Loose Ends by Darius Hinks (read Exit Wound in No Good Men, then this, then Skin Deep in The Vorbis Conspiracy) Amazing, right?

Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt Graham McNeill: I’d missed Uriel Ventris, and it seemed readers had too, so it was a real thrill to begin a new arc of adventures for him and the 4th Company in The Swords of Calth . And to see Uriel come to life as a miniature was just icing on the cake!

For me, Warhammer – especially Warhammer 40,000 – has this utterly unique character. Everything is wonderfully bleak and utterly baroque. A fine line between complete creative joy and utter existential despair.” Faced with a savage crime with frightening implications, Drask is thrust into a game of corruption and conspiracy, warring families, and blasphemous revelations. Only by mastering the bitter lessons of his career and his own tortured insight can Drask hope to bring the perpetrators to justice, and curb the monstrous hunger which stalks the city.The Knight Abominant is a beast in all phases of the game, with deadly guns that can reap infantry and heavy targets alike, an armoury of vicious close-combat weaponry in the form of an electroscourge and a tail-mounted balemace, and the malefic ability to manifest two psychic powers each turn. It’s the perfect overlord for your Fallen house. Vieles erinnerte mich an meine erste Lektüre eines Buches aus der Crime-Reihe, nämlich an "Blutsbande" von Chris Wraight. Logischerweise, da beide Bücher in derselben Stadt unter denselben Umständen spielen. Aber auch die jeweiligen Hauptfiguren sind sich in gewissen Bereichen ähnlich. Dennoch sagte mir Collins' Werk ein bisschen mehr zu. But onto the point of this post, I think this book provides a new contender for the title of oldest mortal. Crime fills a niche that has been wanted for so long in Warhammer, a commitment to ‘domestic Warhammer’,” Marc says. “Seeing things from the ground level without immense existential threats bearing down on the plot gives a lot of freedom for quirky salt-of-the-earth stories. These characters aren’t Space Marines or Inquisitors. They’re ordinary people, law enforcers and law-breakers, just trying to get by in the world.”

Grim Repast – Marc Collins – Track of Words

Gaunt soon discovered that the Tanith were light infantry without peer, their combination of woodsmanship and the distinct camo cloaks they wore ensuring their pre-eminence as scouts and stealth troopers. Gaunt would later use the innate skills of the Tanith to undertake daring raids and accomplish missions often deemed far beyond the capabilities of a regiment of Imperial Guard. See the world of the 41st Millennium from street level in this grisly crime drama that shines a light on what life is like in the Imperium's rancid underbelly. Every week sees amazing animations, shows, and content added to Warhammer+. On the way soon, there’s a closer look at True Metallic Gold effects on Citadel Colour Masterclass, a HUGE narrative Warhammer 40,000 Battle Report set on Iax , and the fourth instalment of the jaw-dropping Angels of Death series. Four Platoon is the regiment’s scout platoon, led by Oan Mkoll. However, unlike more traditional regimental organisations, the scouts of Four Platoon are often spread out among the other Tanith platoons to serve as specialists. Mkoll is among the very best, having long mastered his craft amid the shifting woods of his former homeworld. In the sprawling hive city of Varangantua, crime lords and gangers, law enforcers and vigilantes live cheek-by-jowl – killers and thieves from all echelons of society doing what they can to survive.World - "This city eats men." Varangantua truly becomes its own beast under Marc Collins. Set in Polaris, the poorest & coldest district, it is a bleak existence. Shadows cling to every wall, festering amongst the light, hiding twisted deeds within themselves. Here the law feels even more barren, a small flame barely alight. With Grim Repast out soon, Marc’s now on the hunt for other strange stories to tell in the darker recesses of Warhammer. The Volpone Bluebloods take on the Blood Pact in a brutal grind to liberate Gnostes as war rages across the Sabbat Worlds. What seems like a fairly direct campaign is complicated by mounting casualties and the unfathomable machinations of the enemy. The Volpone must prevail, through glory and honour. Head inside a mighty Leman Russ Demolisher, as an outsider takes command of a dysfunctional crew of Cadians. Faced with the fight of their life under the poisonous light of the Great Rift, the disparate team must learn to work together if they want to survive the conflict with the corrupted followers of the Ruinous Powers.

From Open Submissions to a Full-length Novel – Meet Black

An interesting addition to the steadily growing Warhammer Crime imprint, this is a horror novel framed in the conventions of a hardboiled detective story, deeply interwoven with the fabric of the setting's lore. Drask is a great protagonist. Haunted by betrayal and tragedy, he is a tough man who is nonetheless vulnerable to basic human doubt and fear, as we see vividly when the book's horror takes highly effective turns toward the psychological. Eater of Worlds will also be available in audiobook format in case you’re simply too berzerk to hold a novel. The Triumph of Saint Katherine An addition to the Warhammer Crime tag that leans into multiple crime genres but mainly procedural and noir. It's a relatively straightforward story that's written in such a way that it's easy to get lost unless it draws all of your attention. Lots of characters are introduced but they weren't exactly memorable for me and they tended to fulfil archetypical roles (think the friendly coroner, the unfriendly police chief, the helpful gangland boss, etc).

Probator Quillon Drask seems to attract the strangest cases – but nothing has prepared him for the blasphemous conspiracy he’s about to unravel. Now he must harness the twisted insight gleaned from his tortured past to bring the perpetrators to justice. Baggit is the fast-talking ratling with an eye for the big score. Clodde is the ogryn with a heart of gold and a head full of dreams. These abhuman deserters-turned-criminals operating in the city of Varangantua have crossed the wrong man for the last time – and now they’re on the run… A supernatural plague overtakes an entire planet, and a charismatic Arch-Deacon has to decide if the price of the cure is worth paying. This is Warhammer Horror at its finest – eerie, bizarre, and taking a different view of the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

The world building through description was solid, but is not something I care for. This could be a big sell for some reader, just not to my taste. Similarly, whilst it is 40k themed, there isn't a lot of metaphysical or other hallmarks of 40k. it's grounded and gritty, which many will appreciate; just not me. Without spoilers, the plot doesn't really twist. There is a lot unrevealed at the beginning, but it's not a mystery. I wasn't invested in the direction of the story as I was waiting for some twist. Again, me more than the story. We’ve even persuaded the authors to tell us a little bit about their process, and what they think makes these ones special. Penitent For those who have not read Grim Repast, I do recommend it. It is another good Warhammer Crime novel and gives a nice perspective about civilian life in 40k. The next chapter in the ongoing Sabbat Worlds saga focuses on Urdesh. Here, the Iron Snakes are on a mission to prevent a potent living weapon from falling into the hands of the Anarch. The fate of the entire crusade hangs in the balance. In the end, will it all have been for nothing? Ibram Gaunt Bookmark
