Kizzdougs Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Awesome! I'm not a huge fan of the cover art but i can't wait to get my hands on the book. It will be good to get some fresh material for the IWs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Those Obliterators look awesome. Not too sure about the guy with the wings though. I can't tell if he's supposed to be an Assault Marine or what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Looks like one of those old Chaos Raptors. And the guy, next to him is using this kind of jump-pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Well I didn't want to call him a Raptor because people take such offense at Raptors being outside the Night Lords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I would say that I'd like to see him draw Periclitor and the Night Lords assassinating Chapter Master Furioso(because I think that would make a decent Battles Novel) but thanks to Forgeworld Imperial Armour Volume Nine(Curse you Alan Bligh!) Periclitor is a Word Bearer. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammonius Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Wow! Cool art indeed! And here I am, almost done with 9 obliterators and a whole new inspiration shows up <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Totally psyched about the book, it's been a while since we've seen a IW book. The art, though, I don't care for. To be honest, I haven't liked any of this specific artists' works, but to each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 AAAWWWWW YEEAAAHHH!! looking forward to this. just as i am planning an Iron Warrior restart as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Haven't read a single Space Marine battles book yet that I liked (Hunt for Voldorius being the absolute worst), here's to hoping that this will be different. Sullivan's style doesn't fit the older artwork in tone or style, it is flashier and much more 'slick'. I don't mind, it's just different. I do mind the overly busy complete artwork though. I'd love it if they just used the detail shot or link+link for the book cover. That'd be great. Also, new IW stuff, woop for IW players.

Kol Saresk Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I think the flashiness is from the fact that it's on his personal website. So it's more-or-less "Look at me! Pay me!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minigun762 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Haven't read a single Space Marine battles book yet that I liked (Hunt for Voldorius being the absolute worst), here's to hoping that this will be different. Helsreach was pretty good I thought, the rest so far have been fairly forgettable. On topic: I'm happy because its 1) about Iron Warriors and 2) doesn't feature the Imperium at all which is refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I've been avoiding the battle books, but since this is Iron Warriors I won't be able to stay away. Curse their effective marketing tactics... Also interesting: CL Werner, author of this, is apparently writing his first 40k book. Does anyone know if he's done short stories in 40k at least, like in Hammer and Bolter or summat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Colossus Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 There's Iron Inferno (Imperial Guard vs Orks) in Fear the Alien, and Black Dawn (Emperor's Warbringers) from victories of the space marines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Thanks for that. I own both those books but don't remember them very well. I'll have to reread those stories to try and get some idea of what to expect from Castellax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uprising Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 There's Iron Inferno (Imperial Guard vs Orks) in Fear the Alien, and Black Dawn (Emperor's Warbringers) from victories of the space marines. Having read both of these stories and enjoy them greatly, I believe that the Iron warriors will be well portrayed and at least be an interesting story. Also those obilts look awesome, wish the models look like them ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuclear Fridge Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Now that fits with my mental picture of an Obliterator! None of that clean-and-tidy Transformer nonsense... Armour, flesh, bone, and sinew cracking and twisting before a lascannon or heavy flamer bursts into view, dripping with oil and ichor. Even by CSM standards, these guys are a bit 'gross'...

Captain Tezdal Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I like the art, and a CSM vs Orks novel sounds pretty refreshing after so much Imperial Boltporn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
