Kilofix Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 So between the SW, DW, Ordos, and SoB ones, which would you say would be decent reads? I wouldn't mind buying them all if they're all decent reads but I havent heard much from others about any of them. For comparison, I was happy enough to get and read McCragges Honor at its price point. Thanks for the opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I'm not entirely sure if BL sell the story atm - I can't seem to find it on their website. But if you can find the two graphic novels (first printed over a decade ago) going second-hand, I recommend getting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelborn Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 There are two BT graphic novels as well. The first one, think it's Damnation Crusade, is really good. Liked it a lot and read it nomerous times. (written by Abnett) The second one, don't know the english name, was ok. Story was quite predictable and I didn't like the way of drawing. If you can get a example, get Damnation Crusade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron-Daemon Forge Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Bloodquest comic - Not sure if Black Library still have it or as part of a Blood Angel book they had as a order only? It was a comic strip that was part of Warhammer Monthly, around a small group of Blood Angels exiles. Battle Orks & chaos. It a three serise story, art work really cool & I know I've use the comic for a lot conversion & general get idea for my own Chaos models. Lone Wolves is also a good comic. Then, as said there on Warhammer Monthly. Games Workshop use to sell a monthy comic range from one off stories to one that would go on. Bloodquest & then Redeemer that Olis has posted where part of this. There was a cool comic strip that went on for a few issue on the 13th Black Crusade. You may need to check ebay as they've been gone for a long time. But it seem Black Library are bring some of the stories back, like Lone Wolves & recently the one on the Sister of Battle that out tomorrow I belive?

Aqui Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 And of course there is Daemonifuge, a graphic novel about Ephrael Stern an Adepta Sororitas that BL have recently put back on sale I don't remember specifics, but I enjoyed it enough to finish it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob P Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I've not been impressed by a Warhammer comic or graphic novel. They're usually quite superficial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firepower Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Damnation Crusade. Tasty stuff, the glory days of the Black Templars fluff The art from comic to comic changes wildly though, and sometimes it's rather....odd. But really, so awesome. Just look at the first two pages of the series: http://i.imgur.com/JxvXaWb.jpg http://i.imgur.com/guxzLYV.jpg Bad assery set to 11.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkangilos Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Blood Quest is great, and it is in the Book of Blood, but I'd recommend finding the three full comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilofix Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 Looks like I'll have to scour eBay. Edit - Managed to score BQ 1-2 and DC 1-6. Still looking for BQ 3. May get Lone Wolf and Inquisitor new from GW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volt Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Deff Skwadron is certainly one of the best 40k comics ever released. Honestly you should go digging on the internet for them all. 40K has a lot more comics than just the ones on the Templars and Sisters of Battle, starring everybody from Vindicare Assassins to the Imperial Navy. IIRC most of them were published under Apocalypse titles if you can find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get a example, get Damnation Crusade. The second one is Exterminatus. The production seems rushed, with a cliche story and confusing artwork- the Inquisitor and one of his prisoners have such similar character designs, the artist actually mixed them up! I second your recommendation for 'Damnation Crusade'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malios Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I stand by the statement that deff skwadron is an awesome graphic novel. Here is a quote to show why I enjoyed it: "The best means of defence is attack and the best means of attack is a really big one with lots of boys and dead big shooty things and what have ya," said legendary ork smartboy Dreg Zog. Wise words indeed, and ones closely followed by warboss Badthug as he mounts his counter-attack against his arch rival: Warboss Grimlug. Unfortunately for Badthug, Grimlug seems to have read more of the book then the opening chapter... "Jobs a bad'un boss! The boys are takin a pastin' out there!"

Arkangilos Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Orks are one of the most terrifying, yet the most fun of everyone. Honestly, if I had to be anything other than a human, I'd be an Ork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoebus Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Purely subjective opinion follows:Bloodquest was the first 40k novel graphic I read. The story is fairly straightforward. The characters aren't particularly nuanced. The artwork is much better than what I expected for the most part, but the action shots feel very static. Lone Wolves enjoys better artwork, but the story was just not what I hope for. Mind you, I read this before I read any Dan Abnett novels, and, in hindsight, the plot and dialogue disappoint me. Macragge's Honour is absolutely beautiful, but it reads much more like a series of illustrations for a movie production/screenplay. All the same, I don't regret a single penny I spent on it. As a former art major and a fan of all things sequential arts, I really do wish Black Library would put more effort in this area. I believe that a picture is worth a thousand words, and that graphic novels have the possibility to inject incredible vision into the world of Warhammer 40k to life. I absolutely respect the power of the written word, but I would argue that Black Library novels don't always convey the majesty and scale of the setting.

Perry Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Blood and Thunder by Boom comics was a good read. It's about a Ork nobs rise to power, however much of the story features a captured Tallarn officer and his attempts to fight back against his captures.
