Grim Repast (Warhammer 40,000)

Product Information

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. Despite possessing a ruthless streak a mile wide and a burning hatred towards Gaunt, who he blames for abandoning Tanith to its destruction, Elim Rawne is nonetheless a highly capable commander and leads the regiment’s third platoon. An expert with a blade, Rawne’s handsome face hides a murderous glint in his eyes, and he always keeps his razor-sharp Tanith warknife to hand. Master Sniper Hlaine Larkin 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.” Speak the truth (or lies) with the most kunnin’ of all the Kruleboyz . Gobsprakk is the de facto leader of the entire faction, and his Corpse-rippa Vulcha, Killabeak, is a potent symbol of his high status.

Amazing, right? If, however, you’ve yet to read the novels and are unfamiliar with these six core members of Gaunt’s Ghosts, allow us to formally introduce them (don’t worry – we’ll keep it spoiler-free). Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt With Grim Repast out soon, Marc’s now on the hunt for other strange stories to tell in the darker recesses of Warhammer. Grim Repast does an excellent job of exploring the realities of day-to-day life in the hive, setting a fast pace filled with gritty action and some well-written surprises. Although Drask doesn't have much of a personality beyond "detective that rigorously upholds the Lex," his mentor's legacy and almost-fanatical devotion to his work are enough to carry the story. Baggit is a fast-talking ratling sniper with a greedy eye and loose morals. Clodde is an ogryn, a brute with a core of decency and a desire for a better life. Two abhuman deserters turned thieves, at large in the monolithic city of Varangantua, where only the tough or the ruthless survive. Having landed in debt to a savage crime lord, Baggit and Clodde end up in the crosshairs of the meanest, most puritanical sanctioner in the city. Caught between two powerful enemies, and with innocent lives at stake, the unlikely companions must think fast and hustle hard before death points a las-pistol in their direction… And there you have it – six stunning miniatures that perfectly encapsulate the characters they represent from the novels. Whether you’re an avid fan of the series or a painter looking for your next challenge, Gaunt’s Ghosts will be the perfect addition to your collection.Very very descriptive book. Almost over descriptive. Almost. But you do get a good picture of every scene and the overall picture of the world it’s set. Born into riches, Probator Symeon Noctis attempts to atone for his past sins by championing the powerless of Nearsteel district. But the sprawling city of Varangantua is uncaring of its masses, and when a bisected corpse is discovered in the neutral zone between Nearsteel and the Adeptus Mechanicus enclave of Steelmound, Noctis finds himself cast into his most dangerous case yet. Partnering with the tech-priest Rho-1 Lux of the Collegiate Extremis, Noctis is drawn into a murky world of tech-heresy, illegal servitors, and exploitation that could end his career, or his life. 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.

Veteran probator Quillon Drask thinks that he has seen all the dangers, depravities and villains that Varangantua has to offer, but he is about to discover a whole new level of horror. Already traumatised and ostracised after his last lethal case and the betrayal that accompanied it, Drask’s first new investigation is not the simple job he was hoping for, as a body has been found in the dying district of Polaris. The victim, a businessman on the wrong side of town, has been gruesomely mutilated, the implications of his injuries have frightening implications. Remember that it isn’t a competition, it’s an audition. What matters is that you make sure you follow all the guidance, bring your A-game, and above all make sure you’re writing something that you feel passionately about. Find that part of Warhammer that makes you happy.” Now that we’ve got the news of those incredible miniatures out of our system, let’s talk about… BOOKS.

As more bodies are discovered, Drask finds himself chasing after a deadly killer who murders and dismembers without compunction and who has a sudden obsession with tormenting Drask. Forced to play a deadly game that uncovers the corruption of his own organisation and sets him against the city’s elite, Drask finds himself alone and afraid against an enemy he doesn’t understand. Only his twisted insights into the criminal mind, as well as the lessons of his career and devious dead mentor, offer the answers that he needs to solve the case and stop the killer. However, not even Drask’s dark mind can comprehend the true horrors that lie beneath his city, one that connects to Varangantua’s past and a dangerous hunger that has always controlled people like him. 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.
