Fulgrim Novella?

Recommended Posts

Graham McNeil throws in a tantalizing mention right at the end Linky, along with the news he's finished Outcast Dead. Suspect it will be another limited edition job though :cuss

 

I really wish they'd just announce these properly, as the confusion is everywhere.

 

Primarch novellas:

 

Aurelian is a limited edition novella about Lorgar.

 

The Primarchs (or whatever they call it) will be an anthology next year (a la Tales of Heresy and Age of Darkness) featuring 4 novellas about primarchs that haven't had much facetime yet. I think it's Fulgrim (Graham), Alpharius (Rob Sanders), Ferrus Manus (Nick Kyme) and the Lion (Gav Thorpe).

i would rather see the Khan, Night Haunter, Russ (his appearances in a Thousand Sons and mentions in Prospero Burns leave alot to be desired) and Vulkan.

 

and alot less of this "limited edition" bull:cuss. its frustrating that i cant throw money at a company because they overcharge for a novella and then barely release the damn thing.

I think A D-B meant characters that have already been introduced but have been relegated either to supporting roles or to one-off appearances. Black Library probably intends to introduce new Primarchs with big books showcasing them prominently, like The First Heretic did for Lorgar, or A Thousand Sons did for Magnus.

I'm sure they'll show up at some point.

 

Hypocrite.

I'm really curious about the Alpharius novella. Too much exposure could really ruin the mystique of him.... Or it could go someway towards illuminating the loyalties of the Alpha Legion.....

 

I don't know though... the mysterious nature and inscrutability of the Alpha Legion is a major part of their charm, delving into them from an insider standpoint could backfire horribly.

 

I also wonder which Fulgrim we will get. Daemon Fulgrim or actual Fulgrim? Daemon Fulgrim hasn't been explored at all really, while actual Fulgrim is pretty fleshed out at this point.

 

Lastly, I would like to ask for more Corax! I'm really happy the Horus Heresy is getting around to doing more with the Raven Guard, and I hope Gav integrates elements of the Raven Guard from Mcneil's Ultramarines books. I thought he represented them and their stealthy nature extremely well.

Well Corax is going to get his own novel soon (as we saw from the cover on BL a while back) so that's one reason for you. I think we'll all get something interesting eventually... I'd rather they have a great plan and sequence of events and have to wait for my favourite primarch (and probably find some new favourites along the way) than get 50 stories about everything in quick succession and no logic in it. I think they are going about it in the right way. One thing I am still missing a little bit is a "good" primarch really doing some "good". We've all seen the greying of the traitor primarchs and the sometimes completely legitimate reasons for their fall and a great deal of dirt falling on the good guys... what we're missing are some great heroics (along the lines of Horus at the ennd of the first novel) by those guys that remain loyal. Dorn, Guilliman, Sanguinius... dunno... i know its coming but still... :-) Battle of Calth should do it :-)
At the end of the day the HH authors are aware of our thoughts - Aaron is here regularly so he is bound to mention bits and bobs about what the populace thinks when he is within the BL team meetings. The HH team work to a far greater projection as they probably know what is coming out up to 2015 (if not beyond), whereas we can only speculate and hope.
I also wonder which Fulgrim we will get. Daemon Fulgrim or actual Fulgrim? Daemon Fulgrim hasn't been explored at all really, while actual Fulgrim is pretty fleshed out at this point.

 

it seems there will be some of Daemon Fulgrim in Aurelian http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...t&p=2791051 though likely from Lorgars perspective

Hey

 

Sounds interesting - those are four Primarchs that I will look forward to reading about. As for the authors slated to write about them, I think Graham will do nicely for Fulgrim, but I don't think I have ready anything by Sanders or Kyme yet (save for a single short story called Hell Night (I think).

 

That Gav Thorpe is doing the Lion is - IMO - catastrophic. He f***** up "Purging of Kadillus" and showed only mediocre skill in "Call of the Lion" story. His "Path of Warrior" (an Eldar book) was really good, and he captured the atmosphere very well - but the man simply cannot write about Astartes, even if his life depended on it... Shame really, as I am an avid fan of the Dark Angels.

Master Ciaphas
