karden00 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Dantalion would’ve been so.bloody.perfect. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356948-maximus-thane-in-the-siege-of-terra-series/page/3/#findComment-5353974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izlude Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Second that. Dantalion was actually one of the stand out characters in the TBA series. Haley would have looked like a super star if he linked it with him instead as it was super clear that Dantalion was from the HH era!

Moonreaper666 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Is there a rule that Black Library writers can't search stuff about Warhammer on the Internet, particularly Lexicanum? I feel like Haley shouldn't have ever done something as stupid as this. He should have asked his fellow writers about Thane to decide if he was a good fit for the Heresy Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356948-maximus-thane-in-the-siege-of-terra-series/page/3/#findComment-5354299 Share on other sites More sharing options...
karden00 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Is it unreasonable to hope/want/assume an author with the BL to have at least as much familiarity with the lore that we fraters on the board do? I’m not interested in beating a dead horse, but this seems a reasonable thing to assume doesn’t it?

Wulfburk Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Its also weird that Thane's company are the Exemplars. So, Dantalion created the chapter, and asked thane "yo, got a cool name for a chapter?' Instead of, you know, it being based on dantalion's own stuff or somethin Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356948-maximus-thane-in-the-siege-of-terra-series/page/3/#findComment-5354593 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not interested in beating a dead horse, but this seems a reasonable thing to assume doesn’t it? Can another author retcon it to being two or multiple Thanes?

Medjugorje Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I think we Need exactly that. Maybe in future any things like this wont happen.

b1soul Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 A poorly thought out tweet can simply be fixed by another tweet Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356948-maximus-thane-in-the-siege-of-terra-series/page/3/#findComment-5365833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halandaar Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Even if he walks back the tweet and says that actually, these two Maximus Thane's are different individuals, the content of the book and the Company of Imperial Fists known as the Exemplars undercuts the story of how the Fists Exemplar got their name in The Beast Arises. At this point to tidy it up you need to say one or the other is wrong.

DarkChaplain Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I mean, if it bothers you that much, maybe print some sticky labels of "Oriax Dantalion" and paste them into every mention of Maximus Thane throughout the novel. It's even easier in the ebook - just search & replace all Maximus with Oriax and all Thane with Dantalion, done. There, solved. Obviously, this doesn't work quite as smoothly for audio listeners. In that case, I'd recommend preparing for the book's release by practicing self-hypnotism and mentally linking the two names through repetition. Maximus Thane is Oriax Dantalion. Maximum Thane is Oriax Dantalion. If you're really nifty, you can put on a headset and play a recording on infinite loop when you head to bed, and by the time you wake up, the two should be synonymous to you. Lifehacks, right there.
