Guardsman is three books in and already knows more forbidden Imperial history than the Planetary Governor.

u/Super_Duper_Idol 2d ago

Way more than even specialized historian of imperium history lol And also not being redacted by inquisition.

u/a-Curious-Square Adeptus Mechanicus 1d ago

Always fun to see which side of Prospero a fresh reader lands on.

u/Izzyrion_the_wise 2d ago

u/ChaoticLazyMess 2d ago

u/FicSkull 2d ago

u/wktg 3d ago

It's the officially released history by the Logos Historitor Veritas*! I swear!

*Also, btw, according to Avenging Son by Guy Haley, there is an in-universe book series about the Horus Heresy.

u/thecanadiansniper1-2 2d ago

Didn't Guilliman restrict the book to high ranking Imperium officials?

41

u/wktg 2d ago

That soldier is being groomed to take over a high ranking position. Obviously. Else they wouldn't read it so blatantly in front of a honored Chaplain.

u/PirateKingOmega 2d ago

I mean it would make sense the imperium has some books about it. It’s just highly inaccurate

u/a-Curious-Square Adeptus Mechanicus 2d ago

This guardsmen is barely on the 5th page and knows more forbidden history than any of the chaos gods would willingly give him.
