Dark Heresy: The Lathe Worlds Sourcebook

Dark Heresy RPG (First edition)

by Games Workshop

For ten thousand years, the tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus have led the Cult of the Omnissiah. From their bastion Forges on the Lathe Worlds, they control all Holy Technology in the Calixis Sector. The Lathe Worlds is a supplement for Dark Heresy that reveals the secret history of the Adeptus Mechanicus, from their mysterious founding to their current struggles against tech-heresy. Whats more, players will gain access to new alternate careers such as the Mech-Assassin and Agent of the Lords Dragon, and arm themselves with weapons and gifts of the Omnissiah. And in a thrilling new adventure, your team will journey to a lost comet-station, where theyll stop renegade tech-priests from heretical experiments into the Warp!

A sourcebook for the Warhammer 40,000 role-playing game Dark Heresy, this was a great read for those interested in the Warhammer 40K universe. There is some basic background on the Adeptus Mechanicus organization as a whole and then a lot of specific information on the organization and locations of interest specific to the Calixis Sector setting (as there should be since its a sourcebook). There are a lot of great equipment upgrades, alternate career ranks and adventure ideas (I especially like the description of the Voca Consensio, Sheol 17 and the Hippocrasian Agglomeration). The adventure at the end of the book, The Light of Reason, has potential and I might try to run it for my group in the future. If you are a fan of Warhammer 40K or Dark Heresy, come check out my campaign on Obsidian Portal: https://faith-and-betrayal.obsidianpo...
