Fedor Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Once the Siege ends, i'd rather BL just keep everything from HH timeline onward open as a setting and let the authors delve into what they want.

Vykes Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 .... -taps the big evil spiky table of the Chaos Conference Center- I wouldn't be the most displeased if the False Emperor turned out to have killed the glorious albeit weakened bird boy for a power up. Obviously, after having thrown him to the Lupercal who was unable to strike the death blow against his favourite brother, "this isn't even my final form, Horus!" Ahem... as much as I want Black Books focused on the scouring as they have more of a military 'history' bent on it, writing a full black library series is more like a 20-50 book denouement. It's a winding down of so many stakes and false anti-climaxes that I think it would work about as well as the Hobbit movie did to Lord of the Rings; all the real action and build up is already done, it's just a little bit of a petering out with a few notable events that capture people's attention. I would like to see a BL series for the crusades or for the Unification War to some extent though it risks the Hobbit gambit. But really, I get the feeling that a lot of the story for GW's 'XXK' series will be momentum going forward and adding primarchs back, not going back and losing more primarchs.

Vykes Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 What, you make it sound like prequels are typically a bad idea or something. Can't imagine where you got that mindset from. Admittedly HH is a prequel and I've liked it more than anything 40K's done in 20 years, literature wise (the absolute bleeding edge newest stuff I have no opinion on as I have Dark Imperium on the 'to read list').

As my name suggests - I am a big fan of the Dune novels (Frank Herbert's books). What Brian and Kevin did with their various prequels is simply horrific. We totally absolutely should never have had books about the Butlerian Jihad. It was so much better left to our imaginations. Same goes for the Great Crusade, Unification Wars and Dark Age of Technology. BL PLEASE LEAVE THOSE WELL ALONE AND MAINTAIN THEM AS MYTHS AND LEGENDS...PLEASE!!!!!

Moonreaper666 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 It doesn't need to be more than one novel to do it the justice we deserve .Of course it does. There’s no way to satisfyingly cover the whole siege of Terra in one novel. A lot happens in the Siege, over the course of a serious chunk of a year. Like, a lot. And it also needs to wrap up the arcs of about a hundred characters, one way or another. Hell, even if it didn't, a lot of stuff goes down in the Siege. Plus, we'd be crucified by the fandom for just doing it in one book. I'm breaking out in hives and fear-sweat just imagining the online fury. I am sure there will be at least 15 novels and it ends up getting very diluted. One novel would have been very exciting and that is what we were all expecting.I don’t think many people were expecting one novel for the siege. Considering the series had an opening trilogy, a closing trilogy was probably expected. And I’m not sure who’s being an apologist (or even what for?). I've quite literally never seen a single person say they were expecting (or wanting) just one Siege novel, until today. And I post on / read a lot of 40K forums, subreddits, and FB groups. Now, in what will come as absolutely no surprise to anyone who has even a passing familiarity with me, I was one of the ones on the HH team arguing for the least number of Siege novels. I think I was tied with another author on saying it needed to be the lowest number in the list of possible final figures. But doing it in a single novel just isn't something that matches up with the lore of what goes down on Terra. Hyperbolic claims of "It'll be a million novels, etc." are funny but no, it really won't be. What would be the death toll in the Siege of Terra? Which subfactions would be involve in the siege novels? Shpuld we expect surprise appearance of certain characters or factions? (Craftworld Eldar, Eldrad, Trazyn, Legion of the Damned, An'ggrath, Orks, etc.) Would Blackshields be on Terra? Would any other Loyalist Primarch besides Sanguinius die? What is your estimate on how many novels for the Siege?

bluntblade Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 AD-B: did John French deliberately withhold Sigismund going all Iko Uwais in PoD to build anticipation for when he slips the leash on Terra? Re the one novel argument: I suspect particular authors want to give "their Legions' a proper send off.

Mellow Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 The final Emperor and Horus fight will be: Sanguinius fights and covers Horus in tears. Then he loses. The Emperor comes in and fights and gets very damaged. Ollanius comes along with his athame blade and stabs Horus causing the chink in his armour. Horus vaporises him in a fit of rage. The Emperor sees His “last chance” with the chink in Horus’s armour and does the mind bullet. Dorn finds The Emperor.

Moonreaper666 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Should the Emperor's soul-destroying spell have a permanent negative side effect on the Emperor?

(Maybe, the Emperor is no longer a Perpetual or as powerful) I doubt it but I’m sure the old lore said He cast all of His compassion out when He did it. I suspect that some of it will have gone into the Warp to make the Starchild or whatever they want to call it in new retcon lore.

That'd actually be interesting, seeing how Guilliman's meeting with him as described in Dark Imperium turned out 10k years later. The Emperor being on some level diminished by his actions, not just by his near-death to Horus and enshrinement on the Golden Throne, could work nicely.
