Ammonius Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 http://www.blacklibrary.com/warhammer-40000/nurgles-gift-the-tallyman-ebook.html Looks like a "Split" E-Book from two authors I admire is up at Black Library: Nurgle's Gift is by Guy Haley The Tallyman is by Anthony Reynolds While I am witholding judgement about what the "2 stories in one Ebook" means, I'm happy to see this combination of Authors and the Grandfather :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultraboy Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I read both of them earlier this week. Nurgle's Gift seemed a bit disorganized and Tallyman is a continuation of Reynolds' Word Bearers. Tallyman was the better of the two and only because I kinda liked his WBs. I would be nice if BL came out with a strong Nurgle based book. The only time Papa Nurgle was represented well in the 40k era was Cadian Blood.

Although that was a rather iffy presentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaeron Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 There's a good portrayal in The Unkindness of Ravens too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 @Ultraboy: Would say these qualify as "recommend", "not the worst choice to read" or "GET OUT! GET OUT OF THERE!" bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammonius Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 I got these and: Nurgle's Gift would be a welcome full-page story with art spread in a better-written Chaos Codex, calling back to similar full-page works in the Slaves to Darkness and The Lost and the Damned books. I liked the "punchline" of the story. After reading The Tallyman, I think that if the huge graphic novel Black Library has in process sells enough to justify another, I want to see the post Dark Apostle short story "Misadventures of Marduk" in comic form. Bonus comic book points if they had a "crossover" and had Marduk and his warband rescued by a ship owned and operated by Honsou of the Iron Warriors. :) For me, supporting Chaos-centered stories with no Loyalists in sight makes these "not the worst choice".

Ultraboy Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Kol, I'd say not the worst choice to read. I did like the presentation of Nurgle afflictions in both stories. Always good to read for modeling and conversion ideas. They're both very short stories so don't expect much if you do pick them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
