Quote ...so in case you don't know, I'd better tell you that he is carrying out his notion of concealing ourselves by not concealing ourselves to the most extraordinary lengths just now. Originally, of course, we met in a cell underground, just as your branch does. Then Sunday made us take a private room at an ordinary restaurant. He said that if you didn't seem to be hiding nobody hunted you out. Well, he is the only man on earth, I know; but sometimes I really think that his huge brain is going a little mad in its old age. For now we flaunt ourselves before the public. We have our breakfast on a balcony — on a balcony, if you please — overlooking Leicester Square." "And what do the people say?" asked Syme. "It's quite simple what they say," answered his guide. "They say we are a lot of jolly gentlemen who pretend they are anarchists." The Man Who Was Thursday.

I cannot possibly communicate how negatively I view how GW has treated BL and how BL has treated us. From the heights it had reached to now? Its really frustrating, and has killed off what little interest I had left.

It never ceases to amaze me how many companies treat existing loyal customers with (pretty much) contempt, while simultaneously always chasing after new customers. It’s so much easier (and cheaper) to retain a loyal customer than win a new customer!

DarkChaplain Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Especially since loyal customers end up doing word of mouth marketing for the company anyway, winning new customers through positive vibes and peer pressure :') DukeLeto69 and darkhorse0607 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387216-upcoming-bl-stuff-2026/page/30/#findComment-6182475 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adeptekon Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 While I understand the sentiment about a loyal fan base I also don't want 40k held hostage to it either. I think it's more about GW squeezing blood from a turnip and milking every last drop of their IP for years on end, meanwhile catering to the interests of top shareholders, bumping executive salaries and hiring kids to do the creative work for less than the rate they could get fipping burgers.

Lord Marshal Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 John Badab gets another novel. Quote Though he’s been pushed back from the surface of Chogoris, Blackheart is still eager to chalk up a victory over the White Scars and claim more plunder. However, his plans all change when the dark shadow of the Great Devourer falls across his domain and Huron must weave his tenuous web of allies into a protective net in Claws of the Maelstrom by Marc Collins. Naturally, it won’t be as easy as calling in a few favours. Blackheart’s control is maintained through brutal intimidation, cutthroat bargains, and mutual spite – fragile bonds that will break the moment his iron grip wavers. With the Dark Gods he spurns watching his every move, the Master of the Maelstrom will have to find out where his loyalties truly lie, or risk Tyranids consuming everything he’s built since the fall of Badab.

DarkChaplain Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 (edited) How many more times will they change the author for a Huron Blackheart novel? We went from Sarah Cawkwell to Mark Clapham to Mike Brooks to now Marc Collins. Not that I mind who writes him now, but come on, Huron Blackheart has had it rough with author retention.... I expect the NEW NOVEL thread on the News subforum to pop up any minute and result in a half-dozen discussion posts we'll never see as actual activity on this board when the book actually releases, by the way.

Lord Marshal Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 (edited) A new Helbrecht novel. Guess Wednesdays are designated for announcing BL stuff now. Quote High Marshal Helbrecht is back in a new Black Library novel, and this time, the legendary Black Templars Chapter Master is forced to form an unthinkable alliance in order to defeat the unholy terrors of the Ruinous Powers. In Helbrecht: Sin of Hope, the High Marshal must rally his Chapter and the Elysian troops of the Astra Militarum against their foes. When fate – or providence – grants the High Marshal a distasteful ally in the Leagues of Votann, he must ask himself what he is willing to forsake in the pursuit of triumph.
