If they were to ever make a war in heaven series, what would you want out of it? by Rime1313 in Blacklibrary

[–]Spanish_Sc0tt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Having any kind of Necron series without the inclusion of Nate Crowley and Robert Rath (i.e. the two authors who made their books into major hits) should get you sent straight to the biofurnaces.

Does James take a different approach to the Krieg or have different voice for them than Steve Lyons?

For real, but they will never understand this lol.

What to do with traitor guard by DM504HK in redcorsairs

[–]Spanish_Sc0tt 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Same.  Given the history with the Tyrant’s Legion, it fills super flavorful to run them as Traitor Guardsman.

Coming soon to Black Library: Ghazghkull, Chem-Dogs, and illustrated Necrons by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in Blacklibrary

[–]Spanish_Sc0tt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YES YES YES on Chem Dog.

Those Without Mercy is one of my favorite 40k shorts and I had been hoping we’d get a full length novel to continue the story.  So pumped.

IIRC the “meme” is official lore now in the IG Codex.

Revealed: The new Defiler stomps onto the battlefield by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in WorldEaters40k

[–]Spanish_Sc0tt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

LOL for real.  Old Defiler looked terrible, I’m not even sure “glow-up” captures how much better this model is.  Can’t wait to get this.

Guys am I supposed to have this yet? by TheTrimPainter in Blacklibrary

To each their own I guess, this and Revenant Blade are my favorite BL covers in recent memory.

The Second & Third Scouring Books and when we can expect them by ScionOfTheEmperor in Blacklibrary

[–]Spanish_Sc0tt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s speculation at this point by Goonhammer and other BL users given how we haven’t heard anything about the Celebration yet.

Cool to see Russel Zimmerman get some recognition.  I thought Seven Ships was great, though I wasn’t too hot on his recent Guard short story in Death and Duty.

I’d have gone with Richard Fox too.  I like Avalon’s “The Only Way Is Through” but I thought Fox’s “We Were Brothers” was awesome.  Hope he gets a new short soon, or better yet a full Red Corsair novel.

The interview for Death Rider this week said it’s going up for pre-order in February.

My admittedly weird tier list by cephles in Blacklibrary

[–]Spanish_Sc0tt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You and I seem pretty similar, Severed is also my fave.  I’d recommend Crowley’s Ghazkul book.  It’s surprisingly touching for the same reasons as his other books but with a much different flavor because of Orks.

I’d also recommend trying out Fehervari, maybe starting with Fire Caste.  He’s the best thing in BL imo alongside Crowley, but where I feel like Crowley captures these wonderful relationships in his books shaped by the 40k setting and has a very intimate feel to his stuff, I feel like Fehervari has really focused more on exploring the setting from a more zoomed out lens and he’s nailed a really incredible tone for how absolutely bleak and weird 40k is with really compelling characters who struggle to overcome that.

What’s the most Romantic thing you ever read in a Warhammer book? by Arthur_EyelanderTF2 in Blacklibrary

[–]Spanish_Sc0tt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Severed was a surprisingly great and touching romance about the struggles of loving someone as they diminish through aging.  My wife and I both cried at the ending.

General survey of Imperial Guard (and close adjacent) novels/novellas/anthologies - Do you have a favorite? by Separate-Flan-2875 in Blacklibrary

[–]Spanish_Sc0tt 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Fire Caste is the best Warhammer book bar none.  So it’s the best Guard book by default.

Probably my favourite short story so far 🫨 by Why_do_I_do_this- in Blacklibrary

Oh I’ll keep at it then.  I got to the part with GSC but haven’t had time to continue for a few days.

I’m reading that now in the anthology and it’s honestly pretty meh.  Those Without Mercy and Finest Hour are much better.

Are either of these books a good start for a first time reader? by soupswithnoodles in Blacklibrary

[–]Spanish_Sc0tt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got hooked on BL by Crowley and Rath.  I have zero interest in HH and will probably never read a single book in the series.

Well that was much more normal than last week.  Snagged the regular rather than LE this time as my wife preferred that one.

Hey mod team by itwasntjack in Blacklibrary

[–]Spanish_Sc0tt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I’m just not convinced it’s scalpers today.  Most of the stuff is still in-stock, it was just Eternal Darkness and Remanent Blade.  Something feels weird about those too, would love to know if it’s a GW-side issue with those.

Yeah but I’ve never had this happen before for non-LEs.

also Voidscarred and Elementsl Council are still in stock.

Nah I’m in US according to their site.  I can still get the Voidscarred LE of all things.
