Tallarn: Ironclad

Recommended Posts

Enjoy! Despite my griping about how it's been advertised, it's a superb book regardless of how long it is! Very, very good.

 

Did you buy it at the Weekender? I'm excited! And picked up Straken too (eBook) for the Service Stud...

 

If only you got them for physical purchases :P

I couldn't make it to the Weekender but luckily for me, a friend was going so he picked up Ironclad, Blades of the Traitor and The Eagle's Talon/Iron Corpses for me.

I really enjoyed Straken - as an old-school Guard player from many moons ago, any book with Colonel Straken, Sly Marbo and Nork Deddog in it is automatically a winner as far as I'm concerned! smile.png

How many studs have you got now? Are you up to 6 yet?

Definitely a lucky boy! Great to see I've got stuff to look forward to!

I've not yet bought the Advent Calender collection... so I'm only on three! Hoping I'll get there... Have you done it?

Ooh, not long left to get the last three! I've hit six, yeah. Helped that BL were allowing purchases at last year's Weekender count, so I filled up pretty quickly there.

 

It's going to be interesting to see what happens once we hit April. Word is that the scheme will start again from scratch, but I've not heard anything confirmed...

Halfway through it, and it's predictably brutal in places.

 

Loving the intrigue bits too, and I'm guessing the embossed daemonettes on the cover offer a clue, and link back to the Angel Exterminatus and their journey through the black hole. Merely speculating though, no spoilers

 

 

 

bit diappointed with this to be honest

big tank battle, oribital war, virus bombing. yeah, we knew all that

 

it serves as a background to horus sending an emmisary to find out what the hell perturabo is playing at

then we have multiple layers of intrigue care of the alpha legion (working for alpharius) and a vanus assassin to find out why they are really there, and the purpose of the war, beyond it being a vast arms/tank store and en route to terra

 

basically, the black hole spat them out there, as the cursus of algamar is on tallarn (more background on that here)

i'm guessing they were guided there by the black occulus navigators

perturabo wants it for power, but it's not really explored

horus is pissed at perturabo for wanting said power/plot device

they find it right at the end, but nothing develops

 

then the iron warriors get the hell out of dodge

 

what was the point?

Basically, in answer to hopkins - Perturabo at this point still hates Chaos' guts. I believe this takes place after Angel Exterminatus so he's really against Chaos right now, so he's finding a weapon so that he can nuke all Chaos followers if it comes to that. The reason the IW get the hell out of there isn't 100% explained but Horus' emissary had with him some sort of warp-based proxy for Horus himself who tells Perturabo to 'kneel', I'm assuming because Horus (who at this point afaik has been to Molech already, so he's godly) has some warp shenanigans basically forces Perturabo to do his bidding.

Sorry for the Threadomancy.

 

I just received Tallarn: Ironclad and Tallarn: Executioner in the post from BL.

 

Which one is set first?

 

You don't have to read them in any specific order, but chronologically, Ironclad takes place after Executioner.

 

In fact, if you want to read/listen to everything about Tallarn, this is the chronological order (though again, the stories are quite independent):

1. Black Oculus (link between Angel Exterminatus and Tallarn: Executioner)

2. Tallarn: Executioner (opening shots)

3. The Eagles Talon

4. Iron Corpses

5. Tallarn: Ironclad

6. Tallarn: Witness (very short story set at the end of the campaign)

Vanus assassin was cool. AL operatives were cool. Horus emmissary was great. But still wonna know what the heck happened to the Golden Fleet later on?

 

And why the fleet admiral (rogue trader) decided to shoot every side - clear the atmosphere and simply leave? Any ideas?
