After Desh'ea - Matt Farrer = World Eaters I can tell you more but I don't want to spoil it for everyone and I don't know how to hide the text. I hope that is Useful info Cheers AB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
son of nocturne Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 That sounds pretty awesome, but more importantly... WHERE DID YOU GET IT!!!!!! :D So you rate the book quite highly then A_B? S.O.N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels_Blade Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 As a stand alone i love it. It reads well and has a few little gems in it. However, it doesn't deal with any astartes vs astartes insted it broadens the insight into how certain legions operate and how they approached the task of pacification of planets during the crusade. The Last Church is easily the strongest of the stories and i doesn't explain as much as tear apart the foundations of the Imperium in the 41st millenium!! I believe it is due for release in April but you may see it earlier in some stores (I don't work for GW so I'm not sure) If there is anything else you want to know just ask Cheers AB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Fellblade Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 The Last Church sounds very Emperor instating the Imperial Truth, really looking forward to more HH action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrus Manus Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 The Last Church - McNeill = Not willing to tell you as it is so awesome! Now you have me interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacific81 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Ahh.. I'm really looking forward to this one! Hopefully it will really add some depth to legions which have so far been passed in favour of others. As for The Last Church.. by the Emperor that story was written bloody ages ago, why cant they just print it already? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigger-than-Jesus Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Sounds good, at least give a hint on which legion/organisation it's about. And how did you get the book?(if it's from someone who shouldn't have given it to you, that's fair enough, but otherwise please tell). And where does it place out of the HH books?

brother Hastatus Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Sounds very good! And 'The last church' sounds very interesting.... Are you sure you wouldn't tell us what is involved in it, even by PM if you don't want to give it away to everyone? I can't wait till April!

Pacific81 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 All I know is that it concerns Cardinal Ting, and the final unification of Terra under the Emperor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels_Blade Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 All I know is that it concerns Cardinal Ting, and the final unification of Terra under the Emperor I'm afraid your wrong, It concerns the last church on Terra at the end of the unification wars prior to the creation of the primarchs. It features the unification soldiers and no astartes. does it place out of the HH books?

It follows the 34th company Captain Sor Talgron as his forces attempt to bring a world to compliance and features Erebus, Lorgar and Kor Pharon The Voice - James Swallow = is set just after the Garro incident on Mars and follows the Sisters as they search for a missing Black Ship. No well known characters Call of the Lion - Gav Thorpe = Is set straight after Decent of Angels and follows Chapter Master Astellen as he brings a world to compliance and struggles to work with Calibanite Dark Angels. No well known characters The Last Church - McNeill = Already outlined above. After Desh'ea - Matt Farrer = Set just after Angron has been taken by the Emperor.

Abaddon127 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Thanks for the heads up. I CANNOT WAIT to read about the Custodes, the Wolves, the Angels, and the World Eaters. Sounds like a winner to me. I truly hope that the next few months go by quickly so that the book comes out relatively soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Kase Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Thanks for this tid bit - though I'm a little suprised that they didn't reprint The Dark King & The Lightning Tower in there. Or the Graham McNeill story from the HH Art compendium. I'm hoping we get the James Swallow that wrote the Eisenstein, and not the one that wrote the Blood Angel novels ;P Also glad to see Gav hopefully taking over the DAs (his Malekith book is pretty awesome so far - he's come a long way since his early novels). Nevermind, looks like Lee is taking the next DA novel. Can't wait to get a glimpse of the pre-astartes era :D Wonder if they'll let Sandy Mitchell do a story one of these days - maybe let him take the Raven Guard ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
