Upcoming BL Stuff 2025

[Felix Antipodes]

I was also excited when I read that The Guns of Enth would feature the Howling Griffins, it was pretty obvious in the end that they were only there to play the adversarial role and not Wilt’s main focus within the story.  I came away feeling the Chapter were short changed within their own story.  And this from someone who enjoys his stories overall.

Audible put both Spear of Ultramar and Dreadwing up this morning for those waiting. No sign of Dropsite Massacre, but Amazon doesn't list the hardback as releasing in the US until November 18th, and there's no listing of the audio version on BL's website (even though in theory it should have the same release as the other two, which are already up) so who knows what's going on with that

I highly recommend both of those stories, but if I had to pick, it'd be Spear of Ultramar. The deployment of the Destroyers, Guilliman getting the what-price-victory treatment, the Iron Warriors showing why they were the Heresy MVPs. Stopping a Primarch and his vengeance fleet with a single depleted Grand Company is Iron Within-tier, and the way they do it - not because they actually give a damn about Horus or Perturabo, not because they're big jerks and just like being jerks, but because they're Space Marines and they're made to fight and win is just beautiful. There really weren't enough 'standard' engagements between the Traitors and Loyalists, and Spear gives us them in spades: two highly skilled and intelligent forces facing off.

 

Dreadwing does have Farith 'Oh no, he's hot!' Redloss, though...
