I've really enjoyed the Angel War. I recall you saying a while ago that it was kinda thought up as a whim but you stuck with your idea of six hosts and six Greater Daemons and it's been incredibly exciting. Some might be upset that so far the Imperium has managed to clutch out a win in every theater of the war, but not without impossibly steep costs in some places.
In spite of that, I especially enjoyed how well the Assassins dealt with the Innocent. Those guys are jobbers supreme in 40K lore normally, so to see them almost casually deal with a full-on assault on their HQ in the kind of overall shitfest of the Angel War was extraordinarily satisfying. As were all the other instances of non-Space Marine forces saving the day.
Not that Barban Falk's return was any less satisfying, mind you. Stumbling onto ideas that you didn't realize you set up is always great, and extra love given to those earlier, somewhat underdeveloped Legions is great too.

Love this series so damn much and glad to see you post once more.
Regarding Alexey, I find myself thinking back to the original Ollanius Pious lore, where he was just some random dude who did his duty for the Emperor, dying on his feet and holding the line against the enemy to the best that he could. When I first read the original summary of your Heresy years ago, it did strike me as a disappointment that Pious wasn't there... though the payoff in the Alpha Legion chapter was absolutely glorious, in a Legion that has always been my favorite regardless of being traitorous or loyal.
But I do agree with the sentiment of some people that, in general, Ollanius lost something in 40K's official lore when he was re-introduced as something more than just an ordinary person just doing everything he could in a war far above his weight limit. And seeing just more instances random people in over their head, barely understanding what is happening (and attempts to process it likely to just drive them to utter madness), and just trying to do the right thing have an influence beyond what Chaos can account for feels like it fits in right at home with the themes of the Roboutian Heresy, and especially the Angel War in specific.
After all, the Emperor's sacrifice was to give all of His followers a fighting chance. Not just the Primarchs and the Astartes. Not just the Living Saints. Not just the Inquisitors. But everyone, down to random people that ware seen as so insignificant and oblivious to the threats they face that they couldn't *possibly* do anything. Because they do have value and the Emperor's faith and love for them is entirely justified.

Have Takarov, in a combination of absolute panic and desperate ingenuity, manage to figure out how to jury-rig enough trains to bring the Ordo Sinister back to whatever fight will happen at the Imperial Palace.

I'm afraid to find out what Leonatos had really been sent on Terra for. Great chapter!

Well, Leonatos was backstabbed. How...unsurprising from Chaos.
Excellent chapter, once again. I await what comes next eagerly...and with a bit of fear, too.

I'm still having trouble following. Though that's mostly the case for me with Warhammer. But what is the current status of the Imperium?

i dunno why, but i kinda laughed when the seer narrator says "his junkie mother" instead of "his addict mother" or somethig. it kinda makes me imagine that the seer narrator is a punk spehss mahreen with mohawk haircut.
