bluntblade Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Ooh, that's also a thought. Also Minotaurs, Executioners... there are some really great Tier 2/3 Chapters in that cast.

DukeLeto69 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I'd honestly just like a Beast Arises style Badab War series. Maybe every other month, keeping it running for two years to allow for the authors to actually work things out with one another and the editors to avoid the pitfalls of TBA. It also needs to be handled with a HH-style meeting of involved authors to actually nail down the key points, characters and direction, to avoid characters disappearing between novels or sudden shifts in direction (like the Men of Iron getting removed for Sisters of Silence and Deathwatch). With something like the Badab War, you thankfully already have established background material, unlike with the Beast where it was a relatively blank slate, and only introduced "recently" in the timelines as a reference preparing for the series, before it was put on ice for years due to management changes. So getting a good overview of what needs to happen and who was involved in what should be much easier, while having the authors working out twists as a group to properly prepare for them. It'd also allow for a lot more perspective shifts than TBA allowed itself, since many Chapters and forces were involved, while the war was still contained in one region rather than all over the galaxy, with one protagonist Chapter at the center and only sidelong mentions of the rest of the Adeptus Astartes... Give me a proper 12 book series detailing Lufgt Huron and the Astral Claws' fall from grace. Have Robbie MacNiven contribute Carcharodons, focused on Tyberos the Red Wake. Give Guy Haley a reason to bring back his Novamarines. Flesh out the Red Scorpions, Mantis Warriors, Lamenters, Minotaurs etc. There are so few "traditional" Chapters involved in the Badab War as we know it (no Blood Angels, no Space Wolves, Ultramarines, Dark Angels, Imperial Fists, only Salamanders really) that it'd be a really fresh sheet of paper for authors to draw on. If they did Badab War as @DC has described then I will just open my wallet and say "take my money" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349166-bl-mysteries/page/5/#findComment-5138441 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntblade Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 And maybe bring some more of the up-and-comers like Josh Reynolds into the mix. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349166-bl-mysteries/page/5/#findComment-5138444 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xisor Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 And maybe bring some more of the up-and-comers like Josh Reynolds into the mix.I'm not entirely sure Josh Reynolds counts as "up-and-coming". Even from a 40k perspectives, a couple of novels and a fair what of novellas isn't exactly sniffed-at territory. Similarly, writing for the Primarchs series. When ADB's writing for the Primarchs, maybe he can stop being "up and coming" too. :D :P (Yes, yes, apples and oranges. I know. But Josh's output, range of topics, and sustained quality all leave me thinking there's not really any way to paint him as up-and-coming, even if shamefully I'd almost typed "ooh, good call" instead of covering my shame and attacking your fine self for the very same instead!)

Felix Antipodes Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Been hoping for a series or two in the Beast Arises style since it came out. Would jump on anything in that vein, but one set on the founding and/or final years of the Nova Terra era would be a mystery I'd like expanded. Or I'd settle for @DarkChaplain's Badab War (or the Abyssal Crusade and its aftermath).

Hehe. I'll admit that this is form me when I've read mostly HH stuff, so good points.

Lord_Caerolion Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 If they do a Badab War series, particularly with A D-B taking the Lamenters, words would not be able to describe my joy.
