New Dan Abnett Horus Heresy novel "Know No Fear" (the Battle of Calth)

[SotonShades]

I like it. I'm a big Abnett fan, so really looking forward to another novel from him. I love the HH series, so you know I'll be buying this anyway. I even think the artwork is cool. In the fluff in days gone by GW have mentioned Space Marines fighting at the bottom of oceans and in hard vacuum time and again, but as far as I can remember, this is the first time we have actually seen it in artwork (please someone correct me if it's just something I've not spotted in the last 14 years).

Not sure how I feel about Gulliman going helmetless in space, but then again if anyone could it would be a Primach. Equally, if I can suspend disbelief enough to accept tat Imperial aircraft could actually fly, I'm sure I can cope with this

i thought the gauntlets of ultramar were prised from the corpse of a worldeaters champion after the heresy
have i just made this up or will there be some rewite in the fluff?

[Grailkeeper]

Thanks for the pic, I knew the gauntlets were from a chaos champion at something called the Gamalia Reclusiam Massacre- does anyone know what that is?

Also if the Primarchs are giants- how does the gauntlets fit regular sized Chaptermasters?

Hey, maybe it'll be about some random human that no one gives a **** about for 95% of the book with the last three chapters barely mentioning the Battle for Calth. That'd be awesome and completely respectful to Ultramarine fans.

Really? There are Ultramarine fans?

i am 90% shure it talks about how long space marines can last in space somewhere in the fluff or books as i clearly remember reading it somewhere just cant remember in what book.

Well I enjoy Science Fiction myself. Not Science Dissection.

But here we have people that are concerned that someone is breathing or not wearing a helm in space on the cover art....and its been analized that its not realistic.... But the Space marine itself and the powerfist and bolters and the big space ship is real?

Hmmm....K

I just realised he punched head off that word bearer, the one floating at the front.

Where did you get this pic? Do you have anymore inside details?

[Morgan Darkstar]

the pic was sent to me by a friend however it has been floating around the interwebs for a day or two.

as to other information, none that i can reveal unfortunately.

Oh and just because i haven't seen it posted, here is the cover of Dan Abnett's upcoming Gaunts Ghosts novel "Salvation's Reach" again sent to me by a friend.

I guess Mr Abnett is getting quite a bit of my money in the not too distant future
