LJF Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I really hope ADB means it when he says he wants to show BL in a more positive light. Everybody loves BT obviously but I think they should lose in a decisive and brutal (but also entertaining ofcourse) manner. That includes the final duel since Sigismund's death should serve as a statement that both Abaddon and BL are indeed something the Imperium should be concerned about. Anything less wouldn't make sense since BL will still need enough men and ships for the actual 1st Crusade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mellow Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 It will feel like a victory for humanity when Abaddon sits victorious on the golden throne. Master of Mankind, Master of the Neverborn, champion of awesome weapons. Just in time for the Orks to come and play table tennis with his ribs.

JH79 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Aaron, any idea if/when we'll see Extinction and Wonderworker republished for the general audience? I was half-hoping the paperback of Talon would have one of them included, but that didn't seem to be the case. I believe these were exclusive to the First Edition and were never to be re-printed or made available outside of that first edition it's a pity as they both sound like ripe prey for the full on audio drama treatment, especially Extinction!

DarkChaplain Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I believe that Extinction was actually part of an event anthology. The traitor legions one, with the bad boy chaos marine on the cover. The "never to be re-printed" thing hasn't been a promise of never being re-released otherwise either. They said the same for a bunch of short stories that since appeared in other collections or adapted into audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Loss Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Now we just need a new fabulous model for Abadizzle and I can safely label 2017 a success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Have you guys seen the news ? We take Cadia, rejoice ! As cool as this sounds like it will be, don't get your hopes up. GW has never once followed through on the hype of the potential background in studio material. Ive personally liked some aspects of the new fluff, mainly the breadth of the conflict presented, but I'm being cautiously optimistic. The studio doesn't handle large campaign detail as well as Lord Bligh, and something as epic as the Black Crusade needs a level of detail I haven't seen anything but the Fw books produce.

DarkChaplain Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 The rumor of Abaddon getting a new model in January seem inaccurate now, sadly. GW stated there'd be only three character models coming for Fall of Cadia, which goes up for preorder on the 7th. Looks like he won't be taking part in the opening stages of the 13th Black Crusade just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scribe Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 If the book is in Aug, seems like a pretty straight forward tie in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Loss Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Still seems a little bizarre to have him the cover of arguably their most exciting campaign book ever and not release a model to go with it, but a tie in with the novel also makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahem tis several millennias earlier - aka first black crusade, lol Still seems a little bizarre to have him the cover of arguably their most exciting campaign book ever and not release a model to go with it, but a tie in with the novel also makes sense A D-B is not tying it in. His BLC book is a continuation to ToH. Even ,if new novel would be written for Fall of Cadia campaign - someone new will probably do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a great book indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scribe Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I realize it's not the right period, but you release a book with a central character being one of the settings most important, you have a supposedly ongoing event in the Fall series, and your bread and butter is selling plastic models of which THE main bad guy is lacking. I'm going to set expectation for Summer. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 Just noticed AD-B heavily implied he wrote the text for the Fall of Cadia trailer, and now I feel like it was obvious since the trailer ends with talk about the angels of the Emperor coming back, "recast from shame and shadow, reborn in black and gold". May imply the Black Legion gets some well deserved spotlight during the 13th Black Crusade and the Fall of Cadia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
