Robster The Lobster Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 First of, let me join the folk who pray to the dark pantheon that A D-B will continue to write about the Black Legion/Khayon. That said, I will not hold it against him if he decided to write about things that interest him, since we get better books that way. So on another note, when I went through the BL site searching for different audio´s that I can listen to when I work, yes I´m actually pretty lucky in that I can listen to stuff while I work, a question popped up. Why can´t I find any audio dramas for the Black Legion? I really want some!

b1soul Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I loved the concept of Imperial "daemons" introduced in Talon. Hope they make another appearance in Black Legion Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338425-the-black-legion/page/36/#findComment-4839862 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeritorA Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 A D-B thank you for your response. I know that you are busy but sometimes we do 'in need' of author feedback :) It is much appreciated. Also due to the long working hours I could forget what I asked yesterday - so sorry if I'd asked same questions before. 'Some of the stuff that's important to you often mystifies me, man' - that mystifies a lot of people. Just imagine what other questions my community ask me - lore/prose/character wise. "Richard's always been super-cool about the whole thing. It'd be selfish and vain to hope for more." - well, he truly started to like BL, and 'Black Legion' is on his must read list, so after the Helsreach if we all would be alive and well - BL 'must' follow As for the topknot - really at some point of the time you should explain that to us As bluntblade said 'Abaddon undoes his topknot when necessary. I'm sure that's been mentioned in a Heresy book.' But that is totally unpractical and silly. And it can't be done in one quick move in the case of the emergency void breach and him being sucked into the void 'it's out next week, as I'd totally forgotten' - so imagine us being confused as to the release. Some of us visit that bookmarked a long ago page to check it's availability to pre-order almost every day I loved the concept of Imperial "daemons" introduced in Talon.Hope they make another appearance in Black Legion True. Want the same :) Plus Abby view on the Astronomicon beacon Imperials use Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338425-the-black-legion/page/36/#findComment-4840050 Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got illustrations? Need to check that! *searching* DAMN! Those are some nice artworks! Abbi does look more screwed than I imagined him to be.

A D-B Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 A D-B - totally forgot to ask: Will 'BL' limited Edition contain the same illustrations of the main cast as Talon of Horus did? For some reason, not this time. I only realised / remembered that myself a few days ago, and emailed one of the staffers to say "I assume it's too late now, but what about the internal illustrations?" I loved the last ones. They looked nothing like the guys in my head (that's good - I like interpretations, not copies) and basically looked even better. (Though I was careful to point out in the art notes that Khayon doesn't wear robes, he still looked great in them; and I think Lheor was the wrong skin colour.)

(Though I was careful to point out in the art notes that Khayon doesn't wear robes, he still looked great in them; and I think Lheor was the wrong skin colour.) I remember being a bit perturbed as to why Lheor was so pasty in that image when I was using it as (rough) reference for my (even rougher) study of Heresy-era Lheor - one of the main reasons I decided upon him as a subject was because he's one of only a handful of explicitly black Legionaries, which I super appreciate. On a slightly more on-topic note, I'm keen to see if there's any mention of the Astartes Praeses in The Black Legion, as the Templars' role as the only Imperials watching the Eye at the time of the 1st Black Crusade provides some interesting context for their formation, especially considering (at least) the Black Consuls, White Consuls & Excoriators are all Second Founding Chapters.

There's a thread going on in the Amicus about the Praeses, but essentially what I noted there was that their details are still fairly vague... despite having Second Founding Chapters in their ranks, as far as I'm aware there's no actual confirmation anywhere that they were in fact formed around the time of that Founding. Perhaps A D-B knows? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338425-the-black-legion/page/36/#findComment-4841275 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeritorA Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Do people know what time releases are updated on the BL website? Usually first week on the month - Wednesday, sometimes with delay on Thursday.

I think Praeses were non-existent in that 'role' yet. They were created already - but not assigned with Praeses duties yet. A D-B - sad that they did not covered the new images of our 'beloved' characters with the new 'view'. After all - they did changed 'a bit' in the Eye from the moment we saw them last time. But anyway - we come for your words. not the shining cover for the book. So hope to be pleasantly surprised reading that amazing novel.

Marshal Loss Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 For the record, I moved a flight from 6pm (an hour before the book was meant to go up for sale) to goddamn 1am just so I could preorder this goddamn book. At least I can fly knowing I have the book! Guessing the page wasn't meant to go live yet? The old 'pre-order' page is still up, which is why I thought you were just trying to raise my blood pressure. Instead, you turned out to be the greatest hero Australia has ever known.
