Joe Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Pretty slim looking art book for HH. I'm certain people would rather they just re-print Visions of Heresy / Collected Visions.

MoriyaSchism Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I missed the preview. What did they say about this one? Is it just a collection of book cover art?

Blindhamster Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 looks like it'll be fairly meh honestly, I'm betting on insane price for the size of the book.

Taliesin Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I like the look of this one: Quote This visual guide to the Age of Darkness charts the Horus Heresy series across 200+ pages of full-colour cover illustrations, from the hellish betrayal on Isstvan III to the climactic Siege of Terra. Series artist Neil Roberts also adds detailed commentary and reflections of the series as a whole, granting extra insight into the amazing artwork created for such an epic series.

SalamandersBro Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I really like the art of Horus Heresy. I'd get this if it is under $100 USD.

Pacific81 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Is this the reason none of the incredible artwork they had made it into the Legions Imperialis rulebook.

Doobles57 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 As long as it's reasonably priced I may get this to go with the Collected Visions book. That said, I'm assuming this will be all in a fairly similar style - that of the novel covers. The thing I loved about the CV book is that it's a whole range of styles dating back to be before they really set the "rules" of what everything looked like. So there's some weird stuff and random armour and vehicles. It's a proper source of inspiration. This feels more like "a nice art book", which while no bad thing, isn't as exciting. apologist, tinpact and Pacific81 1 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/381876-the-art-of-the-horus-heresy/#findComment-6009002 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Observant Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 It could be the primarch book for Horus artwork. Obviously missing horus rn.

Pacific81 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Just as a side note, if anyone wants to see lots of the Collected Visions artwork check out the mobile game Horus Heresy: Legions. Honestly I can take or leave the game itself, but it has a good chunk of the art from the CV books and TCG, and really nice to see.

skylerboodie Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 False Gods was the only cover not done by Neil Roberts (it was Phil Sibbering f I recall correctly), so it makes sense if they gave Neil the opportunity to have his own go at this one cover, so he can 'complete the set' for the whole series. I expect it's the only new one.
