Scouts of Warmongers Space Marines setting a deadly trap on a strongly defenced rebel war. A great too short story about the ones crippled by the physical tests to became an Astartes and their place among the Angels of Death. The use of the serf was grimdark and great and the lack of action, leaving it what is going to happen next to the imagination of the reader, was a real nice touch from Werner, a veteran among Black Library authors.

An interesting story following a scout squad of space marines, on a rebel world. It was well done and interesting. The use of the chapter serf was awesome, and I wish Werner would write more 40k!

One of the better space marine short stories I've read so far! A nice view of what happens to the aspirants who are unable to progress to become true space marines. The fact that we never get any action, just a prediction of what will happen is a nice touch as well.

good solid reading about cripled space marines. But toooo short
