I'm sure I've said it before
Fuck Erebus.


And we're done.

As a whole the project is staggering in scope really, but a lot of variance in quality along the way.

Not something I'll reread

Asked my dad if he liked HOTD S2 and he said yes but hated the ending. Then we got to talking about Witcher and I told him he will have a new actor when he next watches it. This I told him about Henry’s next project Warhammer. He asked me what’s Warhammer. This was a difficult question to answer so just said “it’s sci fi in 40,000AD”….

And Gaunt’s Ghost can still go fuck itself after pulling that stupid shit it did. Time ain’t healed that wound.

You kinda deleted your posts on the GG stuff you had issues with. I've been curious what your issues were?

[Briar King]

Well…. 1stly did you wind up finishing it since my “mostly permanent” retirement from the boards?

I think you were still going back then.

I did, yes.

[Briar King]

Ok Ghost ending stuff..

Spoiler

this will probably disappoint you I’m not more wordy about with this but it’s been a few years now…the woe machine fuckery with the 2 kids… just went off a random cliff to absurdnosenseaintliningupville. Vaguely remember a sex change to that seemed off. Don’t care to continue past that point. Very much will continue at some point with another entry in franchise though.

While waiting for GAUNT'S GHOSTS to return, and PANDEMONIUM to appear so that I can finally dive into the Bequin books (I've been patiently waiting with book 1 & 2 till 3 is out), I bought all of the DAWN OF FIRE series, and read book 1 AVENGING SON (really solid book, introducing the Primaris Space Marines, awoken Guilliman, ect.)...but then realized that these come canonically AFTER the fall of Cadia and thus the Eye of Terror opening and the Indomitus Crusade kicking off...and I own all the Cadia books (the Minka Lesk stuff anyways), so I jumped into the MINKA LESK omnibus and I'm on CADIA STANDS, and while this is not quite Abnett/GG-level Imperial Guard stuff, it's as close as anyone else has ever come for me. Justin D. Hill has crafted a group of characters worthy of rooting for, Lesk chief amongst them...this is a great read so far to fill the GG's void. Imperial Guardsmen stuff just feels so easy to get into, incalculable odds, gallows humour, and geniounly good people trying to do genuinely good things in a universe gone mad.

Finished CADIA STANDS and the two short stories in the Minka Lesk omni....it's funny, she's not in much of those...It's like Justin D. Hill din't realize he had a character he wanted to REALLY follow till TRAITOR ROCK, and NOW she leads the series.

I like the Cadians. I don't like them as much as the Ghosts. The Ghosts blow them out of the water for every single person being interesting in unique ways. I also feel like Abnett's military knowledge (having been in it) VS Hill's lack thereof works a little but against Hill. He glosses over some of the better things, and deep dives into stuff I care little about....but overall, it's a still a very solid series so far. I feel like it will get better as well. I'm quite enjoying it even if it's no Ghosts.

Continuing on my 40k journey, I'm back into the Eisenhorn books (I'm re-reading the first three as I never read the fourth, so I wanted a re-fresh...)...still wonderfully great.

Thanks for reminding me QT that I still have the 4th Eisenhorn book - The Magos - unlistened to in my Audible library. Once I fininsh getting caught up on Sun Eater, I will listen to that. I agree, they are great.

I need to go through Humble Bundle and Fanatical and see if I have any more Warahmmer books I haven't gotten to.

I buy a lot of them own release day as I don't want them to go out of print and miss out....which means I probably have about 10-12 40k books I own and have no read yet. LOL
