Scratching my head.  When I first read the WarCom BL article I’m sure it started by mentioning the ‘upcoming December celebration’.  When I went back just now there is no mention of it.  Doesn’t bode well for the annual knees up.

I think it was mentioned during the stream, but not written into the article.

Ok so i may have done a couple of lines of warpdust but hear me out. 

 

Like the HH has the siege of terra minis series, Haley has made his own mini series in dawn of fire. WAIT HEAR ME OUT. 

 

The first Dawn of Fire book contains a whole (and very very fun/awesome) subplot about a terran scribe and her wacky trip to delivery the divine warning about...the pariah nexus. A warning we see in the book is being divinely pushed all over terra and one we know get to Guiliman. 

 

Then some stuff happens that is part of the main series in books 2-7 but honestly who cares its not by Haley and it doesn't really have a narratively plot or actually much connection to anything in the first book other then existing in the same timeline. 

 

BUT THEN book 8 baby! A book that looks like it will pick up exactly where the previo... i meant book 6... 5?. Picks up exactly where book 1 the REAL previous book in this 2 book dawn of fire mini series left off. The divine warning and our heroes actions in book one spur the Primarch into action and the duology concludes its overreaching plot of the history of the indomitus crusade...the hands of abaddon....the shards of the anathema... the pariah nexus and the Imperials response to it. 

 

When you think about it, it kinda all makes perfect sense really.

'Guy Haley. We of the Games Workshop wish to commission you for another trilogy.'

 

'I am humbled, my lords plasticine, but I yet bleed from the fan-wounds inflicted upon me in the forging of the Dark Imperium trilogy. Even your munificent foresight to direct me to re-write the series before I had even completed it did not fully shield me from their slings and barbs.'

 

'Hm. Yes. Even gnats may bring down a bull-grox if they are sufficient in number, Guy Haley. But what if... we were to conceal this new trilogy, cloak it in the most foul and deceptive marketing known to this realm? What if we were to send our foul emissaries to the four cornerstones of the world, proclaiming it to be the Horus Heresy come again? And you, our chosen scribe, to remark in interviews that it would tell a story as grand and terrible in scope and scale as the Great Crusade itself? Would that armour suffice, Guy Haley?'

 

'My lords... once again your cruelty and malice surpass all others... the fandom will be taken in entire, unable to resist your machinations... only...'

 

''Only', Guy Haley? Speak.'

 

'Only... you have not yet named the price, my lords... and I have no hair left to sacrifice...'

 

'Think not of the cost, Guy Haley. Others will pay it: there are those who must ink their fealty in blood. Anderson Clark. Marcus Collins. Christopher Wraight. [evil hiss!] Their suffering, their humiliation, in this pretend-series will shroud your trilogy and render unto us what is due.'

 

'M-my lords... truly... I prostrate myself...'

 

'Enough, Guy Haley! To the word-mines with you! To the writing-desk, until your hands bleed, your brain bursts - bring us a trilogy to shake the rotten foundations of this world, or know our fearsome curse! Do you wish to spend your life as understudy to the Abentt?' [shrill screams from below, the boom of thunder] 'Go! Go, and do not return until the work is complete!'

 

[Guy Haley scurries away on bended knee, risking one last fearful glance behind as the great doors of the dread Workshop slam behind him]
