A Genestealer Cults novel by Adrian Tchaikovsky. 



A labourers’ uprising on a forge world conceals an alien menace. A tech-priest infiltrates a strange, but popular, congregation and discovers more than they bargained for!

This is my first full-length work for the Warhammer universe (following my short story Raised in Darkness), focusing around the misguided idealism of a Genestealer cult challenging the harsh mechanical might of the Adeptus Mechanicus for the future of their world.

This anthology of short stories opens with a novella-length tale by Adrian which finds Fusil-Major Rosforth consigned to an unlikely friendship after a career-ending injury. 


The hard-nosed Dawnbringer must now be carried into battle by Slobda, a vicious man-eating ogor drafted into Sigmar’s service, and their problems only mount when the Skaven spill forth into Ghyran in their millions. Rosforth and Slobda find themselves responsible for a desperate band of survivors fleeing the teeming hordes of plague-ridden ratmen, and they’ll put their partnership to the test getting everyone to safety.

On the Shoulders of Giants and Other Stories also includes other tales from the Mortal Realms penned by Noah Van Nguyen, Liane Merciel, and more.


For those new to Warhammer, this should be entirely approachable as a fantasy story, and a good introduction to the setting.

A Tyranids Short Story

The tyranids devour everything before them – consuming all life upon each world in their path. They are a threat to every sentient species in the galaxy, and their numbers are ever growing…

To face a tyranid invasion is a waking nightmare. The skies darken with spores, your mind echoes with alien screeches, and countless weapon-organisms descend upon you with razor teeth and claws.


How much greater would your horror be, to realise that the hive ship above thinks nothing of your fate – that it crushes your resistance and devours your home on instinctual stimulus-response alone, seeking nothing more than the calories your world will yield? Witness a planet consumed, through the eyes of those who defend it – and through the blind, hungry gaze of its conquerors.
