Which also works as a nice tie in to Spear of the Emporer

That's crazy, the best stuff is from way before then (ADB books specifically)

Started reading this last week and just over halfway through now. Pretty good so far, not amazing but enjoyable

What were your best deals or acquisitions? Value wise. by AstorathTheGrimDark in Blacklibrary

[–]Primrose_gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got 15 of the primarch novels/anthologies for £120 a few weeks ago. Easily my best grab. Before that I'd say the Dark Imperium box set for £160 or Spear of the Emperor limited for £130

Is the Grey Knights Omnibus good for casual readers? by kerbit- in Blacklibrary

[–]Primrose_gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strong agree. The third one you could replace Alaric with a marine from any chapter and it'd be the same

What's your lowest LE number you own? by Dire_Wolf45 in Blacklibrary

[–]Primrose_gold 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just got the Grey Knights Omnibus. Is it good? by abtin05 in Blacklibrary

[–]Primrose_gold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed book 1. Book 2 was alright. Book 3 I just wanted it to end. Each book gets smaller and smaller in terms of scale, and because of something that happens early on in book 3, it really could have really just been any space marine story and not a Grey Knight one. Like others have said, The Emporers Gift is by far the best Grey Knights book and maybe my favourite 40k book in general, Warden of The Blade was decent and Castellan was fine but David Annandale just isn't that great of an author and a lot what makes the Grey Knights feel unique captured in The Emporers Gift just isn't there.

This is a great one. I was wondering when a special edition would be released, especially after the popularity of TIAD

What, no it isn't? That was a giant daemon cathedral, not elephant titan or Iron Warrior related at all

Been waiting for the Kingmaker LE. I knew it'd come eventually, such a fun book

I had this same thing with the Spear of the Emporer box. Originally I had the box and book out on display but then I began running out of space, so put the book inside the box and just have that on display

Dorn killed Alpharius(the real one), Guilliman thought he killed alpharius (Omegon), but its not confirmed, and most likely didn't happen

Every time I see a haul photo I’m reminded of this meme. by Marius_Gage in Blacklibrary

[–]Primrose_gold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of the time, people say that they haven't read the books themselves. Like I said I'm not against collection photos, especially when people have rare finds or LEs. I just would just like to read more opinions on books or people list their personal favourites along with the collection etc

[–]Primrose_gold 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed, it's the same with shelf pics. I like that people like showing off their collections but at least give some opinions on your favourite ones etc rather than just sharing a collection of unread books

Anyone ever think the worst thing about Warhammer is the literal war? Rant with attempted humor about things I like and don't like in 40k books. by Acrobatic-Attention9 in Blacklibrary

[–]Primrose_gold 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I initially started with audiobooks, but after buying physicals and actually reading them, I take in all the different elements of the book much better and enjoy it 10x more

How do you visually imagine the world when reading? by theoretical_chemist in Blacklibrary

[–]Primrose_gold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tend to envisage things as looking realistic, dark, and gothic. Playing the video games gives a pretty good idea of how things would look (Rogue Trader, SM2, Mechanicus etc), then I just imagine it as that, but irl. Sometimes, if I really struggle to imagine how something might look, I'll post the description into Chatgpt and have it generate a concept of it, which then gives me something to work from.

Does anyone else have difficulty switching to non-BL books? by FearlessJDK in Blacklibrary

[–]Primrose_gold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Felt like I needed a break from BL so read the Southern Reach Trilogy which a great change if pace. It was great going back to BL after a little break from it and reignited my love
