Xenomrph posted:I want a Trazyn book (or short story anthology) that’s just him and his servants committing increasingly elaborate and insane heists to steal random poo poo.  Especially if he tries to steal the Emperor. Honestly I want to see Trazyn and Erebus face off somehow. Only Trazyn is annoying enough to give Erebus what he deserves. Or maybe a Trazyn/Cawl team up against Erebus. Basically I just want to see Erebus get clowned on for a whole book.

Sadly with the chaos guys they lose effectiveness (and narrative interest) as they go deeper into it I mean Mortarion just kind of sits in his castle and mopes

Abbadon is just a lovely liberal His problem with Imperium is who is running it, not that it is all hosed up It's his turn

I really, really, want to read about someone calling Kharn a pussy for still not killing Erebus, after what he did to Argel Tal.

Erebus chickened out of that fight and fled, it wasn't for lack of trying on Kharn's part. And any idiot who'd say that about Kharn would very quickly wish they could teleport away like Erebus did. I like to imagine Erebus makes sure he's on the opposite end of the Warp from wherever Kharn currently is.

I wouldn't mind an Erebus novella where it's revealed he knows he's a pawn but is having such a good time with his schemes and betrayals that he doesn't mind.

Abbadon stared into the astronomicon for who knows how long and is likely now an agent of the throne, except the throne barely has anything to do with the Imperium anymore except as a symbol. What that's actually going to mean is why we're all waiting for Black Legion 3.

I thought the astronomican subplot was Dark Angel dude v. Death Guard dude? And something about a demon in the hollow mountain.

ADB's black legion series finds Abaddon (circa sometime before the 1st black crusade, but post-scouring) hanging out alone doing wacky science, studying philosophy, and staring at a weird warp effect that causes the astronomicon to be visible to the naked eye for so long his eyes glow gold. Also he behaves nothing like the guy any of his old comrades knew for a long while until he "Gets his groove back".

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:Abaddon is a great character as developed because he really shows the limits of chaos, its self-defeating nature and the kind of person it attracts. The one thing he could do that would defeat the imperium is the one thing he can never, by definition, do: unite the chaos powers behind him. They won’t ever let him accomplish his goal because then they have no leverage over him, and he won’t ever give in to them because then he’d never accomplish his goal. He’s a guy running on an endless treadmill chasing a carrot, and by this point he must know it, but he’s too stubborn to change course. He has forgotten how to be anything other than what he is. just want to magnify this. because

I started reading the Novis Nobiliae one instead on a whim and I like this tough ol' mum character. Also re Abaddon - yep - Chaos loves it's treadmills and doesn't like when things finish. Just ask ya boy Fabius. I always sorta thought his philosophy sorta hewed close to Anarchy. It's not that he knows what good is, it's that he knows the imperium is bad. His moral imperative is to destroy the bad thing.. that's all.

that's actually why they love erebus so much. he's always enacting their will, but he's also a gently caress up so nothing really happens. that's funny enough to the Gods that they just give amazing plot armour.

Erebus sees someone use completely chaos-free magic right in front of him to kill 4 greater daemons and says "nah, I'm still pretty sure my way is the only way."

I've been screaming in this thread for a while now that everybody needs to read Rites of Passage so I am really glad to see more people got around to it. If you liked the Trazyn vs Orikan grouchy old man dialog in Infinite and The Divine you will also very much enjoy Rites of Passage in which Mike Brooks combined all four golden girls and put her in charge of a navigator house.

The Infinite and the Divine is one of my favorite 40K books and I thought Rites of Passage was mediocre  And it isn't that Mike Brooks can't do humor because his Orks books are hilarious. Rites certainly isn't a bad book, it just didn't stand out as anything special to me, kind of like the Huron Blackheart book I guess.

Trazyn and Cawl buddy comedy. Trazyn shows up in the 42nd Millennium to collect Cawl again (since he only let him go the first time so he could see what the Primarus project would look like and said he’d be back in a few hundred years) and Cawl convinces him to do a team up heist together instead to steal something Cawl wants to study. Meanwhile Cawl has to keep distracting Imperials who want to bring him to account so they don’t catch him working with a xenos Fall of Acadia laid the groundwork for it. Make it happen (Trazyn picking apart Cawl’s custom gear for unique pieces while Cawl is trying to get him to stop while on the comm with Creed was a great bit. “Oops, I lost it”)

I desperately want someone to write a 40K version of It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad Galaxy where Trazyn, Cawl, some Red Corsair pirates, an entire ship full of Loota Boyz and anyone else interested take off on a galaxy-wide treasure hunt.

It was really nice to a see a 40K story that's essentially about a really committed parent. Navigator politics and general weirdness was fun, but that was one ride-or-die mom.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/02/18/sunday-preview-the-dark-angels-prepare-to-mobilise/ Do you want some books? Of course ya do! After a slow couple of weeks, things are picking up again with some pre-orders of... Space Marine books. Oh well. v  vFirst up there's Lazarus: Enmity’s Edge by Gary Kloster. First in what I assume is going to be a series dedicated to Primaris Lieutenant models.  Available in the usual first release versions. Then Cypher: Lord of the Fallen by John French is getting a paperback release.  And because GW can't let things go, The End Times: Doom of the Old World collects a bunch of stories from the the end of Warhammer Fantasy event.  The anthology features The Curse of Khaine by Gav Thorpe, The Rise of the Horned Rat by Guy Haley, The Lord of the End Times by Josh Reynolds, and two short stories, The Siege of Naggarond by Sarah Cawkwell and Bride of Khaine by Graeme Lyon into one paperback book. If you simply can't get enough of Dark Angels, then audiobook version The Purging of Kadillus by Gav Thorpe also goes up for pre-order.  Not that I'd ever want to read or listen anything Gav has done, but that's just me. Lastly, there will be another batch of Print On Demand Ciaphas Cain books.  quote:These Print on Demand books will be available to order from Saturday until the 3rd of March, and delivery may take up to 180 days.

I'd read the book that explains why Dorn is so pissy, but I'd completely forgotten what it was all about so this was kinda hilarious for me, too. Turns out Sigsimund was right though. He did a LOT more for the Imperium by defying daddy's orders and coming home for future glory in the long run. Being unleashed as a champion-seeking, officer hunting murder machine and waffle stomping anyone who threatened the pilgrims probably did a lot more good than dying on a ship in the early stages Although now I say that... I can't remember much about that book... wasn't the Fist fleet about to actually beat Perturabo in the void before being called home?

The Purging of Kadillus by Gav Thorpe I must have read that one, I read all the Space Marine Battles books, but I have not the faintest recollection of that one, even after reading the book blurb on Amazon to remind myself. That's probably not a good sign.

If I remember right, Pollux had to choose between destroying Perturabo's flagship (while Perturabo was in it), or following Dorn's orders and returning to the Terran muster.
