sponsra Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Maybe been there for a while, but the actual bookcover is up at black library now. Only Horus and Fulgrim are on the cover. http://www.blacklibrary.com/all-products/the-primarchs.html As it turns ot, Horus is wearing the fur of a badger he slayed eating out of the trash outside the Emperors palace.

Eerie Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 They could at least have cropped it so that not half of Dorn's head is still visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinks Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 They could at least have cropped it so that not half of Dorn's head is still visible. I couldn't agree more, that is a poor mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc warhammer Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I find that a lot of the BL book covers fail in the design aspect. Â They tend to work as full spread artworks, but when they're wrapped around, they look underwhelming or messy or just...not like a book cover. More like if I'd wrapped a Christmas present in a 40k poster. Â The only book cover so far, that I think works from a design perspective, is Legion. Maybe Prospero Burns and Thousand Sons.

Greyall Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 They're meant to function as posters. That said, I don't see it as a bad thing, necessarily, it's actually amusing to find two primarchs fighting on the same image, like in the Fulgrim cover - even if Ferrus is pretty badly designed, in that cover. Â In that sense [of hidden goodies], the cover for Primarchs is especially good. I mean, it's not easy to fit multiple characters in such a tight (and vertical) space as a BL novel cover.

Aqatone Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 The Heresy book covers are always a complete mess in my opinion. As mentioned above, the only good one so far has been Legion. It's a book about the Alpha Legion with the Geno neatly lining the path either side. Just like the section written in the book. Bam, spot on. I can look at the book cover and go yeah, that's it, right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legionator Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Khan is awesome. Magnus, Lorgar, Mortarion and Fulgrim looks normal. Angron seems like an abomination. We know his violent nature but it is never been said that he is highly mutated. Sanguinius looks like a blonde version of Fulgrim, he should have been more "angelic". Horus is extremely ugly, it is hard to say he is one the most charismatic primarchs. Rogal Dorn should look like more noble, wise and stern.

karden00 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Can anyone recall any Sanguinius/Fulgrim interaction? I cant quite recall if they were ever written together. It would make for a very compelling interaction I feel, one being ever striving for perfection, the other having aways been kinda perfect already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
