For ten thousand years, the massed armies of the Astra Militarum have defended the Imperium from the multitudinous horrors that seek to overwhelm it. With guns and tanks, determination and courage, these human soldiers fight across a thousand war zones, in a war that has no ending. This anthology showcases some of the most famous regiments of the Astra Militarum along with their charismatic commanders, heroes such as Commissar Yarrick and Colonel 'Iron Hand' Straken.

Read it because
Commissar Yarrick, Colonel Straken and Lord Castellan Creed take centre stage in eight tales of the ordinary men and women of the Imperium's armies - including a trilogy of tales featuring Creed and his Cadian Eighth, leading up to the Battle of Tyrok Fields, where the general took command and forged his legend. See exactly what he did to earn the title of Lord Castellan as he saves Cadia from disaster and ruin.

Toby Frost
Brief content visible, double tap to read full content.
Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
Toby Frost is the author of the Dark Renaissance and Space Captain Smith series, and two stand-alone novels.
The Dark Renaissance series tells the story of Giulia Degarno, mercenary and assassin, in a fantasy world full of hardboiled action and grimdark intrigue. Expect devious princes, deadly plots and magically-enhanced technology.
The Imposters tells the story of two mismatched secret agents - a memory-wiped spy and a reprogrammed android - trying to unravel a conspiracy that spans the galaxy. Full of adventure and dry humour, it's a fast moving espionage novel - in space!
The six Space Captain Smith novels, published by Myrmidon Books, are comedy space opera set in a space empire threatened by giant ants and enraged lemming-people. Think "Blackadder meets Flashman in space" and you've got the idea.
Straken is a Warhammer 40,000 novel published by Games Workshop's Black Library. Colonel Straken of the Imperial Guard campaigns against the vicious orks in a tale of black humour and grim adventure. Colonel Straken's adventures continue in several short stories.

Justin was born in the Bahamas, a luxurious beginning to life, of which he has almost no recollection. His first proper memories are of rainy Yorkshire, instead.
After stumbling across Dungeons and Dragons when he was ten years old, he bought his first White Dwarf #32 for an article about Rings of Power. He has grown up with the Warhammer hobby and as a long-time IG player, its a rare honour to add a little bit more of blood to the Grim Dark future.

Forgot how much I liked reading about non Astartes! If you enjoyed any of the Gaunt's Ghosts novels this will result in a good read as well...

Mixed bag of Imperial Guard novellas

Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2016

In the grim, dark universe of Warhammer 40,000 the Imperial Guard are the ground pounders, the expendable riflemen who go in and do the dirty work while the superhuman Space Marines get all the glory. This is a weird book, a collection of novellas by three authors. Three novellas focus on established IG characters (Commissar Yarrick, Iron Hand Straken and Lord Castellion Creed) while the third is on a new Cadian officer. So with no common writer or characters basically the only thing you can count on is that these will be about the Imperial Guard.

The stand out was definitely the opening stories about Yarrick. Yarrick was on the first 'special characters' established for Warhammer 40k and he was paired in eternal combat with the Ork warlord Ghazgul. These stories flesh out their eternal war with Yarrick definitely getting the worse of it. About halfway through it hit me, this is Ahab vs Moby Dick, with Yarrick as the crippled, bitter Ahab never able to get revenge on his foe.

The other stories vary from fair to mediocre. They scratch that itch of wanted to read 40k fiction but didn't really stick with me.
