Nice to see another 40K reader. Recently I realised there are new Inquisitor books so I binged Penitent. Felt like reuniting with old friends. On to The Magos now, I usually get my Black Library fix from bundles, but I might make an excepti

Highly unlikely to find a new one as EuroNCAP and company have started to dock stars for missing active safety features (AEB, lane assist,sleepiness detection, etc.) and low stars are a sales killer. Soon they may even be required by law.
