Pyrolocutus posted:What if Doomslayer was one of the lost Primarchs and Big E just hosed up by locking him away because he was going on too much about demons and threatened to give the whole Imperial Truth game away Nah, Big E is the original Doomguy, and the destruction of the Icon of Sin is what lead to the creation of the warp. All that evil has to go somewhere.

Doomguy is just what happens when a guardsman stationed in a lovely posting gets sick of the grimdark loving with him, sees a daemon incursion, gets access to more than just a flashlight and finally loses his poo poo.

So, what, the Soul Sphere, Megasphere, Berserker Pack and Invulnerability are the chaos gods trying to sway this physical manifestation of the Emperor's Wrath to their respective side? Or are they the manifestation of the Emperor's Blessing you with divine intervention?

No, no... you see, it's like Eisenhorn. It's ok for him to use these things because it's for a good cause and he'll totally put them back when the immediate threat is over. I mean, Doomguy wouldn't be susceptable to power creep and gradually become powered up to the point where daemons literally poo poo themselves at the mention of his name, right? "You're a bloodthirster... you're huge... that means you have huge guts..."

Malediction was decent, some of the stories we're great some of them were eh, but goddamn I really enjoyed The Wicked and the Damned. I particularly liked the first two novellas, I'd be happy for them to declare the framing story "just a dream" for more stories about those characters (40K Dexter and 40K Breaking Bad respectively).

I clicked through a bunch of titles, and it looks like some titles are even 60% off when you've previously purchased the ebook, so I guess they tried to kinda tie up some form of bundle-deal instead of just going flat-discount on the whole BL portfolio here. Bit of a bummer, really. I would have loved to stack up my Audible treasurechest for the rest of the year with non-HH titles or the anthologies that are absolutely perfect for commutes or shorter trips, but don't really do it for me for nighttime reading.

DEAD GAY FORUM posted:Is Dark Imperium: Plague War any good? I hope so, because Primarchs coming back is pretty grand. Neither of the Dark Imperium books are that good as far as story goes but I enjoyed them for the lore. Seeing a primarch in the 40k era was enough for me. Also, the depiction of the Nurgle invasion of the hospital world was worth the price for me.

Did they shoe-horn Bellisarius Cawl into Wolfsbane because people like me were screaming about wanting to read more context about the poo poo Games Workshop have been doing with the big shifts in course regarding their merchandise over the last two years? Because him saying stuff like "yeah, Space Marines are cool and all, but they can be so much more" was really loving subtle, Black Library, good job. To be fair, I'm enjoying the story, but there's always this lingering impression of actually hearing GW/BL whispering from the corner of your room "if you think you know anything about him because you know where he is today, oh man, do you have another thing coming". Well, go on then, loving deliver  Speaking of Wolfsbane, the Space Wolves part of the book kicked off hilarious, with Russ challenging Emp's to an eating contest first thing they met, but the schtick with the slang and shamanism and tribal culture is starting to get pretty stale. Listen, we've had like six books showing us ~THE ROUT~ and their ~MYSTERIOUS WAYS~ and ~THEY TALK DIFFERENT, YOU SEE~ and whatnot, and I appreciate the way Russ had to totally show up Dorn in an act of defiance to show he's totally not just a one-dimensional executioner for the Emperor (gently caress you, I liked him that way, to be honest), but can we actually get around to doing things now? Hell, they actually had Russ yell at his most senior cadre of Einherjarvalkyrroutrunepriestshamans with something super-cliché like "IF ANY OF THOU SPEAKETHSTS ILL OF MINE WYRD, I SHALL PUT YE OLDE MURDER-MAKKE UPON THINE FACE AND CUT THINE THREAD and snow run red and Aett and ValHellar and commissioner gonna have my badge yaddayaddayadda, you know the drill". I get it, jesus christ, can they maybe kill a thing or two now?

Are they still keeping this in the lore? Like, the Emperor descends to the planet in all his shiny, golden, pants-making GBS threads divine, fall-to-your-knees glory and Russ is like "yeah, bet I can eat more than you!". And the Emperor actually says "nuh uh... bring it on you weirdy beardy larping puff"?! I get that it worked back in the early silly days of 40k where they cribbed from folk tales and legends, but I really can't picture the scene in 'modern' 40k. Were there serfs bringing roast hogs on an industrial scale? Did the Emperor burp during this? Did he wear a golden napkin?

Just started on Requiem Infernal and it looks like it's going to be The Name of the Rose in a spoopy Adepta Sororitas convent (a Hospitaller one too, not a Battle Sisters-focused one). Will report back on whether it's any good.

I finished reading The Inquisition War and I'm curious how much of that novel ended up effecting Ynnead's creation. God brought about to end Chaos? Check. God birthed early and almost caused more damage than Chaos? Check (well, okay, that was just an ongoing fear of Jaq's). Really, just swap out "Jaq Darco" for Eldrad and you probably have a pretty good conclusion for Inquisition War.

I know right. Regardless of the cost I want that book. Speaking of Inquisition war I like how everyone complained the third book ends abruptly when that's the case for all of them. Even the first and second books have more abrupt endings than most Dan Abnett books. Also I'm barely into the third one and so utterly sick and tired of Slaanesh that I was really glad Tzeentch started showing up early on. Pretty sure this series is very much responsible for the image nerds have of Slaanesh because oh boy does it push that angle hard a lot of the time.

Why wouldn't Gullie just say "look, I talked with dad, you should talk with dad," then they gallivant off to Terra and sit in the throne room for a while until poo poo is sorted out? I just feel like anything that outright sets the Lion against Guillie is going to be contrived as poo poo given the dire state of things. He's already lived through the Heresy, why is he going to turn without really sorting through things first?

Okay. Guilliman wakes up. Sees the state of the Imperium and is disgusted. Goes to check on the Emperor, now is in command and is doing stuff. Next Lion wakes up. Sees the state of the Imperium and is disgusted. Then he hears Guilliman's in charge - it's Imperium Secundus all over again, but it is the Imperium. That, plus pre-existing distrust of the Dark Angels, doesn't sound too contrived to me.
