Reading a Sigmar short that came out last october, Of Blood and Guts by Gary Kloster.

I always say what I read last is my favorite such and such, but this is a super fun short story.

Two protagonist story of a brain-eating Ogre mercenary and a Vampire courtier who meet under arms but maybe become the best of friends. It's a really breezy short with two characters I'd love to see more of, especially the ogre who's genuinely quite funny.

Big recommend if you have some bucks to spend.

If I spread the word enough maybe Kloster could expand it into a full book.

BL has had a good track record recently of introducing characters like that in short stories and then giving them a full novel down the road.

I'm SURE walking around in a respirator at all times in an (even more) OPEN BIDENing society is definitely not a recipe for disaster and anyone that's not cool with getting harassed by CHUDs are cave dwellers. I've got good brain!
Only Horus, Vulkan, Perturabo, Lorgar and Alpharius are bald, aren't they? Fulgrim, Sanguinius and Magnus all have glorious long flowing hair, Corax and Konrad have emo boy hair, and Dorn, Guilleman, the Lion and Ferrus have basically ordinary short haircuts I think.

No idea if Mortarion has hair to be honest.

Does it not have any of John Blanche's work? Or the stuff from the original TCG?

EotD3 spoilers:
actually maybe that was part of the inspiration for some of the Emps/Horus card battle, since that actually predated the novel series and IIRC actually sparked interest in exploring the whole era in the first place.

Everything in that cover is insanely bad. It's like three separate DeviantArt portrait pieces got handed over to a first-year graphic design student, who was told to make some generic warp poo poo using Kai's Power Tools and then follow a Photoshop tutorial to place the primarchs in it (but they only had GIMP).

It manages to be a huge step down from the lovely 3D renders of early HH book covers.

I really hope the meeting of Guilliman and the Lion is not in one of the codex books. I need a full novel that involves both of them together. That and Cawl are basically all I care about at the moment for current day lore.

Alternately, a completely baffling BL mandate where the two never speak to each other again, for no discernible reason. Really lean into it, where one leaves the room just as the other enters, to the point where characters wonder if they’re not both the same person because no one ever sees them in the same place at the same time. Have bizarre contrivances for why they can’t even talk with each other over vox. Get really stupid with it.

Cawl fires up Lion Inferior after surreptitiously getting a brainscan and then it's the 3 inferiors getting into increasingly convoluted plots on how they'll take over from Cawl and save the Imperium.

Maybe it's because I'm in a post teatd fugue, but I bought brutal kunnin' on audible, and I just absolutely can not get into the VA, who seems to be afraid to raise his voice, which works very poorly for an ork book- though in fairness, it is perhaps a book not well suited for narration, what with orks screaming all of the time

Shame, because it seems like a pretty funny book. Maybe I’ll read the analog version one day.
