It wouldn't be the first time we have seen this sort of thing either, as many fans will recall how previous War Zone books have this unfortunate habit of turning into a curb-stomping in favour of one side.
He might have even been a good choice for a novel about the event, but a campaign book? Given the lack of Ultramarines present on the battlefield, all this seems like it will devolve into is a total win for Chaos on the whole. Given the poor response to the same approach shown in The End Times, this seems to make him a good choice only for one side here. M42 rolls around, midnight hits, everyone dies, Chaos wins. In addition - and this bears repeating - this is also an author who has always viewed this event as the end of everything. On the other hand, emphasis upon the characters and no one else has been a long standing problem with these sorts of books, robbing the focus away from the armies as a whole. He also single-handledly revitalized interest in the Night Lords, and can produce dramatic, engrossing stories from a character driven angle few can match. On the one hand, Dembski-Bowden produced the fluff for the Supplement Codex: Black Legion, which was easily one of the best produced in that entire series. This is exceptionally good and bad for a few very different reasons. That said, there are a lot of warning lights coming up here, starting with its writer.Ī few days ago, Aaron Dembski-Bowden confirmed on Twitter that he would be the man to helm this endeavor and press forwards the first stages into M42. I will also freely admit I am biased against this idea, having argued that it would be better to explore the vast gaps in Warhammer 40,000's timeline than rushing into the future. We have had surprisingly good books appear in otherwise terrible series, and I will be the first to praise the lore if it's great on here (and probably the only person to do so, given the state of most reviews these days). Now, let's be clear here: These are just personal thoughts which have been based upon past experience and extremely general bits of information. Unfortunately, things do not look promising. In fact, it could be the big mistake if Games Workshop does not utterly nail this one. They also almost all ranged from mediocre to downright bad, and this just seems like another mistake. We have seen quite a few of late experimenting with ongoing plotlines and resolving ongoing issues, even reintegrating a few concepts from the old Thirteenth Black Crusade campaign. With its planned release next weekend, Gathering Storm: Fall of Cadia is the latest in the long line of War Zone books set to try and advance the story. Chaos will emerge totally victorious, and the Imperium will crumble. Cadia will fall, Chaos will spread and the galaxy will be torn asunder.
