HeritorA Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Crimson King is being edited now - would be released in early 2017. How solid is this information? Where does it come from? My understanding is that the book is not finished at all. So what is going on with The Crimson King now? The plot of Magnus the Red, the 3rd Primarch book out April 2017 is Magnus and Perturabo paling around. Meaning the Atharva quote is probably from that rather than the Crimson King, with the book taking place before he goes to Terra. That would also explain the 'it's not a flashback' remark. Is the 'reliable source' getting some crossed wires as there now seem to be 2 books, both by McNeil, but only one with a set release date? The Magnus novella that McNeill was talking about is probably the Magnus Primarchs Book which will be out in a few months. The Crimson King is the other project and as far as we know that is still in process. From mister McNeil - 3/4 of it's is done and on edit. As I understand him - he doesn't finished the last part yet Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319610-crimson-king/page/2/#findComment-4442223 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah32 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Any word on whether this is out this year? I have a theory that it wont be out till next year January maybe? With maybe a x-mas EBook version? Also anyone have any idea what this will be about exactly? I have not seen any blurb for it anywhere?

HeritorA Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Next year or late December/early January release it seems Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319610-crimson-king/page/2/#findComment-4494950 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH79 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Any word on whether this is out this year? I have a theory that it wont be out till next year January maybe? With maybe a x-mas EBook version? Also anyone have any idea what this will be about exactly? I have not seen any blurb for it anywhere? I would hazard a guess that it will most likely be out next year... i think the Magnus Novella as part of the Primarchs series is due in April so potentially after that. i certainly think we can expect a slightly slower pace of things next year, maybe a total of 4 new numbered novel releases including MOM though my money is on that being a Christmas Day special release this year I would say it most likely continues from Thief of Revelations and picks up many of the subtle plot threads scattered throughout the rest of the Heresy where Magnus has either appeared or been name dropped... i.e Deathfire, Scars, Betrayer, The Seventh Serpent etc... though i really hope to see Lucius who's last appearance had him arrive on Magnus's doorstep and maybe others from the Emperors Children... maybe more of the crew from the Sisypheum too!

Taliesin Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Awesome. Now we need to know when it will be out. Could be turned around pretty soon since earlier parts have already been handed in for editing.

DarkChaplain Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I wouldn't be surprised if they'd release it in tandem with the regular release of the Magnus Primachs novella. I doubt it'd work out for a january release along with the limited edition, although a digital pre-release wouldn't quite surprise me anymore.

Mellow Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I'd very much like this book to be awesome. I like reading about Magnus, providing he is not being a moody boy in any of his scenes.

b1soul Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 McNeill's only good work is ATS in my opinion ...so I really hope Crimson King takes after that, not Outcast Dead or AE Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319610-crimson-king/page/2/#findComment-4523317 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Totally agree with you b1. But in my younger days I really enjoyed his Ultramarine storyline. Tried reading it again after AE...

b1soul Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I think McNeill's Ultras are a bit like King's Wolves...good entry points for younger readers into 40K Are they well written...not really...but they're not terrible. The prose is relatively simple and kid-friendly Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319610-crimson-king/page/2/#findComment-4524385 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelborn Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 McNeill's Ultras and Kings Wolves were (along wid Abnetts Ghosts) indeed my introduction concerning fluff. dawn of War got me interested. I enjoyed the books. But nowadays, I'd prefer other stuff. But b1soul is right. They are a good start for younger readers. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319610-crimson-king/page/2/#findComment-4524416 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeLeto69 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 The Uriel Ventris books were, like all of McNeill's work, a bit hit and miss. But I still loved that demon locamotive...weird and wonderful and more akin to the old Ian Watson madness.

DarkChaplain Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I still like Warriors of Ultramar for its oldschool Tyranid invasion and all that. Dead Sky, Black Sun was the low point for me. Lots of cool ideas but too much desert for my taste. The Killing Ground was better again. They're a product of their time, when expectations were different. Taking that into account, they still hold up. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319610-crimson-king/page/2/#findComment-4524644 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelborn Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Hopefully a novel. His TS stuff in ATS was pretty damn good.

Nazguire Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 No mentions for Storm Of Iron? Essential reading I don't feel this novel holds up all that well - it's great when you're 16 but it isn't written overly well. It was sorta ground breaking for Black Library at the time, but nowadays it's easily eclipsed.
