Tzeentch gave him a literal anteater for a dick. EDIT: One of my favorite parts of Throne Of Light is how the dude is like "Just sacrifice a random group of prisoners and cultists and whoever, Tzeentch will figure out the pattern later."

https://www.twitch.tv/warhammer The Black Library preview event has started by the way. Totally missed the time for it and just realised as I saw the WarCo tweet.  Edit: First reveal is a Dawn of Fire book written by... Nick Kyme. Oh no. I guess they had to remind us that the Dawn of Fires series was still a thing that exists. It's Kyme writing Black Templars. Lovely. They announced a novel tie-in character. Or series since it's also Dawn of FIre related. Who is surprised to learn that it is yet another Space Marine? And obviously the first volume of the "final" 30k books is shown off. I can't believe Abnett gets to write a book that has a decent ending. Cover of Volume 2 showed as well. Pictures will be up whenever WarCo decides to put up the articles. Our first AOS entry (at last) is a Bad Loon Rising by Andy Clark. About Zograt and Skrog, a Grot shaman and Troggoth having wacky adventures together. Concept reminds me of the Thanquol and Boneripper books from back then. Oh look, another book about Space Marines.  An artbook about the First Founding chapters. And we're also getting a book about Cypher the Fallen by John French. Hooray, even more Space Marine books.

I assume plot stuff. The dialogue and flavour was a bunch of other BL writers. And Matt Ward was the lead if I remember right to make things kinda funny.

I'm half expecting there to be some kind of framework for future seasonal content where they have a 3 month story arc and theme, like Deeprock. That said I'm so incredibly underwhelmed by the story in Darktide and it's my biggest disappointment about the game after they hyped it up with Abnett last year. I want to believe Inquisitor Rannick is a dupe or a fake because he's the most underwhelming character ever portrayed, I got into the game thinking the lady captain was the Inquisitor. But this is fatshark so I'm 99% sure they cut everything interesting and 6 cutscenes of people saying hello and go to more missions is all we have for a year.

I hate it when they dump all the interesting books at the end. Because we're getting a new Gotrek book, Blightslayer. By Richard Strachan in this case. And a new companion, kinda sad to see Malineth seemingly leaving the slayer. A book about The Last Volari, by Gary Kloster, is a Soulblight Gravelords book. Then finally Pilgrims of Fire by Justin D. Hill, supposedly the start of a new series about the Sisters of Battle. Oh, and ADB's Armageddon book is getting a Collectors Edition in 2023, alongside Anthony Reynolds Word Bearer series. And for the map collectors you can look forward to a new 30k map about the battles for the interior of the Imperial Palace. Cooked Auto fucked around with this message at 16:14 on Dec 4, 2022 |

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/12/04/heres-whats-coming-to-black-library-in-2023/ And here's the collated reveals article for anyone wanting more details. Which also includes a bunch of extra stuff not mentioned in the stream (I think, I definitely tuned out for a lot of it).  Guy Hayley’s Skarsnik and William King’s Angel of Fire got selected for reprints by readers for the Black Library Celebration next year.  Gav Thorpe’s Angels of Darkness is getting a CE reprint.

There’s not much story in it apperently the story is gonna be slow pushed out over the months and years since its more of live game then vermintide was. but you can see abnetts influence. chaos is there but its mostly just regular guardsman and cultists fighting regular dudes. no marines of any variety yet.

Darktides combat is excellent, but I'm already burning out on generic industrial hellscape XYZ and the lack of a meaningful plot and missing the fantastic characterisation of Vermintides characters means I can't see myself playing this in the long haul.

I don't fully mind the lack of characterization since its supposed to be inquisitorial canon fodder and probably working with different folks each time but yeah its alot weaker then then vermintide.

Book about Cypher by John French. Pretty sure I have promised myself to never read anything by him again. He’s the poor Guy Haley right?

Not one of the greats but he is certainly better than Haley. Horusian Wars series is excellent as is the Ahriman series. He has some misses though, like Mortis. Slaves to Darkness was good.

Presumably if they do some actual plot at any point the reveal of Grendyls identity will be part of it. I'm putting money "Actually Grendyl died years ago and no one is really in charge of all this".

Slaves to Darkness was good. French has very great moments, sometimes even whole chapters that are golden, but his actual bigger plots and narratives are usually middling. Except for Mortis, where everything just clashes and congeals, as if someone tried the teleport 5 different soties in the brundlefly machine.

I'm a big fan of John French, and a bit biased, he's not the best prose writer, but he "gets" the 40k vibe more than anyone else. Anyway on that note, I have high hopes for this book, considering Cypher seems to have an important part in the whole new metaplot regarding "The Emperor Knew" theory, and his involvement not just with Roboute in the Great Rift era of 41K, but also with a lot of events in 30k and 40k and everything inbetween, makes me hopeful for this book. I'm hoping for some more of that metaplot hinted at in Penitent, and in John French's own series, Horusian Wars.

How much do the abridged versions of the first three Hoary Heresy books actually abridge? It's almost a pointless question because duty compells me to re-read the unabridged versions (I read them years ago and I'm hoping audiobooks will make it easier to stick with the series), but I'm kinda curious. edit: "Duty" is neurodivergence

I like John French but it seems like his quality varies based on the subject matter. I mentally divide warham aythors into 3 rough categories: writers that are always worth reading, writers who are worth reading if you're interested in the characters the book is about and writers that are not worth reading.

Kurzon posted:Darktide feels like Necromunda Hired Gun. Or Transformers: War for Cybertron. The environment doesn't feel like a place where people actually live and work. Where are the apartments? The public squares? The markets? It feels... like a video game gauntlet with sci-fi greeble wallpaper. There's a bunch of public squares and stalls and workplaces and poo poo. Not too many apartments, but I'm certain some hive cities essentially don't have them when you get a click down or so. You just tuck yourself into a storage closet the five hours you're not mounting skulls on a skull.

Along with a train station, a subway, a church, and a shantytown. This is a weird criticism to level at darktide because a) lots of other games have this exact problem and darktide is unusual in not having it, and b) darktide has plenty of things to criticize!
