Vassakov Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Nice to see acknowledgement of our existance. And by Abnett himself - this should be a treat, as I'm currently reading Titanicus. Shame Doctor Who ruined it for me on Xmas. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156021-prospero-burns/#findComment-1823205 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venter_Of_Russ Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Sweet mother of Russ, Abnett's writing it! I had heard that this was next in line, but I was concerned, as alot of the HH novels have spotty writing. But having just finished the 7th book of the Gaunt's Ghosts series, Abnett is one of my personal gods.

TeamLando Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Aw crap, you guys didn't know? I've known the name for like two weeks now, and the fact the Abnett's writing it since like.. early november. You don't have his blog in your bookmarks?

TeamLando Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Yeah, exactly, I've known t for quite some time. Made my (every) day, it has ;) Abnett's the best Black Library's got, and he alos said it'll be his fattest HH-book yet. it'll probably own everything he has written so far (except, maybe, for the fantastic Eisenhorn) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156021-prospero-burns/#findComment-1824473 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 i just like the fact the abnett is awesome at making human characters out of the warriors of the Imperium...maybe the Wolves might get a slightly better view than "drunken space viking on pcp". wolf lord kieran Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156021-prospero-burns/#findComment-1824666 Share on other sites More sharing options...

muzzyman1981 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Well at least we GET Abnett....we could have got some new writer who didn't know a Space Marine from his hind end, let alone Space Wolves. Abnett should do quite well but I do hope he doesn't "humanize" the Wolves too much, they do take pride in being a "little" more independent and rowdy than the rest, as we all know.

Grey Mage Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Wich compared to a smurf makes us very, very human. Ever heard about the comic where they go from iniatite to company champion to dreadnaught? They think he might be tainted with chaos because he takes pride in being such an excellant fighter.... until the champion determines that his pride comes from the fact that the emperor made him such a good fighter so he could better serve the emperor.... and thus its ok.

Beef Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 i cant get too excited, as the book is a two parter, 1 us and 1 thousand sons...the 2nd part is going to be emo crap that makes the thousand sons tragic figures turned to chaos by a uncaring galaxy...rather than the arrogant psychers they were. wolf lord kieran Yeah they'll make it like its our fault and that Russ was manipulated by Horus no doubt :tu: Still, I cant wait :lol: Yeah he better not make it look like Russ was manipulated like some dumb barbarain. I dont like this new inclusion in SW fluff. It was always the EMP who told Russ to kill the 1000 sons not Horus.

muzzyman1981 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Actually there Beef, from what I understand the Emperor told Russ to go to Prospero to bring Magnus back to answer for using the warp and whatnot, and Russ brought his Wolves to basically "blockade" Prospero in case the 1K Sons got uppity about their Primarch being taken away for something they thought was unfair. It was Horus that changed the order to eliminate the 1K Sons and their Primarch, as Magnus was using "magic" to warn the Emperor of Horus' treachery, and Horus used the situation to eliminate what he saw as a problem in the 1K Sons and also to have the Wolves maybe get wiped out, or at least injured as a Chapter plus remove them further from the real action. Or am I wrong again? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156021-prospero-burns/#findComment-1826039 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 FLuff varies, The newer fluff is pretty much as you put it without the order to kill Magnus coming from the EMP. It was horus who told the SW to attack the 1000 son but (under orders from the emp) Obviously due to Horus being warmaster Russ did not doubt that Horus could have been making this up. See what I meen about making Russ look a dumb barbarian, Horus "Russ the EMP told me to tell you to go kill our bother Magnus" Russ "sure Horus, I hates him anyway cos he a big red giant with only one eye and he reads good" After Russ leaves to go kill Magnus you see Horus in his chamber rubbing his hands together and laughing like a cartoon villain "HA HA HAi knew that dumb Barbarian Russ would believe me" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156021-prospero-burns/#findComment-1826135 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vassakov Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I don't know, it is Abnett. I don't think we can assume that because Russ believed Horus it makes him a dumb barbarian. Remember, the sacking of Prospero took place before Istvaan so noone knew Horus had fallen. Magnus on the other hand was already distrusted and Russ was probably looking for an excuse. Horus gave him one. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156021-prospero-burns/#findComment-1826179 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Yeah.... alot of it will be in how its done. After all if they have vidcoms and can just call up the emperor and go "hey, you sure about this sir?" thats one thing. If its more like most imperial communications sent via astropath for instance then itd be alot harder to confirm or deny it.

muzzyman1981 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Well Russ was probibly of the mind that "Horus says the Emperor says" so that was good enough for him, add to the fact Russ and the Wolves distrust Magnus already due to his past and "present" dabbling in the arts that their father told them was bad.....I doubt he would even cared much. Abnett is a damn good writer though, I just hope that since it is focused on the Wolves in this book that the Wolves aren't just made out to be ale swilling barbarians only interested in drinking and killing.

Aenar Deathclaws Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Hi Guys Don't know if you have seen this. Here is the cover of Prospero Burns. Awesome as usual. I just regret Freki and Geri who look like lions instead of wolves for me. Enjoy http://www.blacklibrary.com/images/blog/Prospero%20Burns.jpg PS: At least, people who want to convert Leman have now a real good illustration.
