I think I'll definitely, pick them up - thanks!

Are the post-Long books any good?

  • City of the Damned by David Guymer

  • The Serpent Queen by Josh Reynolds

  • Kinslayer by David Guymer

  • Slayer by David Guymer


  • Or are some of those the "End Times" books?

    Alph whilst they are adventure books they do run a united narrative through them. At least all the "*****Slayer" style books link one right into the next. So it makes logical sense to read them in their publication order to follow the story along. Reading several of them out of order will really spoil big events, whilst others will introduce things that appear really odd if you're not there to see them unfold the first time within the story.

    The omnibus editions are neat because they combine some of the short stories into them (though some are not always chronologically placed perfectly, but I assume most are placed within publication order).

    The omnibus are also the cheapest way to get into reading the books and save you a massive saving over getting them all individually.

    I've never read Road of Skulls. City of the Damned is the first stinker I referred to, and Kinslayer & Slayer are the End Times duology that constitute the remaining stinkers.

    I actually quite enjoyed Serpent Queen, it's not Shakespeare but it's nice to see a bit of Tomb Kings/Southlands action.

    I started reading either Road of Skulls or a Serpent Queen and just never got around to finishing it. The rest, I haven't even picked up once.

    The first two Omnibuses are enough, in my opinion. Even William King's final addition, Giantslayer, is disposable. If you want to carry on from there...maybe go with the Ulrika books? If you're looking for more Old World adventure, the Brunner omnibus is great, and so are the Black...Company? Nathan Long's omnibus of Black...something.

    I actually found the Ulrika books less fun. I think its because they feel like the character lost a lot of her wild powerful mature nature and became a lot more innocent. The Ulrika of the Ulrika novels never feels like the kind of character who once rode free on the plains; trained with the soldiers; led warparties or even went to battle in no less than one of the greatest sieges of her day. They are still a good read and she comes into her own a bit more as they develop; she just doesn't feel the same - which to be fair she technically isn't the same in those books.

    My Realmslayer book arrived!

    Nice hardback with a light gilt edge to the pages. There's a short intro, then there's the body of the book which is the transcript for the audiobook. Within that there are two sections of pictures which are really well printed and presented - nice middle of the page, glossy vibrant artwork from all the covers of Gotrek and Felix novels. Heck they remind me why I'm annoyed GW still hasn't given us (witch) aelves riding on sea serpents!
    At the end is an interesting bit of the transcript with notations on it from the writers. Including details of bits that were cut or changed such as the intro being shortened by 15 minutes and removing the setup for the Fyreslayers being on the walkway when they meet Gotrek at the very start (honestly perhaps something that should have been there).

    The Serpent Queen is a excellent read - good fun, some amusing characters and lots of vampires.....

    Yeah City of the Damned was a massive disapontment = dull and pointless would be my view and thats as a Mordheim fan.

    Best to wait for a reprint on Blackhearts. I made the mistake of paying "out of print" prices for the last books in the Black Plague and Tyrion series back when the End Times was fresh and it looked like they'd never be reprinted, and now the whole omnibus editions are available for cheaper than the prices I paid per individual book.

    Good Necromunda yarn with some good action and interesting characters including the travelling herbsman/medic in his walking lab/shack. Nice set up for a sequal too. Although has a few elements from the newer lore, nothing jarring for me.

    Could you clarify what you mean by that last remark? Because I don't recall any of the novels I read in the setting before being for children, so my first instinct when people say stuff like "for grown ups" in comparison to prior pulpy novels is "po-faced over-seriousness and/or political sanctimony".

    Haha. Yes I get what you mean. My use of the term grown up was a rather poor and sloppy choice of phrase. It’s not slightly tongue in cheek book like some of the original books were. It looses the rather spaghetti western feel some people feel the old books had. It definitely takes a grittier look at life in the underhive and necromunda generally. But no it’s not a philosophy text book or a political manifesto.
    I have to say I enjoyed the original books but I felt this had a fresher feel and was delighted it took a different approach. I think the nastiness of the poverty that people live in and the cruelty of it all was much more apparent in this book than the others.

    OK fair enough, that doesn't sound so bad. It'd be a shame if they dump the cornball western stuff entirely, it's the fusion of that with the post-apoc and cybergothic elements that made Necromunda such a classic setting IMO, but so long as they don't vanish entirely up their own backside it should still be enjoyable.

    Cozy cockpit of an Imperial Knight

    Terminal Overkill is a decent read, the narrative is choppy and nicely to the point, making the chapters and paragraphs easy to digest. Also gives a nice insight into the Underhive, House Escher, (way too many) spiders and all that other delicious world building. Some terms and descriptions felt out of place, but it beats trying to shoe horn in some made up things to try and describe it instead.

    I will say this though, there's at least one section of the book that was really hammering home a certain rural aspect, the only thing missing was someone playing the banjo throughout it all.

    Right now on Rites of Passage, a direct sequel to a short story from the first Inferno! reboot.

    Lol, "simply capable of interfacing to some degree". He hacks and takes control of an entire complex. The techpriests in the Mechanicus PC game are "capable of interfacing to some degree", at great personal risk; Cawl goes full Assuming Direct Control over a machine race that was ancient when humans were apes and has tech that the Mechanicus often can't even comprehend the underlying principles of let alone control.

    "The language of modern British politics is meant to sound benign. But words do not mean what they seem to mean. 'Reform' actually means 'cut' or 'end'. 'Flexibility' really means 'exploit'. 'Prudence' really means 'don't invest'. And 'efficient'? That means whatever you want it to mean, usually 'cut'.
