Tolmeus Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 (edited) I'm not particularly fond of these comic-style covers. LE's style used to be more grimdark. It's probably just another marketing decision. The style of the hardcover book, on the other hand, is fine.

Honestly I dont even like the new design for the Necrons, this guy looks like hes getting ready for a Larping photoshoot rather than actually being a Necron lord with some semblance of being a technologically advanced ancient terminator alien race, the modern Necrons are just lame. And I mean this coming from playing the Dawn of War games, these are just not the same Necrons at all and i wish GW would push back on their modern designs wheres everything is just way too much and ostentatious without thought of like hey does this thing this guy has on his armour actually have a practical purpose. The old necrons were deadly this guy looks like hes gonna have a chat about how much hes depressed that his artifact thingy doesnt work because the scale is off balance and now he has to go find some other Mcguffin from some zany Necron who has lost their mind a little bit. theSpirea and Tolmeus 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384814-upcoming-bl-stuff-2025/page/36/#findComment-6133349 Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the starting trailer for Dawn of War: Dark Crusade was the epitome of picturing the Necrons as cold killing machines. And the Flayed Ones showed that even more (I mean, nobody took their ‘disguise’ seriously, but that made them all the more sinister).

darkhorse0607 Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Wondered where Master of Rites ended up. Thanks for doing the good work Also, not mad that Dropsite Massacre and Ashes of the Imperium swtiched places. That way we all have something to complain about over Christmas. That, and I think while I am a tried and true Wraight fan, I'm looking forward to Dropsite Massacre a bit more.

Fedor Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 I wonder what approach the Dropsite book will take. The epic Know No Fear approach, with a big cast and viewpoints from most of the legions? The usual medium-scale HH/BL fare, with some of the huge players + captains and some Guardsmen/a Titan crew? A more in-depth look at it through the eyes of a smaller cast? 400 pages of first-person Ferrus?

The Praetorian of Inwit Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Disappointed that Ashes is delayed. Must be a printing issue at this stage as the actual writing must be finished, if not finished some time ago (presumably they have a least 2 or 3 books in this series written already). Looking forward to Dropsite Massacre.

From the blurb "We’ll follow old faithfuls such as Maloghurst the Twisted and Khârn of the 8th on Isstvan V, alongside newer characters like Castrmen Orth of the Iron Hands and Kaedes Nex, the Blood Crow." I feel like its going to be similar to how he did Slaves to Darkness with jumping between the various characters individual stories before the conclusion Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384814-upcoming-bl-stuff-2025/page/36/#findComment-6133791 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to Dropsite Massacre. I like to imagine its likely the Scouring Series has limited editions planned and they want to have a system in place to stop the scalping issue before releasing it. It also seems like theres a huge demand for hardcover novels so its possible a printing issue is also a factor which also pertains to the issue that people will scalp the hardcovers as well. theSpirea 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384814-upcoming-bl-stuff-2025/page/36/#findComment-6133987 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Antipodes Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Black Library had the digital versions of Tomb World up on their site well before the usual pre-order time again this week. I wonder if this is another error, like we assumed when it happened last week, or a new release policy?

skylerboodie Posted Saturday at 11:42 AM Share Posted Saturday at 11:42 AM re: Yarrick boxset - CONTENTS – Imperial Creed (novel) – The Pyres of Armageddon (novel) – Chains of Golgotha (short story) – A Plague of Saints (short story) – The Wreckage (short story) – Evil Eye (short story) – The Gallows Saint (short story) – Sacrificial (short story) – Sarcophagus (short story) Annoying that again Black Library have excluded short story "Concordat" from the Yarrick box set; they seemed to forget it from the paperback omnibus and not corrected it here either.

Fury of Magnus and Sons of the Selenar both did but I think youre right Granted they've done LEs since then, I cant imagine it'd go over well if they announced an LE for this before they've even redone the LE for Era of Ruin skylerboodie 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384814-upcoming-bl-stuff-2025/page/36/#findComment-6135155 Share on other sites More sharing options...
System Sound Posted yesterday at 07:08 AM Share Posted yesterday at 07:08 AM (edited) Chtonias Reckoning didn't have a LE either and that was a HH 2.0 tie in, as this is a tie in for 3.0, I don't expect it to get an LE. I would be surprised if Ashes doesn't get an LE however. FALSE!

63-19 Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Around 1-2 years ago there were scalpers on ebay selling them less than msrp, something like 30 usd. So yeah, sold poorly with no interest. First time I've seen scalpers eat it for les.
