Since the topic of radicals came up in this thread I'll ask it here as well: if radical inquisitors in Ordo Malleus use Daemonhosts, and radicals in Ordo Xenos use Jokaero and even Orks, what do the radicals of Ordo Hereticus use?

Baron Bifford posted:Games Workshop is doing the Horus Heresy now, but are there plans in the future to do the collapse of the Imperium in the 42nd millenium? I wouldn't hold my breath, it's been 999.9 for the past decade or so. Sometimes they even go backwards, the latest fantasy codex, Empire, acts like the Storm of Chaos is about to happen.

Affi posted:So are there are Space Marines around that were alive during the Horus Heresy (and before?) Do they still buy the whole "The Emperor is a God!" spiel or do they remember how things were? Plenty of Chaos Space Marines remember him being less than that, but I think one of the only loyal Marines still around is Bjorn, and he only talks every century or so.

Degenerate Star posted:That's because they'd just held the Councill of Nikea, in which it was determined that warp-based sorcery was bad, but Imperial-owned psykers were okay. Magnus grudgingly complied, even though warp sorcery was kind of his thing. Then, heyo, just when thing were getting crazy, Dad gets a message from him using the same method they'd just all agreed was BAD. Dad's anger issues meant that Magnus got a face full of Russ instead of a thank-you note. There was also the whole sundering of Terra's Webway Gate that got his pop good and pissed.

rocket_Magnet posted:You sure about that? I reread a thousand sons again recently and while my memory is pretty awful, I remember Magnus tries to reach Horus first while he is in the temple at davin being first seduced. Only a week or a handful of weeks go by before he reaches for the emperor... Ambiguatron posted:I'm pretty sure the chronology is: You are both exactly right, that is the correct chronology as presented in False Gods, A Thousand Sons, and all previous sources. What I was talking was in The Outcast Dead, they have the reaction to the Dropsite Massacre, and then Magnus arrives on Terra. Hence my saying it was a screwup. Like I said earlier in the thread, having Magnus' act not only be misguided but also a useless waste could have added to the tragedy of the Thousand Son's fall, but the fact they contradicted themselves so badly in the process is just stupid.

MisterFuzzles posted:23rd Horus Heresy book being written by ADB. Hes got the opening quote and prologue on his site. Angron and Lorgar going about wrecking some Ultramarines that weren't on Calth for the slaughter. I believe Kharn is going to be the main character. I hate to dash your hopes, but I'm pretty sure those marines are from the Alpha Legion.

I don't know who John French is, but considering they just put this out with zero marketing and are trying to get ebook buys this early I don't have a good feeling about this. I hope I'm wrong, Ahriman's story is one of the best of the chaos characters.

Lucky you. Alright here's the chronology as it should be: 1) Horus is Warmaster and loyal. 2) Horus becomes a traitor despite Magnus' attempted intercession. 3) Magnus immediately goes off to earth to warn the Emperor with disastrous effects for them both. 4) Horus does the Istvaan betrayal. 5) The Wolves are sent to Prospero to take Magnus alive but this is changed by Horus who says to kill them all. 6) Word of the treachery is passed to Dorn who arranges for a counter attack. 7) Dropsite Massacre. What Outcast Dead does is have Magnus arrive on Terra after the drop site massacre. Yeah, it's as stupid as it sounds.

So I just finished Gotrek & Felix: Curse of the Everliving, and honestly I feel like I was sold a bill of goods. It's no spoiler to tell you that neither Zacharias nor any Vampires show up. It's some chaos entity body-snatcher.

Nephilm posted:By way of analogy, it's as if we were discussing on whether Daemons eat, and someone brought up how they read in a book that kroot eat meat. Sure, it's talking about eating, but otherwise completely unrelated. Speaking of eating, ADB has also had both the Night Haunter and Angron commit cannibalism.

Just finished 'The Greater Good.' Pretty good, but it doesn't explore the central premise as much as I would have liked. It does all come together nicely on the last page though. The only big criticism I have is that the footnotes tend to repeat themselves over and over. Here's to hoping the next trilogy's the best one yet.

VanSandman posted:'When Magnus tried to warn the Big E' is one of those continuity snarls that the authors never seemed to get quite right.... It's obnoxious, sure, but try not to worry too much about it. It was quite clear from earlier sources and the first few books that Magnus tried to prevent Horus from falling while the Warmaster was undergoing treatment, then went promptly to Terra when that failed. One big bust of a book forgetting that doesn't change what happened.

Fried Chicken posted:http://aarondembskibowden.wordpress.com/2012/12/05/hydras-and-wolves/ <- good article about his general take on writing sides and balancing events and action. I'm still trying to guess which is his least favorite chapter. I'm guessing Dark Angels. The way Lorgar calls out Magnus makes me think it's Thousand Sons, but I'm biased. Could just as easily be the completely ignored White Scars.

The best we can hope for is that there's a Malcador POV in it since we didn't into his head The Sigillite. I'm sure it will be great in any event, but yeah.

lenoon posted:Picked up the Vampire Wars collection from a second hand bookshop the other day - is it any good? I know we don't discuss the fantasy books here much, but I've heard fairly mixed reviews and at that length (even if it's as easy to read as the other BL stuff), I don't want to waste time on it if it's really lovely. It's fine. The first book and especially the accompanying short story are the highlights Vampies vs Chaos finally!. The third wastes too much time on side plots that go nowhere, but if you're a fan of the Counts it's pretty good stuff.

Impaired Casing posted:The only other thing to affect the storyline of the Horus Heresy is a pretty big spoiler, so don't read this if you plan to read the book. Vulkan's trait he inherited from his father is the Big E's immortality. Vulcan is a perpetual. Can't be killed. Kurze burns him, drowns him, freezes him, fries him, stabs him, crushes him, etc, and he just gets right back up. At the end of the book, Grammaticus is sent out to kill Vulkan, using a spear wielded by the Emperor himself, which I suppose can kill immortals... For some reason. Either way, they tell him to do this so Vulkan cannot fulfill his destiny and become a Gate Keeper. This is all on the last pages of the book, so nothing is really explained. Hmm, that seems to confirm the old theory that if the Emperor was allowed off life support he would resurrect back to normal.

Is the Emperor sending Russ to take Magnus in and then Horus nefariously telling him to just kill 'em all still a thing? I remember it being vaguely alluded to in Thousand Sons but no mention in Prospero Burns.
