chaplain belisarius Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Any infomation on these guys? Ive checked lexicanium but theres not much there...any idea on the paintscheme for them at all? thanks! :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Henry Zou has some info on them in his Bastion Wars series, The Emperor's Mercy and Flesh and Iron, but it's looking like we're gonna have to be (im)patient and wait a month for Blood Gorgon to come out to really see what a full sized element of Blood Gorgons are like. TEM only had one Gorgon, and FAI only had a four man team, so we really haven't seen what they're capable of yet, or their complete belief structure. PM me, brother, and I'll drop you what info they have so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaplain belisarius Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 nice! thanks for that...(anyone fancy posting how it would look in army painter?) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Here's the problem with that, bro. They're described as having armour of such a dark red, it appears almost black, and laquered...as in glossy. I don't think the Army Painter could do such a paint scheme justice.

Captain Juan Juarez Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I have both of Zou's novels - the second is best purely for the Major with the Ork face tattooed over his own! - but this is the first mention I've seen of the Gorgons anywhere. So the question is, are they a recent creation or just another empty shell with only a name - until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Zou made 'em for his Bastion Wars series as the bad guys (Dos Pares, 2nd book), but the book coming out next month looks to be entirely devouted to 'em. I guess we'll find out brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 So the question is, are they a recent creation or just another empty shell with only a name - until now.They are not a new creation per se. A few of them feature in Zou's first novel. More feature in the 2nd, as well as their recruitment methods (which are quite cool). His 3rd book is out and I am currently reading it. Its pretty good so far. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also :evil stare: for having a book I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Seriously, I hate you nihm...lol. And yeah, zou made 'em up. I'm not arguing, cuz they seem pretty cool so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Traben Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I just bought the Blood Gorgons book and i've started reading it. The Blood Gorgons chapter were created in the 21st founding, which was called the ''cursed founding''. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkchild130 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Only just read this book, must say after Flesh and Iron i wasn't expecting much (it was horribly disappointing after the awesome of Emperor's mercy) but I was pleasently surprised. Henry Zou writes Astartes much better than he writes Guard. I enjoyed all the characters, with Sabteh's scene's in particular impressing me. His is (I feel) the best description of a veteran astartes I've ever read, when he compares him to the younger bond brothers I was fully engrossed. plus, three words. Dancing Space Marine. I love this book. Darkchild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANCIENT FALOR Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I read the book. Highly recommend it. Much better than some of the stuff that has been released. I'm really particular about my novels.Yeah I like it. give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkchild130 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I have a related question: Do you need to read the other Bastion Wars novels before Blood Gorgons? ME Nope. :D Personally i would read Emperor's mercy, skip Flesh and Iron and read Blood Gorgons. The middle book sucks hard. Darkchild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Personally i would read Emperor's mercy, skip Flesh and Iron and read Blood Gorgons. The middle book sucks hard. Darkchild I'm shocked to hear so many people say that, actually. I really enjoyed Flesh and Iron, just as much as Emperor's Mercy. It had a real Apocalypse Now / Platoon feel to it, and it was fun to see loyalist turn to darkness, and the Imperium acting so sick and corrupt. On top of that, you get to see the unique way that Blood Gorgons deal with mortals that fight on their side. Huh. I guess it's all down to preference and taste....I liked the book though, and I'd suggest it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
