Josh Reynolds wrote some of the coolest Beastmen characters in his novels.

Of course, promptly ignored by GW who seem to be both aimless when it comes to AoS and determined to follow the same bad path that led to Fantasy's decline. Its a talent, that much is for sure.

Yeah he was one of the very few good ones, I liked almost all of his 40k / Heresy stories and some of his AoS stuff too, which of his books are Beastmen?

Josh was a huge blow to the AoS end of Black Library - the guy just got the setting so well and he wrote like a machine! Since he's gone I've noticed the novels have weighted heavily back toward 40K again. Heck at the last two Black Library celebrations almost everything is 40K. I think the last one had a few AoS things and the one before almost nothing.

Granted a lot of 40K is fawning over the Horus Heresy series and its associated spin-offs and such; but still BL seems to lack a core of several good authors for fantasy right now. I think all their good big names are all in 40K.

In what way do you consider it aimless? I'm curious.

I believe it was Black Pyramid which had a Beastmen perspective character(s*) who was a side protagonist. Ghost Eater I think was the name. He had a peculiar ability (probably a product of being from Shyish) where he could kill a person and absorb their soul, with all of its knowledge/experience. If memory serves, (I read it at release a few years back) he could even call upon the souls he absorbed for advice and talk with them, hence the "character(s*)" above. This led him to be a much more thoughtful/dangerous Beastman and he eventually rose to take over the Beastherd that was attached to the chaos warlord's warband. Again, if memory serves, he got tired of his herd being used as fodder and quit the field, leaving the chaos army severely depleted.

Was hoping to get more from that character, but alas, things didn't work out between JR and BL.

edit: That whole novel had alot of great characters. Even managed to make Mannfred somewhat of a sympathetic character through that series. And of course, I always wanted to see what happened to Tarsus Bullheart after his release from Nagash.

edit 2 : CL Werner's Beastgrave has Beastmen as perspective characters as well, for those interested.

Yes it was Black Pyramid. I would say though that almost every JR novel had characters that were so cool I have continually wondered why GW has pursued none of them.

I'm still upset that Josh Reynolds stopped writing for AoS. Not with him of course, but it just sucks to lose such a great writer. The way he wrote Nagash, Mannfred, and Arkhan really gave them additional depth and nuance instead of being 100% bad guys 100% of the time. Like... we have Chaos for that.

Seconded - although there are a few that also do some good work.

I see GW still doesn't understand that a 4+ ward save is equivalent to double the wounds characteristic--5 Hzerkers are going to statistically take 20 damage to kill. Vulkites are gunna need to be throwing out some serious offense to make up for being the same durability at significantly greater cost.

Bonereaper players will likely be happy with wd update. While grand strategy is meh as usual(you do this, you also do keep battleline alive by definition but reverse isn't true). 2 heroic actions of which unstoppable spell ought to be怀good, 2 more commands for rp points and maybe best set of battle tactics factions got. Telling that worst is cavalry unit making charge and ending turn near enemy. Double 1 for charge makes this bit risky turning it to "just" solid option.

Kind of in the same boat this time for once since the DoK side is only regular kits and the new leader. Although technically I do need SoS, I just don't need any more Doomfires nor Khinerai. That said ebay might well get a good few split kits for the new leader and its great to get some more leaders that aren't bound to the Cauldron kit.
