Just read Yarrick: Imperial Creed and it's a really solid book. Pretty insightful book into the early career of Yarrick and the way it was told was pretty engaging

Prince of Crows was a story in the Shadows of Treachery novel, the new cover for it looks awesome though. Oh also Nick Kyme just mentioned on his blog that he's writing a sequel to Vulkan Lives. or at least planning it out. I don't know whether to be happy or afraid right now.

No-one is safe. The only option is exterminatus. Or hopefully it's a actually decent story- unless it ends up being a direct sequel to UE... In which case prepare for emo kurze and all sorts of blandly described escapades! Anyways, just started Vengeful Spirit and Loken is in it? When did this happen? Feel like I've missed a story somewhere.

Vulkan during Unremembered Empire spoilers or something? I'm pretty sure I'm thinking of Unremembered Empire, why was Vulkan so insane during the parts he appeared? I picked up the book in-store and started reading at some random point and it was basically Vulkan being crazy.

In Unremembered Empire didn't Vulkan get permakilled by grammaticus with the fulgurite spear? Also didn't one of the Eldar basically tell Grammaticus "This might cure his insanity, if you use the one thing that kills a perpetual on him"

John instead realized he could use it to cure Vulkan, but at the cost of his own immortality. John killed himself to try and save Vulkan. But the act is what put Vulkan into a coma.

Well, I hate to break it to you, but the fluff has Vulkan leading the Salamanders until well after the Heresy before eventually vanishing into the Eye of Terror the way Russ and Corax do. So he's going to come back, John did heal him, but not in time to intervene on Terra, because historically the Salamanders weren't there.

Kyme's afterward mentions the possibility of a regular marine donning vulkan's equipment and fulfilling the role prior fluff put on Vulkan. They can do what ever, same as Fulgrim's fall/fate has bounced around, but as of now Vulkan is D.E.D. Dead

If he's dead, the Salamanders are going to be awfully disappointed when He'stan finally gets the final relic, The Unbound Flame, and opens it up.

So we know Russ just stopped in the middle of a speech and said basically "I have to go, my planet needs me" and rushed off into the Eye of Terror. Why did Corax and Vulkan decide it was better to personally go there than to lead their armies?

Corax basically went into a doom spiral after the Alpha Legion sabotaged the whatever-the-uber-marines-were-called and having to personally execute those that were left after fending off the Alpha Legion. After a bit (this is all from memory so I've probably missed a few details) he ripped off the famous Tennyson quote "nevermore" and flew off into the Eye of Terror without so much as a by-your-leave.

I'm not sure people remember that baroque means to be excessively decorated. It could be a chapter master, champion, or even a Custodes. My bet's on either Azkaellon or Raldoron, though.

bunnyofdoom posted:Tennyson? ...whoops. In all fairness, they're both from the same era! (And no, never did). More on topic, I actually found the Corax and the Raven Guard fairly well portrayed in the HH books so far (I've only gotten to The Primarchs at this point). I certainly thought it was done a bit better than poor old Ferrus Manus in Fulgrim/Feat of Iron.

My bet's on either Azkaellon or Raldoron, though. Well, there is a story in Xenos Hunters where Trazyn captures a Blood Angel acting in a Deathwatch capacity, so that could be the SM in baroque armor. Or he could have a stash of a few dozen Marines. Not sure where you're getting Azkaellon or Raldoron from, though. Azkaellon is a chapter relic who never decomposes and Raldoron was a chapter master after Sanguinius died.

Let's be honest, Trazyn probably has a bunch of Space Marines in his vaults, probably posed fighting some CSM or other enemies. If they're lucky, they're in stasis or it's just bones within posed power armor. If they're unlucky, they're just dosed with massive amounts of paralytics.

Conspiracy option: that's not actually Azkaellon's body. Also, I didn't realize there were official records of their deaths, my bad. I figured the Blood Angels were the most "artistic" of the Astartes, although the Emperor's Children could fit the bill as well...

Speaking of Vulkan and his armor, apparently he is the next Primarch to be out  Pictures from the May 18th Forgeworld Weekender Its funny, I figured Corax would be next since they made a whole minigame about him. Maybe because they did that they are putting extra attention on his model and it isn't ready yet?
