Captain Semper Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I am looking forwards to a Dorn & Sons dedicated HH novel, for sure. And then another one [or two] for The Scouring series :devil: The scouring series yeay!!!! This (if it ever comes to fruition) would be super awesome!!! This period is what shaped the Imperium and there is so little known about it! As HH is about adding depth to Traitor Legions (OK it's more than that) the Scouring would be about adding depth to the Loyalist Legions and their painful process of transformation to Chapters! I sure wish they go ahead with it! I don't think the IFs will get their own book. Just be the loyalist perspective in a novel predominantly about the traitors. Oh, c'mon everybody deserves a book, even IFs. :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244119-betrayer/page/3/#findComment-2954263 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legatus Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Interesting that Legatus, for example, isn't frustrated that UM went from a third founding Chapter into the Space Marine Legion and Chapter that holds sway over 40K and all other Primarchs and Chapters live on in Roboute & Son's shadow. But that in itself was a retcon of the highest order. Well, getting into the hobby during 2nd Edition helped with that. Then there is the fact that 40K as we know it basically was established in 2nd Edition, while Rogue Trader was more of a wild and untamed beast. But the Ultramarines had already been put into that position during the course of Rogue Trader. In the 1989 'Space Marine Epic' Rulebook (2nd Edition of 40K was to be released four years later, in 1993) the Ultramarines are heavily featured as fighting on the loyalist side during the Heresy (where the game was set). That, curiously enough, was then retconned in 2nd Edition, where it was said that the Ultramarines had not really fought in the Heresy at all. There was a bit of "soul searching" going on during Rogue Trader days...

Khestra the Unbeheld Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Khârn fought Sigismund? I didn't know that, was it during the Siege of the Emperor's Palace? I would really love for a quote about Sigismund pwning Khârn. *Looks around hopefully at other B&Cites*.... Yeah, good luck with that. The falling piece of Imperial Palace masonry that saved Sigismund's life in that fight is probably in the reliquary of Fist of Illumination. :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244119-betrayer/page/3/#findComment-2954674 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain ChonkE Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Damned your eyes Bowden! *Shakes his fist in the air angrily* I was just about to talk on how the Khârn/Sigismund fight is a product of overzealous wishlisting back in Templar-Town and then you drop a hint which could be not a hint on something so awesome my knuckles leak blood from squeezing my fists in holy righteous berzerker zealous furious anticipation!?!?!?! Damned your eyes man! The eyes Boo, go for the EYES!!!!!

Pulse Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Damned your eyes Bowden! *Shakes his fist in the air angrily* Damned your eyes man! The eyes Boo, go for the EYES!!!!!

Jim Shady Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 The Wrath of Khârn, the author was Bill King. :P Man alive, the whole 40K IP is an absolute goldmine for hilarious puns! ;) I'm waiting for Kirk to pop up.

Midwest Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 There's a small part of me that wants this to be a graphic novel done by ADB and John Blanche, but a total parody of Marvel Comics' "Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe", wherein Khârn slaughters every combatant in the Heresy, then travels in time killing the 40k verse millennium after millennium, until at the end of days he slays Draigo after 666 years of non-stop close combat, and then on the final panel as his final killing he literally pulls the plug on the Golden Throne.

2000AD Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 My guess is that Aaron is going to write the final part of the Dark Angels HH trilogy! Would be my bet too..... the whole "Betrayer" thing = World Eater/Khorne book is all too convenient for my liking.....

StrangeGuy Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I don't think the IFs will get their own book. Just be the loyalist perspective in a novel predominantly about the traitors. Not a chance. The Fists will get THE book. The most interesting part of the siege of Terra (not including the battle between Horus and the Emperor) wasn't the invasion itself, but the defense of the Imperial Palace.

Stormbrow II Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Yeah, good luck with that. The falling piece of Imperial Palace masonry that saved Sigismund's life in that fight is probably in the reliquary of Fist of Illumination. tongue.gif Nah. Sigismund had an Iron Halo. Khârn only has that 5+ save thingy so he was battered senseless. Power Weapons with Strength bonuses for the win. Please ADB - make reference to the crappy 5+ saves. Somehow.
