Commander Dawnstar Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Twiceblade is the former Sha'kan'thas, an individual who acted as a tutor to Farsight and had a ... less than wonderful relationship with the future Commander. I don't think it's explicitly explained anywhere, but I think his name is supposed to convey something in the vein of "One who has proved themselves worthy a second time" as it's mentioned how Farsight gave him a chance to redeem himself for past misdeeds and that Sha'kan'thas' efforts at atonement ultimately saw him earn his place among those worthies put in stasis to serve the Empire at a later time.

Skaorn Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Fair enough, though it seems more like it would imply going through two bonding rituals instead or being bonded to two different squads at once. I'd think something along the lines of Rekindled would be a better indicator of someone who got demoted then earned earned their way back up.

Panzer Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 Kelly talking a bit about the novel: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/06/20/phil-kelly-secrets-revealed/ Q: If you had free rein to write any Warhammer 40,000 story, what would it be?Phil: Hmm. I would say the rise of the samurai-style mecha-warriors known as the Eight, their origins, and their journey through the war-torn centuries to make the t’au superhero team of the current day. I’m working on that though… Please ... please don't let him do that, GW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly might be a chaos god. ---------------- what I expect. the 8 will probably kill a entire chapter of marines. just them. and the writing to be, perfect this and perfect that. oh and more crisis melee weapons, they'll probably use the space marines weapons. since thats what kelly wants the tau to be, Xeno spacemarines +1, nuh uhh chaos cant effect me.

I bet one of the 8 will be hinted to be possessed by a daemon or whatever. Kelly loves "exploring the dark side" of them WAY too much. :yuck: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A deamon will attempt to posses one of the 8, but surprise! the tau instead dominate the deamon and possess it, gaining its power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skaorn Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 At this point I wouldn't be surprised if all 8 combine to fight a titan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
