DarKnight Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Was there any fluff between Fallen Angels and Savage Weapons that covered the Thramas Crusade? Thanks!

Silent Observant Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Prince of Crows has the end of the Thramas Crusade, definitely worth a read! Book 8 or 9 of the forgeworld series will most likely be Thramas Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318286-thramas-crusade-fluff/#findComment-4278843 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book 8 or 9 of the forgeworld series will most likely be Thramas I was actually looking for the beginning of the Thramas Crusade. I've read Savage Weapons onwards including The Lion, Prince of Crows, A Safe And Shadowed Place, through Unremembered Empire, The Long Night and Pharos. I assume it's either Fallen Angels or Fulgrim that dovetails straight into Savage Weapons with nothing in between pertaining to the Thramas Crusade.

Marshal Loss Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Very much looking forward to FW covering Thramas - I feel like it was a bit of a missed opportunity for BL given how long they spent in other areas.

1ncarnadine Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Very much looking forward to FW covering Thramas - I feel like it was a bit of a missed opportunity for BL given how long they spent in other areas. But, you know, once they get to the siege of terra they can still write stories that take place before then, or write full arcs in a novel that span the whole heresy. So between that and FW's coverage I'm not too concerned.

So between that and FW's coverage I'm not too concerned. That's true. This is Black Library we're talking about though, a 45 part series on the Shattered Legions & Isstvan V still feels more likely to me In all seriousness, with Imperium Secundus coming to a close and the rumoured 'Gauntlet' (Terra) arc beginning I'd bet that they will be too busy with the repercussions surrounding that to do Thramas in the conceivable future.

HeritorA Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Thramas should be epic. Especially the last cataclysmic battle. All hail/praise the Forge World and Alan Bligh! Maybe we will get it from them, lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318286-thramas-crusade-fluff/#findComment-4279170 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaSY Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Thramas Crusade is underrated yet epic tale of both legions with strong specialization in enacting judgments and punishments. From Thief of Revelations, Magnus described Thramas Crusade: ‘This is Tsagualsa, the carrion-world of the Night Haunter. A place of murder and torment, where the screams of the dying are never-ending. A place from which my brother wages a campaign of genocide. It is from here that he was sent to fight the First Legion of the Lion.’ They spun through the system, past worlds dead and worlds ravaged by conflict, mayhem and the collateral damage of two Legions at war. Ahriman felt his gaze drawn towards the system’s edge, where a vicious battle raged in the void, two fleets battering at one another at close range. Intermingled warships engaged in broadside brawls, filling the space between them with high explosive ordnance and criss-crossing las-fire. Wrecks blazed from prow to stern and split apart as their keels broke under intense gravometric pressures. Ahriman saw thousands of soul-lights flickering out of existence, lives lost by the hundreds every second. ‘This is the death rattle of the Thramas Crusade,’ said Magnus, grimly. Ahriman spun around the battle, a ghost of light bearing witness to the cold, airless slaughter. The black ships bearing the winged sword were in the ascendance, reaping a dreadful tally among the midnight ships of the Night Lords, but it seemed the VIII Legion was not seeking a decisive engagement. Magnus went on. ‘For two years they have beaten themselves bloody against one another, but with this battle, the war is over and my brothers retire to lick their wounds.’ ‘Who was the victor?’ ‘That remains to be seen, though the Dark Angels still bear with them the seeds of their own destruction. In such times, can anyone be called the victor?’That passage alone makes Thramas Crusade deserves more exposures than Calth or Istvaan themselves, excuse and forgive my vengeance and retribution Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318286-thramas-crusade-fluff/#findComment-4279289 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Observant Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 @HaSY agreed, I imagine the night lords committing their genocide and the first legion unleashing themselves and their arsenals upon them! I can't wait for forge world to get there! Most likely within the next year with retribution being released in a couple weeks, then prospero at the end of the year. It's been said it could be the thramas and signus after that or the shadow crusade and under ground calth war, I'm hoping for thramas!

HeritorA Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Book 7 is Prospero. Book 8 is a continuation for Ultramar. End of Shadow Crusade and Underworld War Silent Observant Book 6 Retribution contain only the campaign fluff for the Shattered legions. Don't think it would contain epic/big battles - due to shattered legions being 'shattered' Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318286-thramas-crusade-fluff/#findComment-4280066 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilofix Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 The question is, which book will the First Legion be in? There's a good chance Thramas will be there.

Silent Observant Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Actually @HeritorA Atia and her little birds have said in the news section that her source the "eye" has speculated the next book after prospero will be called Angels which will have blood angels and dark angels. It is in the WW birthday thread in the news section if you want to check me. I highly trust Atia with what she says as she has been correct on many rumors, of course forge world can change these things on a whim but as she is the source of most facts and rumors I would ask her and check your information before further argument!

HaSY Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 After Retribution, Prospero is definitely likely to happen. Any information from Atia is actually highly regarded and I trust her. Angels!Not just Thramas, I believe DA also attack the Forge World of Sarum and fighting against Dark Mechanicum.

DarKnight Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Just like Magnus, to proclaim the doom of the I Legion while his own Sons degenerate into spawn before his eye.

Felix Antipodes Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Definitely a missed opportunity wrt BL coverage of the Thramas battlefront. I hope they go back to it at a later date or that Gav Thorpe provides some more background on it in his upcoming novel.

HeritorA Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 b1soul - 'Thramas derserved a full blown novel...instead we got Deathfire '. So fethingly true! 'any information from Atia is actually highly regarded and I trust her. Angels!' - true. But several years ago at HH event it was announced that book 6 would be Prospero. Instead several years later we have Retribution and Shattered Legions.

HaSY Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I do recall that there was one time where FW rather have Dark Mechanicum than doing BA+DA book (Signus, Thramas, Sarum). The thing about Inferno is that it is always neither here nor there despite much concepts and battle testing have been done for 1K Sons, Wolves, Custodes and Sisters of Silence. (Quite substantial amount actually) Oh ya, not forgetting Book 6 supposed to have Shadow Crusade, Argel Tal, Underworld War... lolWhite Scars is supposed to be the last legion though it now will be partially shown.Book 6 = 3 Loyalist Legions. Shattered Legion + Traitors in Loyalist legions. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318286-thramas-crusade-fluff/#findComment-4284145 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Observant Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Some interesting tidbit's from the forgeworld novel is that the Thramas sector contains 3 Forgeworlds that were loyalists Triplex Galatia, Triplex Thule, and Triplex Phall were there names. Between them they produced almost all the loyalist's large warship building capactity in the Ultima Segmentum which means they had made alot of both of the fleets of Nocturne and Ultramar! The Dark Angels were close to these worlds and the night lords lured them in so that they could protect these vital worlds! Epic! this is in HH book Conquest pg 146. And in Tempest the worlds of the Thramas sector were described being found after the conflisct as "broken and rad-scoured" truly Epic in Scope indeed!
