Unremembered Empire....initial review

[Legatus]

Guilliman also only survived the fight against Angron because Lorgar had stopped Angron from delivering the killing blow. So in the last books he appears in, Guilliman would practically have been killed four times, but he was saved each time either due to his victorious opponent hesitating or through an unexpected machination. Three of those times he was beaten in combat, and two of those times weren't even against another Primarch.

 

I think the only other Primarch who was "effectively killed" as often in the series is probably Vulkan.

[Kol Saresk]

You missed Ferrus. Then again, it might be easy given his..... Reduced stature.

[Legatus]

Ah, I only thought he was killed once. I didn't read the earlier books in the series.

[Kol Saresk]

No you're right. He was only killed once. Quite effectively.

[Legatus]

Too bad Daemon-Fulgrim didn't make any gloating speeches.

 

(He probably will do that when he is fighting Guilliman, later...)

[Kol Saresk]

Nah, he made the speech before hand IIRC.

[Wade Garrett]

Technically Fulgrim could have killed him on Ferrus's ship, but he settled for knocking him out with Forgebreaker, so that's 2 for the Gorgon.

 

Rob's still ahead, though. Yeesh. What a time to be a loyalist fan...

[Captain Idaho]

What is the fourth time?

 

Angron, Alpharius lite (i.e. Space Marine) and Kor Phaedron. What am I missing then?

 

None of the times were particularly rubbish though. Only thoughtless repetition plot wise. ;)

curze's "bomb voyage".

[Captain Idaho]

Meh that's just a trap, not an actual beating.

[Kol Saresk]

True. Not to mention the gloating was just a diversion. And he would have gotten away with it to if it wasn't for those meddling Astartes!

[Legatus]

I said killed four times, three of those times beaten in combat.

[Pyroriffic]

IIRC, I think that they had some super prognosticators that were both a librarian *and* a chaplain.

They are the spiritual being of their chapter, so I could possibly see Narek being that. The word bearers look to signs and astrology, the Skulls try to divine the future.

Hmmmmm.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.

Where's Sarah Cawkwell when we need her!

Eaten by life.

Three months is a standard response time, right?

By the standards of today's immediate gratification fanboy/girls? No, and having a life is no excuse. :p

Shh cormac! We don't want to scare her away for another 3...

 

 

Oh great one, we beseech you to come back and bestow your blessing upon your humble servants! We offer you this sacrifice...named cormac airt...as a token of our gratitude.

Er....... Yes.

Depthcharge, get the purple paint! Hurry!

[Conn Eremon]

Ha! I just now noticed I was the sacrifice being offered. That said, I have been known to come in purple from time to time.

[Wade Garrett]

We offer praise to Mighty Jeff

That he might turn his gaze our way

And gift us with the boon of thread closure.

[Pyroriffic]

Excellent, purple is my favourite.

 

Yes - there are Prognosticators, who are the seers and then there are Prognosticars, who are more geared up to being combat psykers. Both of them are exceptionally revered within the Silver Skulls due to their superstitions and beliefs.

Blasphemer!!!

 

You are not the high priest of the temple of Jeff!!!

 

That being said....brother Tyler has been on a roll with killing threads this week.

 

 

 

@pyroriffic

 

Have you thought about talking to the guys at BL to make a heresy book? I would definitely get one.

They couldn't have had names a little bit more different? :p

Alas, no, for those are the names already brought up in the Existing History [tm].

Well, you wouldn't have been the first author to change Existing History [tm] if you had, and I am sure that would have been something fans in general would have stood behind. But, minor quibble is just a minor quibble. Couple times I have tripped over it while reading, is all.

When are we going to read a Horus Heresy of yours? We already got AD-B all up in it, and Abnett throws some powerhouse punches with regularity. But I feel that they are outnumbered by the likes of Gav "I am Alpharius Raven Guard" Thorpe, Nick "You may be immortal, but I can still kill you with this spoon" Kyme, Ben "I really don't need to say anything other than Battle for the Abyss" Counter and Graham "More miss than hit" McNeill.

Come on, Sarah. Join the Horus Heresy league.

Seconded. Peer pressure FTW

 

I mean even if you decided to do the dark angels you would be fine because everyone's dabbled a little bit with them :P
