Grim Repast (Warhammer 40,000)

Product Information

Another anthology brings together nine short stories from the rotten metropolis. You’ll read stories that explore everything from powerful syndicates, corrupt Enforcers, petty gangs, and the survivors who do what they must to make it through the daily struggle. Grim Repast Connections: I would suggest reading the short story Aberrant (in No Good Men) before Bloodlines, and then Outside Powers (in The Vorbis Conspiracy) afterwards. Having been a rising star under the command of Imperial Warmaster Slaydo, the freshly appointed Colonel-Commissar was set to command three newly founded Astra Militarum regiments from the forest world of Tanith. 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

We’ll have all of the week’s hobby news right here on Warhammer Community, including miniature reveals tomorrow and a monstrous amount of coverage from the absolutely enormous reveals coming at Warhammer Fest Online 2022. Don’t miss the live Twitch streams of both Warhammer Fest and the US Open from Seattle. Quillon Drask is a haunted man, wrestling with the daemons of his past. With a reputation that draws only the strangest cases, he is intimately familiar with the malevolent underbelly of Varangantua. Yet nothing that has gone before could have prepared the probator for the horrors which now blight the district of Polaris. Faced with a savage crime with frightening implications, Drask is thrust into a game of corruption and conspiracy, warring families, and blasphemous revelations. Only by mastering the bitter lessons of his career and his own tortured insight can Drask hope to bring the perpetrators to justice, and curb the monstrous hunger which stalks the city.The next chapter in the ongoing Sabbat Worlds saga focuses on Urdesh. Here, the Iron Snakes are on a mission to prevent a potent living weapon from falling into the hands of the Anarch. The fate of the entire crusade hangs in the balance. In the end, will it all have been for nothing? Ibram Gaunt Bookmark As for the elements unique to Warhammer - I'm trying to avoid spoilers here, but this is very much a WH40k novel and not simply a horror/crime tale with extra skulls. Its links to the wider universe are subtle, but they're significant, and they go right down to the marrow of the story, so to speak. Hlaine ‘Mad’ Larkin may be somewhat eccentric, but it certainly doesn’t affect his aim. In fact, Larkin is widely lauded as the regiment’s finest marksman, and Gaunt often makes use of his dead-eye skills to eliminate threats to their mission from afar. ‘Try Again’ Bragg

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. Crime fills a niche that has been wanted for so long in Warhammer, a commitment to ‘domestic Warhammer’,” Marc says. “Seeing things from the ground level without immense existential threats bearing down on the plot gives a lot of freedom for quirky salt-of-the-earth stories. These characters aren’t Space Marines or Inquisitors. They’re ordinary people, law enforcers and law-breakers, just trying to get by in the world.”

If you like the sound of this one, we can confirm there’s already a sequel in the works too. Steel Tread
