Review # 1 was written on 2015-05-18 00:00:00 Clara Unterberg I am writing this review for one and ONLY one story. The Last Church by Graham McNeill. Trust me, if you think 40K is all about swords ripping through flesh and bone, you're wrong, well not entirely, it has that in gushing, flowing torrents of hot, warm and sticky blood, naught for naught do we Khronates chant BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD (all CAPS DAMN YOU, KHORNE DEMANDS CAPS!!) but it also has this, a story where no one dies, and not a sword is lifted. This is a dialogue, pure and simple between only two people, its more like a fairy tale vibe than anything, if fairy tales had warriors made of Iron and a world gone to hell (and that's just the early days of 40K) but if you do wish to read something worthwhile that is surprisingly philosophical (for a setting where Chainswords YEAH! are a thing) read the Last Church, and if you dont feel sad, just a little bit sad at the end, you Sir, are doing Grimdark all wrong!! GM, Dan Abnett and Aaron Dembski-Bowden are the KINGS of 40K story writing, oh and for my two cents, FUCK. MATT. WARD. and now, time to kill some SPESS MEHREENS!! BLOOOOOOOOOOD FOOOOOR THE BLOOOOOOOD GOOOOOOD!!

Review # 2 was written on 2018-03-01 00:00:00 Isaiah Deleon Blood Games by Dan Abnett - 5/5 Excellent Custodes tale. Wolf at the Door by Mike Lee - 3/5 Space Wolves versus Dark Eldar with a twist ending. A (thematic) prelude to the razing of Prospero storyline. Scions of the Storm by Anthony Reynolds - 3/5 A Wordbearers tale. It follows the same formula of most Space Marines chapter stories. The chapter encounters an alien threat that exposes its morality, hinting at its future. Apart from that, we get to meet Lorgar for the first time. The Voice by James Swallow - 5/5 A Sisters of Silence story. A sidequel of the Sisters storyline from The Flight of the Eisenstein. Swallow is probably the most cinematic author of the HH saga... Call of the Lion by Gav Thorpe - 3/5 A Dark Angels tale, following Astelan from Angels of Darkness. Again the formulaic plot of alien encounter and chapter's exposure, yet, Thorpe writes great action and the inner dichotomy of the Dark Angels is really interesting. The Last Church by Graham McNeill - 5/5 A tale from the Unification Wars' twilight days. The less you known before reading it, the more enjoyable it gets in the final lines... After Desh'ea by Matthew Farrer - 5/5 A tale of the World Eaters. Great story about Kharn the Betrayer and Angron. From concept to execution, it accomplices great things...
