3.5 - a couple of genuinely great stories, a few that are so-so, and a few that are somewhere in the middle. Worth a look, especially if you enjoy the more action-oriented side of 40k fiction.

This collection was my first ever dip into the ocean of content that is Warhammer. I thought it was a nice collage of stories, and it was a good introduction. Some of these stories are really good, and some are just fine, hence bringing the rating down a notch.
