![]() ![]() It goes to great lengths to discuss the war zone, as well as the Forge World of Metalica, of which plays a pivotal role in the campaign. The book introduces the location of where the campaign is set beautifully. The great news is, from the off, I found the lore and writing in this book to be fantastic and a step up from the Psychic Awakening series. I’ll give you a couple of lines to decide if you are going to skip ahead to the next heading. Now of course Age of Sigmar is still relatively new, and has more freedom in where the story can go than 40k, which has been written about for decades and has years and years of documented lore, battles and characters that cannot simply be disregarded.įor this reason I’m going to hit you with a spoiler warning at this point, as I’m going to touch upon the lore presented in this book. It provided genuine ‘wow’ moments and described key points which will affect the upcoming storylines of the system. Secondly, we’ve recently had the first of the Broken Realms series of books for Warhammer Age of Sigmar, and in my opinion this has set the bar when it comes to campaigns and stories. That was until the final book, Pariah, which directly led onto the Pariah Nexus and the return of the Silent King. ![]() The series was meant to be really driving the narrative going into the new edition of the game, but instead ended up focusing on smaller battlefields, warzones and systems dotted about the galaxy which, whilst good at being short stories, did very little for the overarching story. ![]() Whilst I did not read the entirety of the Psychic Awakening series of books, those that I did let me down on this front. Up until the final moments of 7th edition the lore didn’t appear to be going anywhere, but that has certainly changed more recently. The first section of the book is a really important one in my opinion, for a number of reasons.įirst of all, this is being sold as a campaign book, so I wanted to see solid new lore that was going to push on the narrative of 40k as a whole. We’ve got glorious maps, detailed descriptions and well placed box-outs. The artwork throughout mixes old and new and there doesn’t appear to be any wasted space. Whilst I always mention it, I will mention it again, the production quality of these books is fantastic. ![]()
