The Thousand Sons have some idea that they can halt this slow change…” The primarch is losing his memories, and his powers. Many of those shards are being destroyed, or breaking down further. Laurie: “It follows the concept of Magnus’ psychic shards, from when he was broken by Russ. Laurie’s description is as good as anything I had, although there was a wry mention of ‘I wonder if anyone has any schemes, to stop things changing…’. The subtitle of this is ‘A soul divided’, which sounds cool. It follows on from ‘Warmaster’ but also directly from ‘Vengeful Spirit’.” Numbered novels Laurie: “It shows that Horus himself doesn’t necessarily need to do anything to a planet in order to crush his opponents. As war expands and Horus pushes towards Terra, sometimes he has to go back and find ways to make previously-compliant worlds resubmit and swear fealty to him specifically, instead of the Imperium. The term ‘dark compliance’ was described as having come out of the Forge World Heresy books. This one doesn’t have a cover yet, which suggests that it might be a later release than the others. Dan Abnett brings us the third and final story, title and content not yet revealed.” Chris Wraight’s story is called ‘The Soul, Severed’ and features on the cover, with Eidolon and Kakophoni/Noise Marines being all warped and melty, fighting against other more wholesome looking Emperor’s Children. Gav Thorpe’s contribution is ‘Valerius’, following the Therions sent by Corax to die at the Great Slaughter of Beta-Garmon. Laurie: “an audio compilation, featuring three stories from Advent 2016. The cover for this is amazing – a sort of Iron Maiden-esque shot of Eidolon and a couple more Emperor’s Children, complete with gross melting armour and bonkers noise weapons. None of these audios have been released yet.
Horus has to roll on through there if he wants to take Terra.”Įchoes of Revelation featuring Gav Thorpe, Chris Wraight and Dan AbnettĪ collection of short audios, in a similar vein to Echoes of Ruin and Echoes of Imperium. It is from the old-old background – like Paramar, a huge nexus for Great Crusade forces in decades past, and a vital route into the Segmentum Solar. David and I joked while he was writing it that this is “Brexit with Titans”…īeta-Garmon is one of the final milestones on the road to Terra.
There is a lot of political posturing on Terra as the crisis of the war puts more pressure on the High Lords, and they are trying to send the Titan Legions to Beta-Garmon against their will, to defend from the approaching traitors. Laurie: “…covers the founding of the Adeptus Titanicus. This was available at the event – it looks lovely, with the artwork from Children of Sicarus on the cover. We’ve already seen both of these released individually as MP3s but they’re soon going to be available in a nice combo package on CD. Heart of the Pharos/Children of Sicarus by LJ Goulding and Anthony Reynolds Once again I’ve not included anything that (at the time of writing) is showing up in the Coming Soon section of the Black Library website.Ģ016 has been the Year of the Heresy with a lot of new releases, but 2017 is looking pretty good as well! I’ve split these releases up into a few different sections just to keep things clear… Audio dramas
#Upcoming horus heresy novels shattered legions series
I’ve included comments from series editor Laurie Goulding alongside some of the titles, to give a little extra detail.Īs with the previous post (on the upcoming Warhammer 40,000 titles) it’s worth remembering that these are not necessarily listed in publication order – no release dates were given. In the second of three posts covering the new titles announced at Black Library Live 2016, I’m taking a look here at the upcoming Horus Heresy releases (including the Primarchs series).
