It'd be great if they weren't... but that's the only one that can get them.Pascalnzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950812748188819069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831276194138109948.post-88818159750130393272016-09-30T07:47:36.179+01:002016-09-30T07:47:36.179+01:00Yeah, a lot of this was fairly by-the-numbers when...Yeah, a lot of this was fairly by-the-numbers when it came to the core story. Sure, the actual way they presented it was new and there were a few innovative moments during the story, but the core plot just seemed to be a straightforwards assault. Honestly, the fact that this actually seems to be better than the more ambitious tales does make me wonder if the writers need to seriously stop and go back to basics for a while, then attempt the likes of Curse of the Wulfen again at a later date.Bellariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02652722543111095280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831276194138109948.post-427860948116315282016-09-28T06:48:41.472+01:002016-09-28T06:48:41.472+01:00I did read the parts before when you first posted ...I did read the parts before when you first posted them however I've refrained from commenting on it because (aside from Kharn's antics) there really wasn't anything to comment on. Everything seemed to safe, especially with the rules and when they announced the four different disciplines/sorceries it was obvious they were just going to copy-paste Angel of Death's powers. As such I really don't have too much to say one way or the other and you summed it up very well here, but I figured I'd comment anyway just to give my general thoughts anyway, but on the plus side at least this wasn't Mont'ka levels of terrible.<br /><br />I'm also writing this because I've noticed a common theme, it seems for the most part the best 40k narratives when they're based around a big campaign like this are the ones that remember that the battlefield and overall galaxy is a huge place, it's entertaining to see Kharn take out a Reaver Titan however that only lasts so long, when a series like this focuses pretty much entirely on the action then it all just gets boring and the fighting doesn't seem like it has any sort of scale.grdaathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722216755745063033noreply@blogger.com
