Chapter Master Valrak Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Boom! 10K followers Thank you all so much. As a reward here is a totally hot-off-the-press, unedited, unapproved first draft titbit. https://twitter.com/GavThorpeCreate/status/1106256184598622208 Edit: Image added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helterskelter Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Two fights that he doesn't "win", it would be nice if these were the 2 most beautiful set pieces in the entire heresy but alas, I'd just like sigis to go full templar and murderfest his way through traitors and see off a named officers that clearly aren't in 40k. Or stab Skraivok in the face. I'll take that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morovir Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Unfortunately... Skraivok has ascended to daemonhood by the 41st millennium, and thus is unlikely to have been killed by Sigismund at the Siege. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biscuittzz Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Hopefully Sigismund butchers Khârn like Gav butchered the Raven Guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allart01 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Well, when Sigismund finished with Khârn he was left for dead. So he will actually die and get resurrected later by Khorne, or he will be put in the comatose state we find him in when Eater of Worlds begins. There are a million reasons why, in the confusion of the greatest battle in human history, you may just need to move on instead of stopping to check if that unconscious guy you just eviscerated with your sword is actually 100% dead. Who knows. We will see. What I have no doubt about is that Siggy's fans will be pleased. This is his peak. His apogee. He will be awesome and will beat lots and lots of traitors... Khârn included.

Rob P Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Sigismund is going to go round slaughtering chaos champions and he will totally lose it when the gods resurrect them all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfburk Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Does this mean that Gav thorpe is book 2 of the series? Is it good having Khârn and sigismund fighting on book 2 already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biscuittzz Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Does this mean that Gav thorpe is book 2 of the series? Is it good having Khârn and sigismund fighting on book 2 already? Does it really matter? If the scene is written well, and that's a big if considering it's Thorpe, I find it pointless as Khârn will survive anyway. Rather have Sigismund just running around smacking no name champions, at least that's tactile in a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taliesin Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Does this mean that Gav thorpe is book 2 of the series? Is it good having Khârn and sigismund fighting on book 2 already? Book 3 I think. French, Haley and Thorpe are doing the first 3 books, and I think Haley has the second one. Thorpe says he only just finished an unapproved, unedited draft, I suspect Haley's book has been finished for a while. Still it is not impossible that his is the second, I just don't think so.

MarineRaider Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I love this! You guys are all right about being resurrected later is a bummer but let this be the lesson, take a flamer to all the dead bodies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoebus Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 That blurb does absolutely nothing for me. Flat prose, dry dialogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Ciaphas Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 It is Gav Thorpe. Of course the prose is dry and flat. He has been butchering the Raven Guard in the Horus Heresy for years, the Dark Angels in both 30K and 40k for longer than that...and how he will be diminishing the Siege...

Mr. Lunde Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Oh, this makes the scene/battle feel quite small. If Sigismund is within visual range of Abaddon while being charged by the World Eaters, and can also look over to some Iron Warriors; it kinda seems like a small parking-lot skirmish, not a siege battle the size of the Asian continent... Atleast to me, it does, but luckily its only a few lines in an 8 book series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biscuittzz Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Let's not forget how Khârn somehow flips over the 7-8 foot shield wall of the Fists. Thorpe obviously playing DoW 3 as inspiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closet Skeleton Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Unfortunately... Skraivok has ascended to daemonhood by the 41st millennium, and thus is unlikely to have been killed by Sigismund at the Siege. That's less disqualifying than you might think.
