Mostly great art, great short stories, just a cool book if you're interested in the 40k universe. I strongly recommend it.

Long shipping time but very affordable,

This review is from: The Horus Heresy: Collected Visions: Iconic images of the Imperium, betrayal and war (Hardcover)
It took a long time to get to my house but for the reduced price and free shipping it was well worth it. The book is as was described in the description, brand new, no damage, arrived in a padded envelope. Nothing else to really say, everything was as described, but like I said the long shipping time is the only thing that might turn some people off, but because it was free I saw no problem with it.

Beautiful omnibus book, beautifully bound at a great price!,
By Valnastar "Man With No Name" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Horus Heresy: Collected Visions: Iconic images of the Imperium, betrayal and war (Hardcover)
This omnibus of the four previously published Warhammer 40,000 Horus Heresy artwork books is just beautiful and at a list price of $50, compared to buying four separate books at $30 each, is an absolute steal. Even better, Amazon.com at the time of this writing is selling this book at a significant discount, making it even harder to pass up.The hard binding and cover of the book are of good quality and the quality and amount of the color pages filled with fantastic artwork will satisfy any fan of Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 (often called 40K). The text of the book concerns the story of how Games Workshop's world of 40K came to be through the ancient events of the Horus Heresy. Fans of Space Marines and Chaos Marines alike will love the terrific full color artwork and those interested in GW's background mythology for 40K should find plenty to love here as well. Personally, even though I am a fanatic collector, converter and painter of GW's miniatures for the 40K tabletop game, I am very selective about buying their non-game related background books; I buy only a very select few such books. However, after one first-hand look at a copy of Horus Heresy Collected Visions I couldn't resist owning my own copy of this high quality volume. Every page is filled with images of mighty heroes and foul monstrous villains to delight the eye of the reader. Any 40K or science fantasy fan would enjoy this book, which contains a small bit of additional material not found in the original four art books it contains. It is tremendous fun leafing through the pages as the artwork and text magically transport you to the fantastic war-torn world of Warhammer 40,000. Highly recommended! 13 of 13 people found the following review helpful

I have never purchased such a marvellous production for just $30,
By Armagan Tuzcuoglu - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Horus Heresy: Collected Visions: Iconic images of the Imperium, betrayal and war (Hardcover)
High quality pages. Hundreds of great pictures most of which can as well be posters if they were bigger. Exciting passages. Two wonderful short stories by Graham McNeill. While reading the book you turn a page, read the text, look at the pictures, turn the next page, look at some more pictures, sometimes read small passages that are scattered throughout the page. Every text is a whole, It gives you the information, the atmosphere and never continues to next page. The text of the next page may summarize the previous ones, may continue telling the events in a chronological fashion, may give detailed information about something mentioned in previous texts or describe something new. This book is a collection of pictures and texts related to the Horus Heresy. It is consistent enough. But the flow of the texts may not be as swift as something written as a whole from beginning to the end. Nontheless there is not a single text that is not exciting. The Amazons's price for the book is incredible. Even with the intercontinental shippin fee added, the total price is less than the original. Maybe for $50 you may hesitate to buy the book but for $30 hesitation is the time you lose before you hold this incredible work. You may not have the time or energy or money to read a long novel or rulebook, to play a tabletop or computer game, to buy or paint miniatures. However this book will satisfy your need for the atmosphere and excitement of WH40K without the effort time and money needed by the other means of experiencing ýt. It is why i take the book everywhere i go despite its weight. Yeah, i think the only bad thing i can say about this massive work is its resulted weight. A weight that befits its quality.

Great Visual Guide to the Heresy,
By Wesley Phillips - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Horus Heresy: Collected Visions: Iconic images of the Imperium, betrayal and war (Hardcover)
I've been eagerly awaiting this ever since I saw the first volumes of the art series. Now that they're all together it makes a great buy. The pages are all wonderfully printed and it's surprisingly cheap for the quality and the size.The art quality can be a bit random as they've hired quite a few artists for the series. Some are fantastic while some look a bit like poor fan art. Overall though the art quality is pretty good. This is a definite recommendation for any Warhammer 40k fans, and especially anyone reading through the horus heresy novels. And even if you're not a Warhammer fan this still serves up some great gothic/sci-fi art. |
