b1soul Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Lukas the Trickster is Mick Hucknall in power armour ...one of the most ridiculous characters in 40K, perhaps Reynolds could salvage him Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340265-lukas-the-trickster-cover-art/#findComment-4906302 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkChaplain Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 He already did in his short stories and audio drama.

Knockagh Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Cover art aside the limited ed looks pretty hot... Although the description says rubbed and curved spine but the picture says no... hopefully it has all that but the graphic on the front is lovely Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340265-lukas-the-trickster-cover-art/#findComment-4929327 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dienekes96 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Never read a Reynolds novel...should I? I. Sort of compelled to get this, sight unseen.

Roomsky Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Never read a Reynolds novel...should I? I. Sort of compelled to get this, sight unseen. I think Reynolds is a very talented author. He never struck me as one to push the envelope, but to my mind he really gets the setting, I haven't read anything by him that had me scratching my head, which is true even for the likes of Abnett and ADB. His prose is very easy to read. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340265-lukas-the-trickster-cover-art/#findComment-5018801 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkChaplain Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I think Reynolds is the most entertaining/humorous author in BL's stable. He manages to get in the heads of a lot of characters you may not initially expect, like Fabius Bile, and add his own twist to them while maintaining their overall character. He's whacky and weird but also grim and dark. He can write the most ridiculous stuff (see: Blood Bowl: Manglers Never Lose, even includes a Gotrek & Felix cameo and made me laugh plenty of times) but also more serious, reflective stuff like Fulgrim: The Palatine Phoenix and probably the best Nagash/Undead in WHFB/AoS. His Lukas the Trickster shorts/audio drama have been pretty spot on too.

Kelborn Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I received a booklet including six shorts from HH, 40K and AoS as a gift in my local GW store. Didn't expected to get that much due to BL's celebration. It contains The Last Son of Prospero as well as a short about Lukas done by Reynolds. Will read it after finishing PoD but I'm intrigued about those shorts as we got shorts from Chris, Aaron, Josh, Guy, John and David in one book. Seems promising. ;) R_F_D 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340265-lukas-the-trickster-cover-art/#findComment-5018854 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkChaplain Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 You get that booklet for free when ordering from the online store as well. Was planning to do that to get the paperback of Eisenhorn: The Magos two weeks earlier than Amazon will be getting it to me, along with the miniature. Alas, sold out. Grrrr. All the included stories have been out digitally before, so I'm sure somebody'll have things to say about the Lukas one too.

Sandlemad Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) This is good stuff. Will dig up some quotes and thoughts later but quite enjoyed it. If you liked the Bile books or the Wraight SW books, you're in with a good shot of enjoying this. It's essentially a comparison piece for Lukas and Duke Sliscus, with a lot to say about both of them. Lukas himself isn't just some goof, he's the proverbial stinging fly that stops his brothers from being complacent. He challenges them, calls out (what he sees as) uncomfortable truths around the hearth. When an old warrior says 'it has always been this way, it is the way of the wolves', he's there to go 'pffff.... why though?' He's a surprisingly bitter dude, that grin covers a lot of anger. This kind of covers his character. It's also the first 40k book to deal with some of the pre-Russ background revelations from Inferno.
