I think Cain should get more points in accessibility, being a important "life in the Imperium" dealie.

I was just about to ask about stories that justify the "battle brothers" ally rating between Eldar and Dark Eldar, are there others?

I just found out about The Beast Arises, how can there be 12 books about a loving Orc war? Are they any good?

Read like one of those fake sections you get sometimes in pirated BL ebooks

I'd be thrilled to hear some examples.

I'm halfway through Blacktalon by Andy Clark right now and it is, by far, the best AoS novel I've read. I really hope he sticks the landing because it's been truly amazing so far and really pushes and challenges the setting.

What does it mean to challenge the AOS setting?

I just felt like posting my favorite passage of Warhammer fiction

quote:

Finally, at his fiftieth year of his reign, a great event would occur. In that year, Emperor Sigmar Heldenhammer, greatest of all Mankind's rulers, stood up from his throne, placed down his crown and took up Ghal-Maraz and walked out of the Great Hall of his capital. He passed Wolfgart and His chosen bodyguard who were roaring with laughter at some jest or remembrance of times past. He strode down the path towards the market square where folk haggled and bartered with loud voices and much good humour. He passed them, smelling roasting meat and hearing the merrymaking of children playing in the gutters, as He had done in His youth so many years before.

Down the streets He walked, where men sat and gambled or sparred with one another and womenfolk talked with babes on their hips or prepared food for the next meal, or, having already cooked it, ate broth and beans out of earthenware pipkin balanced on their knees. Girls sat in groups, busy over fine embroidery. Sigmar saw life carry on in all its vibrancy as He walked by, unnoticed by all. Out through the iron bound gate He walked and down the well-worn track. Carts rumbled past bringing trade and wealth into the town. On either side the fields were tended by men and women, sowing seeds from baskets hung around their necks. Children ran behind them, beating drums and yelling to frighten off the greedy crows that circled overhead. He saw sheep and goats grazing peacefully, overlooked by shepherds. Then into the forest He plunged, journeying eastward towards the mountains.

He passed foresters as they cleared the track of fallen branches and laid traps for game. They carried hunting bows and axes and were accompanied by slavering hounds. But the beasts picked up no scent and Sigmar blessed them silently as He passed. When He emerged from the forest onto the eastward plain He was no longer alone. "lb His left trotted a wild, grey-headed wolf, and to His right there was a giant boar with black tusks. As He set off up the hillside they followed at His heels faithfully: the wolf with his wildness and courage, the boar with his wits and tenacity. When Sigmar reached the top of the hill, He turned. Before Him and sweeping out to the north and west was the forest.

Cutting through it in all directions were roads. Every town, village and settlement was connected, travellers and tradesmen moved like ants over them, spreading news and prosperity wherever they went. Troops of warriors tramped and cavalry cantered about the land lending the populace protection from danger. Smoke rose high in the sky from the villages � which were burgeoning into towns, which in their turn were growing into cities � and wherever Sigmar looked He could set the strength of mankind grow. Through Him, the tribes were united in a common cause. Enemies lurked everywhere but together men would overcome them. Sigmar looked at what He had forged with His strength, cunning and courage and He knew His work had come to an end. It was time for others to take up His mantle and forge an indomitable Empire.

It's going to be funny as hell if Abbadon kills Horus and Big E kills Sanguinius.

I've been waiting for that moment in the HH series when they really just flip the fukkin script.
