New Fiction Series Begins Here!

Hello again, readers. It's been a while since I've posted here, but I've finally added some new content. In the Background section, you will now find the first part of a new fiction series, Wolfe's Tale and The Shadow War. 

It's the first in a series that I plan to develop over time, supplemented by background pieces, battle reports and maybe even other stuff as well.

This series follows characters who feature in my 40k games, and will eventually evolve into two separate series:

The Wolfe's Tale, which will follow Commissar-General Wolfe on the front lines with the First Antor Rifles, so from this you can expect plenty of combat scenes of all types, and a sense of what it's like to be a humble guardsman in a world of Gods and monsters. While the war drags endlessly on, he becomes more and more aware of a cancerous secret at the heart of the regiment which threatens the entire sector.

The Shadow War will follow Inquisitors Van Baalen and Skjor as they did deeper into the conspiracy from the outside, so you can look forward to lots of skulking around the underhives, sneaking through the shadows and plenty of good old inquisitorial skulduggery.


This story introduces both sets of characters, which, as I mentioned, will eventually get their own series.

Here's a taster of what's in the story: 

“But you have doubts?”

“Of course I've got my bloody doubts, Hansfeld.” Van Baalen exploded, his armoured fist halting only moments from the diminutive acolyte's face. “Look at him. He's a wreck. He won't walk for a month, It'll be a miracle if he can fight before the year's out, and Emperor only knows what kind of a mess his mind's in.” He frowned as, on the other side of the glass, Wolfe contorted again, his face curling in a noiseless scream. Van Baalen's frown softened. “Poor bastard.”

“It's your call, sir, but I don't agree. If this goes wrong, there's every chance we lose the whole sector.”

Enjoy.
