Brutal Kunnin: An Epic Waaagh! Novel (Warhammer 40,000)

Product Information

Big new Tyranid beastie ? Brutalis Dreadnought ? Something even bigger ? Ghazghkull will tear them all to shreds with Gork’s Klaw – and as the Prophet of Da Great Waaagh!, his bodyguard of Meganobz gets even choppier. Er, klaw-ier? Weapon Spotlight Thanks as ever to Mike for taking the time to answer these questions! I’m sure I’m not the only person very excited to read this novel – it sounds so much fun! Expect a review just as soon as I get hold of a copy…

Orks have plenty of teknical export-ease – which means it’s easy to export a bullet into someone’s noggin. The Meks cook up loads of different weapons, from shootas and sluggas to skorchas and snazzguns . The high point of Ork engineering has got to be the Stompa – a walking effigy of the Great Green Gods with enough guns to wipe out entire squads, like the hefty deffkannon . In this story, two rival Ork Warlords decide to beseige a Mechanicus Forge World to try and grab some loot. This isn't a massive WAAAGH of any sort, just 2 small fleets that want to smash some 'teef' in. I think it's also worth noting that the passage doesn't rule out the possibility of Chaos Orkz entirely; it just explains why they're so very difficult to create! (Question for those who've read more on the subject: are Tuska's boys ever actually stated to worship Khorne, or are they simply bog standard Orks that he resurrects for his own amusement?) With a contender from each clan warring to succeed the dead warboss, this standalone novel is set in the same ork-verse as Mike’s previous teef-rattling tales.*** It’s filled with fantastic characters, dark humour, and orkish hijinks. Throw in a prophecy from a weirder-than-usual weirdboy – and a grot revolutionary with a shiv who isn’t afraid to use it – and you know you’re in for a great time.”

Table of Contents

Is a lot of my enjoyment down to the novelty of reading an Ork perspective? Absolutely. But that’s no bad thing, since the rest of the writing also hits the mark for me. All of this snazzy loot is encased in a luxury presentation box, so everyone can see who’s the flashiest git in town!**

Listen to it because: get into the heads of a band of orks in the first-ever novel from their point of view. Discover what it takes to be part of the Waaagh! and carve out your own little piece of glory amidst the mayhem in a novel that's brutal, kunnin' - and darkly hilarious. Iron Warrior Warpsmith Gavrak Daelin (interacts with Zaefa, get's killed by a combination of her and Mitranda, wants revenge against Vast's Titan for destroying a corrupted warlord titan that was his charge) Each chapter in the book is from the perspective of a different character, roughly 40% Ufthak, and another 40% from the perspective of Zaefa Varaz, Hephaesto’s Lexico Arcanus. The remaining chapters are divided between other characters which would be spoilers, which we won’t be discussing here.
