Dante by Guy Haley

[Blindhamster]

I for one am happy to have not one, but two reliable sources for dante having white hair now. Admittedly his description suggests that:

1) he doesn't take the mask off in front of people generally

2) his face is also older than any previous description.

 

Very much enjoyed this book, I do hope we get more insight into the world's of baal before Mr Haley destroys them lol.

2) his face is also older than any previous description.

 

 

His face de-ages when he eats his equery though.

Is this real? Just curious...

Ugh, it still only says "acknowledged" on the orders screen. It's been a week man, come on. I'm so ready to discuss this! Edited March 8, 2017 by Arkangilos

Postman left mine in the bin cupboard and didn't leave a note. I found it yesterday and it in theory arrived on the 4th.

Did the BL site update or did it stay the same? Maybe they shipped it but didn't update it (so it still says that it's waiting to be packed)

Yeah black library still said acknowledged, but it had shipping on the 3rd. I suggest you email them or give them a call!

Just got my actual, physical book. Very pleased with the quality.

 

And the short story was very interesting too!

I just finished this and was thoroughly satisfied with it. I'm so glad to get a really good Blood Angels story, finally! Very nervous for the fight for Baal though.

 

Edit: Although a few hours after finishing it I'm now certain it's all a ploy to get me to buy the Dante model. Can't...resist...

Me too =)

 

I got the audiobook a few weeks back now. I have listened to it twice straight thru with also a few more repeats of great scenes / sections etc.

Very Enjoyable and Highly Recommended for any BA fan.

 

I mostly get the audiobooks for BL stuff and find them to be of excellent quality.

If you have thought about getting this one, DO IT !!

 

Looking forward to the Devastation of Baal book.

I usually don't listen to/watch/read things more than once unless it was really enjoyable and even then usually not before 2 years or so went because starting to read/watch something I already read/watched once makes me remember most of it instantly so it's pretty boring.

However the scene where Sanguinor speaks to Dante I actually had to read thrice. So good. ^^

Out of curiosity what does Dante’s voice sound like?

 

Hidden Content

The voices in BL audiobooks/dramas are well done, but tend to be balanced “internally.” I.e. I just finished Praetorian of Dorn and Alpharius has an almost cartoonish delivery to his lines. It’s technically well done and they need to make characters’ voices distinct from one another, so I get that. It’s just that Alpharius sounded completely unlike what any Primarchs would actually sound like, IMO.

 

...anywheres, where I am going with this is that I have actually found Sanguinius’ voice quite well done in Virtues of the Son, Sins of the Father, and Herald of Sanguinius. It’s realistic in the sense that it’s relatively deep and commanding, whereas it would be easy to make him less ...baritone...in order to distinguish between Primarchs more easily.

 

 

...so I am curious how Dante’s actual voice sounds.

Hmm...I don't think I like this. Dantes voice doesn't sound fitting to me and overall I don't really like the guy tone of voice who's reading the book in the first place. Glad I'm reading instead of listening to it. ^^

[Crimson Ghost IX]

To each their own for sure.  

I just don't have much time for reading recently. So I listen to most of these instead while doing other things.

 

Works for me and I think the fella reading does a pretty good job with them myself.

Much better than the other options I have anyhow =)

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

Can't wait to read it !!!

[Demoulius]

Im about 2/3rds of the way through. Absolutely loving it! Already a million times better then all the previous books that we had combined... With the exception of some hidden gems here and there.
