 Great Resource!, September 29, 2008

It's a great resource for Dark Heresy players who do not play the 40k tabletop games. I recommend this book for players and GMs. ^_^

 Lot's Of Detail..., January 23, 2008

They book was very detailed, but enless you have read just about "EVERY" book written about WARHAMMER 40.000, you will be a bit lost. I wish it had more illistrations.

 Seriously mislabeled, January 7, 2008

This is an encyclopedia, primarily of Abnett's Inquisition stories (Eisenhorn, Ravenor etc), not a guide to the Inquisition. I was expecting something more along the lines of the Sabatt crusade art + text book that Abnett had done. This doesn't even really feature any original artwork. This is a pretty bad miss on the part of the Black Library. If they were going to do an encyclopedia, at least they could have done a bit more to let you know what the sources of some the characters etc were. There is little here to help you fluff out your background for 40k armies, help you write your own 40k fan story, etc. I'm not sure what purpose this fills in my 40k library. Give this one a miss if your Black Library budget is limited.

Good book with one catch, December 24, 2007

I cam to the Warhammer 40K universe through Dan Abnett's Ravenor and Eisenhorn trilogies, both of which feature Inquisitors. I've happily read other Warhammer novels. There seems to be something about the distopian universe Warhammer is in that inspires writers.
I found the guide to be a lot of fun. The only problem is that more than half of the material comes from Abnett's novel. If you've read them, you already know half the entries in the guide. I had hoped for more new material.
If you like Warhammer and haven't read Abnett's stuff, this will be rewarding. Then go read the books.

If you're a hard core fan of the Inquisition this is the book for you. If you're less of a fan of the Inquisition and simple enjoy a well written and produced product, you'll enjoy this as well.
