The Lords of Silence

[Morovir]

Agreed. Especially the bits describing Mortarion's pettiness in his demesne.

 

His gates are seven centimetres taller than the Eternity Gate, the cupola is fractionally taller than that on the Senatorum Imperialis, and the walls are steeper by seven degrees.

[Kilofix]

Ferrus is also definitely dead, his body dismembered and his skull given by Guilliman to the Iron Hands to get them to accept the Codex.

Nuh uh, not says Fabius.

[Morovir]

And you'll notice that none of them had his hands, and so none of them will ever truly be him, rendering the point moot.

[b1soul]

Jag is hinted to be returning in The Last Hunt. Would be surprised if GW confirms the death of Jag, Corax, or Dorn. They're all potential money-makers to amp up interest during commercial lulls.

 

Ferrus and Sang are truly dead but the former is possibly linked to LotD and the latter the Sanguinor

[Bulwyf]

They can always bring a dead character back through the warp. Or in Sangy's case since the body is perfectly preserved just put the soul back into him.

[Mellow]

They need to bring back Lorgar! ... with Corax chasing him in smokey raven form!

[Taliesin]

For my money it is taking far too long for GW to bring some of these Primarchs back.

Far, far too long. It was great that a start was made, but now they need to push on, and I agree that we need to see more loyalists come back.

 

Russ is number 1 on my list, most keen to see him return and with everything that's happening, seems such an obvious choice, what on Earth is keeping them.

Secondly also Dorn, The Khan, and Corax. But throw in Sanguinius and I'd love that very much as well.

Khan, Corax, Russ. Thats a 'yes'.

 

Dorn? I would rather he be dead.

 

Sanguinius? He IS dead.

Even so, I saw a sleeper entombed in rock, and a white storm that rode upon a chariot of lightning. A shadow rises to the call of the Allfather’s messengers, a darkness that strikes from within.

Sleeper = Lion?

White storm = Khan?

A shadow? A darkness? = Corax?

 

They would need Traitor Primarchs to even things out a bit perhaps.

Finished the book. Now I’m sad cause I’m out of good Death Guard reads.

Have they said they are bringing more of them back? For my money I didn’t want any of them back, legends should be legends. Exploring them in a seperate series like Heresy or the primarchs is great but it shouldn’t be part of 40k. Full stop

[Draakur]

Loving this so far - only a third of the way in, but so far it’s everything I’d hoped it would be. Very cool stuff. The comparison to the accounts of Talos et al are, happily, quite accurate :) Back to reading I go!

[Marshal Loss]

So my Special Edition arrived, and it wasn't signed by the author, as advertised.

 

Thanks BL

 

But I've started reading, and it is superb so far. Incredibly excited to continue!

Started today after finishing the magnificent Slaves to Darkness.

 

I can almost see myself finally dragged into the traitor's cause.

[Lucifer216]

Now that I’ve actually started reading it, it reminds me of (dare I compare) ADB’s Night Lords. Lots of interactions with the Legion and the ship’s crew, etc.

I had exactly the same feeling – the fact that Lords of Silence evokes many of the same emotions that I got from my first read of Soul Hunter (which, in combination with its sequels, I consider to be ADB's best work), when the protagonists in the former are walking bags of pus speaks volumes about Chris's writing.

I would contact them about that. BL are pretty good at sorting out mistakes. The special edition is lovely isn’t it?

Read some of this at Warhammer Fest, have to admit I didn't care for it and didn't pick up a copy.

Even though it's Wraight, it didn't do anything for me.

 

I expect Haley's Dark Imperium II and The Buried Dagger will feature plots and developments much more to my liking.

Hate to drag this off subject but, Dark Imperium II? When was this announced and when is it coming?

This isn't the full prophecy.

 

"None, my lord. There are stirrings, tempests through which even I cannot gaze. Even so, I saw a sleeper entombed in rock, and a white storm that rode upon a chariot of lightning. A shadow rises to the call of the Allfather’s messengers, a darkness that strikes from within. The benighted ones turn their supernal gazes upon our worlds – the Eater of Worlds, the Corpse-King and the Misbegotten Child move once more. The Cyclopean Fiend, we have already seen. Even the Golden One has broken his gaze from the Empyrean again. I felt its glare like a fire in my soul."

 

Lion, Khan, Corax(?), Angron, Morty, Fulgrim, Magnus, Logar, and we know Robbie is around writting Codex 2.0. So it makes 5 traitors, 4 loyalist. So if the prophecy is true we need a 5th loyalist.

Ah I must have glimpsed over that because it doesn't show as a physical book in the coming soon page. I can't take electronics into work and I do most of my reading during lunch. Guess I will settle for a write up from someone else. Edited September 5, 2018 by Jarl Caldersson

Mortarion said all surviving primarchs are back in this book. You don't have to read the tea leaves he literally states it as already happened.

[DarKnight]

Trying to avoid spoilers so apologies if this has already been said, but I LOVED the cover of this (iBooks version at least) I hope more books especially 40K do the moving cover animation thing

Quote, for those of us who have to wait  forever to get these things?

Quote, for those of us who have to wait  forever to get these things?

 

 

I can't quote the entire passage but it goes like this:

 

One of the main characters is a leader of a warband of Death Guard called Lords of Silence. He finally gets to talk to Mortarion face to face after about 10k  years on the Plague Planet. Mortarion is telling him about things that to Mortarion as a demon primarch who is timeless meaning that Morty can see his own  past and future at the same time. In the real timeline this conversation is right before Cadia falls and the Great Rift opens.

 

Morty is telling him about how all the primarchs have returned and are fighting each other. All the demon primarchs have come out of the Eye and the surviving loyalist sons, all of them, have been found and are fighting the chaos primarchs.

 

When the warband leader is completely confused since none of this has happened yet, Morty is puzzled until he says something like "Oh that's right son, you don't see time like I do."

 

So Morty is speaking of all the primarchs back in 40k timeline as something that has already happened. Because it has. It just hasn't happened in "real" time yet at that point in the story. But we the readers now know that the plan from GW is in fact to bring ALL the surviving primarchs, traitor and loyal, back into 40k storyline and having them fight each other again.
