TheAurelian Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I recently finished some anthology or some such the one with the Night Lords and Sevatar at the end and they divide up and go separate ways big fight with 1st legion Sevatar rides a fighter while hanging on the the back yada yada blah blah blah. I really liked Sevatar's :cussishness and his arrogant swagger of im better than you(because he is). I instantly fell in love with this tortured soul of a legion and the insanity it has. people with more Night Lords knowledge please recomend books for me to read and such im more into Horus Heresy stuff and what not. which order should i read in, what short stories, any particular favorite parts? thanks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285764-nightlords-fan-calls-for-aid-haha/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 The only other thing that involves the Night Lords is the short story Savage Weapons in the Age of Darkness anthology. It features more of Sevatar's bad ery. There are two novels that concern Curze specifically. The Unremembered Empire and Vulkan Lives. Between the two, I recommend Unremembered Empire.

Brother Heinrich Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I would read the Night Lords Trilogy, also penned by Aaron Dembski-Bowden. fantastic stuff, and even though its set in the 41st millennium, there are still loads of awesome flashbacks to the heresy time period that really show the character of the legion. There is also the short story Savage Weapons which is set in the Heresy and is hands-down my favorite primarch v primarch fight simply for its sheer gutter-brawl brutality.

Wade Garrett Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Pick up "Lord of the Night" by Simon Spurrier if you can find it. Â It's 40k era, but the proteganist is a Heresy Night Lord who's just woken up from a long nap. Â "My First Captain is Sahaal!"

TheAurelian Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Pick up "Lord of the Night" by Simon Spurrier if you can find it. Â It's 40k era, but the proteganist is a Heresy Night Lord who's just woken up from a long nap. Â "My First Captain is Sahaal!" hey wade i do not know much of spurrier can you describe his writing style to me? also does black library have different authors regarding 40k and 30k or is it a free for all write what you will? or do authors just tend to stick to one or the other?

Conn Eremon Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 There is a bank of more or less "veteran" BL novelists (opinions may vary GREATLY) that appear to be the main spearheads for all things 30k, while the more varied roster are more liberally spread about in 40k. Â Within that, this "bank" has areas of expertise where its significant publishings are almost entirely by them. Such as Kyme with the Salamanders, Gav with the Raven Guard, A D-B with the Night Lords and Abnett doing whatever the :cuss he wants, to name only a few small examples. Variations tend to be through short stories and such. Some are more varied than others. Some need to learn to share. I have only seen one laugh at this trend, and that is Abnett. He just makes better sandcastles in everyone else's sandbox. Â These aren't 'actual' rules by any means, just trends I have noticed since I began reading BL. Â Anyway, if you love the Night Lords, I recommend looking up anything by Aaron Dembski-Bowden. Much of what he writes is gold, and even his lesser works can be of better quality than many others'.

Kol Saresk Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 And McNeill butchering spearheading the Emperor's Children and Iron Warriors. If he manages to get a Storm of Iron level second wind, the future of those two Legions should be safe. If.

Quixus Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 And McNeill butchering spearheading the Emperor's Children and Iron Warriors. If he manages to get a Storm of Iron level second wind, the future of those two Legions should be safe. If.Yeah, for me McNeill is pretty much hit or miss. I really liked Storm of Iron (40K) and A Thousand Sons but Fulgrim I had to fight through. His Smurf Saga (also 40K) was OK, but as I said, the "spin-off" (Storm of Iron) was much better. I can only repeat what others have already said, Read A D-B's books about the Night Lords.  To me "Lord of the Night" was an entertaining read, but apart from the events following Curze's assisted suicide, it gives away very little about the VIII Legion. It is more about two totally isolated characters that somehow find a way to work together.

Kol Saresk Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Lord of the Night was meant more to show "the typical Night Lord". Ironically, it gave birth to two methods of thinking when it came to Night Lords and since then, the methods have grown, but have still managed to remain centralized to the "core" that is "The VIII Legion".

Wade Garrett Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Quixus, I have to disagree with your opinion of "Lord of the Night". I thought it did a wonderful job of providing insight into the VIII's ideology and methodology while showing just how bleeding edge thin the line between good and evil is in the grim darkness of the far future.

ADB is an awesome author, I can attest after reading the first heretic and betrayer.
