A lovely review of the writing I did on the Carcass Front for @trenchcrusade.bsky.social by @wargamer.com. This was an amazing project and it was wonderful to work with my old pals from the GW days (coincidentally, I worked on Codex: Necrons and Eye ofTerror too!). www.wargamer.com/trench-crusa...

Warhammer 40k hasn't made lore as good as Trench Crusade Carcass Front since 2002

The last time I read a Warhammer 40k rulebook with as much juice as Carcass Front, Bush was in office and The Sopranos was still on air.

"Given the ferocity of the fighting, the smaller depots were soon overwhelmed and a far larger structure was constructed in 1809 to house and process the dead: the Domus Demetrius, known colloquially as the “Body Barn". New Carcass Front Lore by yours truly! www.trenchcrusade.com/lore/domus-d...

Domus Demetrius - Trench Crusade

The Domus Demetrius is a sprawling complex of iron-framed structures filled with corpse-cranes, and row upon row of embalming silos.

"Nothing on earth is its equal; a creature without fear. It looks down on all that are haughty; it is king over all that are proud." Read the first of the Carcass Front locations I wrote, the strange and misbegotten horror that is the blasphemous and abhorrent Altar of Leviathan.

Many thanks for his honour! False Gods was a book I was thrilled I got to write, but which also terrified me, as I had to follow Dan Abnett. An intimidating proposition at the best of times, but when he was on fire with Horus Rising, even more so.

I'm a big fan of the Spartacus - Blood & Treachery board game, so got my games design hat on to make an expansion for Spartacus: House of Ashur by @stevendeknight.bsky.social with four new Houses and lots of new Gladiator cards. Up for a playtest sometime, @liamjamesmcintyre.bsky.social? #Spartacus

"Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor! Suddenly the king cried to Snowmane and the horse sprang away. Behind him his banner blew in the wind, white horse upon a field of green, but he outpaced it. After him thundered the knights of his house, but he was ever before them."

The Sniper Priest of Trench Crusade are deadly killers from afar, whose faith is so strong, they ritually blind themselves as part of their devotions in slaying the enemies of the Faithful.

Cracking game of Trench Crusade (Black Grail vs Sultanate) with Mark Gibbons. Some great moments with the Lord of Tumours against the Alchemist, Lion of Jabir and Yüzbaşı, where no one could quite land killing blows. Apologies for the anachronistic terrain and unpainted Sultanate... #trenchcrusade

Received my contributor's copy of Guards of Traitor's Toll from Grey For Now Games. A skirmish adventure game where you patrol the streets, chase down and arrest rogues, sorcerers, and assassins, it was designed and written by my old GW and role-playing mate, Graham Davey: greyfornow.com/en-us

Thanks, Pete. I always loved telling stories of the Shattered Legions, and it was a bittersweet moment to bring their tales to a close in Sons of the Selenar.
