Btw in case people are thinking it, they've went to quite some effort to stress that this is a continuation of the story. For example the Stormsurge is said to have sprang up due to heavy counter assault elements in what has become a protracted war. Which makes sense considering how the Knights so badly beat the tau in the last Damocles book. So no I don't think it's a rehash or elaboration of the events at Agrellen or Voltoris.

But anyway, way they left things off with Shadowsun beaten and according to the guard codex a big counter assault force I really hope they actually make the tau the protagonists this time. Hear me out, the way the last two campaigns have went has been a little bit samey. Imperium loses then space marines swoop in and save day. Plus it's more or less what happened in the last Damocles book. Be a bit mean for Shadowsun to almost her killed and then lose again.

I think they've mentioned that the new campaign is set on a world called Perfectia and we know the Raven Guard are involved. What I think is happening is that the Tau have lured the Imperiums counter assault armies into an un winnable war, a salient into which they ll be whittled down and then beaten. Personally I think they would have picked the White Scars if we had Imperial protagonists. The raven guard in Damocles are kind of portrayed as Contra death squads rather than heroes. So I think Shadowsun is going to bounce back after Voltoris and that ultimately the Imperium will lose badly.

Also: you know what both campaign books are going to be called.


1. Patient Hunter

2. Killing Blow


Or, I don't know. Khorne demon kin show up and they have to unite. :(]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/666636/8181917.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/666636/8181917.page GMT
