* IMAGES FROM THE DARK MILLENNIUM *I dreamed I saw am angel. the last of all that host
Of cold and barren angels. whose wings have worn to rust
‘A dead and bloodied warrior a-lying in the dust
I turned my eyes to heaven and offered him a prayer
But could not guess that in the dark 2 stranger
watched me there
“What cause have you to pray for Him? What aced have
you to care?”

I started at this sudden cry and, falling to the ground,
Begged he forgive 2 traveller, whose words were
so ill-found,
‘A poor and lonely heitophant on holy service bound.
In the darkness cowering I spied a pile of bones
‘And feared to meet the kind of man who sat on
such a throne
‘Who wore a bleak and wretched face, a face that
‘was my own
1
Aghast I could but listen to the spectee’s voice so fell.
So strange and yet familiar. though how I could not tell.
‘A cold and deadly weave of words that held me
in their spell
That bid me take the angel's sword from his broken hand
To cut the dry and fallen limbs from trees about the land.
So through the darkest night I raised an angel's
charnel mound.
Vv
As darkness turned to twilight I heard the stranger groan
“Bring fire. he said, “and quickly. we must defeat the dawn
By death and fire and darkness are restless spirits drawal
At once, I set the flaming brand to the kindling tower.
‘A hot and howling wind rose up to drive a raging fire
The heat grew fierce and maddening 2s flames
consumed the pyre
M3
"Now I must go.’ the stranger cried, ‘where fallen
angel's rest”
Before my eyes he leapt upon the angry flame's caress!
‘And then I slept, exhausted, a5 from a spell released.
T dreamed 1 saw an angel, the last of all that host
Of cold aod barren angels, whose wings have worn to rust.

w!THE ENEMY WITHIN
Of Cults and Heresies, and of Witches and Mutants
“I should by rights be insane. I have seen sights
4s would blast the mind of a lesser man. I have
stared into the face of Death. I have conversed
‘with netherspawn. I have placed my bare hands
on the cold, clammy flesh of a daemon’s neck. I
hhave the blood of the guilty and the innocent on
my bands. Still I reason, in spite of the host of horrors I have
both witnessed and committed. Why me? What fierce fate has
‘marked me out and separates me from my fellow man? Only the
Emperor of Mankind knows.'The secret of his calling is locked
forever in his embalmed body at the centre of our great
Imperium. If he could speak with mortal breath he alone could
tell why I, above all others, was chosen to serve as his grim
Inguisitor.”
Be warned, scion of humanity! The Universe is a large and
terrifying place and you are but a mote of dust. Butlet not your
seeming insignificance blind you to duty! Horrors unbounded
sit ‘neath the thin veneer of civilisation which mankind has taken
to the stars, Secret dark terrors dance on the edge of perception,
hidden monsters that wait and plot for their day in the starlight.
Every man, woman and child throughout the Imperium carries
within them the twin seeds of our defeat. The unstable gene is a
mutant beast waiting to erupt, the unstable thought a Heretic
Apparant. The Mutant beats his Heresy on the outside, the
‘Traitor hides his in his soul. Trust no one! Fear all! Any one of
your fellows may carry the Mark. The Will of the Emperor alone
cannot protect you, You must be strong! You must join the
crusade and take your place in the unceasing struggle!
Hunt them everywhere! Seek them in all the dark and awful
places of the earth, Leave no stone unturned, no corner unscried,
no door unopened, no veil undrawn!
Every day, every hour and every minute
keep your vigil strong. Let not the mutate
nor the daemon-lover nor the
blasphemous heretics stain the pure light
of the Emperor! One twisted soul or one
perverted mind could be all that stands
between damnation and future hope.
HANG THE HERETIC!

