Deptfordx posted:It's obvious they can't succeed from page one so what's the point. You could say this about the entire HH series. We all know Horus isn't going to succeed in taking Terra so what's the point. To be clear, I'm not really ready to die on this hill. Like at all. Nemesis was far from the best HH novel, but just far from the worst IMO.

Azubah posted:I thought the...liberators of relics were the guys from the dawn of war games. Oh the Blood Ravens are notorious in memes for that (and there are a few select shady “acquisitions” in canon which are the basis of the memes), but Trayzn the Infinite is comparatively that level of thief/liberator/collector in canon, never mind the memes. He has a whole planet-stasis-vault affair of things he’s “collected”, I think, though I don’t recall the name.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/09/15/how-the-twice-dead-king-series-offers-deep-insights-into-the-madness-of-the-necron-mind Article says the 2nd book is already in the pipeline and I've actually heard it's already finished. That bodes well for this book being good, enough to already have a sequel in the works before release. They've already got the cover for the 2nd book in the article. Crowley did a great job on the Ghazgkull book too. Some really good artwork here too.

Was the necron spell that put them in their armor the same as the one that cursed the 1000 sons into their armor .

Nope, different spells that happened roughly 60 million years apart Xenomrph posted:Is it Trazyn the Infinite? He should cameo in everything, just stealin’ poo poo. Nah it's Mephiston. It's like 1 minute into the episode and it's just background info so it's not really a spoiler. But cool to see an actual well known character in the show. Dang I'm ready for them to drop another show though

Trazyn has never stolen a thing in his unlife. He has lovingly preserved key pieces of galactic history so that his people may view them at their pleasure in his exquisitely curated exhibits, after they all wake up and take back the galaxy. He's really a conservationist.

Necrons aren't in their "armor", their flesh sloughed off and their skeletons turned into spooky metal, and most of them lost their personalities based on rank and station.

Maybe. Here's an excerpt from Indomitus about the memories of a Necron thinking back on the transformation, it's not really spoilers for the book itself but I'll tag it anyway in case: He looked up at the Evermount and the Great Machine that had been erected at its summit. It was true that he had devised some of its angled walls and projecting antennae, stretching like hands towards the rising sun, but of its real workings he knew little. ‘I think it will tickle,’ he said, prodding both daughters to elicit squeals of shock and joy. Cleophatia’s look of happiness intensified and Zozar’s heart throbbed with pride, knowing he had done well in her eyes. As nobility, albeit of low rank, they would be among the first to enter the biotransference halls. Zozar took his daughters’ hands and led them up the marbled pathway, while other families gathered ahead at the gates. He realised he was trembling with excitement and they could sense it too. So close to the end of the pain. Zozar could scarce believe that he had played a small part in the creation of their salvation. He was torn from his reverie by a strange sensation, like grit in his hands. He rubbed his fingers together, realising he no longer held onto his children. It felt like sand falling from his palms. Zozar looked down at the two girls. Each was falling apart, slowly disintegrating into dull, ruddy crystals. Flesh became dust, slipping away from a shining metal skeleton beneath. He looked at his own hands, the gnarled, cancer-ridden digits falling on the breeze too. The sensation crept up his arm, freezing for a moment, leaving a chilled numbness in its wake. Cleophatia gasped in horror. He turned his eyes upon his beloved but she looked back not with eyes of love and warmth but the cold red stare of optical lenses. All three had become animated statues, embodiments of death that he had laboured hard to escape. The Great Machine was meant to free them from the burdens of the flesh, but not like this. His own body melted away, leaving unfeeling living metal. Brendan Rodgers fucked around with this message at 17:09 on Sep 15, 2021 |

Here's a couple short excerpts for people that want to see how that little thread goes: The last tattered vestiges of his loved ones fluttered from thought and the emptiness inside swelled with a different strength. Rage. A rage powered by a loss magnified through the lens of aeons. Rage fuelled by a guilt only known to one that had doomed his love by his own hand. Rage and hate flowed, crackling across metal bones. All living things would perish in the inferno of his anger. All was ruin and all would be rendered unto ruin for all time. His despair needed venting or it would consume him. Zozar the Destroyer had woken. When he had first woken, Zozar had spent a considerable amount of time abducting sentients to analyse their psychic make-up. He had questioned them at length about their feelings, delving beyond systemic biochemical responses to expose the very depths of true emotion. It had been the approach of an engineer, to break apart the problem to understand it, in the hopes that it would contain the solution for its own rebuilding. He had come to one madness-inducing conclusion. There was no cure for the biotransference. Whatever plans and dreams the likes of Szarekh thought up, Zozar knew that they could no more harness their lost souls than they could grip the vacuum itself. There was nothing left to grasp.

There's a reason the Necrons hated the C'tan and eventually killed them (as much as you can kill a C'tan.)

Abbey's Bookshop (australia) and Book Depository (UK) are currently shipping copies of the Warhawk regular hardback if you happen to live in either of those countries. Book Depository also offers free international shipping! I've placed an order and am hoping it gets here relatively fast. Completely depends on what type of shipping they do so it will either be a week or a month+. Either way there is a good chance I get it before release.

Improbable Lobster posted:Can't wait for the necrons to scour the universe of life, then go insane and self destruct over untold aeons finally silencing reality with a cold and silent death They will metaphorically throttle the soul out of the entire universe with their unfeeling metal hands, by literally cutting the realm of souls away from the physical world. When they're done, they'll just... Stop. Sit down or something, and never stand back up. The silent king thinks he can fix things and find a way to bring them back to life, but he's just lying to himself.

I frequently get books from Goldsboro in London via airmail and they get here within a week. Can't wait for Warhawk, I suggest US goons order it if you can't wait. BTW if you don't know about Goldsboro check them out. I'm a member of their GSFF club and it's worth it.

No. 1 Juicy Boi posted:I can't believe how incredibly boring Battle for the Abyss is. Like, I'm about 1/3 through it, and so far it's mostly just been ships I've never heard of and don't care about blowing up. This is where I stopped reading with the exception of Nemesis because who the hell wouldn't immediately impulse buy a book with an Eversor and Culexus going after.. who really cares. It has badass assassins who are batshit insane let loose on the universe. And that cover, I mean that poo poo is a true pinup for fluff nerds. But, I've begun again with the Siege of Terra series and it's been excellent. Until I run into some Battle for the Abyss poo poo again, I'll keep going.
