New Chapter Added

I've added a new article to the Background section, directly continuing from the events of the last chapter. Check it out here.

Any comments, criticism and suggestions are welcome.

Enjoy.

The Story Continues...

The second part of the Shadow War series has been added to the Background section, featuring Van Baalen tracking down a rogue psyker. Here's an extract to whet your appetite:

“More work, Renfield, and not even anything remotely interesting. Rouge psyker tearing stuff up on some planet none of us have ever heard of. This isn't even my fething Ordo's job!”

“Sir,” Hansfeld uttered calmly from the darkness, “just read the other side.”

Van Baalen did so, and after a moment, his thunderous frown faded.

“Oh, that's interesting.” he chuckled, “Very interesting.” Leaving the others in silence, he strode for the bridge.  

The full story can be found the the Background section. Hope you enjoy it.

An epilogue to this story should follow over the next few days, and in future I hope to post at least one chapter of either Wolfe's Tale or The Shadow War each week, so check back often for more 40k action.

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.
