b1soul Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 We've really seen nothing of him so far, as Fear to Tread, imo, really didn't bring anything to him or the Legion in general. It's amazing how such a long book added almost nothing interesting about a legion with so much potential Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/328057-upcoming-primarch-novellas-your-expectations/page/4/#findComment-4586098 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkChaplain Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Just finished the Magnus extract. It is set post-Heresy, with Magnus referencing Terra and being aware of what his sons will yet become. Pretty chilling, all things considered.

bluntblade Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 In Talon of Horus, Khayon's future Rubricae are still his living, breathing brothers when Horus is making his final pre-Siege speeches.

HeritorA Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 For what it's worth, I was in the Hayley/Wraight reading on the morning of BLL. Me and one other. From what I heard (at length) of Guy reading & talking about it, Perturabo is sounding quite good indeed. The problem is - it sounds not so amazing at BL Live 2016. Wraight Carrion Throne totally stole the show and was much much much better. Just finished the Magnus extract. It is set post-Heresy, with Magnus referencing Terra and being aware of what his sons will yet become. Pretty chilling, all things considered. Looking forward to the rest Actually that was one of the most uninspiring prose I have ever read. Seems that would be the worst from Gram yet Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/328057-upcoming-primarch-novellas-your-expectations/page/4/#findComment-4586698 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Ciaphas Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Any idea of when The Lion will be coming to the Primarch series...and not least who is writing it? (please, please let it be someone other than Gav Thorpe....anyone other...)

Cause Wraight create an awesome story in Leman Russ but still Bowden 'Savage weapons' has the best depiction of Lion ever. So yes, Bowden for the LIons Primarch novel writer!

Marcus Arias Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 More Ferrus, he's been the most overlooked so far... maybe partly due to losing his head though :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/328057-upcoming-primarch-novellas-your-expectations/page/4/#findComment-4599646 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah32 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I would be interested to see who gets to do the Primarch Novel Mortarion. There are a lot of interesting posts over on the advent calender thread that have really got me thinking on which author would be best. For me Mortarion is up there with Perturabo as one of the most interesting of the rebellious Primarchs. I mean, there is so much juicy material for an author to dig into for this Primarch, so I would be interested to see who gets him. Chris Wraights depiction of Mortarion for me is spot on and I think its safe to say that the general consensus is that everyone else also thinks the same However if Chris did not get him, who do you think could do a good representation of him?

DarkChaplain Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 And a potential one for Ferrus. Well, that's wish thinking. It is, since David Guymer was announced as doing Ferrus already. I generally agree that Wraight is the ideal choice for the Khan and Mortarion, but then I'd like the Primarchs series to give other authors an opportunity to tackle them. Some books tie stronger into the HH plotlines than others, like Magnus the Red, so it made sense for McNeill to write it in tandem with The Crimson King, but where possible, a fresh perspective seems valuable. I have less concerns with the Khan getting a new author due to the very strong, Legion-defining groundwork Wraight has already done. With Scars and The Path of Heaven as mandatory reading for whoever tackles the Khan's novel, things should be fine.

Wraight's Mortarion has the best depiction to date from all the HH books. He is almost exactly as that kind of bitter Morty as he should have been. Khan has very little appearance except for Chris narratives - so no competion here. And a potential one for Ferrus. Well, that's wish thinking. He is written by David Guymer.

Quite a lot - especially for WFB: Gotrek: Kinslayer; Slayer a lot of shorts. 2 novels for TBA 'Echoes of the Long War'; 'Last son of Dorn', incoming Ferrus Manus novella and incoming Iron Hands w40k book about Stronos. (By the way an audio prequel for it is simply amazing in Advent - http://www.blacklibrary.com/all-products/the-calculus-of-battle-mp3) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/328057-upcoming-primarch-novellas-your-expectations/page/4/#findComment-4600570 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkChaplain Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Headtaker for Warhammer Heroes, excellent Skaven novel. City of the Damned, Kinslayer and Slayer for Gotrek & Felix, a couple of Age of Sigmar stories (audio dramas mostly), and other WHFB stuff. He's got a passion for Iron Hands and has been wanting to get to write about them for a while and now it finally worked out with Stronos in Eye of Medusa and the Primarchs novel. I'd still say his The Last Son of Dorn was my favorite book in The Beast Arises. Drama, emotion, big improvements on various points of the series, and impact.

The point is - 'his drama' in his every review 'without his humble opinion' is not an Emperor's drama. But he definitely gonna be one.

Xisor Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 In general: just because there are two distinct sides to an argument doesn't make them equal in merit, nor even vaguely equivalent by necessity. Specific to Primarchs novels: have we learnt anything good since BLL! and its fallout?

DarkChaplain Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 No news that I'm aware of. Not surprising though, with Magnus only coming next month. Looks like a novel per quarter, give or take, so we have Magnus, Perturabo and Lorgar, possibly Ferrus in 2017. Perturabo now has a blurb on Amazon, did that get posted yet? Perturabo, primarch of the Iron Warriors, is forced to crush his own home world rather than see it fall to rebellion.Born to a life of political conflict, Perturabo was always considered a child prodigy among the people of Olympia – indeed, his philosophical and scientific works were beyond compare. But then, after his rediscovery by the Emperor and decades of thankless military campaigning on the Great Crusade, the primarch begins to resent his Legion’s place in the Imperium. When word reaches him of turmoil on his adoptive home world, he orders the Iron Warriors to abandon their campaign against the alien hrud and crush this emerging rebellion by any means necessary.
