Race Bannon Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 No doubt it is easy to find books on the Raven Guard, certain characters, and even Successor Chapters. Yet, maybe we could compile a list to assist users of the B&C. Please keep in mind, any discussion of the contents for the work that could "spoil" it for others should use the Hidden codes. To start: Sons of Corax This is a gathering of short stories and a novella. As of this post, I have read Prey and By Artifice Alone from within the cover and will say more about it when I'm finished, unless someone has thoughts to share?

duz_ Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Great idea I've been wondering what good books about them there is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Raven Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Don't read Kauyon and Mont'ka from Warzone: Damocles unless you want to see the Raven Guard get outsmarted at every turn. That said, they at least used their brains so there's merit in outsmarting them, as opposed to the White Scars who showed as much tactical acumen as the World Eaters... Don't read Deliverance Lost either unless you didn't like the Index Astartes' original story about Corax's genetic experiments to build his legion back up.

angel robertson Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I have read all the HH stuff on them so far but lacking in the 40K. Will check out the book Race posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Guy Matt Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hunt for Voldorius is officially a White Scar novel but has significant Raven Guard presence. I've just read Damcoles too. Again White Scars are the stars but Raven Guard appear in two of the four stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helias_Tancred Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 With Baited Breath by George Mann is an excellent short story that features a Guardsman and the arrival of the Raven Guard on a battle ravaged planet. It showcases the bonds between two very different warriors in service to the Emperor. The engagement in the story is short but it is a beautifully perfect example of Raven Guard tactics. It features Captain Koryn. It is my favorite Raven Guard short story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again White Scars are the stars but Raven Guard appear in two of the four stories. 3 actually. The story from the Tau perspective has them in it as well. I see Hunt for Voldorius as almost a split novel. After the Raven Guard appear quite a bit of the rest of the book focuses on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The third is Ultramarines and Jade Dragons and the last is just White Scars, so 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Race Bannon Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 Helion Rain Captain Koryn leads an army of Raven Guard against the Tyranids. yet the story focuses on Veteran Scout Sergeant Grayvus on a mission that could stop the Tyranids on the planet. Chaplaim Cordae from Prey makes an appearance as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Captain Vyper Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 @ Helias: I see this is an audio book. Is there a script/book form of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Race Bannon Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 Itvyper - Both Helion Rain (also an audio book) and With Baited Breath are found as printed in the book linked in the first post ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Corbin Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Chapter's Due. Shadow Caption Aethon Shaan, and 5 veterans, all in power armor and jump packs, infiltrate the UM fortress monastery, and announce themselves during a strategy meeting. Telion, despite his Acute Senses, didn't detect them at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Race Bannon Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Nah. I never thought I would "read" Helion Rain until SoC came out, it's all good. ^_^ I did read With Baited Breath last night and it was quite a fast read. Not because of length, but rather because it was just fun to read :tu: If Koryn's behavior toward the Guardsman is indicative of the whole Chapter, then there is more "humanity" than I attribute to the Space Marines as a whole, and specifically to the Raven Guard. George Mann is indeed the man for the Chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Mann is indeed the man for the Chapter. As far as humanity goes, the Raven Guard are second only to the Salamanders. You need look no farther than Shrike's history to see that. He deliberately kept his forces away from battles where the Imperium already had it under control, focusing instead on worlds where the civilians had been basically abandoned.

Biscuittzz Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 After reading the HH concerning RG in full, my advice would be prepare to be disappointed. You can find my opinions over in the Book 40: Corax thread. Gav Thorpe butchers the RG from start to finish. George Mann is actually a lot better. Gav completely misses the fact that we read these books because we want to be proud of our legion/chapter and see them do good things, not just be punching bags for a larger story. George does a great job of capturing the humanity found within the chapter without going overboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Race Bannon Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 Old Scars - Captain Daed of the Brazen Minotaurs goes after the Orks. The Brazen Minotaurs are mentioned in By Artifice Alone . There is another connecting thread and there may be others, but I am slowly chewing through Sons of Corax and have found them yet. So far, I get the impression the order the stories in SoC are out of order. Anyone have that impression? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Race Bannon Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 Labyrinth of Sorrow - Captain Daed of the Brazen Minotaurs is on a dire mission against the Death Guard. The Raven Guard have a debt to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Race Bannon Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 The Unkindness of Ravens - A follow-up to Labyrinth of Sorrow, the Raven Guard and Brazen Minotaurs agree upon a mission of paramount importance and both will pay a high price even if they succeed. So they will pay the price, but cannot count the cost because failure is not an option. The fight to save a star system is in their hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
