Gravitas Shortfall posted:I'm interested in what the twist will be, because everyone already "knows" what happened, and there is no way it plays out exactly like that. I'm hoping the entire story is written from the perspective of one of the marines who happened to be aboard but didn't see everything, so we just get glimpses of what occurs and what it was like to be around the event.

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:Tutelaries are the craziest poo poo in the lore. Sure my whole “loyal” legion is just openly palling around with daemons. It’s no big deal. Did the Dark Angels have their lil pals back then, Im sure Necromundan gang lords had their weird bat babies P.S. Which is the chicken and which is the egg

I've read like 70 books leading up to this they better loving give me the most epic scene ever to grace the page of black library. Imagine sinking that amount of time into a series where the climactic battle is known and then when it gets here some dude in the next room sees some flashing lights, some bangs, and pees his power armor.

Z the IVth posted:Open the book with Emps obliterating Horus and the rest of it is the scouring. Real guess? I bet that book 1 is going to be 80% what Ollanius was doing while the Siege progressed. And a Random Garviel Loken appearance. Just because that's what his books have tended towards in the Siege. Last we checked in with Oll he was flying on Terra trying to get to the siege lines with Alpharius, a proto-marine, and his little crew from Calth. Doesn't help that the last siege book ended with the Vengeful Spirit dropping it's shields.

Which is prolly why they get overlooked by other factions.

I love how many people have turned the grot with the pistol into a grot with a drill simply by gluing an actual drill bit into the barrel. It's a genius little conversion and it always works.

Literally Loken walking out of the throne room shaking his head saying "I was there when Horus slew the Emperor... you should have seen that poo poo, man" Personally I hope Malcador has enough of their poo poo and just "turns the car right around" and murks them both before stuffing Olly on the throne and retiring

Just finished the Sanguinius primarch novel. By far the best primarch novel to date. Wraight absolutely killed it. A haunting look under the hood at the Blood Angels. He gets them in a way no other author has before. Honestly he should just be forced to write at least one book for each of the legions. This was comparable to Lords of Silence in it's unique portrayal of the legion he was writing about. Like there is a surface level understanding of a legion, then a more nuanced deeper take you pick up once you've read enough lore, then there is the definitive account that Wraight lays out. It has some strong psychological horror aspects to it. Can't recommend it enough.

It's all the short stories from the three previously released primarch anthologies (sons, scions, and blood of the emperor) plus like three new stories. That's why it's so big.

It was released a year before Epic Armageddon which had them in the rulebook, which is the earliest I can remember them existing. Are they described wonkily in it?

No, it's just that he conjures up an unnamed blimp-like insertion craft in a situation where Valkyries would be used in later books.

The book just described the Marauders dropping three hundred thousand tons of explosives on the city. Wouldn’t be Warhammer without that kind of thing.

Maybe they can shoot off some firecrackers while they're at it. I mean why do they bother? We've shot up over a million cannon shells and what are the results: one dachshund with a slight limp.
