NihilCredo posted:In their respective genres, they might be. But it's less comparing apples and oranges than comparing apples and neutron stars. Sounds like they're on the same level then, just taking 40k in opposite directions. The "Dark Coil" corner of the 40k universe by Peter Fehervari is elevating the whole thing. I really recommend it for people that haven't tried his books yet.

I take every opportunity to recommend Fehervari's books because they are top tier warhams

Fehervari is indeed extremely good and he has a new short story out today! Part of a horror anthology named “the accursed”

Welp. Having bounced off the e-pub version of thread favourite The infinite and the divine, I've just done the same for the audible version. I just can't give a poo poo about Necron stuff (or Eldar).

I have a soft spot for the more obviously flawed Loyalist chapters (Black Templars and Blood Angels mostly) but the vast majority of them are very boring.

I seriously doubt he is actually coming back in it because I doubt it would just be a random return in the 3rd Dawn of Fire book. They'd probably have a much bigger event surrounding it. Can't believe they wasted that title on a book in which he isn't coming back. Never know though I'm not too far in yet so he might actually come back. I'm betting he doesn't come back but that there is some kind of reference or teaser about him.

Looks like Kobo fixed things and they are unavailable now. Hope a few of you got a chance to jump on it. I'll update with reviews of both books here in a few days.

I think that's the image that had me registering @orkstokks on Twitter. I was working on a chatbot to tell you what colour a random ticker symbol was and give investment advice on that basis. Got stuck working out how to convert hex codes into a name of a colour.

I'm afraid there's a long and sad history of 'Fear of Pharonic space robots' that runs in my familys genes. We prayed it'd skip our generation, but alas.

Never know though I'm not too far in yet so he might actually come back. I'm betting he doesn't come back but that there is some kind of reference or teaser about him. During the end of Godblight the Emperor fucks up Nurgle's garden, I'm wondering if this could finally free Isha, the Eldar goddess of healing. I know Russ went into the warp to look for a way to revive the Emperor, maybe this could tie into his return. Anyway, I'm sure the return of the next Primarch will be spoiled because selling little plastic toys is more profitable than books.

Philthy posted:Black Library LE books are amazing. I’ve got two and they’re just insane. They are great looking but the material and build quality is poo poo. They are made in China for as cheap as possible and defects are common and they will fall apart quite easily if they aren't cared for extremely well. Don't get me wrong, I love them, but I collect limited editions from a lot of different publishers and BL LE quality is poo poo. I understand why though, at those price points that is about as good as you are going to get. They'd have to charge $100-$300 more per book if they wanted to do something more acceptable.

I've got random hardbacks with faux-leather cover that have stood up fine to just being thrown in a backpack for bus reading. I think you're under-estimating how much GW cheap out here.

It acknowledges that the traitor astartes have been fighting the war longer than the primarchs were around for and have surpassed them in so many ways despite their lack of supernatural gifts.
