depthcharge12 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I liked it, but for those who haven't read his NL's trilogy, it won't have much impact on you. I liked the story but...... Â Â WHY IN THE HELL ARE WE RETURNING TO THE ISSTVAAN MASSACRE?!?! Â Â BL has already beat this topic to death, buried it, and held the funeral. Can we please for the love of God just move on to something else? Like there are 7 whole years between the massacre and Terra - I'm sure all these different writers could concoct something. I mean I love Bligh's tactical overlay of some of the battles happening, but there's little drama or writing about anything. And I don't mean the million stories written by Kyme or about the shattered legions. Â Let's please move on to something else.

Fire Golem Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 It's only a short story, it's not like they've written another novel on it or anything. And it's the Night Lords, which I welcome anything about.

Â Â WHY IN THE HELL ARE WE RETURNING TO THE ISSTVAAN MASSACRE?!?! Let's please move on to something else. Â As much as I agree with you in terms of the series itself, try to bear the context in mind. This isn't a Horus Heresy story that's "returning to Isstvan" and diverting the series flow. It's a free short story about the characters from the Night Lords Series, showing a little of what they were up to when the Heresy began.

Lord Tharand Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I enjoyed the first installment. Â There were little elements that made me smile like the disordered pile of trophy tokens. Â The Night Lords, of all the legions, amuse me the most in the fiction because they remind me of a pride of evil lions. Â They work together and call each other brother but they're always trying to dominate the others.

BL are tsking the mickey with the 'progressive' books. Â This book has singlehandedly provided more information about a legion to which we have had no previous knowledge from a first hand point of view (outside of two small shorts) in that short extract than anything else we have had in those 3 books listed above.

Or why not during the actual battles of the heresy?  In other words:  1.) It's a free story. Yay!  2.) Its by one of two consistently good authors. Yay!!!  3.) It has Malcharion playing a lead role. Triple yay!  4.) It's leading up to Isstvaan. Boner killer.  Does it have potential to be awesome? Of course. Does it reflect a bit on the NLs decision to join the heresy and the hilarity that ensues (looking at you, guy who said Emps is ultimate authority)?  I guess I'm just hung up on the whole Isstvaan thing. It just feels like we are stuck and will never see what happens during the actual heresy, you know, when humanity is descending into galaxy wide chaos.

depthcharge12 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Yes. Â I'd be willing to pull my foot out of my mouth and stop scheming to kill ADB's buddy Eddie to steal his Dark Angels if ADB would make a novel on Malcharion and First Claw before during and after the Heresy. Â Malcharion is a bit of an oddity within his legion and it would be nice to see him in a full length novel. Even if it meant fighting my beloved Dark Angels :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311089-new-hh-short-story-massacre/#findComment-4122555 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Malcharion is a bit of an oddity within his legion.... Â A Bit? His Primarch likened him to an Ultramarine. A Night Lord, called an Ultramarine-at-heart, by the liege of the Night Lords. Â I would've giggled, if I wasn't impressed with maintaining such a mentality amongst a Legion of unstable throat-slitters. That'd be like being a former partier and recovering alcoholic hanging out at the bar with his trashed buddies, every day, and never having a sip of booze.
