A writers room working on it is pretty encouraging, though the fact they're going for an LA agency and the American style writers room rather than a single UK writer makes me think they might be looking to shoot in North America. I'm in the tv industry in the UK and id give my left nut to get onto that show if they shoot it here. (Which they should, who else can properly portray a fascist theocratic hellscape than the hated British?)

I can't wait for them to visit a forest planet that looks like that one forest in Vancouver and a hive world that looks suspiciously like Toronto with sci-fi signage.

I doubt he's affordable, but I always thought Mads Mikkelsen would make an amazing Eisenhorn. Especially if they go with the whole "facial expression nerves are cauterized so my face is a perpetual deadpan" angle, which I doubt they will.

I wonder why Abnett came up with that, given that it's super cheesy and he never used it for much of anything (unless you count an ominous hint when Eisenhorn smiles at the end of the Magos), even occasionally forgot it. Maybe it was a meta-joke referencing the fact that the character is really a plastic miniature?

I think it was just an early attempt at a distinctive, grimdark trait that got swept aside when the characters just grew past needing props. "Big scar over one eye? Been done. Cybernetic mouth or neck? Looks goofy. Burn marks? Ehh, too much like a scar. Facial tattoo? Well, he may need to be undercover at some point. Got it! He has a cold, unfelling face, like his job! And it's not even by choice!"

He voiced Eisenhorn in the crappy mobile game version of Xenos. Only good part of it was his narration.

The most recent Hammer and Bolter episode really made me realize how fuckin' badass Cadians are even after having read all the tidbits of lore about them over the years. Did the Imperium ever go about getting them a new homeworld? Because they should. loving turn that place into an Astartes recruiting world once they do. Win all the wars on every front.

There are like 20 planets named New Cadia because a bunch of victorious Cadian regiments have been given planets over the years.

Oh wow. In that case, destroying Cadia was both the best and worst move Chaos ever made.

AndyElusive posted:Oh wow. Ehh. Depends on what they write. Normally, no longer being contained in an isolated mutating hellscape and being able to harvest whole planets for material and resources instead of butting heads agains tthe Cadian Gate would be the jackpot for Chaos. Sure, make more Cadias to churn out bodies in green carrying lasrifles. Khorne approves.

Ripping the Imperium in half is going to greatly benefit Chaos, it's not necessarily going to benefit the Chaos Marines. The Long War has been shoved aside in favor of survival and the Imperium has new blood flowing through It's sclerotic veins.

Its also a good example of how GW could completely gently caress an EXTREMELY popular sub group of a faction but not gently caress over the tabletop players.

Is it new cadia, new new cadia, new new new cadia etc. Or new cadia I, new cadia II, new cadia III? The regiments must get crazy as well - first new cadians II third new cadians, second new cadians III.

In Requiem Infernal the planet’s name change request gets approved and it becomes Penitence 47, or something, because all these shrine worlds have the same unimaginative names.

Do Cadians have purple eyes? I thought that was the native inhabitants that the word bearers met, who they later wiped out and resettled new colonists.

Thoughts on the Dawn of Fire series? I know GW/BL want to be like the HH series of novels but that had strong showings by Abnett and McNeill early on, but it sounds like so far Avenging Son is by far the best of the lot. I know Thorpe isn't a great writer (kudos to him for regularly doing xenos POV works, though) and I'm not overly fond of the Space Wolves so I probably would have skipped Wolftime anyway. The only thing by Clark I've read was the "Crusade" novella, which I remember as having pretty flat Ultramarines characters and mustache-twirling Death Guard baddies. Should I skip Gates of Bone as well?
