Mephiston Leads Black Library’s Lords of the Space Marines Series
January 29, 2013 by dracs
This month marks the beginning of a new Black Library series giving us a look at those mighty Lords of the Space Marines, starting with that scourge of any tournament I ever attend; Mephiston.
"Chief Librarian of the Blood Angels, Master of the Black Rage, Lord of Death... By these titles is Mephiston known to his brother Space Marines. But deep within Mephiston’s tortured heart lurks another, the spectre of who he used to be before his death and rebirth on the war-torn world of Armageddon. As Mephiston leads the Blood Angels into battle in the Pallavon system against the might of mankind’s archenemy, he must grapple with his inner daemons as well as those around him, as the ghost of Brother Calistarius, the man he once was, returns to haunt him." - Black Library
This novella, written by David Annandale, is now available in a premium edition, which includes:
- A red leather-effect slip case
- Exclusive short story chapbook 'Eclipse of Hope'
- Artwork postcard
- Signed and numbered by David Annandale
If you want to get your hands on this than you better hurry up and place your order as it will only be available until the 1st of February.
Are you eager to learn about Mephiston?

I’m actually quite interested in this mmmmm
Warren, I helped you move. Trust me you don’t need any more books. give them all to me!
But thats a great thing about books, you can always use more.
I really look forward to this, Mephiston really is one of my favorite characters in the 40k universe.
Just a shame about the cover art.
He looks so old and withered and the collar just looks wrong in some way.
I might actually get this one. As BA player I am huge fan of Mephiston so this one might be just for me.
No Thanks! own a BA army and loves it, but to spend that much money on 128 pages is crazy! and I used to think the plastic models are getting expensive? putting into perspective. I can buy the first 4-6 books from Horus Hersey (depending on format) for the price of this book.
Well I got the other three blood angel books, blood angel, black tide is probably my favorite written by james swallow. He also wrote omnibus and red fury. They are all really good- ya I will have to buy this one too.
And yes I play blood angels- nice touch adding peoples comments on front page, I am certain you will never see mine out there… LOL LOL
As far as I’m concerned, James Swallow is the only one allowed to touch Blood Angels fluff. However, I’m certainly looking forward to this, Mephiston rocks. I hope Annandale can step up to the plate, Swallow does great work and knows the Blood Angels well so I’ll be interested to see how Annandale portrays them and especially Mephiston, one of the most well known characters in the 40K ‘verse. Mind, as much as I find Swallow brilliant, Black Library is ever expanding and needs new Authors. There’s a strong line of Sci-Fi writers who’ve filled out the 40K universe much… Read more »
Right on,
