Pendent posted:Some goons from the main 40k thread do a podcast called the 40k Badcast and on one of their episodes they do a review of Fulgrim that I highly recommend you listen to. Thanks for the heads up, based on that review yeah I think I'll skip it. Also holy hell, the review of Space Marine is fantastic. I have a vague memory of finding a copy of Harlequin by Ian Watson in my school library when I was about 12, BL really need to start republishing his stuff.

It was a one off convention game, I think it was Was ist ein Space Ork Ober Brau, but that was like 20 years ago at this point. I think "innuendo" implies a level of subtlety that is definitely not there in Ian Watson's writing  Owlkill posted:Thanks for the heads up, based on that review yeah I think I'll skip it.

I can't believe a school library had anything by Ian Watson, the dude's a loon. We also have a segment on the show called 40k Book Club where we talk in depth about a Black Library book. A few weeks ago we did one on the excellent Fifteen Hours: https://40kbadcast.com/2017/02/11/40k-badcast-04-the-40k-baaaaaaaaaadcast-the-worlds-foremost-scifi-sheep-podcast/ Stay tuned, we'll be doing another one soon!

Yeah I'm guessing the librarians just thought "oh hey, lots of the kids like that game with the little plastic spacemen, let's grab some books about it" without actually bothering to read through them first, they had one of the Genevieve books as well.

That's pretty much it for BL books we've covered, we're only a couple episodes in at this point. I just finished the Guilliman novella last night though, so I might talk about it when we record today. We're trying not to talk too much about Heresy books because there's 40 of the drat things and it's hard to just jump into the middle.

Owlkill posted:I bought the HH humble bundle - I'm planning on at the very least skipping all the non-Abnett/ADB/Swallow/McNeill books and really want to just stick to the books that are actually decent. I've read the opening trilogy and Eisenstein, which I enjoyed more than I thought I would. Is Fulgrim worth sticking with? in my experience McNeill can be pretty hit and miss, I'm only a couple of chapters in but I'm just not feeling any "bite" so far. It took me about a month to slog my way through Fulgrim, and then 6-10 were like a breath of fresh air. I guess I'm glad that I read it, I've read worse, but I'll never read it again. There's a lot of messed up poo poo at the end, which lends to the "gross beauty" of chaos, but meh.

Angry Lobster posted:You should do a review of Battle for the Abyss, it would be comedy gold. Or Nemesis. It had its okay moments, but Officio Assassinorum: The sitcom was just the polar opposite of what I had expected or even "wanted". For what it's worth, I thought Fulgrim was an okay book. I don't have much of a problem with hamfisted plot twists, or in-your-face TRAGIC FIGURE types of deals when it's in the 40k universe. I laughed a lot at the passage with "He's a primarch obsessed with perfection yet miserably fails to accomplish a single perfect thing". Quick question regarding the Night Lords trilogy that I finished while mildly drunk: I assumed Decimus is Octavia & Septimus' kid, yes? So Variel found them after all and took their kid into the Legions, and then implanted it with Talos' geneseed, hence them calling him prophet?

Uncle w Benefits posted:Re reading A thousand sons. ^^^^Dammit Yes, but not really wolves. It's pretty heavily foreshadowed that the colonists of Fenris messed with their DNA in order to survive the planet's extreme environment. The Space Wolves geneseed interacts weirdly with this DNA manipulation to override the majority human DNA with majority Wolfthing. It gets expanded on in Prospero Burns and Battle of the Fang

For what it's worth the recent Forge World Prospero book talks about Fenris and says it almost seems like it was made as a prison planet. The diversity of the people and monsters is said to be such that they must have been put there (or in some cases bio-engineered) by someone.

I'm honestly surprised there's no old school joke guard regiment or something modeled on Australia. It's a death world, their rough riders ride kangaroos, they once revolted against the government in the sacra rebellion, the possibilities are endless. E: Original idea do not steal
