Angel_of_Blood Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 After that small mention of him in Fulgrim going off to guard some underground bunker, I was sure he would end up reappearing again at some point. But that was 35 books ago (holy :cuss, 35!!), and nothing, and think nothing has touched Istvaan III since Legion of One? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sete Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 He will punch Horus in the face and save the Emperor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nazguire Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 He'd have no way of getting off planet. If I recall correctly it was only a rumour he did that also. Most likely dead, and not meant to play any more of a part in the story than what he's already played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopkins Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 a little bit of mystery is great. do we have to have every single little thing explained? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MordentHex Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 supposedly he dies saving the last of the survivors including Saul as they make there get away. But that's old fluff and not from BL up to this point. I'm afraid he is in all likelihood dead with everyone else. BL tidying up that story loop so they can go on and on and about the shattered legions in detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BL tidying up that story loop so they can go on and on and about the shattered legions in detail. It would be good for him to stay dead. There are a lot of resurrected characters by now. Istvaan 3 and Istvaan 5 should have been left behind for good a long time ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augustus Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I'm totally a hypocrite with Saul Tarvitz. I always complain when characters never stay dead. But for him or Rylanor I am willing take some verbal abuse to have them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for him or Rylanor I take some verbal abuse to have them back. In some universe I can agree with that. But still - only one of them - Rylanor or Tarvitz. Choose Both are too much presure ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluntblade Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I think thematically to bring Tarvitz back would just be too cheap. I like how Rylanor factors into... whose was it... the Third Millenial WiP in Age of Darkness, regardless. Apart from anything else, Moturg's "don't be foolish. None survived" line is too badass to be contradicted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgard Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I wonder if someone would find Rylanor... still guarding the bunker thanks to the Dread life support systems and wave-away technomagicbabble, ten thousand years later when someone in the "current" timeline stumbles upon Isstvan system.

It's like with the guys who want to have Sanguinius ressurrected in W40K - all the HH sacrifices would be POINTLESS and will totally ruin any drama.

Too 'Doctor who' to that. The best case he was saved by Shattered Legions at some point at the time and is making war on the fringes right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Dougal Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 So just to be sure, are there any Traitor Legions who haven't had a loyalist member survive past Istvaan. I'm trying to remember one for every Legion at least (Garro, Dantioch, that Word Bearer sniper, the Night Lord Chief Librarian, Revuel Arvida, Loken. The ones I can't think of are World Eaters, Emperor's Children, and Alpha Legion. Anybody got an answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntblade Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 A World Eaters loyalist... forget the name but he's a dead ringer for Shurrup Buttwad ahem, Gerard Butler. Becomes one of Garro's merry men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carach Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 yup we got one of the Knights Errant who used to be a World Eater there was also a loyalist Emperor's Children in the Terran system that Garro had to investigate during one of the audiobooks - don't really wanna spoil it for anyone who may not yet have listened to it (Sword of Truth, i think it was) Alpha Legion we don't know, because we don't know what the deal is with them as a whole, do we? On the subject of the Word Bearer sniper from the Unremembered Empire arc - was his story wrapped up after UE in one of those annoying limited edition novellas or ? I liked that dude and wanted to read more about him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaurieJGoulding Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Rylanor is dead, and so is Saul Tarvitz. I put that at the very top of my extensive handover notes for the Horus Heresy, at the top of the first page, in bold and underlined red text.

gogmagog Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 This makes me sad! So why leave it open? A bit sloppy in my opinion! I think it's time to wrap up the heresy. I used to get all the books from day one and no I can't be bothered to be honest, it's lost it's momentum big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight of the Raven Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I like that some deaths are permanent. And I say that as someone who has a resurrection planned in each of the two epics I have never been able to complete. So why leave it open? One of the strengths of the Warhammer franchise is leaving possibilities open so that fans can choose what they like better, even when there's an official canon answer and even though writing so much about the Horus Heresy dissipated much of the mystery. I could be wrong of course. Wouldn't be the first time. After all, I think the Imperium are the good guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to get all the books from day one and no I can't be bothered to be honest, it's lost it's momentum big time. You mean back when there was no editor assigned to the Horus Heresy as a series and there was no plan whatsoever? No idea. That was about 5 years before my time. No worries that you've jumped ship, though. I mean, I think my jumping ship was a little more impressive, like... but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
