Same here. Will have a review up by the weekend, I'd reckon.

Oh yeah.

I finished "Soul Hunter" the other day.

It actually is BETTER than the Eisenhorn trilogy. It's BETTER than "Legion".

And I don't even like the damn Night Lords!

It is in my reading queue, and you may have just bumped it up a few slots.

I'll be angry if you're just blowing smoke though!

If I'm just blowing smoke, then we have very different reading tastes and you should be executed for having bad ones.

That's one way of looking at it!

(Notes down "+1 censure point for Kanluwen" in the Book...)

Hes not blowing smoke.. Soul Hunter was the best BL book I've ever read. And the author ADB even posts on forums.. He posted on the soul hunter thread on BnC. I have been made into a mindless fanboy at this point.

Is Soul Hunter better than Cadian Blood do we think?

I really hate to say it because I love Cadian Blood and plan on reenacting it once I finish my massive table and Cadian Guard...

But yes. Soul Hunter takes Cadian Blood out behind the shed and blows its head off with the 12 gauge, while crying "I'm sorry, boy!"

You do not want me as an enemy, Alpharius. For I am quite a rabble rouser and have pants on.

With pants come VICTORY!

You got it wrong. With pants comes dignity. And possibly avoids ugly looks from the ladies. Because of, you know....

You get ugly looks from the ladies?

Man. I pity you. All I ever get are shocked glances.

Mostly because y'know, I'm not wearing pants.

I *think* Prospero burns is going to be more or less the same 'story', just from a different point of view?

If I'm right, go ahead and read it!

If I'm not...

Well, I can't wait and I'm reading it right now!

Ah, what the hell. Im convinced. Its on the top of my pile now

Just finished Nagash the Unbroken. It was okay, but the things mentioned didn't really happen, which is a pity.

Elaborate?

Not sure if they are spoilers, but just in case, because I don't want to make grown men cry:



It's a good read, a real page turner, I've just got a big sadface because the things I thought would happen don't happen until novel three, which will be brimming with battles most likely, not just against the Skaven, but fingers crossed, also against Sigmar.

I'm thinking that the big battle against Sigmar might be in the Sigmar series?

It certainly seems as if Book 3 over there is setting that up...

So it would seem come to think of it. I guess the third Nagash novel will tackle his first demise and resurrection, resulting in the slaying of many a rat thing.

I also regret not having started on Soul Hunter earlier. It's really, really good. Move over McNeill, we have a new marine writer in town and he can write them good. He really has a way of making the Night Lords cool and not like those other chaos dopes.

"I HEARD BOLTERS."

Personally, I thought the best part of Soul Hunter was the interplay between the mutated/"Gifted" Night Lords...and those who thought they were traitors to the Legion.

Soul Hunter is indeed full of win and will make you 15% more attractive if you read it.


I have similar feelings about the 2nd Nagash book as to above.



Now reading Flesh and Iron by Mr. Zou... very Vietnam movie thusly far... but.. that kind of works. We'll see.

Got "Waiting Death", the new audio book as well. It's alright, weakest of those releases so far, mainly I think as it doesn't really go anywhere or tie into anything as such and this renders it all a bit..... pointless ? Arbitrary ? Something like this anyway. Well produced and good to see..alright hear the guard get some loving as well.

22 eh ? That's some going.

Oh yes... behold....

Sigmar, the first Emperor, is a god amongst men, a peerless leader and an unbreakable warrior. Having defeated the Chaos invasion of Middenheim, the Empire knows a measure of peace. But in the vast deserts of Nehekhara, another empire is rising. Nagash, the most feared of necromancers, is determined to claim dominance over the Old World, crushing all before him with an unstoppable and nightmarish army. Legions of unnatural creatures swarm the Empire. Sigmar must defend the lands of the living from the hordes of the dead and prevent Nagash's terrible vision of power coming true.

There's a few other books on the site now too.

OK, that cover is awesome!

The Time of Legends series has been a good, fun read so far.

And so has the Horus Heresy series too, for the most part.

Wonder if there's a connection there somewhere...

When did the new BL site go live?

Over the weekend, real quietlike.

It feels good that they are giving their background such a great treatment and serious treatment.

Not to derail the BL conversation, but did I remember hearing a rumor awhile back that Forgeworld was going to be getting a new webpage, too?

That they said yes. Not any time soon though.

I think they're getting all the finnicky bits done 'offline' so to speak. They seem to have learned from Black Library's shenanigans of no website=baaad.

FW is more reliant on their site than BL though in the long run. I do hope that they don't add in fixed Dollar and Euro prices like in their catalogues, as 34 quid is not 45 euros.

Anyway, back on topic, I just ordered Space Marine. Should I worry now?

.....clever Zoat !


anyway... remember the link/interview I posted a page or so back, specifically the whole

Our April release is an anthology of Blood Angels comic strips and short stories, and contains one all-new story along with the prose version of Heart of Rage that was previously only available as an audio drama.

Said tome also contains a shoprt story called "Crimson Night" as well and comes in this cover

Taking the advice of many in this thread I have picked up Soul Hunter...I have to say that it (at this point) is an absolutely great book and perhaps my favorite from BL so far. The author is truly exceptional. I was never a fan of the Night Lords, until now! I see great things for this writer.

After reading the first book in the Pauldron trilogy I can't help but notice that each and every Chapter seems to be rife with dissent and internal struggle.

Is this all because Marines skip puberty and become super-humans or what?
