Ok so now that the horus heresy is finnaly moving on and getting towards the battle of terra I can't help but wonder which author will write the final battle betwan Horus and The Emporer. Perssonaly I vote for Graham McNeil but what do you guys think ? Whcih author do you think is worthy of writing the final battle of the Horus Heresy ?

I think that Dan Abnett should write the final book. He wrote the first and it was a big hit. He is a great author and would be the perfect author to write the conclusion.

Edit: I voted for someone else because Abnett was not originally up there and it put my vote under Graham McNiel. Could my vote be changed to Abnett?

.... In ten years when we finally get there

No option for matt ward????

I think like the opening it should be a trilogy of books detailing the Siege of Terra, written by Abnett, McNiell and Dembski-Bowden IMHO.

Matt Ward writes the codexes, I don't ever recall him being a black libary author

I agree but who should write about the battle on the vengeful spirit betwean Horus and the Emporer ?

Ummm... flip a coin?!

We can only hope that somehow, C.S goto doesn't get it.

You actually think GW will ever slaughter the cash cow that is the Horus Heresy by completing it oh the naivety

In all honesty I could well see it being a story written over a number of volumes from varying view points. If I had to go for one author it would be ADB who consistently churns out the best of Black Library or after reading Battle of the Fang Chris Wraight.

Ssshhh! Do NOT mention he-who-must-not-be-named. Names have power you know.

My vote goes to Abnett. He really should get the honor of ending the series ( if and when we finally get there ).

I believe this just about sums up my thoughts on the matter.

Abnett or Graham, either would be fine by me. I think they are both quite excellent.

Also impressed by ADB from what I've read so far.

ADB for sure!! Soul Hunter and Blood Reaver are incredible.

ADB

Only old dan could do it justice. his knowledge of the 40k universe is unrivaled

Whichever one will add olanius pius back.

I say Dan Abnett, he is the Library's most successful author for a reason, and that reason is because he writes incredible 40k fiction.

Answer: Not-Ward
