I still wonder if Iagon might have a role to play in this, that we don't expect. He's still be his.... usual charming.. self, but i wonder if he might, perhaps unwittingly, be the person who solves -- perhaps through murder of another character -- part of the problem.
And the Tsu'gan will kill Iagon, and become a great/better hero having learnt "stuff" from his experiences. Or something like that anyway.

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

That could well be the outcome. Part of me hopes so.
Spoiler:
I reckon Da'kir is more likely to end up as the hero though. Underdog champions his way to the top and all that. I just sincerely hope that Tsu'gan gets his shining moment.
Finish up with Nocturne please, Mr. Kyme. Chop, chop.

..hmm.. he's an editor 'member. That means he's got that deep rooted sadistic streak.
That said... yeah, could well be. It would certainly fit with the whole forging motif he's worked well.

That Nick willl go with the good ending. Which with this being 40k might result in two or more of the title characters ending up dead. One as an act of redemption and the other because sacrifice is sometimes needed for the rainbows and smiles. I do hope that Iagon gets his dues and his character gets a wee bit more development. I found him a petty character in the first novel and was really curious as to how they didn't stamp that out of him when they changed him into an Astartes.
That said, I wish there was more of Vulkan He'Stan to go around. It was great to read about a Chapter hero being a bad ass and being completely in his element.

..from a hotly tipped, occassionally hungover, up and coming young* author.
Point Clarifications
* If it was 'hotly tipped' in the sense that people threw lots of money at me, I'd buy into that wholesale. But thank you anyway.
Is it bad that my mind went in a totally bad direction from that comment? Curse you, Pyro!
* Occasionally hungover. Yes. This is... sadly... true. It's the whole fragile female thing. And the fact that I put away the best part of a vineyard on Tuesday night.
* Up and coming young author. I AM young. You know, compared to say, a 900 year old Timelord.
Yes. Blue and silver is a quite lovely combination, though I say so myself. Very cold. Harsh, almost...
Cold and harsh works well for Librarians, I think!
And Gildar Rift features Huron, huh? Interesting.

Blood of Aenarion preview
Fans of William King were excited to hear about the upcoming new trilogy featuring High Elf princes Tyrion and Teclis (and if you missed it, you can see the BLTV interview with the author himself). We now have Raymond Swanland's art for the cover of Blood of Aenarion, featuring Tyrion himself! This is the first time we have featured this famous High Elf prince on the cover of a novel and we think Raymond has done a brilliant job.
Raymond lives in sun-drenched Honolulu, so we're not sure how he ends up producing artwork that is so dark and visceral!
Check back next week to see what fantastic new pieces of art we reveal every day here on our blog.

i have to say the quality of the black library cover art is quite good overall. how come they don't use some of these artists for the codex covers instead of the scrubs that design like the shrunken head blood angels?

Let's see what goodness Bl bring us this week then :
Thanquol's Doom
Winona Nelson, who clearly hates Dwarfs, painted this striking cover for the forthcoming Thanquol's Doom.
Bet that Dwarf wishes he'd worn his helmet.
Nothing says 'fear me!' like standing on your enemy's cannon, pointing a massive sword at him and opening your glowing maw.
Winona has also painted the cover for Bloodborn and the upcoming Bloodforged, which is currently an office favourite. More please Miss Nelson !

Huron is coming through the Gildar Rift
Jon Sullivan has out done himself. This fantastic piece of art will appear on the cover for upcoming novel The Gildar Rift. We think this might just be the best cover for a Space Marine Battles novel yet. What do you think?
Huron Blackheart, possibly the scariest individual in the 41st Millenium.
Don't forget that all of the previously released Space Marine Battles novels are now available as eBooks.
..man, that's almost enough to make you actually want to play/use Huron in the game.
..someone lucked out on their cover eh ?

The Red Duke is one of the most vicious vampires to stalk the Old World, and we think Cheoljoo Lee’s art for the forthcoming Warhammer Heroes novel reflects that perfectly. Cheoljoo has produced a blood-chilling portrait that, like his covers for the Salamanders series, is dark, moody and dripping with menace. We particularly like the perspective, making you feel like the vampire’s next victim...we won’t sleep for a week now.

I got your back while you're recovering/busy, no worries Red
Black Library wrote:The Keeler Image
Eisenhorn's back and so is Clint Langley with another great image of everyone's favourite inquisitor (aside from the one in the floating chair, obviously). This striking depiction of a young Gregor Eisenhorn will appear on the cover of the forthcoming audio drama "The Keeler Image".
"The Keeler Image" will be the Black Library's first ever double-disc audio drama and ties in nicely to the existing "Eisenhorn Omnibus".
One word.
AWESOME "The Keeler Image"? Our first real tie-in between 'The Horus Heresy' and the current generation?
