Introduction
S
So, what’s this book about? I paged through it. Misera ble boo
k, it is; badly written, fraug ht with
inconsistencies and lies. No good for anyone. But, since I have not
hing to do until this “writer” dies, I might
as well tell you something about what half-truths and ramblings
one might find.
book about Chaos, as you could probably tell already. Why would anyone want to read
It seems this is a
can simply live it, I’ll never understand. Such foolishness. I suppose it’s to be
about Chaos when one
expected from people who actually believe Sigmar is a God.
tupid fool! Fat, stinking, bastard. Thinks he knows something of Chaos? Why I bet he believes
he’s some sort of expert. Well the truth struck him as I sunk my knife in his belly. He whimpered and
cried, and I laughed. He moans even now. There. On the floor in a spreading pool of his blood. His sadness
makes me chuckle.
The book has four parts. Of course, mortals like neat categories. They like to define things; put their
house in order, so to speak.
Part I: The Enemy Within
This section clearly reveals this writer’s ignorance.
He meanders from one subject to the next, all
in some failed attempt to nail down how Chaos has
infiltrated the Empire. What silliness! I
should stab him once more for good measure. He goes
on and on about how people get mutations; but,
I’ll tell you from experience, you get mutations bec
ause it’s the way of things, not because you sat in
a
field where some Daemon de fecated. Oh, and then
he talks about mutations. The lists! It goes on
and
on but doesn’t even scratch the surface of Tchar’s
touch. I must say his comments on the Cults ar
e
na...ve, but charming. I love how he dances around wha
t the Slaanesh Cults really do behind closed doors
.
Ah, and look at all those relics! I think I’ll cut
off one of his fingers to take his mind off things.
