all of this, without slavishly following its storyline. So our beloved author focused on a primarch tale, with addition of lore creation events that has a direct reflection in the contents of the new boxed game. But Guy Haley and BL decided not to repeat everything mentioned in the new bible and thus provided us a glimpse of events after Indomitus closure (I think Indomitus Crusade events would be described eventually throughout the time at some later date in stories from all the BL authors). Indomitus Crusade and Imperium Nihilis would be delivered to us on 17th of June. A monumental paradigm shift in tabletop and universal events are about to be unleashed. Warhammer 40,000, a universe we loved and lived with for a long time for almost over the thirty years is ready to undergo a fundamental shift. From the point of view of the Ultramarines fans it’s a must read even through a lot of cons.Īs we all know, big things were happening at Games Workshop. Dark Imperium is also a novel about Ultramar and Ultramarines and everything related to them.
There is a fourth point - but it does not need a rating. as a book about the Primarch Reborn and Chaos resurgent. as a supplement to a new setting bible and as a book that tried to explain events which we will be reading about only after the 17th of June with the 8th edition release. I will rate this book from the 3 points of view: It was a hard book, harder than most and while reading it you will see why.īut let’s get to the main course and disect a starter novel for a brand new edition of W40K. The author himself said that there was a lot of adjustment to the story to make sure he got it just right. Thus, as one might expect, it turned out to be quite a long book. Here we should make a point that it is a really complicated novel that tries to be 3 things at once - a supplement for a ‘codex’/new bible release a lore building event that provides ground for a solid period of time and events that made the universe cringe in turmoil and an advertisement for the new model range and setting (let’s not forget that GW main focus is on the tabletop and models - so not a surprise here).
Guy Haley wrote his own contribution to the Dark Imperium, the brand new edition of Warhammer 40,000 (which is just days away from the official release). The Black Library is not an exception of that rule. With upcoming 8th edition release all branches of GW went into overdrive to deliver a coverage for ‘new/old’ setting.
