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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. Armchair Warlord 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quotes suggest it's just existing art (the covers for the HH series). It says 200+ pages, and there are near enough a hundred books in the setting.

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. I guess you can buy this one, cut out the images and stick them in all of the empty half-pages that rulebook has?

Ahw man, new art. Now I have to get it... Also wait a gosh darned second: if they're commissioning new art for existing books. Could it be they're planning to do a reprint of the Horus Heresy novels?? Edited December 12, 2023 by matcap86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. tinpact, apologist and Pacific81 1 2 Back to top Link to comment 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. They usually have legionaires and take an "action pose" somewhere in the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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.

I really like that new piece, but I also can't help but wonder if they're commissioning or "redoing" older book covers to match the new models so that way people don't see a bunch of old kits on the covers of their biggest series only to find out that's not what the models look like anymore and they can't buy them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being more of an amalgamation of Mk4, mk7 and with godwyn pattern bolters. Still cool art though.

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. Silent Observant, Petitioner's City and lansalt 1 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
