He's been writing the sequel to Double Eagle.

It's one book, but it's already sprawled out into four volumes :unsmigghh:

He's implied hes returned to an old series that's been a palate cleanser after EOTD.

It's speculation that it's either the Double Eagle sequel he's been talking about writing for a decade plus, or another GG novel. Could be another Ghost Dossier, which don't have any huge series baggage and the previous one was a way to return to old characters without the weight of continuity and advancing the plot.

For some unfathomable reason, now I lust for a Doomrider novel written by Mike Brooks, please GW, make it so.

Just finished End & Death 3.

Verdict: nice

I really enjoyed the part where Horus crushes the Emperor's head with Worldbreaker while mortally wounded and the aftermath is described like the Emperor got his head blown off by a tank's main gun.

I was also hoping for a callback to the Eisenhorn books, since in Hereticus there is a big fight scene with a traitor Warlord titan named Cruor Vult that sends Elizabeth Bequin into a coma IIRC and it is mentioned that the titan was present at the siege of Terra but alas, it was not to be.

He was canonically defeated in some Z-tier audio drama, though I don't think it was a permakill.

But much more importantly, nothing that would do justice to the memes could possibly ever get past GW's editors.

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.

Moving on to soul hunter instead!

Speaking of Mike Brooks, I’d listened to like 6 hours of this months ago, forgot all of it in the intervening time (this is a big problem for me if I take long breaks while listening to an audiobook, this isn’t the book’s fault) and restarted it today. It IS a funny book!

IIRC he got taken down by the White Scars (after several tries, mind) and his still-living head is on a spike outside their fortress monastery.

I’m sure that won’t be a problem, it’s not as if it’s if his patreon’s chosen Daemon Primarch and legion have had beef with the Khan and the White Scars since the heresy (technically earlier, even given they were poo poo-talking on Ulllanor) are becoming more active and likely getting their own codex this edition.

Yeah, he's a daemon prince, life and death are relative concepts for such beings. Also, the Red Corsairs have attacked and ravaged Chogoris recently in the lore, that would be a good opportunity to bring good ol' Doomrider back.

I feel like every Chaos Titan (and nigh every chaos marine, for that matter) claims to have been at the Siege of Terra even if they just turned heretic in some forgotten rebellion in M36

Maybe people only thought Cruor Vult's feral mechanical screeching was about facing down Legio Ignatum in front of the Ultimate Wall, when in fact it was complaining that its Forge World got excommunicated due to an obscure doctrinal dispute and had to join Chaos by default

i like the idea that lots of chaos clowns steal valor for being at terra because it was such a horror show message and chaos is so hosed up and nuts, who is gonna try to prove it. most actual vets of terra are like deamons now or gibbering psychos or so high up the ladder no one cares. So like Jocius Baby Smasher of the orbit fornicators warband can say he personally pissed on the walls of dorn and dorn saw this and cried and poo poo himself, is anyone really gonna quastion him.

There's a great bit in Harrowmaster where they talk about how most of the Alpha Legion are basically the same age as Loyalist marines, since the majority of the Legion exist outside the Eye of Terror. There's also a mention of a small warband that claims to be Heresy-era but were trapped in a warp storm for 10,000 years. When they're given an invite for a meeting, they basically reply with "lol, get hosed"

I'm pretty sure the warband they name is the one from Shroud of Night but I need to reread to confirm.

it's not really comparable since basically every chaos marine who is still alive from that era would ahve been involved in the final battle on terra at some point though, and an awful lot survived.
