Nobody gives a fuck what you think you stupid piece of shit

>>54963413

It was probably before you were born I understand if you cant relate.

>>54963413
I didn't know BL writers were so easily triggered. Might want to work on your insecurity Aaron

Why didn't GW hire professional writers for the series?

Your idea sounds terrible, good thing you're not a professional writer.

Man, Neil's covers were ass back then.

And have to pay them decent money? lel. Still, what I wouldn't give to have Cormac McCarthy write the final battle between the Emperor and Horus. Mother of God, it would be epic.

My fucking negro.

Fuck you.
That cover is great. Perfectly melds the Gothic Knights Crusader feel with Sci-Fi cosmic adventure.

>>54965659
Composition, sure.

The Space Marines looking like the cast of Reboot, less so.

lol lad people other than I can see this. A good author doesn't bleed their insecurities, female dominance fantasies and self flagellation into their work.

I enjoy some of the books. I like some characters and like read stories about them. If I don't enjoy a book from the series, I stop reading it.

It's a scifi-fantasy series people, calm the fuck down. 40k has the same problem (some books being good, others being terrible) and nobody screeches about that.

>>54963399
fuck man, I would be so good at this. I'd write for fucking authors credits and exposure if I had to. Why the fuck won't anybody hire me?

>>54966855
Dubs of truth

Its like GW is determined to ruin everything good about their own settings backstory.

>>54966829
>a good author
So none of the BL authors then.

>>54965278

They still do

Pick related was arguably the high point of the series and the first to become a Best Seller

Can't believe 2009 was 8 years ago....

what universe are you living in? 90% of /40kg/ is people complaining about how shit the writers have made the fluff

>Can't believe 2009 was 8 years ago....
After reading the Crimson King I can. That fuckers gone senile.

>>54968470
It came out spring 2010, iirc. But yeah, 7 years. I mean /tg/ itself turned 10 years old this February.

>>54963413
Go away Aaron.
But seriously, only abject fucking retards could stomach this garbage, and you're obviously one of them.

Trashy books written very simply mostly for kids.

Problem is as the kids get older they either grow out of it and find better written books or stop reading.

So you keep on pumping out new ones for the new kids who have only just learned to read.

The horus heresy lasted decades, in which scheming and skirmishes took place across thousands of worlds. You might enjoy looking at long lists of names of battles with losses and victors, but you can get that on wikipedia.

I'm pretty sure the Horus Heresy itself lasted only 7 years, granted stuff like the descent of Lorgar into Chaos did happen earlier and over the course of decades.

>>54972192
>horus heresy lasted decades

The Horus Heresy lasted 8 years you mong

>>54971796

Believe it or not Aaron stated he browses and posts on /tg/ regularly on the Bolter&Memesword forums

>>54972518
He's also been pretty butthurt about /tg/ since they stopped sucking his dick.
