the Tyranids and twice they are saved by the Space Wolves who are killing as much as possible of the Swarm before escaping the planet. I won't say retreating because it's not retreating per se. It's... "re-locating".

The drawings are great and you read it all in one time. It's fast as Space Wolves bikes and intense. As a 40k piece there isn't a happy ending because the future is grim.

Advisable to anyone who loves Warhammer/40K or beautiful graphic novels.
