The Horus Heresy Vol. II: Visions of Darkness

The Horus Heresy #Art Book

by Alan Merrett

The most terrible of human conflicts is revealed in all of its brutal glory in this lavish, colour art book. Packed with stunning pictures, the book depicts mankind's epic struggle against the traitorous forces of WarmasterHorus after he allied with Chaos. The book also boasts many of John Blanche's concept sketches that inspired much of the finished artwork to Sabertooth Games' collectible card game. To accompany the images, GamesWorkshop's most respected keeper of knowledge, Alan Merrett, has unlocked the repositories to relate a wealth of information about the history of the Heresy and the stories behind the subject matter. Featuring work from awesome artists such as Adrian Smith, Clint Langley and many others, this high-quality art book is a grim testament to humanity's darkest hour!

[Ulzar Sadosh · Rating 2 out of 5]

I was disappointed in the second book. It started feeling much less like history/mythology than the first.
Now there is much more dialogue, while in the first book there was barely any.
The art is very inconsistent with some of art feeling like mediocre elfwood slop. Also, it's spread semi-randomly.
