![]() Imperial Fists, Iron Warriors, Titan Legions whack it out but it is the humans of the Astra Militarium that suffers the most, and how they suffer! Their plight and the callous attitude of the Terran Priesthood is a delight to read. But it is as dark as a winter night in the north and bleak as fuck. Yes, it includes battle scenes, and so many battle scenes. Storm of Iron is perhaps my favourite 40k book. The cases are funny, dark and familiar, but with a clear Warhammer-esque feel to them. Unlikely allies are found in the undead and the criminal mastermind that controls the capital of the Empire. Chaos runs rampant and the dead stalk the living. His cases, for the time being incomplete, takes him to the darkness beneath and inside Altdorf, to a lonely monastery and he faces both the enemy within and without. Part Sherlock Holmes and part William of Baskerville, Zavant Konniger is a scholar, detective and inventor. The way the Space Wolves, and certainly Ragnar himself, are portrayed is perhaps a tad too humane, but on the other hand the Space Wolves have always been a strange group so who knows, maybe it fits them. But damn if it wasn’t a fun read! Bill King has a talent for combining the grotesque with a humorous touch, after all he is the man behind that scumbag duo of Felix and Gotrek. So again this is a book I didn’t expect too much from. Origin stories are also something I don’t care too much about, I don’t need to know how Ferrus Manus acquired his iron hands (ha ha ha) or how Eisenhorn recruited his entourage. ![]() But I understand why they exist and I get the them. I’m not a huge fan of special characters, to be honest they are for the most part boring. Through him we see how the Old World functions, not just the mighty heroes but the scum and the priests, the whores and the losers. He visits interesting places like Tilea and the Border Princes, going up against orcs, skaven, undead and humans, not to mention the followers of the Ruinous Powers. So Brunner does what he wants to survive and thrive in this amoral place. ![]() The Warhammer World is not a place where the good guys survive, it is a place where an orc and a man wrestle over a swine only for a halfling to stab them both and steal the pig. But it makes sense when we consider the world he lives in. I’m not sure if or when I will read the sequel, but this was one of the best portrayals of the damned astartes of the fallen legions.īrunner is an interesting character, he is in many ways a complete asshole. There is an eldritch light god, strange daemons, embittered characters and wonderfully macabre ideas. Sure it has its flaws but that is to be expected from any book. What a pleasant surprise it was! The characters are decently written, the plot is clear and the characters plan makes some sense. For some reason I picked up The Talon of Horus anyway, even if the main character seemed to be Abaddon the Despoiler, one of the most boring special characters in 40k. This was a bit of a strange choice to read for me, I had heard good things about Dembski-Bowden but his earlier output hadn’t really focused on anything I was really keen on reading. The Talon of Horus by Aaron Dembski-Bowden For the same reason I have not included any anthologies even if they are my favourite sort of Warhammer fiction, one author per book and each author only once. They are in no particular order and I have limited them to only one book per author. So here is my list of my favourite Black Library books. They do have a knack for making some fun pulp short stories and some of the novels have been quite good. Neither do I care that much about the official versions of 40k and Age of Sigmar, instead I prefer to create my own small stories within the AoS28 and Inq28 communities.īut that doesn’t mean that there doesn’t exist a few great gems from Black Library. The books just aren’t aimed at me, I have no great interest in the Horus Heresy, to be honest it feels like every new book dispels a bit more of the myth that surrounded that calamity. It seems that they are publishing a few new novels every month now and to be honest I don’t read the current crop. We’re working hard to add more to the list, so check back regularly or sign up to the Warhammer+ newsletter to receive updates directly to your inbox.Games Workshop have been publishing books since the 1980’s and as with all publishers the quality has varied a lot.
