So, Aaron, how about just a smidgen of information from the latest coffee morning? Oh, we so love being teased!

 

That was after 8 hours of meetings, and not HH-related, but it's all a secret for now.

 

Many apple-ogies.

 

 

Who are the guys with their backs to the camera?

 

Gav Thorpe and Chris Wraight.

Well - my guess would be that it is related to the forth-coming "Primarchs" series/novels what-not, with Gav Thorpe cast as the writer to yet again ruin the Dark Angels... :-)

 

Still. It will be interesting to see what the meeting is really about :-)

To be fair his "Angels of Darkness" is probably the best Dark Angels book to date.

 

Hmm. Well. "Angels of Darkness" was ok-ish. The two HH Dark Angel books felt a bit out of place, but I actually quite liked the Mike Lee one. Thorpes "Purging of Kadillus" was quite, quite horrible.

 

I still have not read the novel by ADB "Savage Weapons" but I suspect that it will blow all of Gav Thorpes "works" out of the water, and set a new, and quite high, bar for what constitutes good Dark Angel fiction.

In all fairness I think that's due to him not being that great with Space Marines. The Eldar and Last Chancers books he wrote were extremely good, even if the latter are a bit old now.

Space Marines are quite hard to write, in the sense that there is a frame of reference in humanity but the association with "Human" is removed to a degree but still retains certain emotions and characteristics. Whereas with an actual Human, actually being one helps with that mindset to a degree.

 

With Xenos you can submerse yourself into an entire mindset, without having to retain a "half in/half out" mentality that a Marine might require.

Quoting this one post, but more responding to all related ones.

 

I liked Angels of Darkness and I didn't hate Purging of Kadillus.

 

I liked his portrayal of Corax in Raven's Flight, so I am holding out hope for Deliverance Lost. Do you hear me Mr. Thorpe?! Please please please do not screw up the Raven Guard! They get so little love as it is.

 

 

Also ADB: you give us these fantastic peeks into your interpretations of certain things, like Corax and the Lion, but that's it. Why must you tease us so! Or alternatively: Write more on them! :HQ:

I was tempted to run over and engage fanboy mode. Then again, things were looking rather business like.

 

i am afriad that my self control wouldnt have been so strong. i def would have asked from them to autograpg some of my books.

What stopped me was the whole "Technically, they're at work" thought. BL seems to be very regular with it's signing sessions as it is, so there's plenty of opportunities i suppose.

I notice that they had to separate Dan and Aaron using McNeill as a shield. I wonder if that was coincidental. . . :P

 

I'm not fanboy enough to understand what your referencing so could you explain?

 

They regularly hold duels with flintlock pistols in the car park of Warhammer World. It's something BL try to keep under wraps.

I live in the US, in Florida. i dont remember the last time BL had a signing session this far south. the most recent signing was in New York.

You should've. Always cool to meet a fellow B&Cer.

 

We were all a bit wrecked after 8 hours of meetings, which was why we were less than energised.

 

I'll drop a hello if i see you around there again. Wasn't sure if you were still engaged in work related larks.

 

WLK: Fair point there mate. Sorry, i was speaking as someone over the pond. There's been signings popping up regularly here. If you could ever make it over for a tournament here, BL have started booking a couple of writers for those events (Gav Thorpe, Darius Hinks and Nick Kyme were at the fantasy doubles.)

oh trust me, i am both aware and very jealous of how lucky you guys are over the pond.
