Conn Eremon Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 That's what I love about the Abnett. He isn't restricted from other Legions. He just hops down from his immensely tall pedestal and remarks "I'mma make the First Legion awesome now" and everyone else just gets the hell out of his way. And yes, I know there is no true restriction, but it is clear that most authors are cmpletely focus on a particular Legion or two only Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289272-upcoming-horus-heresy-books/page/3/#findComment-3650016 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millicant Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I love Dan Abnett. I love Dark Angels. I love the poo in my pants from the combination of these wonderful things. Please let that be true and not a rumor, otherwise I will have broadcast my dirty shorts to the whole world for nothing.

helterskelter Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 i think im the only person left on this forum that still isn't bothered either way what dan abnett does or not. should i feel dirty? i'd quite like sarah cawkwell to have a heresy shot Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289272-upcoming-horus-heresy-books/page/3/#findComment-3650488 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Eremon Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Yes, you should feel dirty for that. I feel dirty just reading it. But a lot of us would like the Silver Skulls lady to take a crack at the Heresy.

A blamming squad is on it's way. As for Cawkwell, quite a few of us would really enjoy it if she did. After talking with her...there seem to be a few problems with having her able to do it. One is the pecking order (which Abnett can skirt around easily) and another is that BL is very picky about what is being written IIRC I think that if we made a fan coalition (lol) we could push to give her a novel if she so wanted.

I would ask her again to see if she's interested in doing it and if she's fine with us petitioning :) As for pecking order...yeah it's kinda draconian to say the least.

Knight of the Raven Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Dan Abnett and Dark Angels? Dan "EMPEROR'S EXECUTIONERS BECAUSE YOU" Abnett? Not looking forward to it. And yes, I know there is no true restriction, but it is clear that most authors are cmpletely focus on a particular Legion or two only Didn't A D-B say a few times that he wanted to write a few things about Legion so and so and was forbidden to because someone else called dibs on it?

Conn Eremon Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I seem to remember him saying otherwise, but whatevs. As for Dan Abnett and the VI, I am sorry, but I steadfastly refuse to blame an author for something we should be blaming certain fans for.

I agree. Especially with how Abnett wrote UE and included others view of them as "the executioners" (most likely with hindsight). I think some of the authors have commented within the BL that they didn't expect a rabid response out of the fans - pun intended ;) Speaking of UE have you read the Dark Angel parts KotR? Seems pretty good so far even with Curze burning through them like they weren't even there. He sets up a good background for them - six wings, esoteric weapons, self dependency to explain secret nature - not to mention the fact that Bobby G. considers the Lion his Spiritual Liege :P Lol sure to get flak on that last one though haha Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289272-upcoming-horus-heresy-books/page/3/#findComment-3650746 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Raven Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Good points.My thought of the restrictions came from this post, which I reread when I found it.

Perrin Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 The best portrayal of the Dark Angels so far (imo) was in the two short stories, The Lion and Savage Weapons, by Gav Thorpe and ADB respectively. Wasn't a fan of the Lion in UE, too different from past portrayals, so not really as excited about this as everyone else seems to be Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289272-upcoming-horus-heresy-books/page/3/#findComment-3650933 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a huge Dark Angels fan (/player/collector/modeler) and I've been so disappointed with every portrayal until Unremembered Empire - which I LOVED! So I am very very excited for Mr. Abnett to take a crack at the mighty and glorious First Legion.

Sons of Horus Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I just don't like how Abnett changes the lore so radically everytime he writes another novel. The Dark Angels were captured perfectly in Savage Weapons. ADB should write everything Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289272-upcoming-horus-heresy-books/page/3/#findComment-3650991 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Garrett Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I don't see any glaring differences between the Lord of Caliban in Savage Weapons & his portrayal in Unremembered Empire. At least, not compared how Gav Thorpe wrote him in The Lion, where he was killing his own Legionaires at the slightest provocation while sitting all alone in dark rooms and babbling to himself, and the overall impression this reader got was that someone had cut and pasted "Lion'El Johnson" and "Dark Angels" into a story that was originally about Konrad Curze and the Night Lords.

helterskelter Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Is there an instance in the novels where curze killed his own men? Fulgrims men, dorns, guillimans, coraxs, vulkans, russ'. Painted sevs hands red and blew up his homeworld, can't recall him doing it to his own though. Sevatar did.
