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.
