I'm not certain if the HH ebooks are the proper, updated editions with internal art - they weren't last time.

Picked up the $1 tier and can confirm that artwork and afterwords are included this time.

Hm... I wanted to get the omnibus featuring the first three HH novels but if I can get those including art and afterword...I'm gonna go with this version instead.

 

Thanks, Dark! :)

The first 2 tiers being mostly repeats from the first bundle leaves a bit of a sour taste in my mouth

 

Also,if i'm not mistaken,the old HH bundle ended at Prospero Burns while this one restarts way later,skipping somewhere between 5 and 8 main books

 

Edit:went back to check,the first bundle had the first 15 books,up to Prospero Burns

 

Adding this one one means they skip the Outcast dead and Deliverance lost (+ a number of shorts' collections) to start back at Know no Fear,then again skipping Fear to Tread and Angel Exterminatus to get to Betrayer (once again skipping collections in the middle too).I dont know,seems a strange way to do it (and i dont see the usual "we'll add stuff later" HB does,so this should be it)

 

Le Edit 2: just realized the reason might be following the Calth storyline,considering the old bundle already included Macragge's honour too...

I've been waiting to get started on the Primarch series, I guess this is as good a sign as any. Heard some negative stuff about the Guilliman one, but the others seem mostly positive

[DarkChaplain]

I'll defend the Guilliman one again if need be. In short, Annandale pitched Guilliman's pragmatism against his idealism, all in the face of a threat that cares for neither (namely Orks), at the cost of his own Legion, all to prove to them and most notably himself that they aren't just destroyers (in multiple senses), while the Legion is still shaken from the events on Monarchia.

It's rather heavy on action, but the bulk of it is justified by the lines Annandale draws and serves the wider context of the story.
