Word Bearers: The Omnibus (Warhammer 40,000)

Deep dive into the twisted lives of the Bearers of the Word. Loved it.

Such an excellent book. Word Bearera centric but features a great deal of depth on other factions — someone into mechanicum, imperial guard or necron lore will probably get as much out of it as I did!Couldn't put it down, highly recommend

I am a self confessed imperial guard man. I feel you can understand the regular ground pounders much more than advanced bio genetic soilders or some such advanced and heavily armoured beast. I like to dabble in other areas of the 40k universe now and again and recently i went back to the quite frankly at times awful horus heresy. There i read a monster of a book called the first heretic by aaron dembski-bowden. This was what i wanted and answers some really prudent questions like why a legion would turn their back on their brothers. If you have read first heretic you will be in for a treat here as this compilation of books inside this omnibus shows how far the word bearers have come (or fallen depending on your views) since the heresy. Ok i loved this book and even if you havent read heretic you will love it too. Book one entitled dark apostle lays the ground work for the new main character marduk. He believes he is destined for great things and maneuvers himself accordingly. As this is book one it was hard to warm to the new perspective and i was infact hoping the imperial guard characters would prevail as chaos takes a planet for some evil purpose in mind. The action is relentless and bloodthirsty as the book kind of asks you to take sides with your favorite character. All are conniving and conspiring against one another as is the chaos way of going up the ranks as well as being able to torch entire planets and blow heads off with bolter fire. At the end of the book i was warming to marduk and wanted more. The second book dark discipline is the gem of the book as it is a far tighter read. After the mass planet action of book 1 here we have a word bearer hit squad comprised of marduk and the main characters who after learning about an artifact which could potentially turn the tide for all forces of chaos drop planet side to get more info. Again the action is pure bolter porn and it is so glorious as it truly never stops.At the end of book two you start to think that maybe chaos can win....forever.Book 3 ends the mayhem (briefly i hope) as using the tech and info at hand the word bearers lay siege in force to a heavily protected and warp vital system.A fitting end for now. The short story at the end gives some indepth views on how one of the main chaos characters has fallen from grace and although i guessed the ending very quickly its wonderfully done.Buy this book...its got more action per page than most of my 40 k collection. Spread the word.

Death to the False Emperor.Awesome book. Gives more of an insight into the Word Bearers Legion.

Great service, book arrived in time and looks like it’s brand new out from the printshop, can’t fault these guys , I’m definitely goi g to use again , well recommended, and if I could give more stars I would!

The best legion and they have still got the best series if you want to experience how the forces of chaos operate.

As the title suggests this is an omnibus made up of `dark apostle, dark disciple, dark creed' and finished off with a new piece titled `torment,' all following the exploits of `First Acolyte Marduk and the 34th Host' Each novel by itself is superb, non stop marauding and murder but sadly (and I can't believe I'm writing this) put together is all just a bit too much to get on with, Marduk is great, the 34th Host are brutal and pretty much every page is spilling blood without mercy, that's the lot in a nutshell. Great fun over short bursts but 766 pages without anything much else backing it up is hard going. When I first opened the cover and started I had good fun but made the mistake of going right through without any breaks from it. Too much killer without the much needed filler. I did then go back and read it as 3 novels and one novella while reading something else between each one and it all separately became a brilliant read. As far as value for money goes this is top notch, as far as a load of separate novels go, perfect, all together in one go, hard work.

A good read

A letra é MUITO pequena. MUITO.Extremamente desagradável para ler. Chega a dar dor de cabeça.O papel é de jornal.O formato é muito pequeno.É uma edição de bolso bem mixuruca.Não recomendo. Se fosse possível eu teria dado zero estrelas

This is a great series to read.

Libro meraviglioso.

Para ser mi primera adquisición del universo Warhammer 40k es todo lo que quisiera :)Son 766 páginas repletas de glorioso y visceral combate, totalmente en inglés, del universo Warhammer.Como producto, el precio ayudó mucho; sin embargo esto también significó que la edición adquirida fuera la más sencilla con cubierta blanca.Llegó a tiempo junto con otros productos y en perfectas condiciones.

Amazingly written. Good plot, gets super intense and has different 40k races logically appear throught the story.
