Abnett does ok but rarely has enough action and tends to not focus on the friggin' Primarchs and Beakies enough.<br />Unremembered Empire is definitely Abnett's best HH book I think. Vulkan Lives is like, absolutely required reading though, otherwise you'll be all question marks for Empire.<br />And like all the HH books not written by ADB or Abnett, with a very few exceptions (Flight of the Eisenstein, maybe? A couple others?), meh.

There is so much truth in that.<br /><br />Gav's dialogue isn't much better in the second book but there are a couple of good lines... I suppose we can hope! Maybe just a little... end then get back to... Yikes!<br /><br />CKSplinter https://www.blogger.com/profile/01570072865511086389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8041495124484698825.post-79914465058149332452014-11-22T23:59:02.604-05:002014-11-22T23:59:02.604-05:00I've never really left the Dark Angels... I...I've never really left the Dark Angels... I'm just stuck in the warp so to speak. 7th Edition isn't looking good to me.<br /><br />I've seen some of the rules, meh. I'm not fond of the prices. I've watched the 're-donk-you-luss' things being brought to tables in tournaments and I am not impressed.<br /><br />It seems that it could be 'themed' pretty easy and play for fun but the competative aspect of it is gone. the more money you can throw at it the better... and that is not desirable to me.<br /><br />I've seen you are busy to with 'Garage Gamers'. Anything new on the horizon? heard from the 'Master of Dirt' in Scotland?<br /><br />CKSplinter https://www.blogger.com/profile/01570072865511086389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8041495124484698825.post-2521831453676401252014-11-22T23:54:23.343-05:002014-11-22T23:54:23.343-05:00Shhhhh... I have this cell in the 'corner'...Shhhhh... I have this cell in the 'corner' if you blab any more! XD<br /><br />I'm a gentle critic despite the subject of his books. I'm a very amateur writer and blogger... Gav Thorpe is published. Who am I to jump on the 'yikes!' bandwagon.<br /><br />I think though he is much better then the 'old' days.<br /><br />I did not read in my bathrobe. I was in a hotel away for work and was too scared to get much more comfortable then long pants. It wasn't that the hotel was bad or unclean but it's not my house. If that makes sense.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping Zab!<br /><br />CK <br /><br />Splinter https://www.blogger.com/profile/01570072865511086389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8041495124484698825.post-63242370683714631362014-11-22T17:38:14.909-05:002014-11-22T17:38:14.909-05:00There's a great scene in Unremembered Legion w...There's a great scene in Unremembered Legion where The Lion is talking with Guilliman, and they're sorta interrupted by a small contingent of Beakies-With-Wolves, who are there to monitor da Ultras for any signs of Heresy.<br />One of the Space Wolves is like, 'Yeah, that's great, but before we go anywhere or do anything, there's a little manner of honor to be settled.'<br />And the Lion sighs, and he's like, 'Fine, I'll do this myself.'<br />The Space Wolf, undeterred, launches himself at the Lion, who casually backhands the fool into next week.<br />As the Wolf picks himself up and realigns his face, the Lion says, 'So we're cool then?'<br />And the Space Wolf says, 'Yeah, we're cool.'<br /><br />Good scene. I'm paraphrasing, of course.<br />:)<br /><br />I've already read the first Beakies-In-Robes book, so I'm sure I'll read the second.<br />Zab isn't kidding. Thorpe's dialog is...Og Gawd it's awful.<br />'We are the Angels of Darkness, brothers, and we know no fear. We bring the Emperor's retribution upon the heads of our enemies. Now, we ride! For the Lion! For the Emperor!'<br />-_-<br />Who talks like this?<br />He needs to sit down with Aasron Dembski-Bowden and learn how to write Beakies with a personality...SinSynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12352693991857976930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8041495124484698825.post-12255347540534949492014-11-22T16:44:35.646-05:002014-11-22T16:44:35.646-05:00good stuf!

Gav's writing is evolving, but his dialogue is still pretty brutal. All in all being a 1rst Legion Groupie I enjoyed it, Read the whole thing in my bathrobe just to feel more at one with the characters :PZabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07000817078818838705noreply@blogger.com
