Kol Saresk Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Im thinking of getting that ebook about Abaddon(Talon of Horus teaser right there) but I was also looking at Echoes of Old Night and Lost Sons. Both are HH ebooks and I was just wondering, what were everyone's opinions on them. Are they worth buying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kais Klip Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Grabbed the talon when it's mentions popped up on here last night, not really worth it tbh, it serves better as a free teaser in a WD. Granted I was expecting some quirky post-heresy vibe, but it felt like Abaddon was already 40k, and not the 35k I was expecting. And this was all going on while some loyalist dies a very quick and unremarkable death. Not worth the download time if not the tiny fee that I drop from my pocket every day. That was about the short, I'm still neutral on the upcoming Talon. Positively... neutral... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scribe Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Echo's was interesting. Super short, but I didnt have a lot of context to put it against as its about Death Guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A D-B Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 KAPOW! Good thread on the topic here: http://www.heresy-online.net/forums/showthread.php?t=130553&page=6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Eh Deh-Beh… Y U SO GUD!? Chosen of Chaos was a delicious treat. Practically pissed myself over my cup of coffee in anticipation for full-length Black Legion stuff. April Fools' can't come soon enough. Thanks man, probably going to have to model a Black Crusades-era Abaddon now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 So..... Nobody's read Lost Sons? New territory I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Devil Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Lost Sons was just okay. I don't feel strongly about it enough to recommend or warn you off it. Shorts I would recommend are "Crown of Thorns" and "Honuors" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 That was....... Wow. Wish it was longer, but wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaeron Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Might get the bulk lot at the end - worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 I don't know. I've just the Abaddon eshort. Liked it though. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I enjoyed Lost Sons, despite it's size. It's implications were grand, and it's always fun to read a tasty hint about the Lost Legions. Riven was.... nuts. Like, looney, mad hatter nuts. The X Legion are going to go to war with themselves when they all convene on Medusa again, I suspect. Echo's was awesome, and worth the price. Knowing that walking into a Phosphex cloud can even make a rad-wasted Destroyer veteran shake in his ceramite boots really hammers home how vicious of a weapon it is. Sci-Fi Willie Pete for the win. The Gates of Terra was interesting, but....'meh'. The Divine Word was okay. Cool to see how the Lectitio Divinatus has continued to spread. Bjorn: Lone Wolf was a touch disappointing. It was alright, but I expected something a touch cooler. Army of One.... read it if you dig Eversor Clades. Choppy choppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Eremon Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Anybody mind spoilering Lost Sons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Anybody mind spoilering Lost Sons? There twenty Blood Angels stationed on Baal. This is about three years into the Heresy. One day, Tylos Rubio shows up. On the orders of Malcador, he has come to oversee the dissolution of the Blood Angels and the redistribution of all Legion supplies as all contact was been lost with the Legion proper and the Signus Cluster cannot be found, just a void in space where it should be. While they were refusing to comply, an astropathic scream from the main BA fleet reaches Baal, which stops Rubio in his tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Eremon Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Whoa. That is an unexpected event. I mean, I suppose it makes sense given what little information is available to them, but damn that is one heck of a response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Yep. There is a ton of dialogue though and like Heathens says, its some pretty sweet dialogue. A recommended read for fluffbunnies. So buy it! :teehee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Eremon Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Sadly, if it is only available as an ebook through the BL site, I can't purchase it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conn Eremon Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Nope. Don't own an i-anything. Just a weird glitch that prevents me from finalizing the sale. Bank says it is all on the website's end and the website never responds. I have been able to make two purchases go through, but each time required hand-holding with the bank on the phone and about half an hour's worth of "That didn't work? Huh. Well, try . . . " and "You know what, I am going to transfer you to someone else who can . . ." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Huh. I have never had that problem and I have bought an ebook off the website before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Eremon Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Aye, it seems to be something directly related to me. It rejects my bank information almost every time, and I have to get the bank involved to force it through. According to them, the request never even reaches them. Something on the website's end always rejects my information. Shot off a couple emails detailing the issue but BL never got back to me. It has been about a year since, though I try every now and then to see if it has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
