A competent character introduction with well written action.

Best of the Advent shorts I have read thus far, though that is biased as I am a huge Andy Smillie and Blood Angels(and Flesh Tearers) fan.
I have read bits and pieces about Astorath the Grim, and getting to see the world from his eyes was awesome. I would very much so like to see him get a full length novella or something, as he is an awesome character.
