yes the artwork are good! the impperial fist deathwatch devastator and the sister of silence are great
Couple of chapters into the next book, 'Prey'. Loving it! The destruction is amazing, I have no idea how the Imperium is going to counter this.
Spoiler: This week on "GW kills off the Imperial Fists" "The Imperium is under attack by a relentless tide of orks. The Imperial Fists have been destroyed, leaving Terra itself vulnerable, and across the galaxy, worlds are beset by greenskin savages." Honestly, at this point I'm starting to think that the Imperial Fists are secretly at multiple legions strength considering they are destroyed every other day.
Spoiler for destroyed they mean "lost 1000 battlebrother the master of the apothecarion must rebuild the chapter from nothing" or every single imperial fist is dead? because "999 marine dead" is happened also to other first founding chapter like blood angels
Spoiler: Bladder issues Unknown, I'm just posting what it says on the second book's description, you'll have to ask Valrak or read the book yourself to know the precise details. And the Blood Angels got away with 50 marines.
Spoiler: Some details about Fists Maximus Thane is a Captain (Becomes the leader after his superiors are killed) of a new successor Imperial Fist Chapter called the Fists Exemplar, the name stuck in my head through the entire book as I knew I've read it somewhere else. Anyway, after some digging I found it. The novel Space Marine by Ian Watson which is focused on the Imperial Fists, Maximus Thane is one of be names that is scrimshawed on the skeletal hand of Rogal Dorn, which is only reserved for Chapter Masters of the Imperial Fists. This adds to the theory that the successor Chapters are the ones that re-build the Fists
