Kurgan the Lurker Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 He doesn't say what exactly but given prior rumors and what he has said on his latest blog post.....looks like Dan Abnett will be taking the Space Wolves side of the Scouring of Prospero during the Heresy: http://theprimaryclone.blogspot.com/ Also, had fun and games up at Black Library HQ yesterday with the BL crowd, and Graham and Jim, as we plotted and brain-stormed what the next serving of Horus would be about. Looks like Graham and I will be dividing one of the big events up between us... and there was a blinding idea too about what Jim might do next. Gosh, it’s going to be exciting. My next Horus, due after Blood Pact, looks like it’s going to be my biggest Horus yet, in terms of shooty-death-kill per square inch... and I can’t believe I’ve volunteered to write about Space W- Opps! Did I say too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyInDeath Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Oh that would make me a happy wolf! Abnett is by far my favorite writer for Black Library, and I cant wait to see what he would do with the SW in that era. Battle for the Abyss was a rather bland encounter with the sons of Russ and I was greatly disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalodon Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Very Cool! I can't wait to see What he does with it! :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marek Grimfang Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I think he will do the wolves justice. Good to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamsight Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I don't think Abbentt gets the wolfy spirit he's to up tight as a writer. But to tell the truth the only person on the planet I would trust to write the wolf side is William King no one does the wolves better than him.

Tyrannicide Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 If I recall correctly, Dan Abnett has never written about the Space Wolves. How could he not capture the Chapter's spirit, if never writing a word about them? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 i might agree there jamsight, but he accounts of mkvenner slaughtering bloodpact troopers is awesome, and i am a total abnett fanboy, so i am waiting eagerly for his account. wolf lord kieran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The God Emperor Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 By the Emperor, this might actually be the only Heresy-era book I'll possess. His Tanith First and Only series was good and I'll be looking forward to it. The 1k Sons going to suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could he not capture the Chapter's spirit, if never writing a word about them? :huh: He did write the Space Wolves comic ''Lone Wolves'' though. Not a whole lot of lines, but still he did write it :). That comic made me appreciate Space Wolves bikers! Makes me remember to post a picture of those guys, as I just finished 5 of them which helped me grab Best Painted Army on a tournament last weekend B)!

Lion in the Stars Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 It's too bad that "Lee Lightner" didn't get the nod for the Heresy novel, but Dan Abnett writes a good hero story. In all honesty, if you said that all the Gaunt's Ghosts were Marines and not Guard, those novels would be much more believable. It's not the end of the world, Kurgan. Letting Ben Counter write the wolf novel would be close to the end-times, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 i thank russ, the all-father, and the old wolf that "lee lightner" didnt get the wolf. he single handidly killed by the Ragnar series for me. wolf lord kieran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The God Emperor Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 He kinda redempt himself with the Wolf's Honour novel. IMO, it is good but no where near Bill King's Ragnar series. Why must they kill off Haegr? He was one of the most loveable character out of the whole series. Lee Lightner killed the series off too, I want to see how Ragnar become a Lord, how Berek was killed and how is Sven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Wolf Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I've heard that there will be another novel covering Ragnar's rise to Wolf Guard, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
