Zergstat, Heresy of Heresies

Chapter 352: Zergstat, the Heresy of Heresies.

As the Bucephalus, symbol of the Master of Mankind's sovereign power, it had not left Holy Terra since the Great Heresy ten thousand years ago. Yet this time, it moved, heading straight for the East.

While a multitude of Terra's officials were left wondering, the clever Adeptus Custodes had already begun a new round of betting, wagering on how long Lord Hogg would be beaten for.
