This was a really strong and entertaining collection of stories about adventure and life in the Mortal Realms. I especially enjoyed Strachan’s work and the last story in the collection.
Amazing collection of stories! Fast read. Much joy it gives to a longtime WH fan.
(rating is for the title novella, I'll rate the other stories separately)
If you are new to the Age of Sigmar universe, like myself, this book is a a worthwhile introduction to the world. The smaller stories are hit and miss for the most part but the title book, Thunderstrike, was an excellent read and really got me excited to read more books in the Age of Sigmar universe.
"It is on the anvil of pain that the gods forge heroes."I picked this little compilation of short stories for £5 in my local Games Workshop while looking for new reading material: I get the impression that it's meant as an introductory read for people first getting into the game Warhammer: Age of Sigmar, given it contains all the major factions in the game get at least one story in these pages, from the warrior angels of the Stormcast Eternals, to the blood-crazed warrior women known as the Daug...
An amazing bargain price of £5 for some of the best Age of Sigmar fiction out there.The subjects of these stories vary across the whole breadth of AOS, and some will be more or less to your personal taste, but for me I want to single out the excellent stories by Richard Strachan and Eric Gregory.3 stories by Richard Strachan, including the Thunderstrike novella, and all are superb. Each of these stories is very different: a close-up and personal look at Stormcasts beset by genuinely menacing Ork...
Introductory book to almost all the Warhammer: Age of Sigmar factions. Reading this book could help you decide which army to buy, collect, paint and/or play. Stories tend to be grouped together: Order, Destruction, Undead, Chaos. This book won't give you an explanation of lore, but you don't need to know much about Age of Sigmar lore to enjoy this book. Some stories are more interesting and better written than others.
Started this book months ago - honestly it was a slog although I don’t know if the book is to blame for that. Most of the shorts were decent though and I particularly liked the last few stories. Worth a read if you want a taste of the fiction of Warhammer without committing much.
