Mars trilogy is rad but there are so many lore bits it leaves dangling in the wind with no resolution

I like Word Bearers because they're the loving worst and wish to read about this, the shittiest legion (even worse than the loving Wuffs), being lovely (while ironically enough also being the kid at the parade who points out the Emperor's new clothes were, in fact, not things). I think I read the first Word Bearers novel, not sure why I didn't read the other ones because I remember it being p.deece bolter-porn but I'm really more interested in any anthopology about Colchis. Is Lorgar: Bearer of the Word generally considered to be an goode booke? Also: same Q for The First Heretic?

First Heretic is fantastic, as is the follow up Betrayer.

Khizan posted:Read Know No Fear by Abnett between The First Heretic and Betrayer. Even more so, read ADB's novella 'Aurelian' directly after 'The First Heretic'. It's basically the epilogue to TFH, and I'd say is important to read before Betrayer. The only place that Aurelian is currently available in print is in the 'Eye of Terra' HH anthology, though it is sold separately as an ebook. I'd love to see an omnibus of First Heretic+Aurelian+Betrayer. I reckon that's the best through-story in all of 40k novels, other than the Night Lords trilogy. 'Know No Fear' focuses on a different legion (Ultramarines) and has a different author (Abnett). The Word Bearers are the antagonists in this one. It does absolutely cover what takes place between First Heretic/Aurelian and Betrayer, just from the other side of the heresy-fence.

The Butcher's Nails audio drama bridges the gap between Aurelian and Betrayer. It's really good, too.

It's in the Angron anthology along with two other short stories about Angron. 2 are by ADB and one is by the guy who did the Shira Calpurnia books.

New shows like the Eisenhorn project might be the first to go. Eisenhorn was only in the very early stages, I don't even think there was a script yet. So it should be safe. I also believe GW is seriously committed to taking a big step into visual media. The new management has really changed the company and is intent on expanding it into a much wider arena. GW stock was one of the very top performing British stocks in the last decade. They are printing money and in a prime position to take a big step like this. I seriously doubt the back off at this stage.

So I got signed Collector's Edition copies of Harlequin and Chaos Child, the 2nd and 3rd books of the Inquisition War trilogy on the way. They were cheap on Abe Books. The first 40k books released, before there even was a Black Library. Unfortunately, the first book, Inquisitor, only ever had a paperback release, but I contacted Ian Watson and he said he would be happy to sign a copy and mail it back with instructions on how to get it to him! I figure I will go ahead and pick up a copy of Space Marine for him to sign as well. He's 77 so he might bite it soon so I might as well do it all in one go. I'll post pictures of Harlequin and Chaos Child when they get here as they are gloriously ugly 90s covers/art.

Listened to spears of the emperor and rites of passage. Both of them were really good. I wish I had listened to lords of silence instead of reading it. I think I would of enjoyed it a lot more. I also read the cawl book, the great work. It was alright but it felt a bit like a book in a bigger narrative rather than its own thing like spears and rites.

So Games Workshop made a big mistake and had noted racist piece of garbage Arch Warhammer promote the Warhammer World of Warships crossover. Good news is they recognized they hosed up and put out a statement. Honestly surprised they made that screw-up after they condemned him a month back when they made their inclusivity statement

GW also took legal action against Arch for the “Warhammer” portion of his name and now he can’t use it any more. GW may not be a saintly and amazing company but they weren’t the ones who hosed up by workin with actual Nazis here.

I thought it was some intern fuckup by GW, but good on them for being so uniformly staunch on their stance against him. Sad that not willing to work with a literal nazi is a position most companies won't take.

What's best about is GW is taking a stronger stance than most companies are managing, because they're being explicit. It's easy to say 'We stand with BLM' or whatever, that cops you some flak off fuckwhistles but you'll coast by, and they'll come buy your Product anyway. GW have out and out been saying 'No, gently caress nazis'. One is supporting a side, the other is condemning the other side, and that's harder for a company with public shareholders to swallow. So right now, Good Fuckin' poo poo GW.

IshmaelZarkov posted:Because I love seeing toxic elements of the community get dunked on and have no idea aboy this Arch Warhammer guy, is there a thread somewhere that I can learn what level of shitheel he is in order to enjoy this more? To make a long story that doesn't deserve to be told short: Arch Warhammer is an rear end in a top hat youtuber who got big by making lore videos about Warhammer and Warhammer 40K, basically being the 40K wiki in spoken form. He's a notable racist who has had multiple instances of his public discord screenshotted where he's called for the deaths of jews, blacks, gays and anyone he considers an SJW. If you've ever looked up a video on a piece of 40K lore, he's probably been the first pick on youtube's algorithm. He sits in a peculiar crossover between fascist Total War fans and fascist 40K fans, since he's been blacklisted by Creative Assembly for his racist comments, notably to the point where the previous community manager for Creative Assembly's last words in that position were to tell Arch to go gently caress himself. When the Black Lives Matter movement sparked up again with the George Floyd Murder, Games Workshop openly declared their support for BLM and told the racist part of their community that they're not welcome and can gently caress off back to whatever hole they crawled out of. Arch threw a hissy fit, which he's done a lot of in the past year. The Warhammer Adventures kids books and GW's overall effort to be more inclusive pissed him off because they were becoming the SJWs he hates and dumbing down the super serious grimdark HARD MEN MAKE HARD CHOICES CATHOLIC SPACE NAZIS ARE THE BEST misrepresentation that 40K has been accused of for decades with varying degrees of validity. He's openly harassed tabletop competitors and streamers who are gay or transgender and he's been more than willing to set his sycophantic hatemob of followers on people he doesn't like. In essence, he's a Skaven neonazi in human skin and the more he gets blacklisted and deplatformed the better. If you want, here's a video of the discussion around Arch and a link to the reddit thread where several of his discord comments were posted. As you can imagine, a highly visible individual shouting blatantly racist and homophobic comments is not a good look for any company's fan community. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SG3Q_HzUVZg If you want a lore video about Warhammer, you have far better options. MajorKill is a not-so-serious warhammer youtuber, though he may strain you depending on your tolerance for australian casual swearing. I thing Luetin09 is supposed to be decent? I can't say I've watched much of his stuff to make an opinion. Kirioth TV and Chapter Master Valrak are good for actual tabletop news and community projects, respectively.

Speaking of lore, I just found out dogs went extinct at some point in the setting, but were recreated Jurassic Park style by the ad mech. Doggos with bionic legs and tiny helmets scratches an itch I didn't know I had with 40k.
