This has one of my favourite stories in it and one that made me fell in love with the grim dark of the far future.
The last church is sublime story telling that is just such a nice calm but foreboding story. A brilliant change of base from the constant galactic battles and a more grounded view, not unlike another short story.
Not to take away from the other short stories contained, which are also cool and fun one shots and fill ins for gaps around the vast universe, but some are definitely stronger then others.

Great, varied assortment of short stories. Especially love the one about a given faction finding it's Primarch.

This was the first warhammer book I ever read:)
To me "Wolf at the Door, Blood Games, The Voice" get about 4 stars.
They where exciting and a fun read.
"The Dash'ea and The Sicon of the Storm" (hope I got the names right)Where both a fair read at about 3 stars, The Dash'ea was more interesting then exciting. The Sicon of the Storm was interesting but it reminds me how I trurly hate the Emporer and that he needs to die!
"The Last Church" 5 stars. An amazing story that had me on the edge of my seat the whole book! From the begening to the end it had me going and is possible one of my favorite storys of all time.
