Book Description: An in-depth background book detailing the 'Storm of Chaos' Warhammer summer campaign in which over 500,000 gamers are expected to participate.
Amazing Book Great Artwork, and Perfectly coordinated with the Fluff, recommended for any fantasy or warhammer fan.
The new standard Darkness Rising: A complete history of the Storm of Chaos is the second art/background book produced by Games Workshop for its dark, gritty, and detailed Warhammer Fantasy setting and the new standard by which they will be measured. Darkness Rising covers the Storm of Chaos, the most horrific continent wide war that shook the nations and peoples of the Old World and beyond to their very core.
This is a beautiful book. Don't let the simple description of "paperback" fool you, this is a large book rather than a simple market novel one might obtain at the bookstore. The binding of this book is top notch and is composed of reinforced paper. The interior pages are a high quality gloss and beautifully designed. The artwork was created by a vast cast of spectacular artists who capture the mood of the Warhammer Fantasy setting and the trying times of the Storm of Chaos perfectly. Their images are at times subtle, playing second fiddle to the prominence of the text and at other points beautifully dynamic and spread across both pages in massive works that draw the eye to the minutest of details.
Darkness Rising: A complete history of the Storm of Chaos is written from the perspective of Frederich "Old" Weirde of Altdorf the capital city of the Empire. Old Fred is a self described noted scholar, professor of esoteric studies, historian, antiquarian, fellow of the Altdorf Men's Historical Society and connoisseur of the finest Estalian Port. It is from his eyes that we bear witness to some of the most dramatic events of the Storm of Chaos and thanks to the correspondence he receives from his son who is out in the fields we are given a profound impression of not just the events of this dark time but their effects on the populace and the nation as a whole.
A beautiful book for both collectors and enthusiasts alike, Darkness Rising will add detail to the imagination of any fan of the Warhammer Fantasy miniatures game, readers of the novels, or players of the recently released Warhammer Fantasy RPG. Particularly, the images contained within will allow people unfamiliar with the setting to, in a glance, be seduced by the dark grandeur of this immersive world. You will not be disappointed.
