Synopses & Reviews
The Horus Heresy vol. II: Visions of Darkness is the second book in the series. It continues the story of the
Horus Heresy, the dark time in human history when the Imperium was rent by the internal war, as the forces of Chaos strove to turn brother against brother. This book is full of color images from Sabertooth's fantastic collectable card game, depicting famous characters, places and warriors from the dim history of the Imperium. Also included are many of John Blanche's amazing concept sketches that did so much to inspire the other artists in their own work.
The text accompanying all the art is written by Allan Merrett, who has been instrumental in creating the background that forms the basis of the Horus Heresy and the Warhammer 40,000 universe. This book is a wonderful showcase for the talented artists who work for Sabertooth, Game Workshop and the Black Library.
