Zephyrine posted:So with all these detailed void wars in the books I'm surprised that they haven't been added to the board games yet. Like a parallel map where each sides ships can fight each other for positions to offer various support roles to the ground armies like orbital bombardments. Also in case it wasn't mentioned already, Battlefleet Gothic, which actually had decent rules

Yeah, it opened up in late November. It was a total surprise to me too. Most people show up around 3-6. I only do the tabletop game, but I think they have an RPG night too.

I just linked this thread to the new Total war: warhammer thread in games so you fellows might be getting an influx of new posters with lots of fluff style questions. It's hilarious how many goons get a minor taste of GW madness of like lizards riding bigger lizards and go "Day one buy". Wait until they hear about all the other insanity that awaits them.  And GWs disgusting mismanagement of their own IP.

So the Heresy and Pre-heresy era is the 40K equivalent of the old republic I take it? Back when the interesting people were still alive.

Almost all the interesting people are still around in 40k, which is one of the problems with the Heresy era. There have been very few notable characters in the books whose fates in the 40k era aren't already known. They're just less interesting in 40k or dead.

They're all technically off the board but they're not dead. A handful of the traitors went on to become Daemon Primarchs (obviously not Horus). The loyalist Primarchs all either died off or rode off into the sunset promising to come back when the time was right, although some of them aren't technically dead but are just close to it in stasis pods.

Zephyrine posted:So the Heresy and Pre-heresy era is the 40K equivalent of the old republic I take it? Heresy and pre-heresy gives BL the opportunity to tell a grand, universe-spanning story, which it can't normally do because for game reasons the universe circa 40k has to remain static.

So has anyone read the recent Skitarius novel? I keep looking at it, but I'm not sure. Is it good? Or at least decent. I'm hesitant as i keep envisaging 350 pages of bland robot men going on about the Omnissiah and constant harping on about the inferiority of the flesh to the sacred metal etc.

Well if you want metal over flesh, here's a new book I just got an email about : - C L Werner also wrote Siege of Castellax, the only BL book so bad I had to put it down for good - The Kataphrakt on the cover looks like an old school spaceman, and the painterly quality of the cover helps with that and I kinda love it - The Enigma of Flesh is what a true Warhams nerd wonders boobs must feel like

SRM posted:Trust me, no tears were shed that day. Book's loving dreadful. Yeah. I liked Fire Warrior a lot, and the Battlefleet Gothic books, too. There are a lot of bad Black Library books, but "written to promote a specific model/range/release" isn't per se indicative of shittiness. I do find the product placement really tiresome on occasion--I feel it really drags down Salvation's Reach, for example. What I really like is when BL stuff drives FW's Horus Heresy releases.

Was the introduction of the raptors in the Night Stalkers series a model thing? Just finished the books and they weren't mentioned at all in the first book and all of a sudden were all over the place in the 2nd and 3rd.

Far as traitor marines go though, I find the Iron Warriors kinda boring. About the only thing about them I dig is their prevalence of obliterators. e: also to go with the Mechanicus stuff, any of you guys read Priests/Lords/Gods of Mars? What do you guys think of that trilogy? Sorry if it's been discussed but I didn't want to wade through 300+ pages of thread.

SRM posted:I got 100 pages in before I put that book down for good. For decent takes on the Iron Warriors, Graham McNeil wrote Storm of Iron and then later Angel Exterminatus as part of the Horus Heresy series. He wrote those Mechanicum books you mentioned too, which I've heard good things about. McNeil's at his best when he's writing about robots. Angel Exterminatus was good but not because of Perturabo or his Iron Warriors. I dunno the Iron Warriors are just the most boring traitors. Their whole thing is basically "Waaaaaaah we're just as rad as Dorn and the Imperial Fists!!!!" Just about every other original traitor legion is just so much cooler.
