The Eye of Terror

At long last, the Bolter and Chainsword is proud to announce the release of the second issue of the Legio Imprint, the B&C's favorite electronic magazine. The Legio Imprint aims to showcase the best of the articles and features to be found on the Bolter and Chainsword, as well as including original content created especially for the publication. This issue has been a long time in coming - a lot of people put a lot of effort into this, and it's been my privilege to be a part of all that work and all that talent.

This second issue of the Legio Imprint series focuses on the Eye of Terror, the real axis of the galaxy. Its history and geography are explored. The Space Marines of the Astartes Praeses and renegade Chaos Space Marines are discussed. Mutations are converted. New rules for the Iron Hands, Exorcists and Chaos Space Marine Legions are presented. Miniatures are painted. New chapters are created. Battles are reported. And there's a campaign. At over a hundred pages, with illustrations from a variety of talented artists, miniatures from even more, and a number of authors, there should be something for everyone. --Octavulg

Editorial FAQ:
So the Legio Imprint isn't just about the Dornian Heresy?
It is not.

Octavulg, what took so long?
It's the Eye of Terror issue. The malign influence of the Warp is to be expected.

Where can I download that sexy Lions of Alba chapter symbol?
Why, right here! The charming and talented Dracul made a decal sheet.

So what's next for the Legio Imprint?
It's a secret. But you'll like it. Though, of course, volunteering to help out is a good way to find out.

I didn't know about the first one (I'll have to look for the link).

I'm not sure what you have in mind for the next one, but I'd be glad to help if I'm able to to

[forgotten soul]

nice, love it guys!

looking forward to the next one already c:

[Ferrus Manus]

Really top work guys. I'm gutted I didn't have time to help out more, but I will endeavour to do so for future issues.

[JamesI]

Loved the interview with ADB.

Looking forward to having time to read the rest.

[Chapter Master Ignis Domus]

Oo. La. La. Give me more. Maybe 3,000 or so?

I'm not sure what you have in mind for the next one, but I'd be glad to help if I'm able to to

Ditto for me.


I have lost all my respect for A D-B because of the Squat quip, though.

[Vesper]

Great, just great. Thank you guys, amazing job.

[Olisredan]

Nice. Liking the IA's in there. If you're ever looking for any material for another issue, well, there's, ahem, a certain project I'm working on with a few other members. It's not done, not by a fair ways, but it's there.

[emperors immortals]

Wow, very professional and top quality - makes me proud to be a member on BnC and a little ashamed to have not contributed!!

There is an ongoing effort in the LA ive heard of Oilsredan, i hear a rumour theres something pretty good coming soon for part IV.......



p.s; i read it in one sitting starting 20 mins after posting, my wife will eventually forgive me for gasping, laughing and punching the air yelling "Death to the Traitors" once she sees the King Lear references

I definitely agree with him about Genestealer Cults

[Battle-Brother Ludovic]

Excellent work I especially like the artwork.

[Brother-Chaplain Nemiel]

Well in the interview with A-D-B, it is mentioned he is DaemonPrinceDargor user here on B&C?

If yes, A-D-B grows even more in my respect! Aweseome stuff ive seen here from DPD....basically the reason i regged!

[Mr.Malevolent]

Amazing job you guys!
Really got me thinking about trying out the Heralds of Light color scheme.....
Cannot wait for the next issue.

[Octavulg]

Well in the interview with A-D-B, it is mentioned he is DaemonPrinceDargor user here on B&C?

A D-B is A D-B here on the B&C. DaemonPrinceDargor painted the miniature of him.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I'm glad you're enjoying it. Except you, Ignis. Stop having fun right now.

[darth_giles]

I think you got the release order of the second 3rd Edition Chaos Codex and the Codex: Eye of Terror switched. I remember playing World Eaters using the Legion rules from that codex during the Eye of Terror campaign.

Stopping. Stopping immediately. No fun here. Not at all. Smiling and giggling is a sign of intense pain and lack of joy.

[Inquisitor Kravin]

@darth_giles - You do realise that Lord Editor Octavulg is probably going to banish me to an extra-dimensional oubliette or sell me to Dark Eldar slavers now you've made him aware of my failings!

Thank you for pointing that out. As Octavulg mentioned in the Editor's FAQs the malign influence of the Warp distorted the publication schedule; I actually wrote that somewhat lengthy article in February/March 2011 so I can't recall the details (just sitting on the floor of the spare room surrounded by two decades worth of codexes!). I've just double checked and Codex Chaos 3.2 was 2002 and EoT was 2003. You have just earned yourself a job as a proof-reader/fact checker on the next issue.

Until you've done it you can't believe the weight on your shoulders when it comes to a research article like that. I think I actually remarked to Octavulg at one point that I could have written ten times as much original material in the time it took to produce that article. At one point I was asked to come up with notable campaigns that illustrated the character of the Heralds of Light and came up with campaigns listed in the article plus several more that didn't make it into the finished article in one short sitting. With the article on GW/Forgeworld published material I knew that the collective membership of the B&C carry around in their heads more knowledge than any one person could ever commit to paper.

Hopefully there won't be a deluge of such corrections but if there are then on my heads be it (I grew an extra one whilst researching Daemon Worlds).

To everyone else. Thank you for your kind comments.

[Journeyman]

Impressive piece of work all.
Well done. It never ceases to amaze me the quality that comes from B&C participants.

[Sigismund Himself]

Congratulations to Octavulg and Kravin for getting this out, it had already claimed my sanity attempting it! A spectacular piece of work all round

[Greyall]

Came out great. I was an honour to be part of the Imprint =) Great job, y'all

[Inquisitor Kravin]

@SigismundHimself - Don't forget Brother Tyler, Madscuzzy and the rest!

@Greyall - You're very welcome. Your artwork never fails to impress and without the illustrations the imprint wouldn't have half the impact it does.

[Octavulg]

Kravin
I vaguely recall there being two print runs of the second CSM codex, and I think it came out after the EoT one. That may be the source of the initial confusion.

That, or it was the Warp. I think it was the Warp.

Also, those campaigns were sweet. Including the ones we didn't use, mind you.

Greyall

Your illustrations were awesome, and you should feel awesome.

Sig
Ignore Kravin, Sigismund. Give us all the credit. The rich, tasty credit.

[Firenze]

Its been so long since I was here, I have been lurking like the son of Corax I am.

And by Russ's Iron B******s... This is badass... Im loving this alot! Im also surprised to see some of my seriously old artwork in there... like.. seriously old...

[Runs away to pore over this new issue like some manic goblin]

I would also like to say, the image I did of the purple Space marines that is tagged as 'Night Lords' aren't actually of that Legion, but of the Warriors of Mayhem.

They must have got lost in the Warp and come out as Night Lords!

[Octavulg]

Curse those Warp influences! CURSE THEM!!!!!
