Grim Repast (Warhammer 40,000)

Product Information

Collins continues the Warhammer Crime trend of really bringing Varangantua to life, populating his story with memorable characters and locations, and digging into classic 40k themes of faith and futility, power and inequality – in particular the vast gulf between the rich and all the rest. Warring families, corrupt officials, and a monstrous hunger stalk these streets, and Drask must overcome his own inner agonies to bring justice to the tormented city.

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

I think this is a great book even for people that don’t have a deep understanding of the 40K universe. All in all, a stylish debut that brings much to an already interesting setting - very hoping we hear more about the characters and ideas Marc introduces here! All of your favourite shows are slated for the official Twitch channel , too – so check out the schedule to plan your viewing.

I’ve been deeply involved with Warhammer 40,000’s ongoing narrative, with Dawn of Fire powering on, but the big noise for 2021 has to be Godblight , the concluding part of the Dark Imperium trilogy.

Grim Repast – Marc Collins – Track of Words

Opposing the forces of Chaos are the noble Imperial Knights, whose new codex contains all the rules you need to get them onto the tabletop, plus a wealth of in-depth background and stunning artwork.We have a lot to talk about, so let’s jump right in – starting with all the Kruleboyz you’ve been waiting for. Probator Quillon Drask seems to attract the strangest cases – but nothing has prepared him for the blasphemous conspiracy he’s about to unravel. The heads and arms are interchangeable across all the bodies, they’ve got a selection of weapons, and there are enough bits to build a Boss, a Banner Bearer, and your choice of two different musicians. Expecting the worst, Oltyx discovers that the orks are the least of the horrors that face him and the entire empire of the necrons.

I finished the last of my recaff and took another glance at the chronometer – my informant would be here soon. The big, powerful, if somewhat unkempt first officer of the Tanith First and Only, Colm Corbec leads the regiment’s second platoon. I understand I can change my preference through my account settings or unsubscribe directly from any marketing communications at any time.When Probator Agusto Zidarov of the city’s enforcers is charged with locating the missing scion of a wealthy family, he knows full well that the chances of finding him alive are slight. It all comes together into a satisfying whole that really elevates this still-developing range, continuing to add texture and detail to Varangantua as a setting while delivering the most confident and effective crime story yet.

An opaque and frankly boring one-note hero/narrator, coupled with uneven pacing, means this is a "pass" for me, tks. But regardless of station, whether criminal or law-keeper, one fact remains true – this city is dirty, and no one escapes it without a little sin.

Drask is an interesting character; already an outsider in his profession and haunted by the trauma of his debut story but every inch the hard boiled investigator. And this really does feel like a proper crime novel – a serial killer story, to be specific – set in the 40k universe, equally enjoyable for its procedural elements and its exploration of ‘domestic 40k’. His sanity is the cost however, as despite choking down his own vomit, he cannot bare to look away from what he sees, and will come to see.
