A D-B Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Oh, Roomsky. You are my everything. Am I the only one not thinking it's Khayon and Lheor or Delvarus ? All I see is two Black Legionnaires. One happen to be a Rubric Marine and the other a Khorne Berzerkers but they stand side by side because Black Legion. Yeah, like I said: I was super-careful when pitching this one because we don't often see canonical sources for actual Black Legion Cult units in artwork, despite how common they'd be in the Legion itself. It's a generic cover, but it's also unique. No other Legion looks like that, with such a mix of troops, and that's what I wanted to convey on the cover.

HeritorA Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Yeh I can believe it. Anyone else get canned you're allowed to mention? Seconded the question. Plus my poor White Panthers :( Anyway - everything would be forgiven for the scene with Sigismund :) And let be honest A D-B - you know that we all adorne you and your writing. Black Legion probably the first and only 'must buy' of this summer for me Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338425-the-black-legion/page/28/#findComment-4733459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medjugorje Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 for me too, especially as a black templar fan (maybe we are more intent then Black Legion fans^^) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338425-the-black-legion/page/28/#findComment-4756057 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeritorA Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 for me too, especially as a black templar fan (maybe we are more intent then Black Legion fans^^) You sure are, which from one point is understandable cause all Black Templars fans rush to the Emperor side through the glory road. But from another usually it all end up with their premature death. For Sigismund to be so patient and wait for Abaddon return all these years - interesting how Bowden will go and explain that. On the other hand we have Helbrecht and Grimaldus - who can't be called a very patient beings. But maybe that's the difference - after Sigismund death (and in all probability that's would be a scene where good old Sigi will probably die) - some flaw with glory and rush to the mighty end set in the Black Templats souls Sad that Black Legion was not as a pre-released title at Warhammer Fest 2017. I was expecting to get back to the old 'advertised' practice of having releases 2-3 months in advance at events.

Kelborn Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Maybe the lack of patience came with Sigismunds demise at Abaddons hands? Like, avenging the Imperium, the Emperor, Dorn AND Sigismund was a bit too much for their disposition.

Kelborn Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I'd call this character development. From a zealous, impatient champion of mankind into an old, battle hardened ancient, who got wiser and way more patient in the never ending war, waiting for the right time to strike.

Vesper Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 I wonder if the series will give some nods to the recent events unfolding as per the release of 8th edition. The framing sure could allow it in a cool way. And I wonder what will become of Abaddon and the Black Legion post Gathering Storm since the Crimson Path has been retconned from "a bloody and warpy path to Terra" to "a great rift super hard to cross except for Guilliman who must have the keys or something".

Fire Golem Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 AD-B and John French were on the Imperial Truth podcast, and John who's read it said something along the lines of 'from the viewpoint of the 41st millennium it seems inevitable that Abaddon would become the Warmaster of Chaos, but what if there were other candidates?'
