Why This Book Matters

This extract records how Warhammer settings are translated into video game imagery. Its focus on sketches, alternate designs, characters, and environments makes the creative development process visible.

It also presents a perspective on the everyday human scale of Warhammer 40,000. Rather than focusing only on Space Marines, the Darktide section considers ordinary subjects of the Imperium, expendable soldiers, and the gradual spread of corruption.
