Warlord: Fury of the God Machine - Signed Limited Edition Hardcover Novel [Only 1250 Copies Worldwide] (Warhammer 40,000 40K 30K Games Workshop) Hardcover – January 1, 2017

What i really liked about the book is both the story on the titans and their crew. I also really liked how they explanoed their tactis and organizational structure. I also liked the read avout their diffrences in culture and how it affects the imperiums forces.

It was just eh. It's a story. A 40k story with battles between Titans. Felt like Annandale really struggled with this one. Wasn't that interesting and yeah, all I can say is that it was eh. Most of it feels like it was written simply to get it written. Just an eh story. Best to skip this one. I usually love his work. But this one had no heart in it.

Love the book. Another glimpse at the Titan Legions of Mars.

Titan warfare at its best, interlaced with characters that support the titan legions- astra militarium, Titan Secutarii, imperial citizens... if Titanicus gave you a first glimpse of Titan warfare then this will give you a continued view of how these gods of 40k battlefield play thier role.

All action from first page to last, but lacks any development making me care about the characters. The Actions lacks any metric making me understand why Princeps make the decisions rhey do in the action. Really needs about another 50pp to add depth to the characters and context to the engagements.

Another Annandale schlock fest. The trick with writing good stories about 100 foot tall robots is to somehow make such a fantastical thing seem very gritty and real. Annandale always takes the opposite approach -- to grossly inflate the outlandishness until your ability to suspend disbelief is well and truly vanquished. Titan weapons do not transform the entire landscape into lava so that the titans are left surfing around on rock burgs like freaking Legolas. So dumb, and so typical of Annandale's terrible, gritless, schlocky writing style. Don't read if you are into titans, you'll be hard pressed to look past the stupid.

I will keep this review short, partly because there is not very much to say, and partly because I dislike writing “negative” reviews. I was a bit disappointed with this book, something that is reflected in this review’s title.Part of my disappointment is perhaps unfair. I had high – and probably too high – expectations for this book of Titan war machines and was (irrationally?) hoping that this book might be as good as Dan Abnett’s Titanicus or Graham McNeill’s Mechanicum. It isn’t, despite a rather good beginning.The story is one of rivalry between two half-legions of Titans and their commanders which, after a hard campaign, are withdrawn and redeployed on a forge world which has been invaded by Chaos, and by the forces of a Chaos Legion in particular.The plot is a rather simple one. It could have been an effective one but – and here is my problem – it gets subsumed and takes a backseat and fades away as you progress through the book. Instead, you are left with an orgy of sound, fury, explosions all over the place and cataclysmic destructions until almost everyone and everything gets wiped out. Three stars.

Awesome book. I was incredibly impressed with the book and how it was written and the story line. If you're a fan of the Titan Legions and their affiliates in the 40k universe, this is a very good book.

Richtig gut. Aus meiner Sicht eines der besten Warhammer Bücher des letzten Jahres. Interessante Charaktere, die Antagonisten bleiben allerdings etwas lieb- und farblos . Ansonsten grandioses Gemetzel welches nur leicht übertrieben wirkt.

A good book for titan combat. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Multiple levels of viewing it. The Imperium would suck to live in
