Good gently caress that's wrong. Extra wrong. I never understood WTF people were talking about with their "gee ess" spells when playing D&D until I finally read all the magic rules and was like... "that's a 'geas' lads"... It's pronounced with a hard g like "goose" followed by "yas".

Code Geass ruined a whole generation of nerd pronunciation.

But the dub and the sub use gay-rear end, which is closer than geese or jee-rear end.

I finished Requiem Infernal last night. A++ warhams. Now I want a Void Breachers scion army.

Found dark coil reading order in an interview with Fehervari, figured someone else might also be interested in it.

Interesting, I'd heard to read Requiem Infernal last because that's where it all comes together. There's a spoilery chart out there showing the various tie ins. I read fire caste years ago and liked it, and I picked up Requiem in a bundle a few weeks ago. I grabbed and read Sanctuary of Wyrms last night on a whim. Good stuff.

Propsero Burns has a whole theme and plot point about knowing someone's 'real' name being like having a leash on them.

From earlier in the thread, but didn't this come up in one of the HH books when Magnus is a shadow of his former self and pontificating on the secrets of the universe? I'm sure he says something off-hand about knowing the Emperor's true name and that it would surprise you. I think he was talking to Lorgar?

I remember thinking "uh, isn't that a massive, game changing potential weapon being dropped in conversation?"

Weird, Guy Haley's Dark Imperium book is no longer on kindle/Amazon for me, aside from overpriced used copies. It was there before, I wonder if they took it down by mistake when the boxed game set went OOP.

It's still on black library but it's on the middle of page 2 if you search for it by name.

IIRC they took down Dark Imperium/Plague Wars etc due to the coronavirus connotations.

Huh I guess you're right (edit: I meant that Plague War isn't available on amazon anymore either). I'll either grab them from Black Library directly or wait for an omnibus in a year or ten.

Saturnine should be here for me next Tuesday, looking forward to it and seeing why people seem so angsty over it. Incidentally, I noticed the new version of Daemonifuge seems to have vanished from B&N's site entirely. Anyone know what's up with Daemonifuge?

Ideal scenario: He realizes how important his dad is to the average Joe as a symbol of hope and leverages that while still remaining sensible.

Nightmare (40k) scenario: Joel Osteen except it's Guilliman.

Nah just reading between the lines of Guy Haley's Twitter replies back in mid-March.

I just scrolled back to some in May and he's hinting the third is coming fairly soon and maybe an update to the other two. Maybe a short story to help tie it together with Indomidus?

Plus he already finished the Emperor's Spears sequel and has his Siege of Terra book that he may be underway with, but he'd no doubt be exterminatus'd if he breathed a word about that.

Enuncia is perhaps my least favourite part of the Eisenhorn books.

40k is a massive universe with dozens of potential sources of godlike powers, each with rich lore and plenty of connections to the rest of the universe, any one of which could have been a perfectly suitable MacGuffin for the Cognitae to chase. Instead, Abnett just throws out this crazy powerful universal magic that was supposedly around the whole time even though there was never a single hint about its existence until the late 41st millennium.

It's like the dumb-rear end Perpetuals, perhaps my least favourite part of the entire setting. Oh, hey, some random humans are just randomly super-ultra-duper-immortal to the point of reforming after disintegration and there's no explanation at all, no connection to the Warp or the C'tan or any other part of the setting.

It might have been fine if they were just some footnote hinting at a larger mystery to be explored in the future, but no, there's at least three of them playing critical roles in the Heresy. It's like Tom Bombadil in LOTR, if Tom had decided to follow Frodo and Sam all the way to the Cracks of Doom.

It’s a kind of thing you’d expect from comic books which makes sense i guess from Abnett

I started picking up 2000AD stuff because the UK reprints of US comics I normally get are not happening what with things being as they are. Abnett is in basically every single issue at least once.

I actually liked the Perpetuals, they felt like they fit with 30K being this era of mythical gods and monsters that is only half remembered as legend in 40K. In that context it makes sense that the Emperor isn't actually a complete one off anomaly in a world of otherwise normal humans, that there are other individuals comparable to him if not as prominent. And I'm fine with Enuncia as it is, there's plenty of weird sorcery stuff explained as warp-stuff in 40K, I don't need a character to tell the reader "it's the language of the Old Ones" to make it fit.

Enuncia and the... what were they called, fleets ? The chaos-infused bits of broken glass used like drugs... those are really solid ideas and help explain why the Ravenor series is as good as it is.
