Pulse Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Ok thats officially got me excited, first time in a while that BL or GW have done that! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253235-the-unremembered-empire/page/2/#findComment-3073578 Share on other sites More sharing options...
A D-B Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Watch it be something so off the wall that these hallowed forums will ring with the echo of our collective facepalm for not thinking of it first.

No Foes Remain Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Watch it be something so off the wall that these hallowed forums will ring with the echo of our collective facepalm for not thinking of it first. I'm already watching the responses and thinking "Guys, guys, guys... You're better than this." That means its something so painfully obvious and we just can't guess it. Damn it, you better get some popcorn ADB, its gonna be a while.

Wrath of Terra Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Watch it be something so off the wall that these hallowed forums will ring with the echo of our collective facepalm for not thinking of it first. I'm already watching the responses and thinking "Guys, guys, guys... You're better than this." I'm sure that officially counts as teasing us in some form. Ok, erm, something obvious that hasn't really been mentioned so far? A primarch or two returns? An Imperial civil war over whether to let the emperor die or keep him plugged in? That god of the dead the Eldar are working on wakes up? THE RETURN OF THE SQUATS?! Oh lord.... the main Tyranid hordes finally show up....that's it, isn't it? Edit - fixing some awful grammar to make it less awful.

The Broker Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Fall of the Eldar could be big enough to be more important than the HH. Could imagine the ending: The Emperor feeling the warp storms around Terra clear, and realise it's time to set off to reunite his people.

I'm already watching the responses and thinking "Guys, guys, guys... You're better than this." Well it's very open ended. Lots of big secret things are possible in 30 and 40. For myself I can't even speculate. Will just have to wait for the teasing to stop and for Dan to undress.

No Foes Remain Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 What about the unification wars? Could it be about that and the Emperor leading his first crusade to unit Terra?

Artein Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Big secrets? Not HH. Not Lost Primarchs. Great Crusade? Could be. Early Emperor's days? Possible. Advancing the story? Maybe. Crossovers co-written with others, First Claw vs Gaunt's Ghosts, Honsou vs Ciaphas Cain? Unlikely. Are we even sure it's 40k? Can it be something from Tolkien/LotR/Hobbit? Is considering this a heresy? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253235-the-unremembered-empire/page/2/#findComment-3073715 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Juan Juarez Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I wonder what that big secret is. Is it something related to the lost legions? It's not about the Lost Legions. It's never about the Lost Legions. It never will be about the Lost Legions, unless there are massive shake-ups at GW. And it's not lupus, either. It's never lupus. :tu: This warmed the cold dead thing I call my soul. On a more related note: Did no one else think "If there's a book it's hardly unremembered."

A D-B Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Advancing the story? Maybe. That's the least likely. 40K is a setting, not a storyline. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253235-the-unremembered-empire/page/2/#findComment-3073727 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it something that will destroy all we thought we knew? Because it sounds cool.

Marshal Rohr Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Maybe Dan is writing a Codex. He tweeted something about a job that not his job. Maybe a sourcebook?

Kol Saresk Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 No, I haven't pinched myself yet. But hey, if Gav Thorpe could write, what's stopping other BL authors from doing the same? Andy Chambers writes fluff for both GW and BL right?

Legatus Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Gav Thorpe had been a GW studio writer before becoming a BL author. He had done several 3rd Edition Codices (like the Codex Eldar and the Codex Blood Angels), and even some 2nd Edition Codices (like Sisters of Battle). Edit: I like Dan as an Author, at least when he is writing about the Imperial Guard. I am not that thrilled about the prospect of him writing a Marine Codex.

Marshal Rohr Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 The old SoB codex was quite good IMO. Legs, I can imagine Dan writing a follow up on the Ultramarines has about as much appeal as having your manhood dragged through ground glass.

Kol Saresk Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I like when Dan writes Space Marines. They're different from how A-D-B and everyone else writes them, but that's because Dan Abnett is writing them, not A-D-B, not C.S. Goto, not James Swallow nor anybody else. Every good author has his own unique writing style. Sometimes it is eerily similar to another person. Sometimes it will contain traits that associated with several authors. When I read a book, I do so with an open mind policy. I don't care if it is the same author. I read the book for what the book is. It can be from author whose previous novel I didn't like. I might like the current novel. It might be an author whose previous I loved and danced up and down over, but I end up hating this current novel. One of the reasons I stick with BL is because there are very few novels I don't like as a whole, except for Phalanx by Ben Counter. And a good portion of those problems could have been fixed by the editor. Even then, the book carried a tone to it as if Ben Counter had been forced into writing it. And it is the only novel by Ben Counter that I have ever read that I absolutely did not like. But I don't hold against him.

Adam_R Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Hmm the Unremembered Empire, lets push the boat out. 1) A book concerning the Old Ones and their creation of various species to combat the Ctan/Necrotyr. 2) The Emperor's second Empire inside his webway portal before it got nom'ed by daemons. 3) An Explorator fleet finally find the planet that Warhammer Fantasy is based on and begin Imperial Guard Tithes. 4) Book concerning the Dark Age of Technology and the rise of some local warlord calling himself "Emperor". 5) Book concerning the creation of Huron Blackheart's Empire. Detailing his early goals and aspirations. 6) We find out who the Nids are running from. *continues to rock back and forth in cell* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253235-the-unremembered-empire/page/2/#findComment-3073929 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warsmith Aznable Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Squats returning as the Demiurg, and the Tau Empire exploding outward before falling apart into several states so we get several competing factions in the next Tau codex (that includes options to play completely non-Tau lists out of the Tau Empire codex) I wouldn't mind seeing that.
