I always really enjoyed the duel between Xarl and Tolemion. Usually the actual violence in 40k books is just snoozeworthy, but ADB’s action scenes always hit harder for me somehow.

The Night Lords suck and they know it, honestly it rules.

Mike Brooks’ orc short story and novel are legitimately very funny. My wife keeps asking me why I am smiling at my kindle. A nice change in tone for WH books in the same vein as Infinite and the Divine. Feels like some of the new BL authors are really quite good.

the idea that these companies would lose something if they didn't go after fan projects is laughably naive

Yeah, like, there’s no adverse possession for IP rights. I have no idea what principle of law we are thinking operates to transfer ownership from a legitimate, registered owner to an ip squatter, but I don’t think it works that way.

For me GM is just not a great writer, for whatever reason I always bounce of his stuff emotionally and I just cant seem to connect with or care about what happens to his charmless characters. I’ve read a few of his books now and for me the only one that really landed was Storm of Iron. He’s not terrible, just bland IMO.

I loved the reveal that Angron is pretty convinced he'd have turned against the Emperor anyway. Cause what Angron was built for was to cast down tyrants, and by god casting down tyrants is what he was gonna do.

That scene had me loving grinning. It was such a great moment.

I found the torture stuff in the third book to be really rough reading. Just didn’t like it at all. It’s great, a big loving gut punch reminder that the characters you’ve been rooting for are capital “M” Monsters.

Khorne you may have 1 skull now, or, if you are a good and patient boy, you may have 2 skulls after your nap.

Yeah what is up with the “hard places create hard men” meme. Every chapter recruiting the mightiest warriors from a death world is kind of boring. It would be great if some chapter’s recruitment process was like the old Chinese civil service exams and the dude that wrote the slickest 8-legged essay about the virtues of the emperor got stuffed full of magic organs and turned into a walking tank.

ADB just write a fuckin blood angels trilogy you silly bastard, make that Scrooge gold. Like I get it you make art, but dude it’s corporate art about plastic spacemen in service of selling those spacemen. No ones gonna accuse you of selling out.

Also it is criminal that the Night Lords trilogy is getting outsold by anything.

For sure the miracle of BL is that we have writers like ADB, Brooks, DA participating. Like, by all rights it should be nothing but Gav Thorps and Nick Kymes.

There’re a lot of nazis and nazi-adjacent protofascists in the fandom. Incredible to me that anyone can see the insanity and cruelty of the imperium of man as inspirational, but some people really do get off on the fantasy of grinding the masses of humanity into the dirt.

I feel like the Emperors Children should be constantly fuckin and suckin each-other. Do any authors ever get into that in any detail?
