Archaeinox Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) Next Monday's short story which will likely post is "Call of the Waaagh!" If you like Orks it's a fun story and well written I hope PA is good to them because I'd like to fight diverse Ork armies other than tons of grot guns Edited February 3, 2020 by Archaeinox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTaW Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I could see Saga of the Beast receiving a bit more runup with articles and such since it features the return of Ghazghkull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadFingers Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 That soon? So pa6 will be preorder March 7th? I really hope wolvesbare in it Didn't they do that already with other volumes? Posting stories and teasers for a volume before the previous one even hits shelves? I think they did that for Blood of Baal during the preorder week for Faith and Fury.

b1soul Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 A new triumvirate of fatigued G-man, wisened Russ, and a savage Corax (or angry Khan) could be a very interesting dynamic. I admit Corax would prob work better? Zephaniah Adriyen and painting.for.my.sanity 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephaniah Adriyen Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 and a savage Corax This, I want this. I want him to be Girlyman-sized, I want him to have a pair of super-lightning-claws and I want him to have powers and abilities in line with what he's currently up to in the 42nd, out in the warp. I want him to be a Lord of War, I want him to have at least a Chapter Master aura and I want him to give bonus CP for being Warlord. I want him to have Fly and Monster, and I want him to have a deepstrike and an anti-Overwatch ability. Finally, I want him to be a $60 model like Girlyman so I can afford him.

Red_Shift Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Ephrael Stern, the Eldar dude (harlequin?) + the Khan for me. More triumverate boxes would be cool. Dorn can come back with a full Templar release! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanosquid Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 The Khan is the only loyalist worth anyone's time in my opinion. Boy, I'm glad Dorn is dead.

Boytoy Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 what about a trio of triumvirates, like we had with gathering storm? crusader dorn with an updated grimaldus and helbrecht. odin russ and his two wolves. the lion and updated azrael and belial.

Guest Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Isn't Dorn's body encased in amber and his skeletal hand displayed with the names of each Chapter Master scrimshawed on the bones?

Curze prophetic vision/past tense referal of him being Dorn to pieces. 2 seperate books. The latter also mentioned sanguinius and Ferrus also being dead. But he's a madman they say, but he's insane they say. The villain can never possibly tell the truth, because the truth is as weaponised as a well placed lie. But what need has Curze to lie when he's talking to a finely crafted, fleshy, representation of the Emperor. Or you know enjoy the dorn lives meme.

His body encased in amber has been retconned. The hand and all of its scrimshaw is still true. However we know from "Praetorian of Dorn" that he has access to a couple of Primarch hands should he ever be in the situation where he wants to fake his own death. I just have this lovely little headcannon that the IF Chapter Masters have been carving their names on Alpharius's bones for the last 9000 years.

The villain can never possibly tell the truth, because the truth is as weaponised as a well placed lie. But what need has Curze to lie when he's talking to a finely crafted, fleshy, representation of the Emperor. Ruinstorm heavily implies that Curze's visions are not guaranteed. Rather they tend to show the worst possible futures and being a nihilist, he tends to act in a way that brings those worst futures about. We know that Curze tried to warn Dorn but it all went a but pear-shaped. We also know that Sanguinius understands the nature of Curze's visions. Possibly he warned Dorn prior to the Siege and Dorn took precautions (Back to the Future style). Red_Shift 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1soul Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I think the retcons have been deliberate to promote ambiguity. We have no idea about the fates of Dorn and Valdor in the current fluff. Karhedron 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Officer Doofy Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I think the retcons have been deliberate to promote ambiguity. We have no idea about the fates of Dorn and Valdor in the current fluff. Sometimes I feel like GW makes more retcons than it does new fluff. If Dorn isn't dead but just oddly missing a hand and taking 10,000 year vacation what's to stop them from retconning and/or bringing back Horus, Sanguinius, Manus, Curze and Alpharius/Omegon... And the retcons are for sure promoting ambiguity and eventually sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Shift Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 It's not that big a retcon though, considering that Dorn being dead is from the novel Space Marine which was out of print for many years and also featured buttock branding and space marines piloting titans. Sanguinius' sacrifice on the other hand has been major stuff for years across different publications. Back to psychic awakening speculation, is Yarrick now dead? He was old at the time of the last Armageddon conflict and I can't see much of a role for him going forward with his age. Which leaves the guard with basically no memorable characters as Creed was turned into a museum exhibit. Bit of a mess, imo, destroyed Cadia, the planet that the current miniature range is based around, killed off the characters and left the fan base a bit high and dry. Surely there will have to be new guard infantry and characters before long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Potato Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Isn’t Yarrick still alive because the Orks think he’s still alive? Also, no Guard characters? All the Catachans are still alive - Straken, Harker and Sly Marbo. Edited February 9, 2020 by Sky Potato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Shift Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 If Shadowsun has had to be in and out of stasis to survive til now, the catachan characters have long been worm food. Zephaniah Adriyen and Panzer 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can do literally everything they want to with their fictional universe. The only question is whether or not they think it's a good idea to do so.

There have been strong theories and even lore hints about it. Horus= His soul was shoved inside Abaddon. Sangy=Soul floats around the warp Manus=Leads the LotD Curze=unconfirmed death Alpharius= Omegon isn't dead, or there is a triplet, or this Primarch can clone itself.
