What happened to the Thunder Warriors

[Kol Saresk]

Won't know until it happens. Even then it might be one of those "Taranis was distracted by his missing arm and the chainaxe that was currently disembowling him" sort of things.

[Raven Angel]

I hate it when they build up a character and then punk them to death.

[Kol Saresk]

Sometimes its necessary. Otherwise you have to build up an even bigger character and it eventually becomes Mary Sue galore as newer and bigger characters come along trying to top each other. It may seem childish to kill a beloved character in such a fashion, but its believable and usually draws the desired effect from the audience.

Yes, but whyyyy did they have to kill off Honen Mu and the Jokers in Legion??? Whyyyy Dan Abnett???!!!

[Kol Saresk]

To make you do that. :D

Hurt and Peto survived.  I miss Mu, but those two were the heart of that book.

Don't get me wrong, I get that killing characters can be a powerful story telling tool but the death must be worthy of the persona. For example The way Argel Tal is killed in Betrayer. That was not a good death. It is pretty much a given that Logar is going to have to resurrect him as ADB won't let it stand their. He's to good a writer.

 

I just hope that if Arik Taranis is to die on Terra during the siege it is a death worthy of of his Legend.

Resurrecting Argel Tal would be a terrible idea. The whole point was that it wasn't the glorious end he wanted. It was nasty, ignoble end...which happens in war. Even to nice, admirable, undeserving people.

 

(Admirable, nice, and undeserving being relative in this case )

Logar has already seen Argel Tal's death on Terra at the Eternity Gate at the hands of Sanguinius in First Heretic. I doubt He will let Erebus get over completely.

[Wade Garrett]

And Erebus saw futures where Sanguinus turned to Chaos.

 

Very inexact science, that getting visions of the future from the Ruinous Powers.

Or prophesy in general, really.

Though, Mu and the Jokers died "off screen"...there is still a possibility that they got rescued...a geno regiment is a valuable resource after all... :)

 

Yes yes, I am a hopeless optimist when it comes to these things! :P

A D-B has already said, Argel Tal is not getting resurrected. What Lorgar saw was simply one of at least ten thousand futures.
