Only just now?

You clearly haven't read Inferno

[Sudden Zack Snyder moment intensifies]

I'm sorry he died I guess. I hate the recent HH fluff and what it's done to the game.

The FW HH fluff is one of the best things to come out of this franchise. What part do you hate?

>>53455872

Forge World's campaign books, not the Black Library series

>>53455872
He was the guy writing the broad strokes, deciding upon the timeline of events and a fair part of the black book fluff, not the black library fluff.

>>53455857
>>53455863
Inferno was a dip they could have climbed out of. No longer.

Really shocking and sad. Rest in peace, Alan you legend.

Also this thread should be pinned.

>>53455826
To sam I care that he died would be a lie.
But he seemd like someone who loved HH.

What happened to him?

The cancer finally got him. We killed him.

A strange feel to be sure, rip sweet Bligh.

The Custode fluff was the only good thin to come out of recent HH lore

>>53455826
Heart attack I guess?

terminal cancer actually

>>53457090
Cancer.
Remember to handle your resin carefully.

>>53457135

we could have had arlatax, primarch, or other missing stuff. We get fucking tank clones instead.

>>53456687
terminal cancer according to a blog post from one of his friends

>>53457138
Shit that sucks.

had no idea, really enjoyed his work

cancer affects 1 in 2 males at some point in their lives

terminal cancers are rarer, but depending on whether you wish to undergo treatment to cure or slow the progress of the disease, can actually kill quite slowly

a friend of mine gave up her job when she was told she had a 6-month prognosis with chemo, lived for another 30 months and was kind of bored at the end

but i suppose if she'd known she would be fit to keep working in a reduced capacity, there would still have been people who were surprised when she died "suddenly"

>>53457228
you're mum's a new contemptor

Rest in peace, God of Heresy.

He was great, I loved his fluff in the HH campaign books. Shame. His words will live on, through them he will be with us.

I think that they should make a tank pattern called the Bligh. The man must be honoured.

>6000 GET!
Well done, a 6000 get In remembrance.

What are some books that he wrote?

>>53463529
He worked on all the FFG 40k RPGs, Horus Heresy volumes and a lot of the Imperial Armour books.

He and John French wrote the Horus Heresy campaign books which are absolutely amazing stuff. Now who knows if John French will be the only lead writer or if someone is getting promoted.

Here's my favorite bit of HH lore from the books, Salamanders killing a giant cyber-dragon in the depths of Terra with the magical power of basketball.

>>53463610
He personally wrote Radical's Handbook and Disciples of the Dark God. He was only tangential on the other FFG books.

An obesity related cancer exacerbated by a diet of Cheetos and Mountain Dew I presume?

One less fatty bankrupting the NHS.

>>53467548
>Obesity related cancer
I'm skeptical as to if such a thing even exists. Maybe from eating too much lead but from obesity alone?

>>53455826
Fuck you and fuck blight. Guy was an insecure dick fuck.

Also "Muh carcharodons"

Fucking overrated hack.
One Hack less in the company.

>>53463619
I completely disagree with how French sees Arhiman.
He turned it into a saturday morning cartoon ass hole.

>Muh redemption
From what? saving the legion from flesh change? get the fuck out of here nigga.
