For people in the UK apparently there’s a big audiobook sale on Audible that includes a bunch of BL stuff. https://youtu.be/xiR5P0a5AMw

Looking for what books this might be referencing so I can backtrack later. I'm reading the second book in the Siege of Terra and it mentions Russ destroyed Prospero to punish Magnus and then was still pissed and went after Horus and fought him and apparently killed him a second time. One of the titans in Legio Solaria saw Horus slain and immediately teleported off the battlefield just before the titan was destroyed. What books tell the tale of the second part of this? I am really digging Abaddon knowing something is up with Horus and is already thinking he's a weak-rear end leader too corrupted by Chaos to be useful before they even get to Terra.

Arcsquad12 posted:Milo has had a destiny attached to him ever since he was under observation by the inquisitor back during Ghostmaker. He's implied to be a low level psyker with precognition. He left the regiment during Sabbat Martyr to travel with Sabbatine and fulfill his destiny fighting alongside the living Saint. Not a precog. That was definitively put to rest in Ghostmaker, then Serpent and the Saint etc. Spoilers for Vincula Insurgency He's nalsheen, like MkVenner is, his seeming precog abilities are just his ability to hyper analyze his surroundings in insane detail and process minutae, leading to "instincts. Also there are bad guy countparts to nalsheen, which is pretty wild.

Oh does Milo show up in Farrer's Urdesh novel? That's cool. I'm still waiting to pick up Urdesh and Sabbat War because Chapters hasn't gotten them in yet.

Immanentized posted:Spoilers for Vincula Insurgency Vincula spoilers: I got that he was Nalsheen because of the tattoo, but I didn't see anything about him not actually being a precog? I know that was the excuse he was telling himself but that was because that was early in the timeline and he didn't want to admit what was really going on because he could get burned at the stake for it. I thought the later Ghost books confirmed he does have a mild precog ability? Also, I don't think he knows he is Nalsheen and definitely wasn't trained by them. I think the Nalsheen are just really well trained hyper-badasses not some kind of hereditary badass gene.

Someone linked this earlier and the writing is so good. It's 40k high weirdness, which is some of the most interesting 40k imo. A woman gets corrupted by a food additive, embraces it, walks down a corridor that has always seemed off, and twists into her darkest self. That's the first story in the reading order, I'm reading the first novel now and it has Blood Angels who are actually interesting, it's great.

I find Titans boring in a lot of books because they're scenery more than they're characters and Titandeath goes out of it's way to establish the personalities and make you care when it lives up to it's title.

A TRAVELLER’S GUIDE TO PETER FEHERVARI’S DARK COIL posted:Sarastus "Sarastus" means "dawn", or to be more exact, it means "the very first rays of morning sun (that wake you up)" in Finnish. Is that, like, intentional, or the spookiest fuckin' coincidence?

I've been looking forward to the Saturnine audiobook for a long while now, ever since I got close to the siege of terra series on audible, just around the buried dagger or praetorian or so. Mainly because I realized Jonathan Keeble was narrating all of the SoT books and his narration just owns owns owns. So i knew to expect excellent narration, and was looking forward to all the scenes in Saturnine that stand out from the entire Heresy series as a whole, let alone the book itself, but i wasn't prepared for three things: 1. How loving much his rendition of Olly Piers would make me laugh 2. Emma Gregory is a guest narrator (narratress?) on the audiobook, doing all of Mistress Crole's parts, and it works so goddamn well 3. Camba Diaz' last stand. I mean yeah, i knew it was coming, but Jesus, i was physically exhausted

I just finished Miles Cameron's first sci-fi novel Artifact Space and it was absolutely fantastic. He signed a GW contract a while ago and while I assumed it was for fantasy/AoS I would be really excited to see what he could do with a 40K novel.

I've been reading the Watchers of the Throne series (which I highly recommend, of course), and have been a bit surprised at how thoughtmark is depicted. I always thought of it as a sign language comparable to what you would encounter in real life. However, Wraight writes that it can be weaponized, even if how it works isn't really explained. For example, he writes, " The next thoughtmark gesture was a special one, a mark of intimidation that caused physical pain, addling the senses and generating a burst of fear in even the staunchest of unmodified spirits." Whenever this happens I always imagine her just flipping someone off really hard. e: also the custodian/sister of silence friendship is the best relationship in 40k Kevin DuBrow fucked around with this message at 01:56 on Jul 21, 2021 |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekLldlHTuPk TLDR Games Workshop updated their terms and conditions to include a line saying that any and all fanfilms and fan content are now copyright infringment, because this whole back and forth over fan animations and the warhammer TV streaming service hasn't been stupid enough already.

GW has always been litigious about protecting their IP. It still sucks and I still laugh at their delusion for trying to copyright pauldrons and space marines. I dont want to lose more fan animations is all. Fan communities can be toxic hellholes but I'd rather see content creators do what they want without GW dropping the hammer on nonprofit projects.
