For long-time Black Library fans, Gloomspite should be a welcome shot of something a bit different - all be it a shot that will almost certainly transform your writhing body into some foul and distorted creature of the night.

We have all the classic Black Library ingredients, sure: lots of deaths, gore, battles, heroism and nasty gribblies: but Gloomspite mixes things up by not giving us a look at the baddies for a good two-thirds of the book. Instead, in true horror style, our luckless adventurers -trapped in a city surrounded by swampy, unnatural mists cloaking unspecified horrors - are picked off, one by one in various toe-curlingly awful ways. Things get grimmer and grimmer until only when the night is at its darkest, the true horror below emerges.

Honestly, this book was great. Plenty of creepy horror in here, but I also got really invested in the main cast of characters as well.

One of the best Age of Sigmar books out there and up in the top Black Library books for me. Definitely one I'd recommend.
