Scribe Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Maybe the novel will explain why they are leaving. Maybe with the golden throne failing they are searching for a solution around the galaxy. Or maybe they had orders from the Emperor from 10k ago. We don't know. I'm curious to read the novel tbh. The AdMech are doing that, with the Dark Eldar. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/326523-bl-coming-soon/page/7/#findComment-4551203 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mellow Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 They are. But that won't be expanded upon because that's not how things work. Although there's no reason why some Custodians wouldn't have gone along as well.

HeritorA Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 The origins of the Scythes heraldry was detailed in Pharos, and it seems likely that the helmet is in tribute to Warsmith Dantioch. Exactly. A honor to mark the passing of the Imperium Hero. What are the Horusian wars? New series about the Inquisition branch. It's prequel is a short 'The purity of ignorance' ooooo Darius Hinks is back. At last - he haven't done a BL book in 2 years! I hope that Custodes book is set early in the timeline, around the Scouring / TBA frame. I have no desire whatsoever for GW/BL to come up with too-convenient plot contrivances to get the Custodes into the galaxy to justify them getting a Codex or Supplement. They're in the Imperial Palace, guarding the Emperor, and that's that. Anything else would diminish them for me. Their task is more important than doing the same damn stuff we have a thousand Chapters of Astartes for. Nope. It's 41st Millennium Any chance of new Sisters of Battle stories in that omnibus you reckon? Or just those 3 existing stories that James Swallow wrote collected together? It's all old stuff Might be... Severian on the right? Looks like Varren (supposing he's still alive, which I haven't checked). Yes tis Varren with a beard. It's not Severian 2 new 40k novels from chris wraight? praise the lord! also +1 for darius hunks, his warhammer novels plus that one story for age of sigmar are excellent Chris Wraight stuff is always welcome!

Roomsky Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Glad to see another catch-up anthology. Wanted to read Garro for a while. That being said, its hilarious that the book featuring Loken's return is released so much later than Vengeful Spirit.

Petitioner's City Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 The messy out of order world that is the HH series. Imagine if you are a new reader - how on earth are you meant to read the series??? It's the same with Scars, coming long before in book order its predecessor story. I sometimes wonder about recommending the novels to people ... but I have no idea how to really explain read 'these ones, then these ones, then these ones' etc. Well what I would love is a HH version of the following: [link to full size image] It would be wonderful! This even covers roughly the same amount of material as the Horus Heresy series.

Warsmith Uveron Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I would love something like this!

DarkChaplain Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Well, with Shadows of Treachery out recently, the only HH mainline book that doesn't have an audiobook yet is Legacies of Betrayal, which was almost entirely audio dramas to begin with. Since they did Shadows now, which had previously only seen individual releases for its two novellas, nothing for the Kaban Engine or Death of a Silversmith, and otherwise relied on audio dramas, I'd say Legacies won't be far off. Beyond that, only Wolf King, Cybernetica and Garro: Vow of Faith as well as Meduson are without audiobooks so far. Garro will correct one of them, Wolf King was somehow skipped over last saturday, and Cybernetica is coming in January. When I recommend somebody to start reading HH, its usually down to publication order until things get more complex. Garro's Legion of One/Vengeful Spirit problem (with Luna Mendax and Grey Angel from The Silent War thrown in) is one of those outliers. Not everything needs to be read in chronological order, I think. We don't need to read The First Heretic before Horus Rising. The former will give a deeper insight into the latter no matter when you read it. With the anthologies I'd just recommend getting them relatively early and making a picture of where the stories are set, approximately, ahead of time. Either way, the bunch of new coming soon titles and "leaks" are now on Goodreads. Plenty of good stuff I'm looking forward to reading overall.

I'd recommend using Tymell's reading order if you want to be a completionist. That's nice, but it's linear. And presumably only works if you have everything as an ebook/mobi/epub for accessibility. I think if I/someone was to do a version of the Trek chart, it would be ... 20+ columns, chronological: 18 for the legions, 1 for Terran machinations (like 'Blood Games'), 1 for army, 1 for remembrancers, etc., with the text in each individual 'narrative' marked out. So you know what to read just for the XV, but see that they intersperse with V, VI, VII, Outcast Dead (Terra column), etc, columns. Thrawn and 8of5's graph is pretty amazing how they fit (with each new version) a lot of information on it. All those lines are complicated, but actually very good at telling you where to go to read. Of course it only really works to follow threads if you have access to all the books which is possible on the internet, but expensive or illegal! Or pay pennies for paperbacks, but a lot on postage. Anyway as for the graph ... something for after the PhD. Along with finally making any models (perhaps inspired by Veteran Sergeant's True Scale tutorial, but i am a novice!). I have til then to decide V (Malcador-supported mixed arms), VI (some of those poor souls depicted in Ahriman) or XV (a line company like Khayon's, or Amon's Hidden Ones or Ignus's Masters of Ruin) ... or Blackshields (which I'm also tempted by, but then i worry I'm losing out on the story with random nasty marines). Anyway the graph ... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/326523-bl-coming-soon/page/7/#findComment-4552362 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tymell that sounds excellent! And I love that you have taken notes on dates! My big bugbear with so much 40K lit is the lack of dates. Or worse, when dates are given, the lack of due attention paid by sources like 40Kwikia to dates. Seriously that wiki has no dates (ok very few). I'm a type of historian, and chronology is utterly important for any attempt at systematising history - even fictional history: The specific role of chronology and a date and time perspective is to put history within a structure of events and when they happened. Sometimes this is not possible because the timing of events is only known approximately, but to the best of our ability, knowing when events occurred helps us to put our analysis into a larger context. I think that's what a HH reading list needs to accomplish. It's not only a series of novels, it's presenting readers with the potential to examine the sources of a history, with the groundwork in terms of chronology performed to an extent. I think Horus rising should be the kick off, for any reader though. Read those first 3 or 4 or 5 books, because they are so introductory. Yet, there are many 'ins' also - and Horus, unfortunately, really disappears in his own series after the 3 books about him. Hence the need for a big Trek-style reading guide ... If you want to chat about it/share ideas, I'm game! But especially from January!

The list does indicate a CD release of Children of Sicarus and Heart of the Pharos, though. We're finally seeing Magnus the Red's main artwork in better quality/full, though, and Lorgar is getting a Primarchs novel soon (artwork for July). new works:Eye of Medusa Lucius: The Faultless Blade (reminds me of Lucius: The Eternal Blade) Also confirms some artworks as final, like Mephiston.
