For us, we’ll probably be using the Amidst the Ashes Crusade Mission Pack (reviewed further below!) It is worth noting that the campaign is designed so that you can use it with any Mission Pack, so if Matched Play is more your cup of tea then you can of course play your games using that. We’re huge fans of Crusade here at Sprues & Brews, and this really takes things to the next level by having an overarching campaign being able to be played as an additional level of detail and interaction over the standard Crusade rules. Campaign Rulesīuilding on from the Obolis Invasion campaign rules in the first volume, The Book of Fire contains rules for putting together a full narrative campaign to re-enact the events of the entire conflict by gathering together anything from 2 to dozens of players led by a Campaign Master who runs the campaign and makes sure everything goes smoothly. In addition to the main narrative we also get a number of boxouts digging into further lore on some of the main characters in the conflict such as Morvenn Vahl and Be’lakor, adding a nice way of introducing these to people who are not yet familiar with them. I’d have perhaps liked to have seen the book written more in a “in universe” narrative style akin to the Imperial Armour books with the volume acting as more of a “historical” document of information on the conflict, but fingers crossed we get something of this sort in the future. Presentation is great as you would expect, with some brilliant artwork along with maps of sectors and battlefields giving you insign into the flow of the conflict. While The Book of Fire never reaches the highs of the Broken Realms series for Age of Sigmar we do see some lore development here – for those who want to read it themselves I’ll cover this at the very end of the post, but there are a couple of interesting things that happen that do push forward the story forward and leave things open to be picked up in future supplements and Codexes!

The Book of Fire continues where The Book of Rust ended with the Charadon system torn open with a Warp Rift known as “The Sore” and Typhus readying his assault on the Forge World itself.
