Black Library Live Report




The Black Library Live seems to have been a hit.
 
The guys over at Battle Bunnies published a full report.  Here are the highlights. 

Seminar 1 - Q&A with Graham McNeill

Graham is currently working on a heresy novel called Crimson King. This is set immediately following Thousand sons. 
He would like to work on Dark Angels however Dan Abnett has a 'great Idea for them which is too cool for words. I had nothing'. Very interesting.
Unit similar to Gal Vorbak in Vengeful Spirit for Sons of Horus. They are the first in a long list of 'subtle temptations for Horus.' The book is about the start of his road where he finally starts accepting the Gods favours.
When asked about what the primarchs would think about the 41st Millenium he said that he believed they would head straight to Terra, tear the place down and start again. He then teased that this was touching on a sub-plot from one of his upcoming 40k novels. Appetite officially whetted. More on this later.
Graham believes that we are about five years until Siege of terra.

Seminar 2 - Q&A with Chris Wraight - Great Wolf 

A lot of the discussion was diverted to White Scars and Heresy.
There are plans for 'Scars 2' - I am excited about this as Scars was probably my favourite book so far.
Chris has a short story immediately after Scars which is finished. 
Chris would like to do more for thousand sons.
He talked about the family ties between primarchs which was brilliant. He mentioned a quote from Scars which, funnily enough has stuck with me too regarding The Khan's thought process for his actions.
The full battle between AL and SWs will be revisited. Either as a short story or own book.
Chris would like to write more about the Sigilite. He mainly wants to touch on Nikea and how the Imperium were on the cusp of 'becoming a psychic race' - between the Emperor and Malcador they had learnt from Eldar's mistakes and would master the warp.
When asked who would win, Leman Russ or the Khan? He replied: 
'As with all primarch fights, it would depend on the circumstance. However, the Khan would win'

Seminar 3 - Q&A with Nick Kyme - Forgefather

When asked what the Kabal are upto in the 40k, Nick said that Eldrad Ulthran outlives the Kabal. He also hinted that they are probably done with Vulkan.
He accidentally revealed the name of this years limited edition anthology 'seditions Gate' it will feature an explanation of Vulkans Artefacts from a 30k perspective in a short called Artefact. 
He would do like to do a Death Guard book as they are relatively unsung.

Seminar 4 - Q&A with Nick Lyme, Gav Thorpe, Graham McNeill and Chris Wraight
GT: Working on a novella called Corax Ravenlord - Corax becomes a pain in the arse. Raven guard become a symbol of hope and unite a world. 
He says that Horus wasn't sidelined during the Heresy. He was waiting. In Vengeful Spirit he unleashes the Sons of Horus. 
GT: Will be more Dark Angels vs Death Guard. More Typhon and Corswain.
We are gunna see DAs get hurt.
Nick Kyme: Alpha Legion fight as a legion in the future. Will be good to be reminded they are a Legion.
GT: More stuff between DAs and SWs. More fundamental stuff for the Heresy for DAs.
GM: some of the Forge World Dark Millenium stuff is incredible.
More stuff from Istvaan 3, Ancient Rylanors story may yet have more to it.
The story of the Perpetuals will be fulfilled.
After the Heresy, Black Library will tackle the scouring, age of unity or great crusade or just continue with heresy.

Seminar 5 - Q&A with John French 

Zharost is chief librarian of night lords and stood with the other Chief Librarians at Nikea. Child of night is a future short story featuring Zharost and Sevatar.
