Iron-Daemon Forge Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Next week see the release of Khârn: Eater of Worlds novel by Black Library http://www.blacklibrary.com/warhammer-40000/Khârn-eater-of-worlds-hardback.html The Horus Heresy is over and the Traitor Legions have scattered, fleeing the wrath of a vengeful Imperium. The World Eaters are leaderless, their primarch missing and their greatest hero, Khârn, in a coma. The surviving World Eaters have turned upon themselves, the Butcher’s Nails driving them to ever greater acts of berserk savagery. Poised on the brink of destruction, the Legion needs a leader. It needs Khârn – but will his awakening save them, or doom them entirely? Khârn is one of the most iconic figures in the Warhammer 40,000 setting, the epitome of Khorne's mortal servants. In this story, you can witness his transition from the Captain of the World Eaters Eighth Company who stood against the Emperor during the Horus Heresy, to the Blood-mad betrayer that he becomes.

Sith’ari Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Niiiice! I'm always ready for some more Khârn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetterOffShred Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Sold! I also love me some Khârn whenever possible. I really dig the model too despite it being an older metal sculpt, I think it was my first actual order from GW. Looking forward to a brutal story! -Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevak Dal Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Wasn't this the novel they released along the Butcherhorde thing? I bought it then, it was okay. The part where he wakes up was pretty awesome-along with the "I won't start this fight-but I will finish it." line and the ensuing chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malios Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I thought Khârn: Eater of Worlds was well written, tieing in nicely with both the Horus Heresy series and later 40k audio dramas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petitioner's City Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Was this the book which had an image of Khârn enthoned on a throne of skulls? I remember he was in the medlab for much of the book, but i remember that more stygian image - a reflection of the Golden Throne - in something....

Lord Asvaldir Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 New books related to an army on GW's site usually means an upcoming release for that army, at least recently, which is one reason I'm excited to see the book coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prot Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Thanks for the update IP. I'm definitely going to pick this up.... ironically I probably won't get into Daemonkin, but the World Eaters are always cool. I hope Khârn comes off as intelligent as he's been written by ADB.

Slayer le Boucher Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Its a really cool piece of work. I enjoyed it wholehearthly, and at the end of the book, i was like"who the heck told that World eaters doesn't use tactics?". Ok Khârn's tactics is pretty straitghforward, but darn effective!!.

Deadman Wade Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Every book with Khârn is awesome by default. Can't wait to read it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornestar Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I liked the book, wasn't half-bad. Wish the Emperor's Children character wasn't in it, but he didn't ruin the book or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron-Daemon Forge Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Little bit further, page 144? The Bloodborn unit are pretty cool. 7 Battle Brother, had a black hand print on there armour to show they will fight to the death no matter what. Be a pretty cool Kill Team unit to convert up. Few bits from page 88: They were Bloodborn - warriors oath-sworn to a death mission. They came for diffrent reasons: resentment, jealousy; a long harboured grudge; fatalism. Only their blood-pledge united them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infyrana Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Little bit further, page 144? Would love to know more about them as a group for that very reason you put :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebris Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I have read the book and I must say that I really loved the narrative. The finale was properly apocalyptic an the author has done a good build up which was neither slow nor in the realm of bolter porn. I like his version of the Emperor's Children who despite the mutations, the devotion to Slaanesh and their occult practices they still fight, think and act as real III Legion astartes. I think it is a must read for both World Eaters and Emperor's Children fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornestar Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 TAKE HIS SKULL! Was a pretty awesome scene in the final battle. Stupid science-project prettyboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Of War Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I certainly hope that there will be a follow up novel that continues into the Battle of Skalathrax, i'd love to see some more full on battle scenes with the same sense of momentum as Kharns first combat in this novel. I'm not usually a fan of the Emperor's Children, but i do love the description of their commander, with his lack of eyelids and extra long tongue for keeping his eyeballs moist.

Scribe Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I believe it was mentioned that there will be a follow up, it was actually going to be part of the book, but was making it too long? I'd have to go find the quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
