Some were ascending, annihilating everything in their path, others were gripped in civil wars, while a few were fighting a desperateВ battle for survival. Every codex from the Fifth Edition onward repeatedly emphasisedВ this point, over and over again by adding in more and more gigantic Armageddon grade events for each faction. Warhammer itself has always been made based upon the idea that it was just a few years away from annihilation. While that might sound like a obvious statement, please seriously stop to consider what this means for a moment. The very fact we're advancing the story is a massive change unto itself, both thematically and in terms of future books. Plus, we'll also be looking into a few of the mistakes which were made in my opinion because there are some structural flaws here which simply cannot go unremarked upon. Specifically how they might reflect upon how future events will be handled and how the thematic approaches of future tales will differ from past works. So, having read through this, the question is so what happens now?Д«ecause of how prominent this question is, and just how far reaching the possibilities are, this part will be both referring back to events in the book, but considering what they might imply.

As the name also implied, this seems to have also been an opportunity to have Warhammer 40,000 spring-board its way into larger events, and a much bigger ongoing narrative. Obviously this was a massive game-changer, and it has reinvented a number of major parts of the setting on the whole. With it we have witnessed a number of sweeping changes to three of the setting's major factions, and the re-introduction of a number of major elements within the narrative. With the ending of this book, the Gathering Storm trilogy has come and gone.
