Roomsky Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 That cover is honestly hella rad. I do get the impression Roberts hit the deadline earlier then he would have liked, Fulgrim looks quite a bit more detailed than the others, but I don't mind the looser style, either. Much better than his old "that-looks-like-a-cg-model" days. Angron looks like his favorite team just lost the bloodbowl. I haven't been this hyped for a HH release since Master of Mankind (maybe I'll even get to read it some day), I thought French killed it with Praetorian of Dorn, and I've no doubt he'll nail the traitorous bickering that's sure to ensue. He also writes the second-best Horus after Abnett, so that doesn't hurt at all.

mc warhammer Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 for some reason i like the looks of the non daemon primarchs way more than the daemonised ones. my fav horus so far.

DukeLeto69 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Great cover except I do not like Perturabo, his missiles just look dumb (to me).

carlisimo Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Are those angel wings above Fulgrim? Is Horus kneeling? Somebody give Angron a mic! A novel with so many major characters will be hard to pull off, but I’m looking forward to it.

Taliesin Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Are those angel wings above Fulgrim? Is Horus kneeling? Somebody give Angron a mic! It doesn't look like actual angel wings but more like an angel wings aura.

karden00 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 could it be this in novel form? http://st.gde-fon.com/wallpapers_original/403273_xaos_eres-xorusa_xorus_imperator_padshhie-primarxi_1680x1050_www.Gde-Fon.com.jpg Gosh. This picture just never stops giving. I just noticed the Reaver Titan in the background. So grimdark.

Sandlemad Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Who is the guy in the fire? The Red Angel. I think its depiction in this image long predates anyone in BL/GW having any particular idea of what it is. Shows up in Fear to Tread.

Manchu warlord Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 In regards to the old picture, doesn't Erebus fall from Horus' favour? And thus, gets kicked out from his court.

Horus tore his face off, but Erebus put it back on.

Manchu warlord Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I'm pretty sure that's the case. In "Vulkan Lives", he seems done for in Horus' favour. He did not appear anywhere near Horus in "Vengeful Spirit", "The Path of Heaven" or "Praetorian of Dorn", and as for "Wolfsbane", I can't say for I haven't read it. Also, it was a metal face which he put back on.

Marshal Loss Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Erebus appears to no longer be welcome in the Warmaster's court. He temporarily wears a mask to cover his flayed visage in Vulkan Lives, but when it is torn off it reveals that his face is growing back in a more daemonic fashion, horns and all, in an echo of Horus' comment in Fear to Tread about 'revealing his true face.'

Good riddance. Asides from the various comments I've made about the cover, Horus looks like he's squatting, for I see no chairs supporting his arse and thighs.

Ascanius Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 There is a Blood Angels symbol on his knee, so they must have known what they intended to do as of Collected Visions at least, if that's even the first appearance of the piece.

The other leg is straight down. He’s not squatting. He's doing a hybrid squat where one leg is out to the side, while the other is firming folded in front of his body. ... I know he really isn't squatting, but I just wanna say it.
