This is my first foray into the Warhammer universe, in the 90s I used to gawp at the kids in the local games workshop painting figs and playing, I was too broke to do either. I am enthralled by the lore of this world and the mechanicus have drawn me in with their unique way of interacting with each other which is very direct and robot like but with a human tinge of emotion sprinkled in just enough quantity to make them endearing.

I am really enjoying the turn-based combat and the cognition system allows for more actions in a turn than most games within the genre. It, along with the equipment/skill system allows a greater variety of choices which will be good for replayability in a game which is mostly linear story-wise. The only thing that i feel is a misstep are the exploring encounters, i feel a more entertaining system could have been chosen. I end up save-scumming my way through these. I shouldn't feel like i have to.

All in all, a fantastic game for someone new to WH and I commend the devs for making the first truly well done WH video game.

p.s. if anyone could suggest to me a good WH novel for a beginner to get further into the universe I would greatly appreciate it!
