Book 4 Siege of Terra Spoilers! Beware!

[Aztek]

 

 

Fellow Dark Angels, GET HYPE! We're at the Siege baby! If I was a betting man I'd say we get a Corswain model reveal on the next Road to Thramas.

I am Alpharius

[Marshal Rohr]

I knew they'd do this and I am very hype. 

[Darkwrath121]

That is my fear with this, that it's just some "Haha! Alpha Legion!" plot thing.

 

It would be a nice way to put a bit more pressure on the traitors, while giving Corswain more spotlight. A criminally under-depicted character, whose much-vaunted skill with a blade is only seen once, in a flashback in a single 40k-era story.

It'd be nice for Alpha Legion to have a Siege moment that isn't a faceplant :p

[StrangerOrders]

At least some Legions are going to get a good showing.

 

The UMs ain't getting jack and the Wolves are likely going to be more humiliated yet since McNeil is the one who grabbed them.

 

The Salies are going to get unreasonable attention somehow though.

 

Not sure if the RG and IHs are getting anything more than Selenar, but hey thats a pretty big contribution.

[Marshal Vespasian]

Thats a pretty cool scene

[Leif Bearclaw]

Well, I genuinely hope that's just some AL shenanigans (or hallucination/mirage cliffhanger fake out). Because having a major DA presence at the Siege is garbage of the first order.

[Biscuittzz]

No, Corswain was of the 9th Order.

I am glad it is not Roboute and the Ultras that get there first. I am glad that the loyalist relief is starting at a trickle, rather then just one massive wave right at the end. Also glad they left the Lion out for now so the fence sitting old lore ( which out of universe we know was never true) still has a leg to stand on.

[Dumah]

I think it was always ludicrous to think that no elements of the other loyal legions were present at the siege. This is a welcome addition.

[Biscuittzz]

FW books give snippets of forces from all legions as being involved. For example, a Raven Guard battlecruiser is said to have been involved in the Siege or initial parts of the Solar War anyway. Whether the authors touch on these things is another story all together.

They aren’t at the Siege they’re in the Solar System. Big difference.

[Silent Observant]

Yep, would be interesting if some solar objects (moons, stations) are missing in the 40k universe to the Dark Angels Dread Wing "Paciification" :p

[depthcharge12]

It’d be cool to see DAs v IW for the siege weapon revengeancing. Maybe some fights on the naval yards and the moon.

[Astartes Consul]

IMO it was a perfect teaser ending to the book. I'd imagine that part of the narrative of the latter books will now be 'Loyalist reinforcements fight their way through Perturabo's defenses', seeing as we kept on being reminded in Lost and the Damned that the Iron Warriors were spending all their time fortifying the outer system.

 

Works better to ratchet up the tension than just 'Guilliman, The Lion and others are going to be here soon!' as an off screen presence.  

[Marshal Rohr]

The concept of the three legions at Terra, the Wolves/Angels/Ultras coming in hot from the Outer Solar System, and the Shattered Legions doing their thing throughout is awesome and will make for really cool lore when FW gets to the black books.

[Taliesin]

We could be reading that in 2035.

[Silent Observant]

Was just thinking, that Mars hasn't been covered too much... and the DA's were made to counter Mars.... Fingers Crossed :)
