Landrick Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Have any of you seen this yet? http://www.talkwargaming.com/2015/06/black-library-advance-review-legacy-of.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Talkwargaming+%28TalkWargaming%29 There dont seem to be any spoilers from what I can tell. Anyway, what are your thoughts DA players? This article has me (a BA) player excited and wanting to know more. I have always wanted to like the DA, but my perception of the whole "hunting fallen > any else" and "none can question our deep brooding secrets" air made them inaccessible to me. This really makes me question that. What do y'all think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epimetheus13 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Great find of a review! I'm psyched for it. I' especially keen to see how/if the Successors are portrayed, particularly as I run Guardians of the Covenant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Was this part of a trilogy or something? I've only read Angels of Darkness before, are there others I should read before this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoic Raptor Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I've read Angels of Darkness but I've been apprehensive to read the Legacy of Caliban series because of the sometimes horrible liberties that Gav Thorpe takes with the established Dark Angels canon. He has no regard for progression through the ranks and an utter disdain for the way the Inner Circle should operate. It's like "Oops! You found out about the Fallen somehow? Guess what, you're Inner Circle now." Or worse yet, "I have to tell you about the Fallen, so I guess I'll have to make you Inner Circle." Gav Thorpe is no Aaron Dembski-Bowden, that's for damn sure. As much as I love reading about Dark Angels, Gav will never pen the likes of "For the Fallen". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Was this part of a trilogy or something? I've only read Angels of Darkness before, are there others I should read before this one? Where have you been ? Yes it's the last part of the Legacy of Caliban trilogy. The other two books being Ravenwing and Master of Sanctity. I've yet to read any of them. But might now make the effort . Thanks for the review find Landrick. Cheers I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I Lol I've been in heresy land where the sum of ADB's angels and Abnett's Spiritual Liege Lion are better than the whole of Thorpe's 40k angels. I've only read AoD and The Lion, but the latter was kinda meh. I've been a bit turned off from his books but the review sounded good :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheForgottenAngel Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I highly recommend the trilogy. The description of Astelans armor is very detailed and is the basis of my HH praetors armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allart01 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 You don't see me around this forum very much, but I've been playing Dark Angels since 2008 and they are my largest -and most loved- 40k army. And I do not really care about the new codex. BUT I CAN'T HOLD MY HYPE FOR THIS BOOK! Expecially after this review, I just want to know what happens.

Sagan Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 So, dose anyone have a idea of when Black Library going to have the E book up on its site so we can buy it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 At the same time as the paper book release I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagan Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 So, is that when the codex release? Not finding a date anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volt Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Good to see that Astelan seemingly bit the dust. One less scheming Fallen spreading deceit that even confuses the meta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
