Visions of Heresy


Emperor's Furor

Recommended Posts

I managed to get a battered copy of the old Visions book and I am quite happy with it. Besides, I am not keen on any of Neil Roberts' Space Marine work, though I would like to see what else they've added alongside the old artwork and the new timeline.

The original limited edition version of the Horus Heresy Collected Visions Book was bound in leather and came in its own slipcase with a gold Eye of Horus on the front. It only cost £75 and was limited to 100 copies worldwide...

Got a response from BL on what the full differences are between the Collectir's Edition and Amazon's cheaper, Spring slotted release edition:

 

Thank you for your email. Amazon is referring to the standard edition of this book and is scheduled to be released Spring next year. This edition will be a single book with a hardback Cover and Dust Jacket. Where as the the Collectors Edition is 2 leather Bound books in a leather bound slip case with gilded edging.

 

Many thanks,

 

Stuart 

Of course, nothing stated about the content, but I suppose that might mean there is nothing different there.

I would assume they'd be the same edition - there's little sense in having an updated version in the Collector's Edition and then (re)releasing a regular edition with the older material in it...

Well that sold out quickly - http://www.blacklibrary.com/horus-heresy/visions-of-heresy-collectors-edition.html

 

I was getting a page that said 'no product found' but now a page saying 'Visions of Heresy has now sold out'.

 

I was fortunate to get one but still I'm very surprised all 1250 copies seem to have sold out in under 20 mins!?

Yes, the Internet is kind of slow at times... tongue.png

Still, a non-collectible version will be out in March, right?

Yes indeed - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Visions-Heresy-Horus-Alan-Merrett/dp/1849702152/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1382102110&sr=1-1&keywords=visions+of+heresy

A lot cheaper too! But I'm a sucker for collector/limited/special/super editions...! ;)

I got it ill post the receipt in the morning ;)

Ill do a full review and photos for all

 

But when I ordered I got this weird message

 

We are sorry for the inconvenience but a fatal error has occurred whilst processing your request. Click back in your browser to try again or click here to return to the home page

 

It took the money out of my bank and I got an order confirmation but I freaked out I seriously was refreshing the page for 5 mins before it went on sale and the second it said buy now I pounced, then saw that and crapped myself

 

Anyone else get that messsge

Well I managed to pick one up before they sold out in no time, never owned the original so looking forward to receiving it :-)

 

There's a couple of points I'd like to make about it as I've seen a few negative comments.

 

1: it's a set designed specifically to tie in with FW's HH books, with the same high quality look and feel and as such is an excellent addition for someone who's collecting them.

 

2: the price is in line with FW's HH books which are £70 each and combined with the slip case and it's limited nature would easily give you that price.

 

That's all moot anyway as it sold out in less than 30 mins, so was clearly very popular but I feel needed stating anyway.

 

@Jaspcat Yep got that message myself as well, kind of worrying at the time ;-)

Fresh from Black Library's Facebook:

 

Hi guys, it seems that, due to some ghosts in the servers (must be a hang-over from yesterday's Halloween stories) we may have some copies of Visions of Heresy left. These will be posted up on the website as soon as we have all the pertinent data. If you missed out this morning, keep checking on here for an announcement about when you'll have a chance to pick up your copy.
