HH Series ending soon. Siege will be another series


Recommended Posts

Siege of Terra: The Solar War. John French.

 

First novel of the series. French will be discussing it at the weekender.

Yes. Time for Efried, Cazzimus and the Solar Auxilia to shine.

 

Dreadwing will not happen, alas. What was meant to be Dreadwing got folded into AoC. Which is a real shame, one of the great Could Have Beens of the series.

Dreadwing is happening, at least in terms of title. There's a panel at the Weekender with the two Davids:

 

Presaging the Siege of Terra
Authors David Annandale and David Guymer offer special insight into their new Siege of Terra prequel novellas, Spear of Ultramar and Dreadwing

 

 

Also looks like Hubris of Monarchia won't be the only audio drama tie-in to Calth

 

Shadows of Calth

Nick Kyme and Andy Smillie talk Calth, the Horus Heresy and Ultramarines in relation to their new audio dramas featuring the indomitable Thirteenth Legion

 

 
A lot of focus on novellas this time, it seems. Cool.

Missed this...but smashing news

 

Makes a lot of sense and French is sure to build on PoD

What on earth is Spear of Ultramar?! Fanboy that I am, I’m not sure I love the XIIIth having too much of a role at the siege. At most I kinda thought the Macragges Honour shoring up would’ve been neat but... hmmm...

Stoked for the Solar War, even if I think space battles are far from French's forte (I'll admit I was hoping for ADB or Abnett). That said, I think he has a great thematic understanding of the setting, and is an excellent choice for setting the stage for the larger narrative. He also writes my favorite Dorn, Perturabo, Fulgrim, and my second favorite Horus. Hopefully he can pull another Tallarn: Executioner and make a surprisingly real tale of 40k war.

Siege of Terra prequel novellas. They likely won't be at the actual Siege itself.

  • 3 months later...

I would love to see Nick Horth get a go at one, his city of secrets is superb. Justin D Hill is another I would love to see in the mix....Horth and Hill have both proven they can do human soldiers exceptionally well.

A new flavour for a new series

Wouldn’t that be cool! ;-)

 

Furiously scratches head for pitch ideas....
