The Lion: Son Of The Forest (Warhammer 40,000)

Product Information

Alongside Lion El’Jonson you’ll get three elite Bladeguard Veterans – the perfect retinue for such a close combat powerhouse – a packed Dark Angels transfer sheet, and two beautiful prints depicting key art from Arks of Omen: The Lion . Evil Gloating: Seraphax is more than happy to brag about his plan when he has the Lion on the ropes, as he wants to convince him about the righteousness of the whole venture.

I don't know how the Psychic Awakening events fit into the timeline as most of these are also post-Baal. The mistrusting feral child will always be in him, but I also want to see character development and growth. But the Lion should be smart, calculating and ultimately loyal to the Emperor and His ideals for the Imperium, and he is capable of humility and acknowledging shortcomings, though such humility is not one of his core traits. If you enjoyed those aspects here, or are simply interested in more of the lore of the modern era, I reckon you'll probably enjoy them. The Magnus stuff is likely happening a couple of years after Wolftime, considering that Ashes of Prospero is that novel's direct follow-up.

The Lion and the Fallen have been flung into the future because their homeworld of Caliban was blown to pieces by the battle between Lion's loyalists and the Fallen. For me, the part of quote from him regarding failing the Emperor and his brothers means he's looking at his actions of the past as being the failure, that by going off to destroy the homeworlds of the traitors was futile, destroying Caliban was the result of his previous approach. He goes there, along with Zabriel and Lion Guard (a dozen or so humans who proclaimed themselves his honor guard).

Featuring an intriguing and emotionally charged narrative that perfectly revives a key Warhammer 40,000 character, The Lion is an outstanding read and I think this is probably Brooks’ best Warhammer novel yet.Aborted Arc: Early in the book, the Lion and Zabriel stumble upon the Thousand Eyes experimenting on captured space marines, and Baelor's first two point-of-view chapters mention that Seraphax has been trying to forcibly trigger the Blood Angel's Red Thirst.

In addition to concluding the latest narrative arc for Warhammer 40,000, Arks of Omen: The Lion contains expanded rules for Boarding Actions. Lion rescues the locals, who explain that he's on the planet Camarth, which was invaded and decimated after the opening of the Great Rift. I am wondering what the situation would be like if the Lion rocks up to the Rock with 20,000 of his former dreadwing/firewing lads from 30k that are loyal to him and telling the rest of the 40k DA to get over it. The Primarch of the Dark Angels has spent 10 millennia sequestered within the Rock, and the time is nigh for him to rise. The Lion: Son of The Forest will be released alongside the exquisite new miniature, available in a special edition fit for the Knight of the Nihilus himself.Affably Evil: Baelor and Seraphax are both extremely polite to their brothers, even as they try to kill them. So he goes back to basics and sets out on a one-man crusade to try and purge each world of its biggest monsters.
