Damn good

I thought it was pretty awesome. Great pics and feel for Warhammer 40K

Some Good Art, Some Good Background Material

This art book is the first of a series that will be released, providing artwork and background material covering the Horus Heresy era of Games Workshop's "Warhammer 40,000" game setting. The artwork comes from a related collectible card game, "The Horus Heresy," from Sabertooth Games. Taken by itself, this book alone may not be all that impressive to some: the amount of artwork presented is limited, and even though there is a good amount of written background material it covers only a small slice of the "historical" era in question. But as this is only the first in what will presumably be a multi-part set of books covering the whole of the Horus Heresy, it isn't really meant to stand on its own. It's only the first chapter, as it were, and will undoubtedly look much better when accompanied by others in the set. I myself enjoyed seeing the artwork presented, and the background material is an essential account of events that shaped the fictional "history" of the Imperium of Man in GW's "Warhammer 40K Universe." Granted, it could have contained more art and more background.... but then it would have cost more, too! This is a must-have for anyone who's a die-hard fan of Warhammer 40K.
