David Guymer is slowly building up a collection of Age of Sigmar short stories featuring Hamilcar Bear-Eater, Lord-Castellant of the Astral Templars, of which Gods’ Gift is the third. It’s a typically garrulous tale, told in Hamilcar’s brash, immodest first person voice as he and his men hunt unusual prey in the Realm of Ghur.
Guymer has hit upon a unique voice in Hamilcar. The bold first person perspective, the ridiculous, self-referential boasts…it’s almost too much, but look beyond the posturing and there’s enough depth to Hamilcar to just about ground it all. Plot-wise it feels like a definite precursor to a bigger story – fun in its own right, but setting us up for more to come.
