Disruptor_fe404 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I just had the Omnibus delivered and dove into it. Not very far currently, about halfway through the McNeil Iron Warriors short (seems fairly boring so far, actually), but I'm fairly certain I once read the Imperial Fists Scout story that's next. Does anyone recommend any of the stories in it in particular? I mean, I'm definitely going to read all of them, but I'm curious of any of them stood out to the rest of you.

TDF Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I've only got Heroes and Legends, but my favourites out of those are Renegades by Gav Thorpe, Twelve Wolves by Ben Counter and The Last Detail by Paul Kearney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disruptor_fe404 Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Yup, enjoyed Renegades immensely! Also the one about the Sons of Malice. I'm reading the Black Templars one currently (where they lose three Land Raiders in the first couple of pages), and something about the writing style for this one feels... off.

crackspyder Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I enjoyed The Long Games at Carcharias by rob sanders. great ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disruptor_fe404 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 Looking forward to it! Just finished the Black Templars short I mentioned earlier, quite liked the second half of it, it's just the beginning with the (seemingly-forced) dialogue that threw me off.

Deathstrike_Chimera Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I actually enjoyed Runes a lot. it was the first of Victories of the Space Marines I believe. it was a fun little story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perrin Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Not related to the omnibus really but I've been looking for two short-stories that I read years ago but can't remember what they were or where I read them, maybe someone will recognise them or maybe they're in the omnibus? The first is something about a fight against someone (probably chaos) with two different marine forces, I think it was Black Templars and someone else. At the end of the story there is a chaos artefact/weapon that one chapter wants to keep, the other wants to destroy, then they square up and it ends, with the implication that they then fought each other. The second is a squad of IG in a jungle, they get sent a commissar and a Kroot mercenary to help them find and secure some artefact or weapon. The kroot turns out to be working for the Inquisition or something? Anyway by the end of the story the Kroot has killed everyone and taken the item to a helicopter where it's master are waiting, then when it hands the item over it's masters shoot the Kroot to tie up loose ends. On second thoughts it could be the Commissar that survives to the end... Anyway, I don't know which stories are in there but I've read the Sons of Malice one which was extremely cool, though is probably going to be the only thing ever written about them. Is the BT one where they are travelling to retrieve and awaken a Dreadnought? Read it a while ago and short stories don't really stick with me but IIRC it was a good story.

Disruptor_fe404 Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Yup, the ones you've read from the Omnibus are 'Malice' and 'And They Shall Know No Fear...' (the latter still being the one I read most recently, haven't had time to go back and get more of it into my brain-grapes). I don't think I've read the other two you're talking about though. The IG one sounds like it'd be an interesting read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perrin Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I might get this omnibus then, even if it's just for 'And They Shall Know No Fear', it was a good story iirc. Alas, my endless journey for the two short stories that I may possibly have dreamt will continue then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disruptor_fe404 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Just finished reading 'One Hate' by AD-B last night, and it's definitely the best one so far. Excellent (if too curt for me, as I want much more of it) exploration of non-battlefield interaction between Astartes, dramatic without being overwrought, glorious premise.

Tiger9gamer Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Oh man, I have to say my favorite is "the Last Detail" so damn good imho, even if it's a bit slow in the beginning. great interactions between Astartes and non Astartes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disruptor_fe404 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Oooh, I'm a sucker for any stories with those interactions. I'm digging Cover of Darkness at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool of you to say so. That was the first thing I ever wrote for BL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disruptor_fe404 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 You've set a pretty high bar for the next work of yours that I read then! I'll eventually get to At Gaius Point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
