These
little snippets of stories from the Warhammer 40K universe are
working out for me perfectly. Just enough to keep my appetite whetted
without actually filling me up. The perfect appetizer.
That’s what these are and I’m ok with that. Doesn’t make for great reviews but hey, not everything can make that cut, you know?

THE
STORY
Through a series of vignettes, we learn the history of the
Leman Russ tank Sebastian's Lance over hundreds of years of Imperial
warfare.
This was probably my favourite story in the collection, loved it.
ReplyDeleteHuh, that is interesting. Any idea why?
DeleteFor me, it was pretty middle of the road. I think for me it was because we just got so many snapshots of what was happening. It was ok for a short story but man, there was a lot packed in.
There were a lot of snapshots but the whole thing felt like a snapshot of the Imperium as a whole, all tied up in one tank. I liked that approach.
