Death and Defiance

I thought of this too late when the Talon of Horus ebook finally released and we had the discussion with AD-B, but this is the type of thing we were whining about. None of us begrudge BL making money but it feels like the HH novels only went to hardcover because we the fans made it insanely popular, so now it feels like the same fans are getting taken advantage of. Maybe I'm just bitching because capitalism but it isn't necessary for every novel to be hardcover is it? Or that BL has to tease us incessantly every time a novel is released? Jeez, enough is enough already.

Whats the page count... surly BL isn't selling a full novel length Hardback anthology for only $27 aus??

Also agree with DarKnight, as you all know me and my hatred regarding GW/BL sales taktics well enough by now. A hatred that runs even deeper with the advent of "SUper-Awesome_Dude-Bro" "First Edition" hardbacks dry.png

Not gonna lie, the description of every story included sounds fantastic. Gonna have to see if this hits any of my local bookstores.

Well i isn't supposed to hit GE stores until like next year or so and its usually a year after that the paperbacks start getting released so it might be a while. But after seeing the $22 shipping and handling fee just for standard shipping, I wouldn't blame you on the wait.

I feel like that NL story will hopefully explain how Curze gets back to his legion and the happenings of Sevatar.

 

Even better yet I hope the DAs make another cameo and come out swinging.

 

 

The virtuous sons sounds good and I'm sure ADBs Wolf story will be pretty dece but I look at Swallow and Kyme and just sigh. The other stories seem to progress the story and/or character development while these guys play around with the obvious.

 

 

Will the assassin kill Horus? He has a great shot! Except well, plot armor...

 

Fulgrim and Ferrus have a chess game! Obvious Slaanesh is obvious!

Howl of the Hearthworld is one of my most anticipated reads of the year. I cannot wait to see AD-B's take on heresy era Wolves.

 

A liberal sprinkling of ADB or volkites makes the world go round.

Fulgrim rubs his nips with each move
The lines on the board are just warp dust that he snorts in between moves

Yes, unfortunately, the shipping is always painful. I'll definitely be waiting for them to find their own way across the pond, before I snatch one. You should see my receipts for shipping from FW to Texas, when I bought my HH tomes. Had to get rid of a few head of cattle just to cover it!

Maybe its just his body then, after all he did give his head to Horus as a gift

 

But then that makes it worse doesnt it?

Ferrus: "My body is ready"
 

 

Back on topic, James Swallow with ANOTHER assassination atempt on Horus... We know they obviously fail Jimmy, give us something new

I've been thinking maybe the assassination story is set during the same assassination attempt as Nemesis? I mean, it's still nothing new but at leasr It wouldn't be a whole other assassination attempt.

Possible but dont forget there was already another assassination attempt hidden in there right in the beginning when the mere mortal assassin thought he could evade 20 Astartes and get close enough to kill a Primarch with "Baalite thirst water" (Jimmy Swolz couldnt just leave a novel without a Blood Angel referance could he)

 

I found it very difficult to get through Nemesis, just the constant niggle at the back of my head saying "your wasting your time, you already know they obviously fail". 

I actually really liked Nemesis, thought it was a good change of pace and something different.

Yes, if giving reviews or dropping spoilers, please be sure to use spoiler tags for those of us who cannot immediately snatch up a new BL goodie.

Short, unspoilery reviews from MiyamotoMushasi there, post #11.

 

It looks decent, not mega excited though. I like the Wolves honour guard thing so I'm looking forward to Howl of the Hearthworld. A Safe and Shadowed Place looks to be the best of the bunch though.
