Vesper Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Hey guys, For those of you who don't follow ADB's facebook and stuff, he has started writing the second book of the Black Legion series : The Black Legion. The evil dude is teasing us with stuff like the fight between Abaddon and Sigismund or the taking of the Black. The book is supposed to cover the actual foundation of the Black Legion, the end of the Legion War, the first Black Crusade with awesome stuff like the Triumph at Uralan, the recovery of Drach'nyen... How super exciting is that ? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338425-the-black-legion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriegsmacht Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Now that I'm sufficiently teased the real waiting begins...damn this is going to feel long. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338425-the-black-legion/#findComment-4425974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1soul Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Sounds promising The 1st book felt a bit like a D&D gang in 40K...but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338425-the-black-legion/#findComment-4425986 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandlemad Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 That sounds like a lot to cram into one book but seeing a ToH was such a scene-setting book, it should work. But goddamn. Just gonna settle in to wait over here. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338425-the-black-legion/#findComment-4425997 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Loss Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Incredibly excited for this, ToH blew me away and I cannot wait to see how this turns out. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338425-the-black-legion/#findComment-4426242 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apothecary Vaddon Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 A little more excited that him starting that probably means Master of Mankind is on the near horizon.

Fire Golem Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Can't wait. Talon of Horus was excellent, and I'm guessing Master of Mankind isn't far out now. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338425-the-black-legion/#findComment-4426394 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apothecary Vaddon Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Well, he was working on it before so if he's started on the new BL novel then maybe he's done Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338425-the-black-legion/#findComment-4426411 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkChaplain Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 He said he was almost done with it in the afterword added to The First Heretic, I believe. That was dated with january 2016 iirc.

The Red Thirst Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 When you consider were still waiting for 'Master of Mankind' im tipping it'll be a long wait indeed.... but who am I kidding, I'd wait 5 years for a book from him.... time to go read 'Talon of Horus' again ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338425-the-black-legion/#findComment-4426747 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkChaplain Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I wouldn't be surprised if the books following Praetorian of Dorn and Corax will be MaM and The Crimson King. We've been waiting ages for both, and they should be with the editors at the very least.

Taliesin Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Master of Mankind yes ( I expect November or December release) and The Crimson King no, that is not finished yet as per McNeill himself. The Magnus novella will be out before Crimson King. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338425-the-black-legion/#findComment-4426900 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A D-B Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 The Talon of Horus II: The Topknot of Horus's Son is indeed underway.

Marshal Rohr Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 My theory: Abaddon adds another ring to his topknot for every milestone in the Long War. So in Talon of Horus he's got no topknot. After killing clone horus he'll have a modest one ring topknot. After finding his sword, killing Sigismund, etc it'll be a little larger. Then by the last book in the series it'll be there in it's glorious three foot long incarnation, with spikes and stuff. Like a pagan Samson who's into metal.

How super exciting is that ? It's about... some of those things. Most of them. In bits and bobs. Hard to explain. If I had to give a tagline summary, it's about the finding of Drach'nyen during the First Black Crusade. That's the plot. Someone at a signing asked me about Khayon's role going forward, how he relates to the other Black Legion commanders and the Ezekarion itself, as Lord Vigilator. I said it was best summed up by a Varok Saurfang quote: "I am he who watches they. I am the fist of retribution."

Aslo...I would love an encounter between Ahriman and Khayon one day...unlikely but it would be cool.

Vesper Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Someone at a signing asked me about Khayon's role going forward, how he relates to the other Black Legion commanders and the Ezekarion itself, as Lord Vigilator. I said it was best summed up by a Varok Saurfang quote: "I am he who watches they. I am the fist of retribution." Black Legion Arnogaur confirmed ! Loved Arnogaur, by the way. The setting was suitably grim and apocalyptic, and the story itself was really cool. Aslo...I would love an encounter between Ahriman and Khayon one day...unlikely but it would be cool. Even just a conversation That would be great, indeed. And could very well happen since Abaddon's inner circle is the real deal in the Eye, I could very well see them bumping into the likes of Ahriman, Khârn, Typhus and such.
