Reception
Dave Langford reviewed Angel with the Sword for White Dwarf #91, and stated that "it zips smartly along to an inconclusive ending on p. 250: the last fifty pages are superfluous appendices, maps, etc., indicating not merely a sequel but considerable cheek".{{cite magazine | last =Langford | first =Dave | author-link =David Langford | title =Critical Mass | magazine =White Dwarf | issue =91 | pages =11 | publisher =Games Workshop | date = July 1987 | issn =0265-8712}}
