After checking my Warhammer app, I noticed the new one-month Deathwatch book bundle... and I also noticed GW put CS Goto's Warrior Coven into the mix. Is the Bundle even worth buying at that point?

Not if you have any respect for the printed word

Dawn of War: Terminators disembark from a Razorback.

You'd only fit two Termies in there, and even then they're too heavy.

don't forget terminators doing back flips and the RAZORRAIDER that changes form every few sentences.

Do it i surprisingly enjoyed warrior coven

He's written a couple of ok short stories, Trial of the Mantis Warriors being one. I would get it if you are interested in finding out about the Deathwatch. It might not be accurate, but you might find it entertaining.

Warrior Coven wasn't the worst thing he ever wrote.

I think the most egregious sin was the assault marine flying around and killing a harridan bio-titan with a chainsword.

Nah, the worst one was Eldar abandoning their "inferior" tanks in favor of looting Leman Russes.

Lelith Hesperax being the leader of planet named Hesperax in the Eye of Terror, servant of Slaanesh and sorceress (I guess he confused wyches with actual witches) takes the cake for me. She also has the luxury of dying by planet explosion.

Please tell me that you're kidding.


Pretty please?

I guess a Russ isn't as vulnerable to the "Space Marine Jump Pack Anti-Tank Missile, Model One Mark One" as a Wave Serpent.


From Dawn of War: Ascension:

Neither of those happened in Warrior Coven. I was specifically referring to that single book. :p

Goto wrote Eldar Prophesy, for crying out loud. Nothing else he ever spewed from his keyboard could ever be worse than that.

What ELSE is in the bundle.

There is the Graphic Novel Deathwatch, the Novel of the same name, and the short story Xenos Hunters.

The epic Deathwatch novel by Steve Parker, but it still includes CS Goto...

Xenos Hunters is actually a collection of short stories, not just one.

Deathwatch by Steve Parker was actually a pretty enjoyable read with a good sense of the different chapters involved and how they chafe with each other. It desperately needs a sequel.

Mission: Purge is pretty generic but also has some fun banter (and confirms the Rainbow Warriors still exist and are an Ultra marines successor.)

Those three add up to just about the price of the bundle, and everything besides (including Got) is basically gravy.

Do you know if the Mission: Purge book is available by itself? I'd rather dodge Goto as much as possible.

It is, it's right there on the site. (And at $16 Canadian I don't think it's worth the money.)

There's like four other items in the bundle that aren't by Goto as well.

I have read the Deathwatch novel and the short stories, but I really am only looking at Mission: Purge.

Have you ever watched a crappy b-movie or read crappy fanfiction and had fun just laughing at how bad it is? If so, you might very well enjoy C.S. Goto.

C.S. Goto? Never read any of his stories, but my friends all refer to him by referencing something about Carnifexes with Lascannons on their backs.

And Librarians getting overpowered by loan Hormagaunts.

I meant "lone," but wrote loan. I guess crushing debt can ID a Librarian.

Considering that is how I just spent my afternoon, I should check his stuff out.
