Jareddm Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Laurie Goulding had mentioned that going forward, side stories and characters between the BL books and FW books will cross back and forth, with characters in a novel having their stories ended in a FW book, and vice versa.

1ncarnadine Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Laurie Goulding had mentioned that going forward, side stories and characters between the BL books and FW books will cross back and forth, with characters in a novel having their stories ended in a FW book, and vice versa. Cool to see this confirmed! It's definitely already happening, and I like that it's going to continue. The most prominent example to me now is probably the strange tale of Kheron Ophion, birthed by ADB in Prince of Crows and "ended" in Retribution.

DarkChaplain Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Which to me kinda sucks, since I'd like to be able to follow their stories without grabbing all the FW books.

Taliesin Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Understand that DC, but I will add that the FW books are awesome in every way. Some of the most beautiful books on my extensive shelves. Just expensive. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324761-blackshield/page/2/#findComment-4482604 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkChaplain Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I'll agree with you, they're great stuff, but it is still a different style of telling those stories, some of which would better be explored in short stories, novellas or even novels, rather than brief entries in those books. It is great to see the cooperation and how they complement one another, but it also fractures things between two product lines, one of which is, as you say, very expensive compared to the other.

The most prominent example to me now is probably the strange tale of Kheron Ophion, birthed by ADB in Prince of Crows and "ended" in Retribution. We haven't seen Ophion death. We haven't read that exactly at that point at that time at that place some guy from Cyroptera with the name Ophion did died. So, until it's justified - he wasn't killed at Nostramo system. Which to me kinda sucks, since I'd like to be able to follow their stories without grabbing all the FW books. Forge World Horus Heresy books are BEYOND AWESOME. They even better than 2/3 of BL HH novels. Why you haven't checked their's lore section is beyond me. Understand that DC, but I will add that the FW books are awesome in every way. Some of the most beautiful books on my extensive shelves. Just expensive. Indeed tis so. Have all of them and can't wait for Prospero!

bluntblade Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Blackshield is very good. Wraight does a superb job of sketching the turmoil within the Death Guard over just a few pages, and it's all done "in-camera" through the behaviour and dialogue of the characters.

HeritorA Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Hope next Wraight novels would be about DG final corruption and next WS on Terra ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324761-blackshield/page/2/#findComment-4490852 Share on other sites More sharing options...
veterannoob Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Hope next Wraight novels would be about DG final corruption and next WS on Terra I know Chris is doing it. I just know it.

Pariah32 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I honestly think Chris is doing a Death guard novel that will be something to do with what Typhus is up to as he was the only one not to show up at the muster for the assault on the Scars in 'Path of Heaven'. I wouldn't be surprised if it came out mid 2017! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324761-blackshield/page/2/#findComment-4492014 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if it came out mid 2017! Typhon was battling Dark Angels on and off since The Lion. He ended up at Zaramund and met up with Luther in Angels of Caliban, and we know that there's some more to tell about his involvement there, due to the Legacy of Caliban trilogy.

And that would be interesting to read indeed. Cause Typhon will end up eventually with Mortarion, who is looking for him on their way to Terra Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324761-blackshield/page/2/#findComment-4494930 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyNoMore Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Pretty good short story this one. I really hope the author writes a Death Guard book in the not so far future!
