depthcharge12 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Gonna read that shizz today. Isn't this the story they chucked in with Maccrages honor to try and debuff some of the cost?

Conn Eremon Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Yeppers. Details the incident when the Emperor got choked out by a big damn Ork on a little known not-world called Gorro. But, you get to see some of Sejanus, which is pretty cool.

Daddywarcrimes Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I have to say, this was one of those rare reads that really hammered home that the primarchs are something so beyond humanity that it's not even right to call them transhuman.

Hyaenidae Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Despite folks, including myself, giving Graham McNeil a tough time with some of his writing, this story was outstanding.

spu00sed Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 As a custodes fanboy I am in two minds about this short. My first contact with custodes was in a bit of fluff text when the emperor and 1000 custodes teleport down into the modest of an Ork horde than was in the verge of brekaing two legions, and shattered it in half an hour losing three men, and their names were then enscribed into the emperors armour. Since then scores have been lost in the heresy series's, with this book having the largest lost count (though most were form blind devotion to following the emperor). The other part of me loves this story. It takes it back to the tradegy of the first trilogy, a son betraying a father he loves. I think the heresy has lost this spark. It is all grumpy old men with grudges, almost 49k with primarchs. We forget that it is a family tearing itself apart and the love and anguish they must feel.

Carach Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 spu00sed i agree with u on the latter bit (trilogy missing some of the family pain stuff) - think the last one to do that well was know no fear (betrayer i dont count because its the development of an arc that begins with TFH. which was awesome ofc) as for custodes: a few have died in some questionable ways (need i mention Outcast Dead?) but then 3 dying where a legion or 2 failed is perhaps a little bit overkill on their powers. It's also fluff from a much older time. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287690-the-wolf-of-ash-and-fire/#findComment-3620867 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spu00sed Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I know carach, but it made them so much cooler. I do accept their lower power levels I'm also intrigued by this terentius bloke, a traitor possible killed by the mournival. Also seeing the emperors kill your soul power unleashed was cool, as was him absorbing the energy of the Orks he killed, the chaos gods were right to abbadon Horus at the last moment before they became snacks for the big E.

Wade Garrett Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 One wonders why, if the Emperor could casually soul kill the Chaos Gods, he didn't just Draigo walk through that hole Magnus tore in the basement, perform said soul killing, and then go "Problem, Horus?" Instead of what actually happened. Of course, this tale does flow from the pen of Graham "Isstvan V: Before Prospero? After? During? Ehh, Who Cares?" so maybe we should just be happy he didn't have Gorro occur during the Battle of Calth or the 13th Black Crusade and leave it at that.

Kol Saresk Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Where does it say he could just kill Gods? As far as I can tell, this is supposed to be what he does to Horus, no? I think its supposed to highlight that this fight was so bad he had to this just survive, imagine how much worse the fight was with Horus that he did it and didn't survive. But as you said, Graham McNeill. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287690-the-wolf-of-ash-and-fire/#findComment-3623629 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Garrett Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Kol: I may be spewing vitriol where none is needed, as I don't see the jump from "Offed a Titan sized Warboss" to "Could Eat The Chaos Gods" myself. I do wonder why Ye Soul Killing Supernova Eye Beams were busted out on the Ork, since IIRC Horus got zapped by them so the Chaos Gods couldn't resurect him, and that's not how Gork and Mork operate, but whatever.

Marshal Rohr Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 This story was my favorite thing McNeill has ever written. Mechanicum is a close second.
