When you're 40 million years old, who's to say you won't spend a few decades crafting exquisite sculptural recreations of the beloved forebear of your guests? People need hobbies.

DANTE MEETS THE SILENT KING! - Wolf Lord Rho https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyIl7SM0Y6k quote:The events we are discussing today are from the short story "The Word of the Silent King" by L J Goulding. And as always I really recommend you read the story for yourself first. Not only do you get the most enjoyment this way, for yourself! But we help to support the great Games Workshop and Black Library. As without them, we wouldn't have this fantastic lore to talk about.

Huh, the otherwise forgettable Pharos book ends with the Tyranids only heading to the milky way because Astronomicon B blew up while the Heresy was nearly over. *edit* Maybe Orikan told him. Arbite fucked around with this message at 14:12 on Feb 18, 2021 |

Heads up for anyone hoping to get in on the preorder clusterfuck on Saturday - you now have to link your GW account to a MyWarhammer account before you can log in. Took me a few minutes to do that just now, and definitely would have cost me precious time on Saturday!

It'd be really nice if they had actually said something about that because I don't recall seeing anything about it on their FB pages or on WarCom. Also I discovered that you can't change emails on your Black Library account. Nor is that linked to MyWarhammer yet. Great job there.

For anyone who’s done the preorder scramble before, what’s the best practice? Get logged in and sit down Saturday at 12:50est jamming f5? I hate that I have to do this. I just want my beautiful version of Penitent.

I've been in a Warhamms frenzy these last weeks, here are my awful reviews: - Finished the Fabius Bile series, especifically, books 2 and 3, Clonelord and Manflayer, respectively. Clonelord is full of interesting moments and plot elements like the surviving uncorrupted clone of Fulgrim. Also while I figured out almost immediately that the mysterious metallic world containing the gene-tithe was a necron world, I did not expect to be loving Solemnace of all things, boy Trazyn is such a gift that keeps on giving. I cannot stress enough that the ending of Clonelord is  , so drat good.Manflayer has a very different feeling and a quicker pace than the two previous books, also I like the antagonists, it's nice to see To sum it up, the Fabius Bile series are a pleasant surprise and really good reads, especially if you enjoy unconventional chaos space marine characters but with enough nuance and character development to make them interesting without relying in the usual villain tropes. Fabius himself takes the cake as he's probably the most atypical space marine character ever written, he kinda gives a similar feeling like the characters in ADB's Night Lords trilogy, you sympathise with him although he's an amoral monster (not in a moustache twirling fashion, though). Honestly I enjoyed the character's insights and their development much more than the action scenes, which are decently done but they are not the central element of the books. In my opinion, they are a fantastic read and barely a step behind ADB/Abnett/Wright best works. - Leman Russ: the Great Wolf by Chris Wright. This one is a retelling of the old story about the origins of the feud between the Space Wolves and the Dark Angels, just more fleshed out. It's competently written and has some interesting tibdits, especially because it's the first time I've read Russ himself talk about his memories and thoughts about the moment when he arrived at Terra immediately after the defeat of Horus. It has some really good fighting scenes as well. It's just good, Wright as usual. - Roboute Guilliman: Lord of Ultramar by David Annandale. The primarch books , in my experience at least, are very hit or miss and this one is definetly a miss. I'm still 80% in and I'm having trouble to pick it up and finish it. It has a lot of action written very poorly. The main battle drags forever in a very boring way, seriously, it feels forced and it sucks . The plot is fairly uninteresting, the speech gimick of the Ultramarines gets grating fast and Roboute himself feels wooden and pretentious. I've yet to reach the ending, but I feel this book can be safely skipped, as is pretty much mediocre bolter porn, which is a shame because I really like Roboute and the Ultrasmurfs.

i'm going back and rereading some older HH books i skipped and i forgot how every single character in graham mcneill's books talks in the same voice. the rest of his prose is forgettably C+ but the dialogue is always so jarring because it's almost always impossible to tell who's talking out of context.

It's nice to imagine the main conflict is another legion's unit being integrated into the blues but that's making your own fun at that point.

I really hope my FLGS is open next week because they've been doing reconstruction and I keep using them as my place to order stuff for GW because gently caress their insane shipping prices and the nearest GW store for me is in another country so I can't use that either. Feels like I'm just going to have to consign myself to missing out on the Liber Xenologis if I'm unlucky and it disappears fast off the preorder shelves.

Yeah, I see what the writer tried to do with the disgruntled unit plot. It could have been good if handled differently instead of just letting it dissappear in a sea of blue bolter porn.

Seems like a bold move releasing Penitent in audiobook form without Pariah being so-released? E: I hope it's Emma Gregory or Penelope Rawlins doing it, I've got mad love for Toby and all but he doesn't do girl voices that well?

It was a wild choice to make the first half of Flight of the Eisenstein literally just a retelling of the previous book's events, but Nathaniel Garro is a really cool character.

If BL books are now available on the GW general website, why is the black library site still a thing if they're centralising more? I'm trying to which site to be on to do the preorder tomorrow but really can't work it out.

Black Library used to be for all the books but their site couldn't take all the nerds trying to buy their limited editions at once. So they usually do the general releases via that site and the LE releases on the GW site.

It'll probably be fine on Audible. I don't know whether the sketchiness is at the BL end or the Audible end* but Black Library books often (And it's been especially bad recently) don't appear on the Audible page until they mysteriously flash into spontaneous existance only on the day of release. Can't say for certain obvs. but there's a good chance they'll just appear on Audible next weekend (or the 4th). *But I'd place money on which.
