Leman Russ, Part I: The Wolf Who Bit the Emperor

Part I of the Leman Russ arc — from his infancy on the death world of Fenris, raised by wolves alongside Freki and Geri, through his adoption into the Russ tribe and rise to king, the famous Three Challenges against the Emperor, his command of the Space Wolves Legion as the Imperium's Executioner, the fraught campaigns of the Great Crusade (Night of the Wolf, the blood vow against Magnus, the brawl with Lion El'Jonson on Dulan), and the Council of Nikaea — all building toward the Burning of Prospero, where Horus manipulated Russ into razing a world and breaking a brother, setting in motion ten thousand years of consequence.

Magnus the Red, Part III: The Long War Eternal

The finale of the Magnus arc — from his sorcerous ambush of Guilliman's Terran Crusade inside the Maelstrom and the Battle of Luna where a Sisters of Silence null-field brought him down, through his opening of Sortiarius as a psyker sanctuary during the Psychic Awakening, to the devastating Invasion of the Stygius Sector and his failed attempt to exploit Prospero's Webway portals — and what it means for Magnus to be winning the Long War in the ruins of everything he once loved.

Magnus the Red, Part II: The Rubric and the Reckoning

Part II of the Magnus arc — from the catastrophic Rubric of Ahriman that turned the Thousand Sons into hollow Rubricae, Magnus's fury and Ahriman's exile, through the Battle of the Fang in M32 where Magnus destroyed the Space Wolves' chance at a lasting dynasty, to the Siege of the Fenris System in late M41 — a millennial revenge plot that ended with the Planet of Sorcerers relocated to hang above the ruins of Prospero.
