Darkchild130 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 That starts well! I cant seem to find any more info on this on BL website tho... Darkchild Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226250-hh-novella/#findComment-2708986 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulse Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Loving the start of this. A D-B is the master of writing Primarch/Astartes/Space Marines (whatevz) - he captures them brilliantly. I have to say i very much like the way A D-B depicted Alpharius and Angron, not sure about Perturabo - power cables directly into his head? Hmmm, still makes a great mental image though. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226250-hh-novella/#findComment-2709068 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Uriah Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Fantastic! Another excellent AD-B cliffhanger, courtesy of the Black Library! When is this coming out? I'm not having any luck finding it on BL, either. Is it from Age of Darkness?

Artein Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 No idea. I just hope it's not brilliantly executed April's Fool joke.... edit: nope, it's not from Age of Darkness, it'll be a limited edition novella Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226250-hh-novella/#findComment-2709086 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verrix Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 ...that was awesome. An awesome cliff hanger. Though, doesn't Horus also know that Fulgrim is possessed by a daemon? Either way, can't wait to read the rest. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226250-hh-novella/#findComment-2709104 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memnoch Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Theres something about it not quite right I cant put my finger on.......wheres all the normal stuff like contact details and other info thats on every other BL extract? (Have a look at the Age of Darkness and Blood Reaver Extracts for a comparison) And wasnt aware that Istvann V happened the same time as Prospero being attacked by the Space Wolves.

Artein Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 And wasnt aware that Istvann V happened the same time as Prospero being attacked by the Space Wolves. More or less.... at the same time as Istvann III or V? In Galaxy in Flames or Fulgrim (don't remember right now) there was a bit after the battle that there was incoming message from Magnus to Horus.... or something like that.

Kamehameha! Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Tantalising is the word for it all right! (Nice alliteration by the way!) My favourite phrase in the whole thing: 'Curze's chuckle was a vulture's caw'. I love the NL, and the few appearances of them in TFH and this excerpt have been awesome. Great stuff!

Kudos My favourite bits... "Alpharius, almost a head shorter than his brothers, stood scaled in crocodilian resplendence, his reptile-skin armour plating glinting in the false light of his manifestation. His salute was the sign of the Aquila, the Emperor’s own symbol, made with both hands across his breastplate." Great touch..... "Lorgar slowly, slowly reached for the ornate crozius mace on his back. As he drew the weapon in the company of his closest kin, his eyes remained locked on one of them, and all physically present felt the deepening chill of psychic frost riming along their armour. The Word Bearer’s voice left his lips in an awed, vicious whisper. ‘You. You are not Fulgrim.’" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226250-hh-novella/#findComment-2709628 Share on other sites More sharing options...
