If you know someone who is interested in fantasy tales or are interested in fantasy tales yourself, here’s something that might be of interest for you. Warhammer Fantasy, as you think the franchise name might imply, is the fantasy branch of Warhammer franchise. This post also covers the Time of Legends and Horus Heresy bundles.

As with the previous gift guide on Warhammer 40,000 eBundles, there might be some steep looking costs. If, however, you’re into these kinds of stories, these bundles are pretty fair considering how much you get in each.

With the holiday season drawing near, you’re probably wondering what to get for your gamer friend, sibling, loved one or self. This time around, Black Library, the fiction publishing department of Games Workshop, is giving you a lot of options for the tech-inclined science fiction fan and gamer in your life.

It was bound to happen that the Horus Heresy series would have a book that almost exclusively focused on the behind-the-scenes aspect of war. Nemesis is that book.

The question is whether or not it actually lives up to the work that the majority of the series had laid out. To put it simply, it does but it could be so much better.

Author Graham McNeill has just done something pretty special for Games Workshop and the Black Library

On March 15, 2010, the Black Library blog reported that A Thousand Sons, by McNeill, hit number 22 on the New York Times Bestsellers list.

This is the first Black Library – as well as a Horus Heresy - novel to make it on the list.

Title: The Horus Heresy: Galaxy in FlamesAuthor: Ben CounterPublisher: The Black LibraryRelease Date: 2006Price: $7.99Rating: Two thumbs up, 90/100, B+, **** out of five.Pros: Quick pace, gives more explanation to different events, develops all major characters wonderfully, fixes most of the problems that popped up with False GodsCons: The pace is occasionally too quick for the level of detail that it has, still has some of the same problem that False Gods had.Overall: It’s well worth the money, even with the pacing and detail flaws.

Horus Rising and False Gods opened up the story of the Horus Heresy. It followed the formerly honorable Space Marines legion known as the Luna Wolves. Galaxy in Flames follows the quickly fracturing Luna Wolves as some remain true to the Emperor and some remain true to Warmaster Horus.

This is one of the hardest books in the Horus Heresy to read because it’s the most heartbreaking…

Title: The Horus Heresy: False GodsAuthor: Graham McNeillPublisher: The Black LibraryRelease Date: 2006Price: $7.99Rating: One thumb up and one down, 79/100, C+, ** 1/2 out of five.Pros: Incredible writing, great story, memorable characters are built up more, hard-hitting descriptionCons: Same problem most sequels have. Too much attention to smaller details and it occasionally blocks out the story. Also inconsistently deals with characters.Overall: It’s full of flaws but for a sequel it’s worth the money.

With False Gods, Graham McNeil has written a great second installment to the Horus Heresy series that tries too hard to outshine Dan Abnett’s Horus Rising.
