Review: The Emperor Expects - The Beast Arises, Book 3

In February we had the third installment of The Beast Arises series, The Emperor Expects by Gav Thorpe. As with previous reviews from the series, SPOILER ALERT for the remainder of the article.

Review: Predator, Prey - The Beast Arises Book 2

With the release of the third book in the Beast Arises series last weekend, it's about time I finished my review of the second installment in the Beast Arises series from Black Library, Predator, Prey. This will be my second time writing this post as the first was eaten by the warp, though I also didn't like the direction it went. As with part 1 of the review, SPOILER ALERT.

Road to NOVA: Space Wolf List Building

On the heels of Evan and his BBB (aka Big Bad Bugs), I have been asked to jump in and participate in the Huzzah Road to NOVA event.  Of course I am bringing my Space Wolves to the party, but I don't know which of the lists I want to run.  We have a couple of weeks to get everything set, but I want to bring something that can not only deal with the 4 guys I am fighting, but I "could" also take to the actual event.

So Let's Get to List Building.

Officio Assassinorum Dataslate First Look

Now that Assassins are no longer in the Grey Knights Codex (that review coming soon), they instead are included in their own dataslate, opening them up to be taken in just about any army.

White Dwarf #29 - Grey Knights

This week's White Dwarf has arrived, and it features the somewhat surprise codex release of Grey Knights. For August at least, Games Workshop is ramping up the already frantic rules release schedule, giving us a second codex this month.

In the teaser blurb, it is hinted that the mysterious past of the Grey Knights will be at least partially revealed as tying back to their founding during the Horus Heresy. The promise of possibly linking up with the Garro series has me at least intrigued from a fluff perspective.

Nemesis (Horus Heresy Book 13) Review

Next up in the Horus Heresy Series is Nemesis, by James Swallow. Ever since Flight of the Eisenstein, I have looked forward to reading more of his work. Listening to the Garro Audio dramas he wrote were fun, but I didn't get the same feeling from them as his novel. This novel focuses on the Officio Assassinorum and agents of its five clades: Eversor, Callidus, Culexus, Venenum, Vanus, and Vindicare.

As with recent reviews, I will put the spoiler alert here: below the jump I will not hold back details I think are relevant for discussion.
