IhateSpaceMarines Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Greetings to all astartes. I've been keeping myself up to date with the HH books and was curious to know if there is any mention of a Night Lords HH in the making ? I may perhaps have bias in saying their Pre-Heresy up till Post -Heresy would definately has lots of stuff going on down at their end, the obvious escalation of their exile all the way up till the death of the Night Haunter. And on top of that his uniqueness of being insane woudl definately give an interesting scope if we saw the dualities of his alter ego etc. Anyone else have similar thoughts on the matter ? P.S. I have read the Lord of the Night and I do realise there are a few, to the Pre-heresy stuff.

Dyp100 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 He could also see the future, so I agree it would be intresting, would love to see a book about a Primarch in there teenage years and his story would be great for it! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167655-night-lords-hh-book/#findComment-1976852 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sons of Lion Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 i was just wondering about this myself, night lords seem to be forgotten for the moment. what about the iron warriors as well?

Tyrannicide Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Well it's just a matter of having some patience for the BL to release all the Horus-Heresy books. If I recall correctly, they did say that every Space Marine Legion would have a book released, featuring the said Legion. I'd love to see what the authors can do with the Night Lords, but it's just a case of playing the waiting game unfortunately. :confused: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167655-night-lords-hh-book/#findComment-1977166 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Well there is The Dark King, granted it's only about 15 pages, but it's still more than the Iron Warriors have gotten although I'm unsure if that is good or bad :confused: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167655-night-lords-hh-book/#findComment-1977185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
IhateSpaceMarines Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 Meh if we have to wait another 5 years then thats going to be pretty awful :confused:. Ether way I been thinking about what they'd be like so I got a couple of ideas that would be interesting in seeing in a NL HH. 1. Perhaps write some parts of the book in the views of the planet that is under siege by the night lords, would be great to see how they create fear in the eyes of the unfortunate victims, also would be a great read if you think about the sudden and surpise nature of their tactics, perhaps an opening to the novel ? 2. The Night Haunter's Insanity - If the writers write a chapter or a section in each of his alteregos I recon it would be brilliant given we see the hellbent chaotic side contrasting the more dark noble side of the haunter. Also his visions and fits of madness would be brilliant to portray in a book I recon, captures the essence of the Night Lords. Like a reoccuring nightmare which ultimately becomes the reality of the end would be awesome. 3. Old NL vs. New NL. Obviously another interesting thing to include would be comparison of the newer recruits of the night haunter comprimising of rapists murderers, etc. They'd probably play a role in the legion falling apart. 4. Escalation. Basically the events with Dorn and him being locked up then fleeing the scene and orbital bombing his planet would be awesome, probably at the height of his insanity 5. Death . The assination attempt the scene there would be quite interesting to see his famous speech at the end. These are all just some of my ideas what would be interesting to see in the book(s), though I doubt the book would be thick enouh to fit in hal fof them lol so I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Razhbad Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 It's all about time after all their are 18 legions to cover. And all have various different degrees of involvement in the Heresy. Look at Salamanders & Raven Guard, their main involvement was to get beaten at Istvaan.

Sons of Horus Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I highly doubt they will cover all 18 legions. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167655-night-lords-hh-book/#findComment-1980164 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plague Angel Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I highly doubt they will cover all 18 legions. 18 certainly sounds like a lot, but then Alpha Legion is one of the ones I would have guessed would be left out, and they weren't, and they've already done 7 out of 18. 11 still sounds like a lot, but not impossible. That would mean we're about halfway through the series now.

Ju'kosian Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I highly doubt they will cover all 18 legions. Things will depend on the popularity of certain stories and legions.. And the focus is on Horus (after all it's the Horus heresy) so It's kinda logic that the Lunawolves/sons of horus are covered more..

malika666 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Love to see some book involving Zso Sahaal, or perhaps some sort of "conflict" (not civil war or anything like that) between the old Night Lords and the newer ones (rapists/murders/etc), maybe Curze's original recruits weren't criminals, but that he only started to recruit them later on.

BauerPower Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 In response to people saying 18 legions is a lot and theres not a great deal of fluff, INDEX ASTARTES ARTICLES, heres an extract from the Night Lords for example During a meeting of the Primarchs, Konrad Curze confided in Fulgrim, Primarch of the Emperor's Children, of the visions he had of the Emperor killing him and that the Legions would endlessly battle each other. Fulgrim, in turn, informed his brother Rogal Dorn of these visions. Dorn then confronted Curze, where Curze mercilessly beat him when the conversation inevitably turned to blows. Upon this event, the other Primarchs met amongst themselves to determine Curze's fate, as well as that of his Legion Now that could be an interesting part of a story. Another way to do all 18 would be as with "Descent of Angels" write about the pre-Imperium and the first actions the legions made under their Primarches (i.e Iron Warriors and the Black Judges) This is all just an IMO post but what do you think??

As for Iron Warriors, who cares about Black Judges, Battle of the Iron Cage all the way. I just hope they don't write it from the Imperial Fist perspective.

Brother Nihm Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 i was just wondering about this myself, night lords seem to be forgotten for the moment.Really? you haven't seen the bit about the new NL series coming in 2010 then? As for a NL HH book, Even with the newer retcon the Night Lords weren't directly involved in The Heresy in the way that say, the World Eaters were. Horus sent them to the Eastern Fringes to delay DA reinforcements so they weren't actively attacking Terra. However, an expansion on The Dark King that fleshes out the events leading up to the destruction of Nostramo, including the scenes in Fulgrim and The Dark King, finally ending after the genocide at Heroldar and Thramas - perhaps even ending with Konrad's death sequence - now that would rock.

Zopha Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 There's still plenty to be written about in the HH series for most of the chapters. Salamanders; Last we hear of Vulkan he's sitting in the middle of nuke going off Raven Guard; The story of Corax going crazy after Istvaan, the mutants he created in his marine creation project. Blood Angels; Sanguinius kicking ass at the gates of the palace and death by Horus. We still have to get a book on Lorgar and the Word Bearers as he was seemingly the first to turn to chaos. We'll get a a book or two on all the Legions in time, the HH isn't just during the war and horus turning and his death, it's what happened during the buildup to it, Primarchs turning against the Emperor. It's what happened when Horus attacked the palace, it's what happened after Horus was defeated, the traitors retreating and the Loyalists rebuilding what's left. The Night lords didn't head straight off to the Eye of Terror after everything happened, they took their time so Conrad could get himself assassinated. I think we'll get a Night Lords book but it might be sometime.

Brother Nihm Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I think we'll get a Night Lords book but it might be sometime.While not a HH novel, the new series may or may not touch upon events from that time. I'm hoping that they will, akin to Lord of the Night.
