Ok. I bought this thinking it would be like a D&D Monsters Manual - lots of interesting creatures to mix in to gaming sessions with information and stats. Its not that. 2/3rds of the book is what could be termed "stereotypes." You get a section on Peasents talking about the creature, then scholars talking about the creature, then how the creature talking about themselves and about everything else, generally the humies.

Yes, what any GM or player worth their salt would realise anyway.

The last third actually has what you probably bought the book for - Statistica and basic information. But it only covers the pretty standard Warhammer Creatures that fill every other book.

So, I was pretty disapointed in this book. The overall messege is... the Warhammer world might be a fun place to adventure in, but its not a very fantastical realm at all. There really is not that much Variety out there. Chaos of various types, Goblinoids of various types, Vampires, Etc etc

Hell, the Thousand Thrones Campaign has more of a beastiery than this book, as it at least has a bit on encounters in a Swamp.

So ya, if you are interested in verious perspectives on the same old Warhammer races, then you will enjoy this as it is well written. But if you want to get interesting animal or other encounters for your players, this isn't it. It's a shame, but I have to tell you what I think. 3/5
