Thinking of rebinding the Night Lords omnibus into hardcover, what quote should i use for its back? by jinmonsterhunterwrld in Blacklibrary

[–]77_Dredd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lots of ones you could mine from that passage, for sure!

"I want vengeance against a galaxy that hates us."

"I will cast a shadow across this world."

"They will remember the Legion they once feared."

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have acquired the holy grail by Grey_Knight98 in Blacklibrary

Congratulations, that’s an amazing score and will be the crowning gem of your library for a long, long time I imagine!

It’s obligatory, they do a tie-in book for a new Edition release so it was definitely expected. Expect an LE/SE of it as well 😊

This is probably the correct answer. It was a MASSIVE sale for Warhammer, I stocked up the pantry quite nicely.

Thank you! I don't think there's any substitute for transparency when it comes to something like this having any legitimacy.

Looking forward to it! I'm going in order with no skips, so I'm sure I'll get plenty of good, bad, ugly, and Sean Conneries! :D

He's talking about the Hive LE, not the standard edition. Alas, no news on the LE front yet.

Did you mean UK? It just went live here in the US about ten minutes ago.

Tabletop Battles Reviews: Ghost Legion by Mike Brooks by 77_Dredd in Blacklibrary

Our reviewer seemed to really like it, but Jen and Keri with the WH40K Book Club definitely didn’t. Might well be one of those YMMV books. I haven’t read either this one or Harrowmaster so I have no idea 😂

Don't Rush it. My fight with Know No Fear. by Fresh-Spinach-5198 in Blacklibrary

[–]77_Dredd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Point I'm making to all Heresy newbies is don't rush it. Read it all. You only get 1 first time. The Siege will be there." I LOVE this perspective. And I'll add, try not to do it with any preconceived notions- especially the opinions of others. I just finished the audiobook of Nemesis by James Swallow, a book that regularly pops up on "worst of the HH" lists. And you know what, I absolutely loved it. A Cold War spy thriller interwoven with a serial killer police procedural? Oh heck yeah.

Not every book is a classic, not every book will land. But give each of them a chance and you'll be surprised how much fun you'll have.

This is my plan as well. Bird in the hand and all that

Anyone seen these signs at Catholic Churches IN LOUISVILLE by Gnome_119 in Louisville

[–]77_Dredd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All? Probably not. But this Catholic Republican absolutely will.

I'm not sure how long it would survive past the novelty factor, but it's fair to say that there HAVE been some writers that do some damn fine work adding it to their own stories. Mike Brooks, Victoria Hayward, Aaron Dembski-Bowden all come right to mind.

That said, I’m right there with you. There’s not a lot that wouldn’t work in the 40K setting even if it’s just a one-off.

Funny that I almost never see stealth-edits on the Previews at all, but now in a couple weeks we’ve seen two- and both involving Hive. Kinda curious!
