You are an Acolyte in the service of the Emperors' Inquisition. You stand in the front line of a great and secret war where your duty is to hunt out the foul stench of heresy, the vile alien, and the twisted influence of Chaos. You will tread where others fear, venturing to distant planets, ancient space hulks, and the unsavory depths of the under-hive. You will never know fame nor reward, yet if you stand resolute your deeds will be whispered to the God-Emperor of Mankind and your name will be revered for millennia! The Dark Heresy core rulebook contains everything you need to start your roleplaying adventure in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
REVIEW
Could have been allot better! Well me and my group waited for years to finally see this game come out for 40K, we waited and behold, 80% of the group was way disappointed with the version the way it is....Most want to play in the universe of 40K but not as Imperial lackeys for the Inquisition, they wanted a mission based war game, like Behind Enemy Lines for WW2 like the old FASA game, but with the ability to create and play as Space Marines, Eldar or Tau or even Chaos Marines, so after playing 1 game, they didnt want to touch it again, being so upset at the lack of possabilities with the system and wishing for a more flexable class system (something more in line with WHFRP), they have abandoned this game for now, hopefully they do something with an expansion to address the lack of universal playablity for the players.
