Brother Clavero Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Does anyone know if there are any books that deal with the war on Caliban during the Horus Heresy? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/366011-the-war-on-caliban/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkChaplain Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 The climax on the Horus Heresy end hasn't been written yet, but there are glimpses throughout 40k Dark Angels fiction - most notably a flipside narrative in The Unforgiven, the third book in the Legacy of Caliban trilogy by Gav Thorpe (which also builds heavily on Angels of Darkness and involves some plot points of The Purging of Kadillus in the first book especially). A few of Gav's short stories also give hints as to the final war, but again, that's always connected more with unreliable narrators and frameworks that may be deceptive. Gav hopes to be the one to wrap up the Caliban storyline after the Heresy's end (as in, narratively, it happens after the Siege), but nothing has been decided so far that we are aware of. It'll most assuredly be told in the future, by whoever, but it's still years out at best.

Noserenda Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Most of the Dark angel ones deal with its build up but the actual battle takes place in the Scouring so they havent got to it yet :) WrathOfTheLion and Brother Clavero 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/366011-the-war-on-caliban/#findComment-5588112 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Ciaphas Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I really, really hope that it will be someone else than Gav Thorpe who does the Battle of Caliban. Thorpes writing is as dry as cardbord left in the sun in the Nevada Valley for weeks...

R_F_D Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 The latest Horus Heresy characters series will be a book on Luther by Gav Thorpe. The Warhammer Community post isn't particularly full of detail but it isn't outside of the realms of possibility that it could touch on the war on Caliban.

Taliesin Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) Looks like Book 9 in the Black Book series, released this week, will focus on that.

Matcap86 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Looks like Book 9 in the Black Book series, released this week, will focus on that. I'd be surprised if that's the case, seeing as the focus is the Thramas Crusade, which happens years before the breaking of Caliban.

Silent Observant Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Looks like Book 9 in the Black Book series, released this week, will focus on that. Nope, unless you are referring to the lions cleansing crusade of the beasts of caliban. The black book focuses on the Thramas crusade which is on the opposite side of the galaxy as Caliban. Caliban will get some good mentions and as always the narrator may hint at upcoming things but until we get to the scouring for both FW and BL there will likely be no official story until then.

Interesting so we get some input on dark angels vs night lords then.

Kelborn Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Yes, the Thramas Crusade. I expect some world building around the sector and the Caliban system. But let's wait for the spoilers. There won't be that much - if any- stuff about the split and the war on Caliban.
