Magnus Thane Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 So CSM's have their own short stories in it? Not just SM perspective?

minigun762 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Nice, I'm quite enjoying the exploits of this rookie Warsmith, his character seems much more human and multi-dimensional then some of the other Chaos characters I've come across.

Iron-Daemon Forge Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 Yep it looking to be good & as said leading something big. Still I find this pretty funny :) *from the perview, but made spoiler in the event people do not wish to read it* ‘I am VosokDall, servant of the Skull Throne, and I have come to take your life.’ Honsou took the measure of the warrior in a heartbeat. Vosok Dall was former Astartes, Scythes of the Emperor by the crossed-scythe heraldry on his shoulder guard, but a warrior who now killed in the name of a blooddrenched god that revelled in murder and battle. He would be strong and capable, with a hunger for glory and martial honour unmatched even by those who still fought for the Imperium. ‘I thought your Chapter was dead,’ said Honsou, pushing himself to his feet. ‘Didn’t the swarm fleets turn your world into an airless rock?’ ‘You speak of events that do not concern you, maggot,’ barked Dall. ‘I am here to kill you, so ready your weapon.’ ‘You see,’ said Honsou, shaking his head. ‘That’s what you followers of the Blood God always get wrong. You always talk too much.’ Just IMO same classic as Honsou comment in Dead Sky Black Sun to Uriel of the Ultramarines I dread to think what heinous crime an Ultramarine must commit to be banished to the Eye of Terror. Did you turn left instead of right on the parade ground? Forget to say your prayers in the morning?Dead Sky Black Sun p227, Warsmith Honsou of the Iron Warriors to ex-captain Uriel Ventris of the 4th Company of Space Marines I can't wait to see what happen in Skill Harvest :) IP Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161831-skull-harvest-the-return-of-honsou-short-story/#findComment-1901445 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornelias Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 fantastic, although i'm not to keen on the scythes marine being a heretic. they have enough to deal with trying to rebuild without people turning to chaos ^_^ Honsou is one of my favorite characters from the BL books.

Dark Disciple Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 This seems like it could be interesting. Although Iron Warriors in the pub having a drink seems more than a little odd. I do like Honsous plan, just a pitty that McNeil loves the Ultras and willl never let Honsou win against Ventris. Besides which GW would never approve it :verymad: Oh well this Word Bearer can dream ^_^ Disciple Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161831-skull-harvest-the-return-of-honsou-short-story/#findComment-1901911 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Does anyone else find a Chaos Marine bar to be a strange idea? Hmm I wonder if they pick up daemonettes there "Hey there honey, now I'm no space hulk pilot but I'd like to navigate your warp rift" Seems about right. Also before this story I never knew that random marines from loyal chapters just turned to chaos. How would they get away with that anyway?

How would they get away with that anyway? the red corsairs contain renegades from various loyalist chapters, the latest codex csm has space wolves turnng renegade to join huron (something that caused a lot of clawing and biting over in the wolves forum).

Rain Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Where does it say any Space Wolves joined Huron? It just has Huron attack and capture a SW ship, presumably killing all on board. I guess the Constantinus story is like this, but that was a fairly large group that all turned together, it's the one marine turning all on his lonesome that is strange.

Iron-Daemon Forge Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Let keep this on Skull Harvest ;) As for the bar I would have though with it being the Maelstrom I though be a bit like Star War in that area with no law, etc.. Since that where all the Renegade tend to hang out?? I might be wrong, but that what I though. Seem to be a fair few placies like this in Bloodquest the comic As for Scythes of the Emperor who know ether way it was after the Nids destroyed his home world :lol:, might be he got nothing left, felt the Emperor turn his back, found his way here, as long as it cool & a story about IW that what matter for me :) :D IP Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161831-skull-harvest-the-return-of-honsou-short-story/#findComment-1902889 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastratedCow Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 He's probably referring to the 3.5 codex which showed a Space Wolf whose markings had been defiled with chaos stars and who was described as having turned traitor to join the Red Corsairs.

Rain Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 as long as it cool & a story about IW that what matter for me :) :lol: Amen to that, about time we showed the lesser legions who's boss once more :D . Too bad Graham won't let Honsou actually succeed in his quest for revenge, though maybe he could at least write another book from the IW perspective, oh well, I can dream can't I?

Ju'kosian Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 we'll see what honsou does next in the novel after "courage and honour"..

Iron-Daemon Forge Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 I have both new books Courage & Honour (deal with the Ultramarines) & Hero of the Space Marines from Conflict Scotland today. Just started Courage & Honour few min ago. While Skull Harvest read it on the bus to & from the event. It a good read & a well know Chaos Space Marine make a show, let just say (not to spoil it) he is a specil ch from 2nd ed who came back to the 5th ed codex. Still got to proerly read it but the store so far been good. Just 50 pagies. *Don't look if you want to know the spoiler From Courage & Honour, let just say Honsou little message from the short story in PlanetKill.... has been given to Urial Should get a proper read on Skull Harvest tomorrow, with it being 50 pagies should not take to long.

Prot Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I must get this! I just finished Tales of Heresy and there is some (minor) discussion of Perturabo. Why are the Iron Warriors so ignored in 4th/5th edition. This is terrible! I brought my entire Iron Warrior army out of it's dusty cardboard boxed tomb and it's enough to bring a man to tears. I hope reading the Honsou tales brings some new life into the army. As long as he isn't portrayed as a total goofball. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161831-skull-harvest-the-return-of-honsou-short-story/#findComment-1961176 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron-Daemon Forge Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 I'm half way through Courage & Honour Night Stalker: You'll have to read the book in order to find out ;) B) I might be telling a terrible truth or a filth lie.

Drac0 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I've order, "planetkill", courage and honour", and that hero novel thingie.. Can't wait till I get them lol.. Finished reading planetkill like a month ago. But personally I enjoyed Tales from the Dark millennium much more. That story of the fallen Dark angel which worships nurgle and is being hunted by the Dark angels (the Inquisition also gets involved) its just brilliant. Loved the way they described the fallen and the battles.

Rain Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Hmm must say that I am pretty ambivalent as to an Iron Warriors Horus Heresy book. Legion made me like the Alpha Legion a lot more but Fulgrim completely killed the Emperor's Children for me, and I used to want to start an army of them too :ermm: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161831-skull-harvest-the-return-of-honsou-short-story/#findComment-1964338 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons of Horus Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 yeah i agree with Rain. i wanna see an IW HH book soon B) hopefully Honsou will be in it too Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161831-skull-harvest-the-return-of-honsou-short-story/#findComment-1964827 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Honsou cannot be in it, he was created after the Heresy with the use of captured gene seed. Also I was saying I was ambivalent as to a HH Iron Warrior book, so you aren't really agreeing with me since I said I wasn't sure about the idea and you seem to be sure. That said if they do write it it will probably include Forrix and Krueger and hopefully the un-named Warsmith from SoI maybe even explaining who he was and why he got to order around the supposed First Captain :huh: . Either that or it will just be totally unrelated to McNiell's books which would also be nice since I think there is room to create more IW characters based around the whole evil paranoid genius theme, maybe have a guy experimenting with the techno virus and trying to hide it from the Imperium at large?
