Faced with an ork invasion of Piscina IV, the 3rd Company of the Dark Angels believes the threat to be minimal.

Didn't feel like a WAAAAGHHH!!!!
By Rhymoceros
Loved the prologue and epilogue, but that's about it. This book had a great intro, loved it, it was very different, took me by surprise and really opened up what the story had to offer. In the end however,it just didn't deliver. I hate to say it, but the whole story and characters were unimpressive and uneventful when comparing this story line as a tie in or extension to The War for Armageddon, including Helsreach. The plot of this book could pretty much be summarized by the title and the way this book was written became hard to read after a while, Since this is a Space Marine Battles, comparing this set up narrative with Rynn's World, for example, really left me lost. Each chapter was very long, each character not adding too much depth and complexity to the whole campaign. I love the way Rynn's World was set up by location, I thought that was fantastic, this book was set up by character, and the scenes just seemed too long and drawn out. This author mentioned 'decades' as long Space Marine service and 'hundreds' of orcs as a lot...where other books would have probably mentioned centuries and thousands of orcs.
This may have been better if the Space Marines were replaced with PDF or something other than Astartes, could have been more substantial. The Dark Angels showed no emotion, whenever a brother died, or when battling orcs, everything was very superficial. The Dark Angels are not really my favorite, and this book didn't help out, the one and only book I like with them in it is Eye of Terror, other than that, they've yet to stand out to me at all. Sorry Gav, this story lacked detail, twists, surprises and heart.

A refreshing addition to the Black Library
By M. Johnson
I have read much of the 40k material in reference to the Space Marines. From the Space Wolves to the Ultramarines you can always bet on there being praying, and death to those that oppose the Emperor's will. I as much as anyone, reads a Space Marine book for these very things. Where this book truly stands out is that it portrays how a Space Marine company fights as a unit. It displays how the elements of recon, medical, and assault truly work during the chaos of war. It gives you a clear idea of how a Commander of such an element must make decisions in order to prosecute a campaign of this level.
As I have said before I've read several of these novels, but this is the first one that attempts to move 40k from futuristic Sci Fi fantasy to strong military Sci Fi. Don't misunderstand if you read a Space Marines novel for the praying, and killing it is here. What it adds is the tactical aspect of how they fight, maneuver, and plan. The action is spot on and very grim, as it should be. Instead of portraying the Space Marines as unstoppable juggernauts on the battlefield it shows their thought process before, during, and after the battle. It even portrays elements of doubt that they experience. Outside of the Horus Heresy books this is rare within much of the 40k material.
I think that Mc Neill and Abnett our still probably the best authors of the Black Library. Thorpe does create a very real and grim portrayal of war from the Marines standpoint. I don't think it fair to compare what Thorpe has done here with either writer. The only comparison that comes to mind is Eric Nylund's Halo books. Which shows the tactics, techniques, and sacrifices' that even the most supreme warriors must make to prosecute a war. I highly recommend this book to any 40k fan it's just different enough to be refreshing but maintains what the Space Marines are about at their core. I would also recommend it to any Military Sci Fi fan as well. It takes what exist in the 40k universe and applies it to the military structure that exists now. Instead of one hero doing it all it shows a company of warriors doing what they can to contribute. Great book and I can't wait to see if Thorpe will write another book applying these ideas.

The Purging of Kadillus
by Gav Thorpe
****
The Story: The Dark Angels battle the might of an ork Waaaagh!, led by the feared warboss Ghazghkull Thraka. Faced with an ork invasion of Piscina IV, the 3rd Company of the Dark Angels believes the threat to be minimal. As enemy numbers continue to increase, their commander, Captain Belial, insists that his Company are strong enough to resist. But Scout-Sergeant Naaman knows just how dangerous this foe can be, and when a renewed greenskin offensive takes the Dark Angels by surprise, the orks swarm towards Kadillus Harbour. Little do the Dark Angels know of the technological power available to the xenos, and the true scale of the threat they face. Belial, Naaman and their fellow Astartes fight a desperate siege at Kadillus, knowing that they must hold out until Imperial reinforcements arrive or the planet will be lost.
The Good: The Dark Angels are a very fascinating chapter of the Adeptus Astartes and it is quite nice to be able to see them march to war and move away from the persistent plot of hunting the fallen members of their brethren. It is important to give depth to any faction and/or characters in order to make it more than just a one-hat factor. This book always the audience to experience another facet of the Dark Angels, one where they are doing what Adeptus Astartes do best: Making battle and war.
Something that is really cool is the inclusion of the local army as characters. A favorite event in these books is when the Adeptus Astartes interact with ordinary humans. It serves two purposes: the first is that it illustrates the extent of the differences between the Astartes and the human forces. Astartes are so strong and the humans seem so frail. The second reason is that serves to show how similar they still are to ordinary humans. Astartes are not perfect and sometimes they forget that and they look down upon the multitudes of ordinary humans, but occasionally they are reminded of the courage of humanity and this book shows us that every now and then.
One of the best parts of the whole book is the beginning and the ending. Without giving too much away, it is here that we see the face of the enemy, Ghazghkull Thraka himself. Normally, prologues and epilogues are a hit and miss. Either they are useful towards the plot or they are a waste of time. Some authors advise to cut those parts out during editing. Anyway, we see the extent of Ghazghkull’s abilities compared to lesser Ork and for those who are unfamiliar, we see why he is one of the greatest foes ever faced by the Imperium of Man.
It makes Bookworm eager to read more about him.
The Flaws: This one was a bit of dud compared to classics of the Space Marine Battles series such as Rynn’s World or Death of Integrity. It is hard for Bookworm to pin down the exact factor that led to his lack of appreciation. There are several things to take into account…
The Dark Angels themselves lends to the book’s flaws. This chapter is known for its dour character and that does not lead to an interesting story. Character is half the battle when writing any work of fiction and the Dark Angels lack a lot of it. The only at times to differentiate one Space Marine from the other was by their name and rank and nothing else. There are one or two tender moments but they are overshadowed by the rest of the story, which is lacking or simply lost among all the generic action scenes.
Orks are a favorite enemy of Bookworm but they felt underutilized in this volume. After reading several books that feature Ork onslaughts known as a WAAAGH!, the Orks in this book did not feel like part of a WAAAGH! Ork onslaughts are supposed overwhelming things, like tidal waves of violence sweeping over the land and whatever defenders were there. Mountains of crude machines to be rendered into scraps and fire by bolt shell and las fire. The orks are more a like a storm than an army. In this book, the orks were an army and it felt…lacking compared to the all but unstoppable forces of other tales of the Black Library.
The ultimate problem is that the whole volume is too formulaic. The Space Marines are just that: Space Marines (tm) and nothing else, no certain quirk of their biology like the Blood Angels or the Space Wolves. No memorable characters to spice up the squads and only fleeting moments that prove they are still human. They are simply generic Adeptus Astartes and they lack significant character development. They fight the orks, alongside the local planetary defense force and the orks put up a good fight but nothing exceeding what most of the Dark Angels can handle. There is small twist about the orks near the end that serves as a climax for a preceding mystery about them but even then it lacks gravity.
Even the trademark illustration in the center of the book is lacking. Very generic and quite probably from some older codex (game manual).
Final Verdict: If you are a fan of the sons of the Lion, this book is worth checking out but don’t get your hopes up for something extraordinary.
