I just made a review but the computer crash. Damn you!
This book was quite good. For one who is trying to read more about 13th black crusade this book is definitely a must have. The writing is simple and you get a view of the grand scenario behind it. The images accompanying this book are: a) photos - horrible and don't add nothing b) drawings - excelent.
There were some stories that I would like to see a full lenghted novel like:
Saint Josmane's Hope - specially the last mission
Invasion of Cadia - Maybe a series of novels that cover from the beginning until the end.
Khârn the Betrayer - Need I say more?
Subjugators chapter
Eldrad Ulthran - Story of this most important eldar
Ulthor World or Eidolon - Battles and transformation.

There are here, only in this War, room to make dozens of books, as the made in HH. But of course I know it's not possible. My only complain to BL is that they are going astray with their new policy. Short stories each weak, novellas each month and "exlclusive" books every other month. I think it's ridicolous. I know that companies need to survive but their policy of publishing is almost too stupid. Usually they had a website that could tell us what books were going to be release. With some suprises which were good. Now, I have only the pre-orders but if I go to amazon I can see the BL release schedule for 6 or 7 months. This is just absurd. I used to buy everything from them and gave the thousands of pounds. Now? I won't buy from them (maybe a novella from time to time) and buy from bookdepository or amazon.
Shame on you BL. Look at the prices with other publishers and the selling prices on Amazon. Maybe discounts from buying from you. Free Shipping on smaller fees. I was curious. Are BL making more money now or last year or in 2007/08/09/10 ?

This is a sourcebook really, meant to give lore, flavor, but more than anything an overarching "who, what, where" for the various armies, so you can play out your own little fight within the greater engagement. Narrative is not a main focus of the book, especially not like it is in most Black Library books. It's got some goofy moments, some good critique, some lower quality critique and some epic moments (especially towards the end). It's cool to read previous lore and see where the stuff we have no originated from, and how ideas changed over the years.
For the better, I think.

Story line and Art collection for the original campaign event of the 13th Black Crusade, before they red-lined everything and redid it all. Spoiler Alert: This book was way better then what came after.
