chevalierdulys Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 I would like to ask you, is there a site/way of knowing X, Y or Z novel belong to pre dark emperium, after x book etc, like a guide? I know a horus heresy exist. I know that the vast majority can be read (on their own except of course series) but is there a reading order? from what I am seeing here that are books from a author connected to another and so on... (of course I know most novels by the same author maintain a logic - I hope) but I didn't knew solo novels from one author followed another (one example would be all blood angels novels since the first publish by james swallow until now it's kind hard to follow - bear in mind that I've not read any of those) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ubiquitous1984 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 A rare 40K audiobook appearance this week for the GOAT Jonathan Keeble. He is the narrator of the new Crusader of Dorn audiobook. Perhaps chosen because he was the Helsreach narrator? Either way it’s always a treat to see his name listed as narrator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkChaplain Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 With Warboss out next Saturday, has Mike Brooks ever given an official series name for his Orks stories? Some are centered on Ufthak, others are not, but still feature him (like Warboss apparently does). There's also the Snaggi Littletoof short. I think with how much he's written and all the recurring elements and characters, there's got to be some title for the overall body of work at this point.

OpossumStrong Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 I don't think tau is very popular, so probably it's a standard "standard" edition. They didn't bother to update the coming soon page, again, i understand that books aren't their main income, but cmon GW, atleast pretend you care DarkChaplain, skylerboodie, Felix Antipodes and 1 other 1 1 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either remove the banner and keep us in the dark altogether (since we retrive more information from bookdepository or fnac anyway). BTW, bookdepository already puts Longshot to be published in August, another anthology For Glory and Honour (fist of imperium, apocalpyse and honour and iron) plus lords of blood (Dante, Devastation of Baal, DArkness in the Blood & Astorath: Angel of MErcy). And finally The Great Devourer: Leviathan with Valedor, & four novellas. Hmm So blood angels & tyranids in may. Some hinted here and other forums upon new tyranids fluff so maybe this is it?

OpossumStrong Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I've tried some tau lore from codex and books, it was kinda "dry", not sure is it me or the faction or the writers, but i could connect to most of the factions, but tau is beyond me(for now).

I read Shadowsun back when the LE came out, having not really clicked with the T’au as a faction before then (or to be honest, read anything much about them). Since finishing the book, my desk has been covered with Fire Warriors and Pathfinders- I can’t stop building them. Still not 100% convinced by the novel, but it did manage to ignite an interest in the faction. Ubiquitous1984 and Kelborn 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelborn Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I've scrolled through a reddit thread covering the book and wasn't impressed. What's your conclusion, @aa.logan?

I will legitimately never understand how Abnett gets away with doing this constantly and Kelly is excoriated for it. Shadowsun gives really good insight into how the Tau's composite nature (an alliance of many different peoples, with different interests) both works and doesn't work. I also think the direction we're going with That Thing Wot Lives In The Spacehole is great for the faction, and I'd wonder aloud if people would be so down on this movement if it was using Farsight as a vehicle instead. Either way, Shadowsun is one of the best characters in the setting and I really want to see more of her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a sucker for ‘first contact’ stories and this has a good bit of that. I’ve not (yet) read any of the other Kelly T’au books, so my opinion here may be crucially uninformed. If it’s bad, at least it’s not too long… Kelborn 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
