Commissar Yarrick, Part II: The best enemy

Lorgar Aurelian, Part III: The Silence and the Return

The final episode of the Lorgar arc — his daemonic ascension to Chaos Undivided after the Heresy, ten thousand years of meditation inside the Templum Inficio on Sicarus, the duel with a warp-mutated Corax who forced him back through his own portal, and the Exile's End that brought him out of seclusion when the Great Rift tore the galaxy in half. Also: why Lorgar is the most consequential and most philosophically complicated traitor primarch — the one who chose Chaos with full understanding and built the catastrophe that still shapes M42.

Leman Russ, Part III: The Wolftime

The finale of the Leman Russ arc — how the Space Wolves rebuilt, fought, and endured after their king disappeared into the Eye of Terror: Bjorn the Fell-Handed's ten-thousand-year vigil, Logan Grimnar's stand against the Inquisition in the Months of Shame, Magnus's revenge at the Siege of the Fenris System, the Primaris integration of the Era Indomitus, the thirty Great Hunts that never found their man, and the prophecy that still holds the Chapter together — the Wolftime, and whether it is now.

Leman Russ, Part II: The Weight of Ash

Part II of the Leman Russ arc — from the desperate siege in the Alaxxes Nebula where Bjorn pulled his Primarch back from despair and Dark Angels rescued the pack from Alpha Legion encirclement, through the Space Wolves' late arrival at a Terra already broken, Russ's clash with Valdor over the Emperor's fate and the underground fight with Lion El'Jonson, the Codex Astartes dispute and the failed Wolf Brothers Chapter, to Bjorn's naming as first Great Wolf — and Russ's final feast at the Fang, his promise of the Wolftime, and his disappearance into the Eye of Terror.

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.
