Heresy book IV...conquest?

Still under Seminars, the After Isstvan one says,

 

"Not all of the Legions emerged from the Dropsite Massacre quite as they entered it. What is next for the Iron Hands, Salamanders, Night Lords and Alpha Legion!"

 

Um, what did happen to the Night Lords and Alpha Legion?! I'm pretty sure they left the DSM in the same state they entered it...

Great find, unfortunately I now learn that unless I can do a Dr Manhattan and simultaneously co-exist in multiple rooms I'm still going to miss stuff!

Does anyone have any idea how many tickets there were for the weekender? I gave up going to Games Day after 2009 which was 75% queuing. It would be nice if an hour long signing session with three authors doesn't entail picking one to queue for.

The book with Blood Angels is supposed to have Dark Angels and the first bits of Dark Mechanicum in it. The title doesn't makes sense for Signus though, since no one conquered anything.

 

I think, of all of them, it makes the most sense. The other two are not about conquests, they are about the destruction of another Legion, or of the legion's ability to take part in the war. Conquest usually implies the taking of something by force.

 

Signus, on the other hand, could be seen as a conquest. The Blood Angels were sent to Signus to conquer it once more in the name of the Emperor, for it had gone dark for unknown reasons. In truth, they were sent there to be conquered in the name of the Warmaster.

 

But, as mentioned, it could be intended as a more generic title. As the first books were about the opening moments of the betrayal, these middle books are more on the sweeping progress of the Warmaster, which is now being depicted less as a spear for the throat and more as a fraction of the Imperium conquering the rest in the name of a new ruler. If so, I feel that Calth is the more appropriate for such a book.

Maybe it's a campaign book with extended background and the entire crusade list? Maybe for games in the great crusade

 

That would be really awesome to see but I don't see why they would put it after the first trilogy unless they're using the delay of Prospero to consolidate everything they have already.
