Ok what’s all this about the Lion back? Is there any books about this or is it just in a codex release and we won’t get to read about his first words being “What the ever living gently caress did you do Cypher!?!”

Are there any good/informative books about the Fallen? How many are there? Do they have a leader? Are they in the eye of Terror, or do they have some other turf? It feels so nebulous as to be just a thing to give DA a vague purpose other than usual marine stuff.

Turns out I have one more LE copy of The End and the Death Vol. 1. My brother came through for me. I’d like to trade this one for an LE copy of Saturnine, my favorite Siege book. Does anyone have one and want EATD? And if this thread isn’t the appropriate place for this, let me know and I can open one in SA mart.

What does a lone Fallen even do? "Don't mind me, I'm just a random 8 feet tall posthuman going about my day and um, serving the emperor here on Armpitia IX"!"

Black Griffon posted:Is there a reading list for stuff that covers the knights errant and such before Vengeful Spirit? Lotta "remember when this happened?" about stuff outside the main Heresy sequence going on here. There's also the Silent War anthology, which covers a few bits of action for a certain returning character. If it's useful, someone earlier in the thread posted this neat reading list, which breaks things down into smaller arcs: https://www.reddit.com/r/40kLore/comments/jjr9m5/cd8ds_personal_guide_to_reading_the_horus_heresy/ I'm just hitting VS in my own read-through. Not one of the top tier books, but quite fun so far. I'd put it on par with McNeill's entry in the first trilogy.

Oh yeah that's kinda useful. I'm still reading in order of release, but it's nice to know where I can make certain exceptions.

Yeah Silent War is the better one to catch up with before Vengeful Spirit IIRC. I'm up to The Ruinstorm! I've gotta do some kinda lil writeup/review before I move on to Siege of Terra

Calax posted:The Ark of Omen book is going to be the first actual fluff about him returning and that should be out this week. Beyond that they're going to release a book about him in the near future (Mike Brooks is the author). Correction, pre-order this week for release next weekend. Speaking of which, they posted an interview with Brooks on WarCo if anyone is curious: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/04/12/mike-brooks-interview-heretics-and-aliens-are-out-lion-eljonson-is-in/

Has the Lion always looked like someone's elderly grandfather? I can't remember if I ever saw art of him before the recent news.

I’m sure we’ll know more when at least the Arks book comes out this week (if not a whole lot more when Brooks’ book drops), but I think the general consensus is that he wasn’t in stasis like Guilliman, but legit quasi-sleeping for almost 10k years, and that’s how a Primarch ages.

I feel like it's also just a weird Jeremy Corbyn reference that didn't predict him getting booted from the Labour Party.

Perfectly on brand for Primarch Corbyn's legions having a bit of blue on blue though with the entrenched psycho wing having a go at the "fallen". I guess we'll see Kier Luther appear soon enough, guy would make a wicked chaos spawn.

Speaking of blue on blue, it’d be highly fitting that Jeremius Corbynius would get into a slap fight with the Big Blue brother in charge of the administration…

The Daily Throne - "Jeremius Corbynius laughed out of high lords court as he suggests providing resources to deathworlds. Heretical nonsense! We must stop this insidious threat! Behold!! Infected genestealer cults arriving by the day! Invasion!" Also the Daily Throne - "The holy Robute Guilliman decrees that death worlds shall be aided! Glory! Loyalty and tithes increase!"

Good morning, hello, how are you all. Last night I got high and imagined two space marines from different chapters falling in as much love as space marines can and founding a new chapter together. I will try to write this out at some point but I encourage the spread of the idea. also I can think of a million ways to handwave it but do we have any mingled geneseed chapters that aren't renegade bands

The Carcharodons are very strongly hinted to be mixed as well, but not stated outright.

There's been a number of examples of loyalists from traitor legions in the books and it wouldn't be too hard to imagine chapters founded by mixed loyalists. My successor chapter's backstory involves them finding heresy-era genebank that was lost in the warp, used it to rebuild their chapter and are now trying to hide the fact from their primaris reinforcements.

Okay I was thinking the space sharks were almost 100% loyalist night lords where's the mix between them and raven guard hinted at.

The dumb colour magic planes, the somehow even more egregious naming conventions than 40k, the whole fantasy kitchen sink dialed up to 11 feel of it. Plus I still hold a candle in my heart for the Old World. Hell, I'm GM'ing the WRFP 4E version of The Enemy Within right now.

I read Plague Garden, which is touted as one of the "good" books, but it was basically just soulless bolter porn without the bolters, which made it even more boring.
