depthcharge12 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-HUSTaaCJoqE/VL_XxngBBVI/AAAAAAAAFBo/euPFGA3ZVjQ/s640/blogger-image--1427563191.jpg Saw this over on battle bunnies, it's an anthology that should be out for the upcoming weekender. Super special awesome cover of Mortarion...though I will add biased opinion that the Death Gaurd have been receiving way more attention and than any other legion out there :/ I speculate that the story with Morty on the cover will be him heading to the galactic east to fight the Dark Angels under Corswain's command as he said he would in Vengeful Spirit. Awesome spread of authors include: Chris Wraight (White Scars...squeee!), John French, and Guy Haley. I'd include Graham McNeill in the list but he's on and off lately. Oh, and who let Nick Kyme write another story? :facepalm: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302416-new-bl-hh-book-blades-of-the-traitor/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ncarnadine Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I would argue the Death Guard are one of the least developed legions fluff-wise (in the novel series anyway), although Chris Wraight has been putting some work in on Mortarion himself. I won't be anywhere near this weekender but am really hopeful there's a good DG story by Wraight in there.... I'll have to get my hands on it somehow if there is :) Also that artwork.

grand_master85 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I'm hoping Guy Haleys story is a continuation of his A Safe and Shadowed Place, the Noght Lords story in Death and Defiance Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302416-new-bl-hh-book-blades-of-the-traitor/#findComment-3928846 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mehman Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Word is this will be available first as an eBook and then as a hardback. That's what BL said in their last email. So I get to read it before all y'all non-computing folks. Yup.

Captain Tezdal Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I'm going to be honest with myself, going to buy this book for the sweet cover. Anything inside it being good is just a bonus.

"Don't judge a book by it's cover" It's a shame that this is the mentality which Black Library are capitalising on to churn out the continual dross like Vengeful Spirit and Damnation of Pythos.

Malios Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I'm completely empathetic that alot of filler is required to give the 18 legions and special characters of the heresy the depth they require and deserve... but I'm really craving a full book that catapults the storyline forward so that the filler chases in the gaps, rather then the filler progressing the storyline.

FallenArtist Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I dig the cover but Mortarion is kind of reminding me of Flavor Flav just instead of a giant clock, its a skull..

Captain Tezdal Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 The embodiment of death doesn't have a war cry, he suprisingly enough reaps in silence, with his scythe Silence.

malika666 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Will this book contain actual new stories, or will it be one of those regurgitated collections again?
