WARHAMER HORUS RISING BOOK 1 SERIES

It was so easily shrugged off as if this sort of thing happens all the time. So over all I wasn't impressed with them though I acknowledge the necessity for them. The remembrancers aren't even allowed to see the SM in action, merely following in their rather bloody wake. I understand the need from a meta perspective but I feel that their inclusion as a human element could have been as easily done (and more believably) by using Imperial Army officers, Tech-priests, Navel officers etc. I also immediately questioned, with the rest of the legion, the need to include them in the crusade. I expected that from the Astartes but certainly not from normal humans. In fairness they are not as incredible as Space Marines but other than Karkasy they seem colorless to me too. Speaking of the Luna Wolves I think that the idea of lodges and the Mournival was very well used so far (at least the Mournival part) and I like the character of the legion as a whole.

I like Loken and I want him to succeed and I thought that some of the best scenes are him recounting his stories or in conference with the rest of the Mournival. The characters are interesting but rough in many areas. I liked this book but I liked the start far more than I did the conclusion.

WARHAMER HORUS RISING BOOK 1 SERIES

I love the heresy series so it is nice to see a discussion that I can get into here. Nice work on starting this thread! i will be reading it with interest I have a few other thoughs pertaining to the other questions, however i believe they are better suited for future discussions (ie there are interesting developments/points that come up later that have influenced my opinions - I cant seperate my book 1 feelings with the later books.)įYI i am currently on Fulgrim (book 5 i think?), definitely top notch stuff. I instinctively knew he wasnt a 'proper' marine - I like to think the writing was good enough to not just tell me he was bad, I just felt that he didnt fit, That he was more than just another character.Īfter Loken bonded with the captain (of the guard? ) on the Interex world, I raged indiscriminately when the plans of the crusade were foiled. I just didnt know HOW bad ass they were.Įxperiencing the Marines from the Human perspective is very interesting and adds to my understanding of how these Demigods were perceived.Įrebus frustrates me. The book was so good i finished it (and subsequently the next 3 novels) in one week! Before i read the series, i knew that Space marines were pretty bad ass. Thank you for eloquently putting my thoughts into words. So get reading book 2 if you haven't already so you can join in on the discussion. This is the first book discussion thread, the next one will be exactly two weeks from today, discussing the second Horus Heresy novel, False Gods. Answer all, any, or none of the questions, as you please. These are just sample questions to get things rolling. Thoughts on Erebus's theft of the anatheme? Theories on what he is up to? Thoughts and or theories about what happened to Xavyer Jubal and how that has or will affect the Crusade? What are some interesting differences between this time period and that of standard 40k? How well do you think Abnett did in bringing these characters to life?Īny thoughts on remembrancers? And the iterators? What do you think of the central characters? What did you think of the opening sequence? How well did it introduce the Crusade, the Astartes, the Primarchs, and the Emperor? Here are some discussion questions to get things started.
