Izlude Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Ah sweet! Wish I was there to get this and the FW Dorn model. Hope Battle Bunnies or someone does a play by play action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runefyre Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Upon closer inspection, they really screwed up Russ's face.... But I'm quite interested to see how the novel turns out, and I'm genuinely hopeful that Russ will get a good showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mactire Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Seriously, when was the last time the Wolves got any good showing? Far from being the "executioner" legion we've become that guy who keeps getting a beating, but is too stupid or stubborn to realise it, and keeps coming back for more.

Mellow Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 They do get beaten a lot. Then they drink lots of ale and shout “yeaaahhh” thinking they won or they taught someone a lesson while being beaten. They are basically rubbish and don’t really achieve anything. Plus they have pretty much lost their own home star system. Ooh, look who's in the book!! https://twitter.com/blacklibrarium/status/959497145316454400 Belisarius Cawl!!!! hurray!

Izlude Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Sweet getting Heresy-era Cawl, I enjoyed his character in Guy’s Dark Imperium. Maybe he will have a pissing match with Kelbor-Hal which would be fun to read.IMO Haley is up there for me along with the likes of French, ADB, etc. He is very even handed with his writing so it never reads like a one sided affair. I honestly thought he saved the beast arises with the last book and did great damage control for the issues with that series. Pharos was also fantastic as a Secundus sequel (that dantioch scene almost brought tears to my cold heart) and I absolutely loved Dark Imperium.We all know Russ can’t win this but I think it will be again balanced and will shed light on stuff which is more of my interest rather than “Horus dodges Russ’s decaptitating strike and blah blah.” I have faith this will be good if not great. The HH books have been dry this first quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mellow Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Surely Horus should be much bigger than Russ due to his armour? Plus I do think that the fight will be open at the start but then Horus will dominate him quite quickly resulting in multiple torso stabbings with giant claws. Which is the only injury I can imagine that will put Russ down for long enough. Barring super evil chaos god electric force lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roomsky Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Ooh, look who's in the book!! https://twitter.com/blacklibrarium/status/959497145316454400 Y`all can be excited about Cawl, sure, but I'm ready for more Sota-Nul. Guy's a little all over the place for me. I liked Dark Imperium and The Beheading, but Dante and most of Perturabo didn't really do it for me. Here's hoping this will join the former in terms of quality. And again, I maintain that a legion doesn't need to win to have a good showing.

bluntblade Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Horus should be much bigger. Based on PoH he and his armour have been jacked up further by Chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH79 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Ooh, look who's in the book!! https://twitter.com/blacklibrarium/status/959497145316454400 Believe it or not seeing Lokens Name got a gasp from me, my fan boy levels are easily over 9000!!! What the bloody hell is that meant to be? A woman opera singer? lol Admittedly it does look a little too 80's hair metal... but in illustrative terms Russ's character composition is better than that on the cover which does look a little clunky... Horus should be much bigger. Based on PoH he and his armour have been jacked up further by Chaos. Point well made(!), and by that same reckoning we should see Abaddon looking down on Russ at some point too... right? Yeah... maybe not! Apologies, personal bug bear to how Abaddon is described to be Horus's equal in ToH (that exquisite novels only flaw!)... he's really not.

Mellow Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Abaddon wouldn’t look down at a Primarch. I believe there have been a few references to their size and a Terminator suit puts them at just a fraction smaller than a Primarch. But still Horus should be huge and pumped with Chaotic power. Hence is boss ugly face ... why is he bald though? Has he always been bald? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
