The interaction between Sicarius and Guilliman is my personal highlight of this short story. Their charisma just cancel each other out and both become extremely awkward.

4.0

After years of confinement within the Armour of Fate, and long study of its workings, Guilliman is determined to remove it and reclaim his own fate. Set between the events of the Rise of the Primarch background book and the novel Dark Imperium, this is a rare action-free 40k story, but an absence of fighting allows for plenty of insight.

It focuses on Guilliman the man (of sorts) rather than the warrior or the statesman, as he tries to find a solution for an endearingly human frustration. Through discussions of the issue with Cato Sicarius, the Cawl Inferior and even someone a little further from home, Haley brings home the everyday absurdity of Guilliman’s situation with a light touch and even a little knowing humour.
