Angel's Exterminatus cover

[Lupe]

This is basically the BIG spoiler for Fulgrim.

That's why the eyes in the painting are still horrified.

You'd think that extreme horror is the same as extreme exhilaration for a Slaaneshi demon, though...

[Karl MkVI]

What I want to know is;

What is with Fulgrim reinventing the Andrex advert???

P.S: If the huge bog paper flourish has anything to do with The Primarchs, then I retract that statement; I don't want to know. At least not until I've read said book

P.P.S: I realise this might seem hugely immature. A) You're right; it is. And I'm ok with it. B) Am I the only one who sees it?? C) I stole the comparison from someone else. But it's definitely accurate. I mean, come on, what on earth is that??

[shadowhawk2008]

Andrex advert? Bog paper flourish? I have no idea what any of that means.

[violenceha]

I think he's referring to the large piece of toilet paper floating behind Fulgrim.

[Karl MkVI]

He is. But in all seriousness, I'd dearly like to know what it's supposed to be...

[MyNameDidntFit]

This is basically the BIG spoiler for Fulgrim.

Fulgrim has come to terms with the daemon and has actually got the one up on him. At the end of the novel, it was Fulgrim who was trapped in the painting. Now its the Slaaneshi daemon, caught in a place where it cant feel ANY emotions. Basically its nature is being denied to it. That's why the eyes in the painting are still horrified.

Interesting.

Is the reversal all a part of The Primarchs, or is my memory just lacking in the time since Fulgrim came out?

[shadowhawk2008]

I believe there are subtle references to this in Aurelian. From the extracts that were released in the runup to the novella and since, Lorgar knows about Fulgrim's "duality". At the end of the novella, he also spends a considerable time with him without the presence of his legionnaires or that of Fulgrim.

No one knows what the two Primarchs talked about. It is my suspicion that Lorgar gave some words of wisdom to his brother, Fulgrim, and not to the daemon Fulgrim. And this may have helped the Primarch surpass the daemon even. And the reversal is first mentioned in The Primarchs yes.

Thought folk here might appreciate reading these 2 teaser passages that Graham McNeil posted on his blog.

I was thoroughly sold for this on the artwork too, now I'm thoroughly teased about the content as well.

[ThePope]

"'No helmet?' hissed Kroeger, aiming and firing in one fluid motion. 'Stupid.'"

Pretty much just sold the book to me.

[Forthlegion]

Kroeger fought to get off a last volley, but his arm hung uselessly at his side and his bolter lay in pieces before him. He hadn't even realised he'd lost the weapon. He looked over the edge of the wall, seeing only a handful Iron Warriors clambering towards the rampart. Hundreds of mortal soldiers opposed them with explosives and massed fire. There would be no help from that quarter for now.

How demeaning to be kept out of a fortress by such dross.

Kroeger stared down at the dark blood pooling in front of him, its bright gleam and iron tang curiously pleasant even as it leaked from his numerous wounds.

A cold shadow fell across the bloodied ramparts, and a roaring blast of jet-hot air blasted downwards from screaming retros. Kroeger's spilled blood boiled in the heat and mortals screamed as their uniforms erupted in flames. The Imperial Fist with whom he'd traded words fell as the ammunition in his bolter exploded and transformed his wrists into charred stumps of flesh and nubs of fused bone.

Something fell from the sky, vast and iron, monstrous and cold.

It landed in the heart of the citadel with the booming clang of a funeral bell; the Olympian master of battle, a demigod in burnished warplate, a hammer-wielding avatar of thunder.

Perturabo, the Lord of Iron.

This book will be a snap buy for me.

can someone xplain to me why fulgrims gets so much attention? lol

[Cryptic]

Wow.
A very nice cover but this looks like it would be a Novella? Sorry if i am correct and just being blonde ¬_¬

[shadowhawk2008]

It's a novel....

[Cryptic]

Shadow..
I was simply saying that the cover is good enough to be a novella.

Aurelian with Lorgar on the front, menacing with the Avatar pwned.
This is has the same awe.

I don't see how the cover justifies being either for a novella or a novel....

[Cryptic]

Because the other books front covers have not had 2 primarchs on the front/insert..

[shadowhawk2008]

And Aurelian/Promethean Sun did?
