Angron and Magnus did not deserve what they got. I won’t go into too much detail because that’s a horse that will be beaten to death very soon. That said removing literally all of Angrons agency and making him a non character is a waste of potential, and the Vulkan vs Magnus ‘debate’ was frankly immature and not very well written A subreddit for the lore and stories encompassing the dark future of the Warhammer 40,000 franchise I Horus Rising • II False Gods • III Galaxy in Flames • IV The Flight of the Eisenstein • V Fulgrim • VI Descent of Angels • VII Legion • VIII Battle for the Abyss • IX Mechanicum • X Tales of Heresy • XI Fallen Angels • XII A Thousand Sons • XIII Nemesis • XIV The First Heretic • XV Prospero Burns • XVI Age of Darkness • XVII The Outcast Dead • XVIII Deliverance Lost • XIX Know No Fear • XX The Primarchs • XXI Fear to Tread • XXII Shadows of Treachery • XXIII Angel Exterminatus • XXIV Betrayer • XXV Mark of Calth • XXVI Vulkan Lives • XXVII The Unremembered Empire • XXVIII Scars • XXIX Vengeful Spirit • XXX The Damnation of Pythos • XXXI Legacies of Betrayal • XXXII Deathfire • XXXIII War Without End • XXXIV Pharos • XXXV Eye of Terra • XXXVI The Path of Heaven • XXXVII The Silent War • XXXVIII Angels of Caliban • XXXIX Praetorian of Dorn • XL Corax • XLI The Master of Mankind • XLII Garro • XLIII Shattered Legions • XLIV The Crimson King • XLV Tallarn • XLVI Ruinstorm • XLVII Old Earth • XLVIII The Burden of Loyalty • XLIX Wolfsbane • L Born of Flame • LI Slaves to Darkness • LII Heralds of the Siege • LIII Titandeath • LIV The Buried Dagger We centre on characters familiar to Dembski-Bowden’s Heresy – the Legio Audax, Arkham Land, Zephon, Angron and the World Eaters, Captain Lotara Sarrin and others – with new perspectives and most excitingly ADB’s take on characters he’s previously had little chance to develop. This is their war, and Echoes takes pains – and time – to tell the epic narrative on as small a scale as possible. We begin above Terra as the world dies, before sweeping through the viewpoints we’ll ride throughout, then watch them converge at the one point it matters most. Let’s get one thing sorted: If you’re reading this review, you’re either reading, or planning to read Echoes of Eternity. So, should you read this? Yes. You know you’re going to. Review completed.
Echoes of [Spoilers duh] An unabridged, in-depth summary of Echoes of
This article needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. Echoes is the penultimate book in the Siege series, but eschews the wider war for a laser-focus on the key pieces left on the board and their final stand. At the end of Chris Wraight’s Warhawk we had tales of Sigismund and Erebus, the White Scars, the Fists, the Sons of Horus and the nascent Imperial Cult, but Echoes takes us to the Eternity Gate alone, setting up the major players and putting them in motion to a final, tortured climax. This is the World Eaters versus the Blood Angels, along with a hundred tiny glances at the billions of private wars raging as Terra falls. There’s bolter action aplenty here, but many of the wars are internal and emotional, struggles fought through on every level possible. There's a female Skitarii Transcata-7Y1, who has joined with a lone Imperial Army soldier. Her radioactive weaponry is slowly killing him but he doesn't care. The two are in fact the last loyalist survivors in the Palatine Bastion as it is overrun, and they seemingly die fighting.Technically part of the next segment it's still a major enough plotline that ends early enough that it can still be counted as its own. Kargos, whom you might remember from Betrayer, now wields Gorechild and does World Eater things while getting lectured on the gods by the most smug Word Bearer since... idk they're all kind of smug really. Kargos once got into trouble with Khârn for not only killing someone in the gladiator pits but also for finding it hilarious af. This is when they were still loyal mind you. He's just that much of an ass. Kargos was also pit buddies with Amit so of course he wants to fight the guy. This ends predictably, and in his last moments he calls for an apothecary, which causes him to laugh at the irony. Use italics (lyric) and bold (lyric) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part The book begins with many descriptions of the situations of the siege. "The War is over" and the loyalists are doomed. Since the events of Mortis where the Ultimate Wall was breached, the traitors have swarmed into the Inner Palace and are rapidly making progress. Since the events of Warhawk, Jaghatai Khan is thought dead by most and despite the retaking of the Lion's Gate Spaceport in the previous novel, it has not turned the tide. Indeed Dorn seems to regret Jaghatai's actions as only hastening their destruction. Before I go off maybe you’ll enjoy the book itself so don’t take this as criticism of it as a whole and give it a read. I’m mostly ranting about Angron himself, his characterisation and what it means for the setting as a whole. I’m also incredibly bias for its worth cause these are my guys on the tabletop and I’ve put a lot of money in the hobby. Likewise, this resin incarnation of the Masque – cursed by Slaanesh never to stop dancing – has plenty of daemonic charm. Watch out for that…
Book Review: Echoes of Eternity by Aaron Dembski-Bowden
The Reaver Titan, the Daughter of Torment, then broadcasts a speech. It states that Horus is readying himself to make planetfall and has given an Imperial pardon to the defenders of the Eternity Gate. Those who wish to leave will be spared. However should the eternity gate be sealed shut or should the defenders open fire, they will regard it as an act of war and all will be brutally massacred. Zephon and Amit are worried about the proclamation getting through to the desperate mortal defenders.Embrace your inner daemons with this comprehensive set of fiendish rules and infernal lore for using entire armies of otherworldly entities in games of Warhammer 40,000. Each of the four Ruinous Powers has their own collection of datasheets, plus Relics, Stratagems, Warlord Traits, and psychic powers (except for Khorne, of course), as well as Exalted Daemon upgrades and new Warp Storm powers . On top of that, there’s an Army of Renown for the Disciples of Be’lakor, who also get their own Stratagems and psychic discipline. As a side note, unsurprisingly given ADB’s personal life, the novel has some very interesting themes on mental health. (Sangy’s speech seemed very very real, and as someone with depression I honestly was touched by it.) That topic is worth a full essay done by a better writer than me though so I’ll end it here.
Great Deal
