theSpirea Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Can't find it anymore but noticed Valdor - Birth of the Imperium listed in one of the retailers' sheets as paperback coming out in September. Not sure if it was an error and was quickly corrected and that's why I can't find it anymore. A5 hardbacks usually don't get paperback treatment (I don't count collected multiple titles in omnibus). Noted down at least the ISNB 9781804075104 Ubiquitous1984 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheywood Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Fnac’s been updated with the rest of March’s releases (barring any additional LEs) On the 18th Mike Brooks’ Warboss is up for preorder. It came out in LE format last August. Everyone who enjoyed Brutal Kunnin’ should check this out, it’s some of Brooks’ best work: https://www.fnac.com/livre-numerique/a17884984/Mike-Brooks-Warboss#omnsearchpos=13 On the 25th we’ve got Phil Kelly’s Shadowsun novel. I haven’t read it but I’ve seen a few people saying it’s better than his other Tau work: https://www.fnac.com/livre-numerique/a17886280/Phil-Kelly-Shadowsun-The-Patient-Hunter#omnsearchpos=10 Ubiquitous1984 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aa.logan Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Genuinely pleased about this model almost as much as the book. I’ve not listened to any of the audiobook versions, but I do like the vaguely geordie accent in the model video- does anyone know if this is her regular voice? (also a big fan of the lasgun alternative build) JustinDHill 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I like the model, and an omnibus to make it easier to read the released books. Are they worth a read? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely; I’ll caveat it by saying that I probably preferred his first, non-Lesk Cadian book, but Cadian Honour onward are still worth reading in their own right- though don’t put too much stock in the recaff subplot in the first book as it goes absolutely nowhere, unless Hill is playing a *very* long game… JustinDHill and Fire Golem 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a consistently strong Guard series, IMO. Hill's prose is very to the point and isn't for everyone, but I think it's a perfect fit for the stories being told.

DukeLeto69 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 FWIW Hill’s books are damn good. I actually prefer Cadian Honour and Traitor Rock to Cadia Stands. Glad we are getting another novel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolmeus Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) Always nice to see that the same characters on Ebay are selling already books that are not yet released.

chevalierdulys Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Can ebay really do anything besides selling something they clear don't have this moment? I mean, not speaeking morally, what can ebay do, when you purchase something for X and sell XXX? We should be reporting to GW. Maybe they could grab some information from it (if the person puts the number of limited edition - maybe they can track it therE? by email, I don't know...

aa.logan Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Cypher seems to have more reasonable demand; copies still available on the NZ site 12 minutes after release. Hoping I don’t regret not ordering a copy that way in the morning… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevalierdulys Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I also got it :) But even so, in europe it only lasted 8 minutes. If you have a problem in your connection you will have to purchase on evilbay for 200€. They are already there.

System Sound Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Warboss is finally out of LE hell next week! And Crusaders of Dorn get an audiobook treatment. Ubiquitous1984, Tolmeus and Roomsky 1 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkChaplain Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 And to my eternal annoyance, Crusaders of Dorn still does not include The Eternal Crusader, which is THE big story of Haley's as far as the Black Templars are concerned. It's the companion novella to Helsreach, in a sense. But while the shorts in Crusaders of Dorn build on it, it's not actually part of the collection, because BL decided back then that having a hardback novella & expensive ebook makes more sense than a full-sized SMB anthology. Adding The Eternal Crusader to it would've bumped it up to a reasonably full package, but nope. ...and instead of correcting this error of judgment, they're basically ruling out that The Eternal Crusader will ever get recorded on its own with this move. I've been wanting BL to finally get their heads out of their collective arses for years on the matter of audio anthologies, and they decide on this.... for shame.

Master Ciaphas Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) I also managed to get my grubby mitts on the LE Cypher: Lord of the Fallen. Quite pleased, as I am an inveterate Dark Angel fan - and have all the other Dark Angel books in limited edition as well (Luther, Lion El'Johnson, Azrael). Really looking forward to reading it - even more, as it is FINALLY a Dark Angel book not written by Gav Thorpe! Huzzah!

Roomsky Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Haven't seen them in the usual places: a few more omnibuses seem to be on their way, as per my local book store: Lords of Blood by Guy Haley "This omnibus by Guy Haley contains the novels Dante, The Devastation of Baal, Darkness in the Blood and Astorath: Angel of Mercy as well as the short story Redeemer." For Honour and Glory SMC collection, Fist of the Imperium, Apocalypse, and Of Honour and Iron Tolmeus, skylerboodie and Ubiquitous1984 1 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkChaplain Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Hah, so Astorath is included too, as I was hoping. Nice! A few pages back, I'd mentioned the omnibus, but only the German edition was listed at the time, and I had to infer the contents based on the listed translation staff. Lords of Blood and For Honour and Glory make me think that Space Marine Conquests are well and truly over. There's only a few entries not omnibus'd, but they'd fit well into general Chapter omnibuses anyway.

Kelborn Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 It was also a great way of portraying successor chapters and other "minor" factions and the likes aside from entire trilogies or big advertised yet not delivering novels. Wrath of Iron is still the best IH story, imho and that was one of the earliest SMBs we got. Tolmeus and Sothalor 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
