Wade Garrett Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 That's why some books end up as Twilight, and other books end up as A Game of Thrones. Would that reason be "Some writers are capable of telling a story that resonates with a wide audience and wrapping it up in three or four novels, and some writers just vomit words onto paper for a thousand pages and send it to the publisher in spite of the fact that they completely lost the plot two one thousand page novels ago." ?

DuskRaider Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 helterskelter, we don't talk about that... Lorgar actually takes a freakin Plasma Blastgun to the face. Then again, he was using sorcery and almost died anyhow.

Emperor's Furor Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Which face? Lorgar's face or Mortarions face, they both got it hard lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287439-vengeful-spirit/page/12/#findComment-3667028 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scribe Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Its from a short story, with Little Horus. I dont recall the title, pretty sure it was an Abnett work as he invented 'transhuman dread' at that point.

Kol Saresk Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 The only one that took anything to the face in Little Horus was when Aximand had his face cut off, quite literally. Betrayer is when Lorgar does his plasma dusco ball act and Vengeful Spirit is Mortarion mimicking Lorgar pulling a plane out of the sky.

Emperor's Furor Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Yeah it's little horus where horus aximand gets his face cut off by a white scar wielding a medusa steel sword.

Sevatar Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I had a similar feeling WoT. He so almost had him, too, if only that other traitor hadn't intervened in that seconds.

Kol Saresk Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Except for that in Angel Exterminatus who is magically unaffected by sonic vibrations because he has no eardrums.

Emperor's Furor Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Yeah but I figure the Emperor's Children guy was only screaming, perhaps not as powerful as their sonic weaponry and only disoriented the enemy by bursting their ear drums.

MasterofMankind Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 IIRC Mortarion also gets shot at by a tank, then while the tank is reloading destroys it while delivering a one-liner. BAD. ASS. I don't think there's any doubt that the primarch with biggest endurance is Mortarion Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287439-vengeful-spirit/page/12/#findComment-3667320 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kol Saresk Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 So let me get this straight. Legion: "That is all you get." Vengeful Spirit: "One shot is all you get." Betrayer: Primarch pulls plane out of the sky. Vengeful Spirit: Primarch pulls plane out of the sky. Is it just me or does something with the book see a pattern emerging?

Emperor's Furor Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I don't think he pulled a plane out of the air in Betrayer, Lorgar got shot in the face by a warhound titan in Betrayer.

Plague Angel Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 In fairness, "all you get" is a fairly standard, easy line in any event. It's easily applicable, and the most natural phrasing if, indeed, it is all they get. No sense wasting time trying to come up with an "original" phrasing of the same thought just to be different for difference's sake.
