Charlo Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 "On the Terran side of the Imperium, Guy Haley has been communing with the Omnissiah to craft a tale of the most important tech-priest in the galaxy. Belisarius Cawl: The Great Work brings the magos biologis to Sotha, once the home world of the Scythes of the Emperor, and long before that a key planet in an empire long forgotten. This story has big ramifications for the lore of Warhammer 40,000…" Magos Takatus, N1SB, Lord Ragnarok and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Takatus Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I'll have to keep an eye out for this one. I've probably got quite a few 8th edition novels that I need to catch up on though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burni Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Looking forward to this. I am a fan of the Dark Imperium setting and have just painted up Cawl, so this book sounds ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) Yeah definitely getting this, honestly I think they have a bit of a gold mine here. Explaining what happened over 10,000 years from the moment BG sent him off to do his tasks. Starting in the Heresy and finishing in 40k, also explaining the shift from the Mechanicum into the Mechanicus... So much potential. It is almost like the story of the Emperor(Except broken up) with Cawl just being the technology side of the story. He is hidden away creating tech> Then we have Guilliman's story of being the statesman in Plague War. Edited June 1, 2019 by Black_Knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clanfield Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I realy wana know more about cawl and from the cover the scythes are in too which is awsome and black knight may well be onto something regarding the omissah's avatar great days brothers we live in great days :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I really can't wait for this. Cawl is a fascinating character and stories around him could be the most interesting. Guy Haley is also at the top of his game, currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Takatus Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I want to know what the harmonica/duck bill thing in front of his face is for but sadly I doubt that secret will be revealed in the novel. I think this will be the first time we've even seen characters exploring a post-Tyranid world isn't it? I only recall it being mentioned vaguely in the past. I know you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, but that's a nice cover. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) I haven't read the story based on the planet that had an item that made things happen, but I generally know what the item does, so will be interesting to push that forward. No spoilers I think. Edited June 2, 2019 by Black_Knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 OMG YES! I've asked so many times for this. I know a lot of people despise the 'new' background of Cawl, Primaris, but just let me have this indulgence. I really enjoy this character, and he's one of the main reason I have such a large Mars army. I cannot wait for this.; Charlo, Magos Takatus and Ishagu 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
