While we’ve seen other approaches to hives cities over the years, notably on Necromunda and Chris Wraight’s Vaults of Terra , “Varangantua is a playground built for these stories alone”. In the Mortal Realms, the Daughters of Khaine dominate the Realm of Shadow. This novel weaves three stories together, telling the tales of three witch-aelves trying to achieve impossible tasks to prove their devotion to Khaine. Covens of Blood will be available as an audiobook. The Chronicles of Malus Darkblade: Volume Two Varangantua is but one city among billions, but in it we see a microcosm of the people who make up the Imperium of Mankind. Not the warriors who sell their lives dearly on battlefields far from home, but rather the downtrodden and desperate who do what they must to survive. Quillon Drask is just one such citizen, fighting his own battles to root out the truth, no matter how ugly. Containing oodles of new pieces to make dozens of configurations, this lavish launch set is the first place you can get hold of the new Chaos Knights kits, their codex, and their datacards. With enough bits to build one psychically potent Knight Abominant and two War Dogs, this is the perfect basis for a rippin’, tearin’, stompin’ new army, or excellent reinforcements for an existing warband of walkers.

What I would say to anyone who is trying the Open Submissions is don’t be discouraged. Every time I didn’t get through, I learned something about my writing. I looked at what worked and what didn’t, and I tried to apply that to future submissions. My skill increased as I polished and tweaked,” he explains.

Early on it becomes clear that this is an enjoyably noirish story, with both a troubled protagonist whose tormented thoughts won’t let him rest or look aside, and a great sense of atmosphere. While this is a crime novel not a horror novel it is genuinely quite gruesome in places, and Collins sets the tone right away, opening the first chapter with a scene of eye surgery that’s enough to set the squeamish squirming. There’s nothing gratuitous though, with the darkness and violence – whether shown or implied – always in service to the plot, and reminding the reader that 40k is a fundamentally grim setting. Polaris is “cold and bleak and unforgiving”, and its mixture of dingy squalor and extravagant, if fading, grandeur – because this is 40k, where the contrast between the privileged few and everyone else is turned up to 11 – is perfectly suited to a Warhammer Crime story.The world building through description was solid, but is not something I care for. This could be a big sell for some reader, just not to my taste. Similarly, whilst it is 40k themed, there isn't a lot of metaphysical or other hallmarks of 40k. it's grounded and gritty, which many will appreciate; just not me. Without spoilers, the plot doesn't really twist. There is a lot unrevealed at the beginning, but it's not a mystery. I wasn't invested in the direction of the story as I was waiting for some twist. Again, me more than the story. Several of the stories in this anthologies were originally released as individual e-shorts (see below) before being bundled together here, alongside a further four stories. Every detective story lives or dies by the quality of its central character, and while Drask exhibits plenty of the usual tropes they’re combined in such a way as to make him both believable and grimly compelling to follow. He’s a man who sees patterns that others don’t but also darkness wherever he turns, who’s troubled and labouring under the shadows of his past, but determined to be his own man. These qualities make him a great detective if not a happy one, forever balanced on a knife-edge, and for all his insight and ability the work he undertakes brings him as much pain as it does comfort. As Drask says himself, there are “no gifts here…only curses.” If you can, it’s best to read the short story Cold Cases (in No Good Men) before this to get a deeper sense of Drask’s history, as the events of that story have a bearing on proceedings here, but it’s not essential. Execution - It's oppressive, Varangantua and the Polaris district. The darkest corners of the city drip out from the book as Collins tries to pull you down into his work alongside Quillon, your hairs stand on edge as he rounds each corner. You start to realise this is more of a horror novel at times. Alongside two issues of White Dwarf, you’ll find Imperial Armour Volume 2 added to the Warhammer Vault – it’s the definitive guide to the fighting vehicles of the Adeptus Astartes.
