b1soul Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 @Felix Yup...the Indomitus Crusade might warrant a 12 (or 24) volume series a la The Beast.

DarkChaplain Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I don't think so, actually. The Beast Arises had a clear start and end goal, whereas the Indomitus Crusade seems more for show, already has what seems like an end, and a lot of the crusade was about Guilliman hopping from battlefield to battlefield and bringing reinforcements. One point, with Baal, is already being covered in Guy Haley's Devastation novel, too. The Indomitus Crusade sounds more like a temporary setting for short stories, novellas and the occasional novel, mostly stand-alone with possibly linked novels or trilogies if the subject matter has the scope to warrant it, but I can't see it being a clearly outlined, "numbered" journey like The Beast Arises or even the Horus Heresy. Apart from The Devastation of Baal, we're also getting Ashes of Prospero soon, and it'd seem likely that a couple more Space Marine Conquests novels will be dealing with things in that timeframe too.

HeritorA Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 @Felix Yup...the Indomitus Crusade might warrant a 12 (or 24) volume series a la The Beast. We are talking Last hunt WS of the 4th company vs tyranids and it's arrival in November. Indomitus crusade could be written through ages for all I care. It is young and so far stupid lore which need time to grow up into something worthwile or fail miserably and take W40K with it.

He definitely did - I already see some inspiration behind the 4th company. Robbie 1) You plan it as a start for a trilogy or is it a definite standalone? 2) Will we get void warfare? It is always curious to see SM chapter fleet vs live tyranids bioships. 3) Please remind me - is it take place between GS and DI during Indomitus Crusade times Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329512-the-last-hunt-by-robmac/page/4/#findComment-4895723 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMac Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Robbie, have you read Shape of the Hunt by Joe Parrino? Any thoughts on that? Perhaps it served as another inspiration? I have, I think I actually managed at the very least skim-read all White Scars fiction to date before starting. Robbie, have you read Shape of the Hunt by Joe Parrino? Any thoughts on that? Perhaps it served as another inspiration? He did. He definitely did - I already see some inspiration behind the 4th company.

It is always curious to see SM chapter fleet vs live tyranids bioships. 3) Please remind me - is it take place between GS and DI during Indomitus Crusade times 1) Standalone now but there could be more depending on popularity. 2) Yes. Not a huge amount, but two pretty solid scenes. 3) Right after Gathering Storm/opening of the Rift. It's a little hazy though, for example the Scars aren't wholly sure about the truth of whether Guilliman is back or not initially.

b1soul Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 Hi Rob... Other than Tyranids, which factions do you think would be the most interesting adversaries of the Scars?

caladancid Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 The novel is killer! RobMac- Once again crushing an adeptus astartes story. I have to own that Chris Wraight is the king of Scars to me, this is a very very good addition to their storyline though, captures what was started in the HH books. Also, do you know something the rest of us don't? Is the Khagan coming back soon?! You can't tease us so much. I have to say what I appreciate so much about both The Last Hunt and Red Tithe is that the characters don't act like idiots. They aren't tricked easy, and both good and bad guys fight like it matters to them. Excellent work. Now RobMac has two trilogies I want him to finish.

Kelborn Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Sounds promising! Will surely include the Last Hunt into my Scars reading order, after finishing the World Engine.

b1soul Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 @caladancid What gives you reason to believe the Khagan may be returning? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329512-the-last-hunt-by-robmac/page/4/#findComment-4920373 Share on other sites More sharing options...
caladancid Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 @caladancid What gives you reason to believe the Khagan may be returning? The Scars clearly think he is coming back soon, and not just in an optimistic way. There could be more than one explanation for this, but my takeaway is that they are getting signs the Warhawk needs them right now. -edit Let me add this while I am thinking about it. We all know that sales is king (as it should be) for GW. Red Tithe and this book made me want to go out and buy a whole new army. Once we get some decent White Scars/Raven Guard (for Carcharadons) upgrade sprues and some sweet Primaris grav bikes, it is on. Show this to your bosses RobMac. That 16 dollars I paid for the book looks more like 200-300 once I get those things. For a writer I am sure that writing well is the primary concern, and that is covered! Now lets be practical and get the powers to be backing more of these novels!

bluntblade Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I just have a feeling in my water that someone high up at GW has said "White Scars, no one cares about them right?

helterskelter Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I don't think they'd turn him evil, more, "you've all failed humanity, i and my sons will make this right" and fight everyone. They're not chaos, they're not guillimans imperium, they're the 3rd way. Buy I need to pick up the book anyway, and if red tithe is anything to go by this is gonna be awesome.

Kelborn Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Naaaah, can't imagine the Khan going against all. He's a freethinker, sure but he's loyal to his fathers vision. Either he joins RG OR (and what I can rather imagine) go on a crusade with all of his sons like he did during the GC and HH.