“Behold the man who stands before you, high
Inquisitor of the Emperor, my station and my
life, Though beneath my mask of iron and my
armour of steel [am but a man, But I have a
man’s will. The human drive to survive, to fight
against the odds, to look death in the eye and stand firm. I have
the Emperor’s fortitude to brace me. I have no fear. I am
invincible, I can be cut, I canlbe burned, I can be bruised. But I
cannot be truly defeared. I may lose my life but I will never lose
my soul. Iam one of the Ordo Malleus. If you are human, call
‘me Daemonhunter! If you are of the Warp, call me Death!”
From the darkness of eternal night, strange and fearsome entities
espy Mankind and his doings. From the shadow realm that is the
Warp they plot and plan. Like some nightmarish spider the
daemon spins his web of lies and deceit. Many are the unwary
realising only too late that they have been snared. Sorry indeed
are the bitter souls trapped betwixt the realm of chaos and our
bright starlight. Such is the fate of the ultimate Traitors to the
cause of Humanity. The Legions of the Warmaster, now
consigned to a ten thousand-year penance, have paid heavy
price for their turning. They are not alone. Many are the fools
who would deal with the devil and are stung in return.
What grand jest is it, that the very means of Mankind’s journey
to the stars should be the very stuff of his worst nightmares? The
Warp! Always there. Always struggling to get out. Only a
thought away! The daemon populace ever ready to liberate
themselves from that netherworld and take possession of ours.
Measured by the years of a man’s life the
Imperium is eternal. And so, therefore,
must be our vigil. If we slip in our duty
the end will surely dawn and an eternity
of darkness shall reign.

Mankind has never been alone amongst the stars. There have
ever been the other races of the universe. Itis neither in man’s
nature to share his worlds with the aliens nor in theirs to share
with man. And so there have always been conflict and wars. An
unending series of wars, Wars of annihilation. Wars of
‘genocide. The alien races are an abomination. We must fight
them to our last breath; no quarter asked, none given. Even the
places of the alien must be abhorred and shunned. Any trace of
their being must be erased from the landscape lest its foul taint
blight us.
‘Too much blood has been spilled over the centuries for there
to ever be a ceasefire or a peace between us. As they mistrust
and fear mankind, we revile and hate them. No matter how
many we destroy, yet more heretofore
‘unknown aliens appear. As the galaxy
wheels towards its final, fateful cataclysm
‘we are doomed to die, our hands locked
around each other's throats. Squeezing
the life out of each other as the universe
dies!

Of Secret Knowledge, and Truth Disguised
The universe is a large and forbidding place, and man
s the fool who thinks he can tame it. But the horrors
and terrors of the dark night are endless throughout
the trackless void. Come hither, scribe and clerk!
Look you into the shadow realm of our nightmares
and tell of what you see! If words fail you, scratch with your
quill a semblance of those dark fears! Put form to the deathly
dreams such that we might be forewarned of their coming!
Mayhap in the telling and showing, some of the dread power of
these macabre visions shall be diluted, or better still dispelled!
The hollow space between the stars is as black as tar. Shine
forth 2 small beacon of truth to pierce the dark night!
A lesson for all is that nothing is certain. Once mankind had
hopes fora bright future of conquests, achievements and riches
unheard of, All such dreams turn to dust. The universe is a
dreadful place. Berter that humanity had stayed on its little
muddy rock than travel to the stars. Then perhaps he may have
spared us all the stark truth and the pain that is its bedfellow!
Woe is man that he unleash such suffering on his descendants.
What further ills has the universe to inflict on us? Can the
savants, seers and seekers tell us? Has the Tarot foreseen all that
Have we exhausted all possible ways to divine the future?
How many scribes must toil to scratch their visions
‘onto ancient parchments so that we might catch a
glimpse of hope? Or are we to suffer only the pangs
of despair as yet more horror is let loose on our
dreams? Or does the seeking itself give birth to
more insanity than man can live with?

These are the End Times. The Apocalypse. Gotterdammerung.
Ragnarok. The Void. Endsong. King of Battles. Jutenborg
