Skalpynock Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I figured since they all appear to be Techmarines they were there for training and got caught up in the action. Well, two of them definitely look the part with the servo arm and the mechadendrites, respectively, and you could in theory get away with attributing the Raven Guard as a techmarine too but what about the Fist and the Ultramarine? Neither of the look particularly techmarine-ish (barring the bionic eye)... The Fist wouldn't need to be one, they were the actual marines force sent to purge Mars.

Emperors Teeth Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Some of them might be future techmarines who haven't been on Mars long. I don't imagine they get an in-flight activity pack containing red paint and a flat-packed servo harness...

SkimaskMohawk Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Not too pleased on the 40k skitarri being there. Being able to use pretty much any concept from blanche and turn it into awesome art, they instead go with the skitarri seargent (including pose) of the box plus friends and onagers in the back. How BL has fallen.... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311090-new-hh-novel-cybernetica/page/2/#findComment-4123710 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of the look particularly techmarine-ish (barring the bionic eye)... The Ultramarine could of been a new inductee so only had minor bionics before hand and hadn't yet received his servo arm? The fist was probably just part of the force sent a long with the techmarines.

Slips Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 At this point its all assumption but it would be interesting to see the inner workings of such a Techmarine A-Team and how their potential varying degrees of induction into the secrets of the Mechanicum Impacts them as Marines let alone how their Legion Heritage Conflicts with their tutelage. Id especially be interested in the perspective of a Raven Guard Techmarine; something weve more or less never seen!

Tymell Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Alas, another limited ed. novella. This aside, I like the look of this. The artwork is cool, we're getting back to Mars, and the idea of a techmarine-in-training group sounds like it's got good potential.

The Lord of Iron Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I'm all for more horus heresy novels, but this limited edition thing has gotten too regular. It was novel when it was one every year and a half or so but now its starting to price readers out of content, and in some cases even limit the number of readers. Limited released in the last two years. Cybernetica The Seventh Serpent The Purge Tallarn - Ironclad Scorched Earth Tallarn Executioner Corax Soulforge while the last two received normal prints (two years later) the remaining books have not, some having taken weeks if not months to sell out a few thousand copies.

Compare to novel releases since then: Betrayer Vulkan Lives Scars Unremembered Empire Vengeful Spirit The Damnation of Pythos Deathfire There have been more limited edition releases than actual novel releases over the 2.5 years. I know the limited ed. ones are shorter, but even so, that's just absurd.

Kais Klip Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Also that Raven Guard Legionary must get sick of people mistaking him for an Iron Hand.That's clearly Meduson, with half as much grey matter and twice as much iron giving that subterfuge thing a go. Small steps and buckets of white paint wins the race. Those 'Hands just keep on grinding. And as for the techmarines, here's hoping we get our own little alternative heresy amongst the Astartes mechanics.

I know the limited ed. ones are shorter, but even so, that's just absurd. I think it says it all that I actually glossed over one of the limited editions which I own. Its loosing its special feel. although I wouldn't count sedition gate as an event exclusive release, and a short story compilation. Personally I think some of the best writing of the horus heresy series occurs in short stories so I don't get so worked about them. Plus if we count those we get; Blades of the Traitor Death and Defiance Legacies of Betrayal Sedition's Gate The Imperial Truth Mark of Calth And if we add those to the novellas it makes Black library sound worse. Which is not what i wanted to do. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311090-new-hh-novel-cybernetica/page/2/#findComment-4124025 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sothalor Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Don't worry, it'll be exclusively limited to X number of copies, and still be available... I'm going to guess 5 months down the road it still won't have sold out, if the trends these days holds true.

m_r_parker Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I was stoked or this, really I was, and now I'm losing my enthusiasm. £30 Limited Edition of 128 pages The galling thing is, the overall idea of it sounds really good, and very different from the last 10 or so books. We're away from the Shattered Legions and Isstvan, and we're back in the Sol system - Mars specifically. We've got more Mechanicum (hopefully), some more FIst and a wide spread of represented Legions, and the premise is excellent. I'm guessing it must be about the presence of the Dark Mechanicum on Mars, the continued internal civil war on the Red Planet, and the Siglette deciding "We can't have these guys so close to Terra, sod it, kill them all!". Throw in some good character development, some decent Mechanicum characters, and lots of intrigue from the likes of Malcador and Dorn, and we have have a really good full-size novel on our hands. 128 pages... £30.... I finished reading Deathfire last week, and I found mself thinking "That was a bad read, shame it was a full-size novel that's part of the main series. Most of the novellas and short stoy collections were better", and now I'm bemoaning yet another LE novel-price but novella-length release.
