Ah yes let's try to trademark Imperial Guard, a term in common usage for no poo poo centuries at least.

Waroduce posted:I didnt like Pariah because I wamted Eisenhorn and/or/vs Ravenor and I was pretty disappointed most of the way through. It was good, but not what I wanted. I totally get why some people didn't like it. It's such a slow burn through the first half, and if you came in expecting Ravenor/Eisenhorn right off the bat it was definitely a let down. I loved it though. It took it's time setting up all the pieces, and kind of subverting your expectations. That slow introduction of Eisenhorn in the temple and you know what's going on a little more than Bequin but not that much more. And then Gregor body checks a loving Chaos Marine in the stairway and I had to stop reading and get up and go for a smoke and walk around for a bit because it was literally too much  I think the one thing Abnett does a little better than ADB is payoff for the things he's previously set up. And that's been one of the best payoffs I've ever read. Even better than the best moment in the original Eisenhorn trilogy. Cherubael Yesssss Kill it. Edit: gently caress it I'm gonna read it again.

Vadoc posted:I wish the next book would just come out already, but it's been set aside because they want him to write a bunch of other stuff first. ARGH! I'm hoping Abnett has it set aside and is just taking the time to work the series into his masterpiece Not gonna lie I finally got around to reading Pariah and was like 'Holy poo poo the next book isn't out yet?'

Libluini posted:Good, now squeeze Ivan's War by Catherine Merridale into that ugly empty spot and you have at least one good book in there. And in a twisted and round-about fashion, it's even relevant! Ivan's War made me realize most WH40K authors are only playing at grim dark.

Was the introduction of the raptors in the Night Stalkers series a model thing? Just finished the books and they weren't mentioned at all in the first book and all of a sudden were all over the place in the 2nd and 3rd.

Arquinsiel posted:Also relevant is that GW doesn't really bother with rank all that much and you've got Sergeants and "Veteran Sergeants" effectively doing the same job, but somehow being different. Dude could be Colour Regimental Sergeant Major 1st Class and actually have more clout than Captains depending on what the writers felt like declaring was the regimental structure for that unit. It was fun watching Abnett figure out that regiments aren't just a collection of a hundred odd platoons. Edit: Also that one regiment being founded in the first Eisenhorn novel having 50,000 dudes.

Pariah was just about as close to literature as we're going to get in the 40k setting. So the bolter porn crowd wasn't going to take it well. The slow burn was definitely an adjustment but goddamn was the payoff in the cathedral amazing.

bango skank posted:just finished prospero burns there's some good abnett. Abnett isn't as consistent as ADB but he hits some really great moments a little bit better. I love this description from Know No Fear"So Empion's plan had also been dismissed, and Gage's alternative considered: put all power into the teleport system. Transfer a kill squad, maybe two if the power lasted, direct to the Zetsun Veris. Do it the old way." Plus you know, Void Guilliman.

I've been getting caught up with Carrion Throne, Hollow Mountain, Lords of Silence and some other books recently. Why is "Angels of Death" now a thing? I'm just barely coming to grips with Astra Milatarum.
