A warning
This is a great deal. I got it as a gift for someone. The only problem is that it is out of stock and will not arrive on time.
If I try to cancel the order so that I can buy this from somewhere else, it will not let me because it is a "multiple-item promotion".
With that said, try to find this item somewhere else and if you still want to order this, be sure that you are willing to wait-for a while.
Excellence.
Frankly, this is outstanding work by the Black Library. With Black Library editions of 40k works hitting ridiculous prices aftermarket, it is a good idea to snap these up when available. If you snap up this one, the idea is even better as this book goes into background and behind the scenes of the Horus Heresy novel series.
However, I have to say I am somewhat dissapointed that it does not cover the wealth of campaigns only given a chapter in some of the novels. Seeing artwork displaying the early Death Guard in the storming action at the start of Flight of the Eisenstein would have been cool. But, this is about the Horus Heresy, so I suppose it makes sense.
Overall, the binding is excellent and the page paper is nice and thick. The writing touches on some previous concepts mentioned throughout the 40k omniverse, but manages to not be a dry rendition, nor expressly repetitive. The book's art, the central focus of the book, ranges from mediocre to outright beautiful. Indeed, some of the pages are so well done it really brings a great atmosphere to the read. I just wish BL did more bumper volumes like this and would consider reprinting out of print volumes. Especially covering insanely-priced OOP volumes like Xenology and the Sabbat Crusade.
How it all went wrong
Fantastic fantasy. SEE how the Warhammer saga all began. As I make my way through the Warhammer series, I have tried to visualize the images of what I"m reading about. I feel quite inadaquate after reading this book. I HIGHLY recommend the purchase of this book, above and beyond the incredible savings of four volumes for the price of one.
