To be fair the new Adepta Sororitas codex isn't bad, you just need to be very wealthy to make an all metal army As for the Sisters WD, Ward wasn't on his own with that one Cruddance had more than a hand in that one.
Graham is awesome! Can't wait to see what him and Anthony whip up! I personally liked The outcast dead from Horus heresy the most, Graham did such a fantastic job on it.
Yep that is a really good read. I really like how he portrayed the loyalist marines from the traitor chapters. He made each one unique and didn't resort in portraying them as archetypes of their chapters. The Thunder warriors made great bad guys too.
While Graham Mcneil doesn't always make a gorey story through and through, I feel that his expertise in making a write thrilling through story is what is truly needed in Eternal Crusade. We don't need to read and imagine the violence of EC because we the community will be the battle, the war cries, and the gruesome executions (as I noticed from joining, the forum is definitely ripe with RP)! I'm very excited to hear that Graham Mcneil is in part behind Eternal Crusade's story. Thanks for the news! -edit I want to express that the Graham McNeil story I referred to for my statement was Priests of Mars
Abnett is awesome. Abnett, McNeill, and Counter are 3 of my favs. Though I'm not sure why we'd be getting effusive about Abnett in a thread announcing McNeill joined EC.... I am plenty stoked on Reynolds too. Never a fan of Word Bearers, but the Marduk series is awesome. Marduk is one bad mofo!
I'm really glad that Graham Mcneil is helping with the plot of Eternal Crusade, Hopefully he will portray the Ultramarines the way he has in his previous books.
Graham Mcneill is the literary equivalent of the God Emperor Thousand Sons is my all time favorite book
Good to see some authors with real chops backing the game. I've read the entire Ultramarine series (thus far) and will continue reading whatever Mr. Reynolds churns out. Good stuff that.
