Mellow Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 If that's his girlfriend in front then that must be his crazy ex jumping for him from behind. Anyway. I'm going to buy this to support RobMac. His Carcharadons novel was excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.crusader Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Personally, I think the artwork is terrible :( (compare to Shroud of Night, for example). But the book itself looks very promising to me. Definitely deserves a place on my bookshelf, no doubts about it. DukeLeto69 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeritorA Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 1) That cover is much better than a lot of covers released from BL lately. 2) Robbie - is that a Noctis Aeterna period? Or before/after it? Why the 4th Company? 3) Sadly was expecting Red Corsairs as b1soul, not the tyranids. Let's believe that Robbie could do justice by the both sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draakur Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Will the relatively faceless/blank identity of the Nids mean more room and time for characterisation and deepening of Scars culture and lore? HeritorA 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1soul Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 Hopefully... Tyranids can be rather bland enemies, compared to a well fleshed out CSM legion or warband, e.g. Black Legion, Night Lords (any traitors touched by ADB really) ... I have high hopes for this though!

HeritorA Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Will the relatively faceless/blank identity of the Nids mean more room and time for characterisation and deepening of Scars culture and lore?

RobMac Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 2) Robbie - is that a Noctis Aeterna period? Or before/after it? Why the 4th Company? Yes, it's more or less set right after the opening of the Great Rift and the confusion that follows. As for the 4th, I guess I just like tulwars Will the relatively faceless/blank identity of the Nids mean more room and time for characterisation and deepening of Scars culture and lore? Chris Wraight's work was my primary benchmark for this project, and we all know what a brilliant job he did with the Scars and their lore. Hopefully I live up to that at least in part, I'm definitely interested in what makes them such a unique Chapter. I mean, at the very least I got a scene involving a Space Marine doing calligraphy in there!

Can't wait to read about the WS from your perspective After the splendid Sharks you have our confidence (I did even forgive you the 'Wulfen' ) The point that the story is set right at the start of the Noctis Aeterna is beautiful - cause that period is really has almost zero lore and being quite a young one have not been properly fleshed out.

Mellow Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 But if RobMac outshines Wraight is it truly a case of: "When I left you, I was the learner. Now I am the master". Nice to see another Novel set in the "new" lore though. Very pleasing. Kelborn, HeritorA and Wulfburk 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely deserves a place on my bookshelf, no doubts about it. Have to agree, the art is not good. I personally do not like the direction most of the BL cover art is going in. It is too cartoony or comic book in style. It gives the impression that the content is aimed squarely at (young) teenage boys. Compare the latest batch of covers with some of the beautiful work we used to get from Jon Sullivan or Clint Langley. While we should not judge a book by the cover, actually many people do and will. It is about correctly positioning the product. IMHO this cover does not shout out "this will be a quality read". Shame as nothing to do with Robbie Mac who I am sure has done a fine job.

Too cartoonish and comicvibe. I wouldn't have said better :) From the 'good' upcoming covers so far, there are only 2 - 'Blackshield' and the new 'Warmaster' cover.

RobMac Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Yes it's set right after Gathering Storm, when the Great Rift is fresh and Guilliman and the Primaris are still just rumours to much of the Imperium.

b1soul Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 Thanks for the confirmation Robbie. Very interesting choice of time...so before the Indomitus Crusade has kicked off I assume. Looking forward to this. RobMac 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Antipodes Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 More Stories set in this period are needed as to date we currently have Gathering Storm then the beginnings of the Indomitus Crusade (8th edition rule book) to the Crusade's end (Dark Imperium novel) approx 100 years later. There is a very large canvas there that needs filling in, not to mention the tidying and/or updating of the various Warzones like Armageddon, Fenris, etc. Kelborn 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
