vaholm MrToad vaholm I know this is off topic, but there is no where else to put it. Have any of you ever read any of those books by George R R Martin? They keep getting mentioned in WD and I was wondering if they are any good. All four, baby! and we're looking at 3 more. Yeah, he's awesome. It's low fantasy, as they mentioned in WD, so there's less fantasy and more dirt, and every character has a flaw, but I highly recommend it. They're huge books, and they read more like historical fiction than fantasy, esp. the first, but that only makes the occasional magic spell or dragon more interesting. The downsides are that they have enough sex in enough detail to seem a little perverted (not that much sex, but still notable amounts), they're really long, and sometimes hard to understand (maybe 15 protagonists, and about 10 fictional civilizations w/ their own religions, traditions, and politics.) He likes to make up midaeval slang words that take a couple pages to understand what they mean (like "scorpion" means ballista, and "manticore" means scorpion the animal). But very well thought out, very detailed, some of the best character development i've ever read; as an omniscient reader with no central main character, you have the pleasure of picking who to root for. I read them all. A fine yarn thus far (love Tryion -what a smart a** eh?). Now I am doing a Vampire Count Blood Dragon force based on the concept of an entire army of Others. |

Kirara. TheDarkMercenary Personaly, I like the Black Libraries books, but it always confused me how the Emperor made his Primarchs...so...so..well....crap! There's 20 of them (I think) and 10 of them suddenly turn evil! I mean, they're meant to be perfect. This the 31st Millienium and the Emperor is a psyker. Why didn't he think "Hmmm, don't want to trust Horus! He might be evil after a while!" Yes, I collect Imperial Guard, but I'm not sure if THEY want to follow the Emperor after a few chapters of Horus Rising!! |

Yes, I collect Imperial Guard, but I'm not sure if THEY want to follow the Emperor after a few chapters of Horus Rising!! Lets see how much of a nuisance they are when my armoured division takes a drive up your choco-starlato! How dare you insult the great, almighty Imperial Guard. It's not like they hire great, hulking monstrosities......oh hang on, they use ogryns. Well, it's not like they always run away....ah, that's the need for Commissars. Well....well.....they can still fratenise with women!
aaanyways, i dislike the inquisition war trilogy, i find myself getting bored while reading it. i think ill pick up double eagle sometime soon.
and arnt ogryns mutants or xenos? |
