The Red Thirst Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 New Heresy audio drama has landed: http://www.blacklibrary.com/horus-heresy/herald-of-sanguinius-mp3.html Synopsis:Crowned as the new Emperor of Imperium Secundus, Sanguinius of the Blood Angels faces the very real threat of betrayal from within his new realm. As ever, it falls to his Sanguinary Guard to protect the primarch, and Commander Azkaellon must resort to the most dire of measures...Not only is this story a fascinating glimpse into the mind of the Blood Angels Primarch, it also shines light on the origins of another well known character in the history of the IX Legion... EDIT: Ok just finished listening to it... Firstly a Warning - This may not be a story that everyone will like or enjoy, I loved it however I dont think the price was justified.The story is nothing like anything Andy Smillie has writen before, we get insite into just how many sectrets Azkaellon must keep from everyone, and that being crowned 'Emperor' is something that Sanguinius really isnt happy about, huge spoiler right at the end too that I didnt expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilofix Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I read Unremembered Empire but have forgotten the specifics; why ...did Sanguinius accept the position in the first place if he was then go into shut everyone out? Also, it doesn't seem like Sanguinius to shut everyone out but then I didn't actually read Herald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly what I had expected the twist to be. They kinda spoiled it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhx711 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Fiddlesticks! I was so hoping than Azkaellon would turn out to be Sanguinor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Fiddlesticks! I was so hoping than Azkaellon would turn out to be Sanguinor. Could Sanguinor be a title? Azkaellon has herald of Sanguinius at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 The name is just...well meh. It's like the author used Aaron Dembski-Bowden and Megatron (probably two of his favorite bad guys ;)) to make the name Aaratron. Kinda silly if you ask me. I'll never get the idea out of my head now of a SG that looks like ADB and shouts "Decepticons, mobilize!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
