Thumbs up Death World

A good read for any Imperial Guard fan. The book gives you a feel for how tough Catachan jungle fighters are, as well as how tough Death Worlds can be. This is the second book of the single shot IG novels I've read and so far they've been great. Next one I'm reading is Desert Raiders.

definetly read it! just be prepared for a different kind of enemy,in this case its the planet itself that poses the biggest threat to the catachans. It was a good book but i want to read about catachans in battles that are more like the game.

They attack an orc settlement, I think that qualifies as fighting orcs
