Arachnid99 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Oh I forgot to add another scene: Angels Exterminatus in the last battle; I can't remember the names but it was an Emperor's Children soldier using a sonic weapon against a deaf Iron Hand only to find it doesn't work, and then get ripped to shreds by a Volkite weapon of some sort. That was just stupid. The Sonic Blaster had been shown to shred armour and flay Marines bodies. How does being deaf protect you from that?

Others can do the battle scenes better but he's not just a great storyteller but legitimately very funny.

When within 18" of a vehicle or nuclear reactor, Skraal may perform his "flying melta bomb" move. Move Skraal in base to base contact with unit and roll 2d6 penetration (auto hit). Remove Skraal.

Ozeryk_Sleipnijr Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 The Space Wolves battle with the Network Culture, from the taking of the orbital platform to crashing it into their cities. (Prospero Burns) The confrontation of Hauser with the Demon in Prospero burns All the scenes where Fabius gets slapped around The Moment of Betrayal when the Word Bearers open on the Ultra Marines in the cantine. (Know no Fear) Pretarbo smacking Fulgrim around. All the scenes involving Leman Russ All scenes involving Raven Guard not written by Gavin Thorp. (His very first books were much better written than his Heresy stuff I wonder what happened) The Last scene in The Serpent Beneath: "What does your Primarch demand of you?" " Everything."

[TA]Typher Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 In Savage Weapons, where Konrad Curze receives the reward of treachery from the hands of Lion in Caliban steel. Also, I'm waiting to see Sanguinius holds the Eternity Gate against hundreds of traitors and daemons single handly. I want to read about the moment that Angron and the Angel stare each other down from the walls of the Imperial Palace. It's going to be hard to beat the William King story.

Aegnor Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Lots and lots - The end of Horus Rising, when the narrator says that standing besides Horus as they were besieged by the interex is still the proudest moment of his life, despite the Heresy. - Horus and the Mournival tearing strips of Eidolan and the Blood Captain captain when they arrive at Murder. - Horus's embittered descriptions of his brother's attitudes to him when he thinks he's dying. (False Gods?) - Most everything Garro does in FoTE. - The successive moments in Legion when you realise how cool the Alpha Legion are. - The entirety of Rogal Dorn's internal monologue in "The Lightning Tower". - The arrival of the Emperor on Mars in Mechanicum "Machine, Heal Thyself". - Getting a Legio Custodes pov story (Bloodgames) in Tales of Heresy. - Khârn being attacked by Angron in After De'Shea, and then Angron leading his legion "into the blood-drenched darkness". - Corax asking if he looks like he needs a bodyguard in Raven's Flight. - RUSS!!! in Prospero Burns. - Ingethel killing Argel Tal in TFH "This is going to hurt, a lot". Brutal, gave me the heebie-jeebies. - The destruction of the Calth shipyards in KNF. - SANGUINIUS!!! in FtT. - Angron and Lorgar fighting together in The Butcher's Nails - Angron laughing when Lorgar tells him to just paint his armour red. - Hearing Argel Tal's "double voice" in The Butcher's Nails. - Hell, most of Betrayer - I need to go back and re-read it to isolate particular favourite bits as I devoured it in virtually one long go.

Malatox Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 No one has mentioned Kaleb Arin? The most heroic human character in the novels, and one of the most touching too.

I completely agree, it's arguable that he is a greater hero than any other character as he willingly sacrifices himself to save his master and the imperium. I was sad to be reminded he came back as a plague zombie :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273258-favourite-scene-of-the-heresy-so-far/page/3/#findComment-3362912 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessejk Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 A scene from 'Prospero Burns'. Longfang's Dream of Winter, when he tries to explain to Hawser the reason behind the Wolves. 'I told you this. A role for each primarch-son. A role for each primarchs legion. Defedners and champions, storm troopers and praetorians... we all have our duties. SIxth legion are the executioners. We are the last line. When all else fails, we are the ones expected to do whatever is necessary' Great how he keeps an eye on him whilst in the throws of death.

Schnabel Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 The part in 'Betrayer' when they are travelling to Nuceria and Angron enjoys camaraderie with his legion, laughing and drinking with them and watching their duels. For some reason it was a very moving scene, especially if you think about what happened next.

Hyaenidae Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Corax nearly killing Lorgar Yes. The whole "You're killing my sons!" part was so emotional and tragic, I really felt for Corax. I actually hoped, for just a second, that Corax would kill him, despite established fluff. I desperately wanted Lorgar murdered in that moment. No, not "Loken-dead" dead. STONE DEAD, never to return. Ever. I felt better during Aurelian, especially when Lorgar began smacking around Fulgrim.

evolved23 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 The origins of Corax when he was found on deliverance lost. Aeonid Thiel when he is informed that the primarch will be seeing him shortly and when he is promptly forgotten. Servatar when he meets up with the first company "Hello Ladies" just adds to it on the audio book. the meeting of the celexus assassin on terra by the Vanus in nemesis The very end of the lightning tower where the Emperor speaks to Dorn Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273258-favourite-scene-of-the-heresy-so-far/page/3/#findComment-3364782 Share on other sites More sharing options...
