Review

This anthology is a good way of acquainting yourself with the writing style of some of the more prolific authors (Gav Thorpe and Robert Earl feature heavily) as well as lesser known writers at BlackLibrary (Rjurik Davidson, Ben Chessell).

"Tales of the Old World" is a diverse and quick introduction to the Warhammer World: it's lands, peoples and various trepidations. The diverse narratives tell of Bretonnia, the Empire, Lustria (thus not just of the Old World), give accounts of marauders, Grail knights and the temptations of Chaos, among others.
