Sviox Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 There is a new collector's edition available for a short time on BL website (http://www.blacklibrary.com/warhammer-40000/mephiston-lord-of-death.html). What do you think, worth it? Costs a whopping 50 euros! Never read anything from the author. Any opinions on the included Eclipse of Hope short story that has been available as an eBook before?

Israfel Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I read the Eclipse of Hope and it was promising. The author was new to me at that time but I had thought that he got the essentials right and that he got a good insight of the psyche of Mephiston (which is pretty troubled). I hope he will deviate greatly from Matt Ward's "masterful" interpretation of the Lord of Death being a daemon prince but not the Avatar of Sanguinius as suggested by previous fluff.

Morollan Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I got the e-mail from Black Library about this and thought that it looked really nice. Then I saw the price... No way in hell I am paying £35 for a novel.

Israfel Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I wish they would give a voucher with the novel to get a limited edition (re-sculpted) Mephiston model. It would justify the cost ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/270206-mephiston-lord-of-death-collectors-edition/#findComment-3294207 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexus25 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I love Libriabrian Pop Collar but not that much!!! Now if it came with a re-sculpt of the model with out the uber-dbag collar I would have ordered two.

SamaNagol Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 One thing I do wish GW did was ltd edition alternates like Privateer Press do of their characters. Alternate Mephiston and Dante would be lovely Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/270206-mephiston-lord-of-death-collectors-edition/#findComment-3296938 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHarrower Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I wanted this REAL bad, but it wasn't just the price that turned me away. 128 pages? Seriously? 300+ pages maybe, but 128 pages for that kinda money is insane. I wanted something that takes me more than 2 trips to the can to read. This isn't it.

Darklighter Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 It's finnaly here! Number 701 is all mine Muahahhahahaa. I'd hoped for lesser number as I got my order in a good 5 min before the 6 o'clock opening time... I can't wait for the little one to go to bed tonight so I can start reading.
