Great characters

One of the best black library books ever. It depicts the slaves of darkness so brilliantly. Other than that it’s just an all out awesome barbarian novel, as great as any Conan novel.

Path to glory

Seek the portents, bohold the feast and it it all or none of it!

This can be applied in any life that seeks glory

Dark, compelling and awesome.

This is my second AoS book. I absolutely love the Darkoath faction. From their Viking-esque (not in an overdone way) culture to their strained relationship with both chaos god and the "civilized" world. Gunnar is an interesting protagonist. The way he rides the fine line of control and chaos, trying to keep his people alive and appeasing the gods.

You love the bad guys!

In the lore of Warhammer there are no “good guys” however, chaos and their many warbands might be the furthest from “good guys”. Regardless this book makes you truly love and appreciate the chaos god worshipping, pillaging, slaughtering and crazed barbarians that are the Brands. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the lore and stories as this tells a great story from a different perspective. Now excuse me while I buy an army’s worth of Darkoath models.
