bluntblade Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 As we near the end of the BL Heresy series and wish that some things had gone differently, I started wondering about some of the factions in the Forge World Black Books. Which do you most wish had made the leap into the BL material? My personal pick would be House Ærthegn. The idea of Knights turning to outright banditry is cool to me, and it would be sweet to see them in action alongside the SoH.

Marshal Rohr Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I like the delineation because it feels like Ærthegn and Agathon and Draykavac are our stories while Black Library is the main narrative of the Heresy. That being said, a novel about Ærthegn absolutely tearing apart some loyalists and raiding their way to Terra like outlaw knights in a medieval story would be pretty damn cool :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358441-best-fw-only-faction/#findComment-5388602 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I wish we'd heard more about the Charonid Sentinels. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358441-best-fw-only-faction/#findComment-5388641 Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1soul Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 House Orlacc All the early Terran Legion lore would make for a great "Time of Legends" setting Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358441-best-fw-only-faction/#findComment-5388649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Loss Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Would have liked to see a capable author write about Autek Mor and his merry band of homicidal maniacs rather than all the shattered legion junk we received. They'd have added real depth to the "shades of grey" aspect of 30k.

bluntblade Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 I knew I'd miss an obvious one! I kinda wish we'd seen the Cthonian Jackals and the like within Horus' personal war machine.

Jackalwolf Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I'll take a character series of perpetuals or the Lucifer Blacks. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358441-best-fw-only-faction/#findComment-5389114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ficinus Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 The crew of the Ebon Drake, the Disciples of Flame, are probably my favorite faction in the heresy and it would be awesome to see them in greater detail.

m0nolith Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Battle of Bodt from Book 6. When you force a moon to crash down into the planet to destroy it...well that’s just awesome.

b1soul Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 All of the Terran legions count as FW-only factions, no? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358441-best-fw-only-faction/#findComment-5390695 Share on other sites More sharing options...
