Personal pet peeve in 40k novels or fan concepts is when a faction or subfaction has a generally well established influence in how characters are named and then a given author completely fucks it up. Tech priest names are broadly derived from the Russian Orthodox Church, Italian scientists, and/or scientific technical terms. The Death Guard commonly have monosyllabic names, are pronounced as they’re written, and tend to avoid the letter “I”. Blood Angels are named for Italian artists and biblical angels. Space Wolves are named like Orks name themselves. The Iron Hands have a naming scheme that is impossible for me to quantify but I can tell it’s there and someday I’d love to ask David Guymer about it. Like yes, maybe I am picky or my pattern recognition goes Brrr too hard, but if you slap a generic roman name on one more character who’s not an Ultramarine I promise you I will not read another word I’m sorry.

So I WAS going to get the new Angron book but then I read the interview with the author and intend to fist fight him

Has anyone read any of David Guymer's other novels? Is he a good writer at all and would it still be worth picking up Angron: The Red Angel, or will I just wind up buying a ticket to England to beat the author's head in with the book

The reason I'm upset with his take on Angron is that I find him to be an extremely empathetic character, and I feel that you cannot write what this book is about- how the World Eaters react to their beloathed father's return and how he influences them- without understanding who Angron is.

He's a man who was driven primarily by grief and a desire for his own ruin, and only emerged from that towards the very end of his life when his terminal illness* had nearly destroyed his brain. You have to be able to work that into any characterization of Angron as a daemon Primarch- someone who was just beginning to decide that maybe they didn't want to die after all, before having that choice taken from them by their idiot loser brother. Who is he now that his ability to choose was taken away from him by someone he was growing to trust and love? Who is he now that his slavery can't be ended even in death?

I really hope that this interview is misleading in the contents of the book because Angron IS a nuanced and empathetic character and if you can't see that you don't deserve to write a book about him!!!

Been reading “Grombrindal” by David Guymer at work for the last few nights in the few off hours I’ve had, and I’ve truly hit a point with AoS where I do just actually care about the Duardin more than anything else in the setting. This here, and the Gotrek stories, have really nailed that home for me.

Lovely Queek.

New for Age of Sigmar from the Black Library and David Annandale...and some other stuff...

https://gmortschaotica.blogspot.co.uk/2018/05/black-library-newsletter_8.html

Following your hot piece with Lucius & Saul, can we have something similar for Ferrus & Fulgrim in happier times of course ♡ I would love that, they are my precious OTP...

It's been a while since I've drawn the disaster duo.

Since then I've read the Ferrus Manus-primarch novel and ... well, take a quote:

Ferrus Manus was not renowned for his beauty. He did not haunt the dreams of men in the way of Fulgrim or Sanguinius or Horus, but he was beautiful, as a charnabal sabre or a hand-wrought suit of armour could be beautiful. Akurduana saw now why Fulgrim loved this Gorgon so, and why that love was reciprocated so fiercely.

Guymer, David. Ferrus Manus: The Gorgon of Medusa (The Horus Heresy Primarchs Book 7) (S.29). Games Workshop. Kindle-Version.

In the light of this book, can we please finally stop with this "and they were roommates"-shit? 😉

I have beefed Ferrus Manus up, too. That's what the novel did to me.

Hey Erika, I want to read from the black library but the selection on offer is a bit overwhelming. Do you have a suggested starting point? (Especially for an admech fan?)

For Admech books i can vouch for, the Forges of Mars omnibus by Graham McNiel, Day of Ascension by Adrian Tchaikovsky, and Skitarii by Rob Sanders are all good. The omnibus contains Priests of Mars, Lords of Mars, and Gods of Mars. All of these are available in audiobook at minimum and have been printed in softcover, and require no in-universe knowledge to understand them. Eye of Medusa by David Guymer is about a conflict between the Iron Hands and a civil war on the forge world of Thennos. I started with Forges of Mars, back in 2016, if it is relevant. Hope you find something you enjoy!👍🏻

Guess who just got The Patriot List? (By David Guymer, 2021)
