 |  Legion! The new Horus Heresy book, Legion, on the Alpha Legion, is by far my personal favorite. they are, after all, my favorite legion and it was awesome to finally know why they turned. I'll try not to give too much away JIK you guys havent read it yet. The book doesnt follow the marines like the other ones did. this is from the perspective of several Imperial Army officers in the expedition that the Alpha Legion is following. The basic premice is that the army is trying to subdue a world, but they cant because of its powerful chaos magic. they call for help from the alpha legion, who is already operating in secret on the world, unbeknown to all, and they pop out and start the offensive anew. however, there is a spy in the imperiums midst, who works for The Cabal, an anti-chaos group who needs to talk to Alpharius about something extremely important, namely: The Heresy.... Now Dan Abnett is definately the person for the Alpha Legion. I got it on saturday and couldnt put it down until last night. they have always been my favorite legion, and in light of this book i am planning on converting my chapter into Alpha Legionaries

| Re: Legion! I love the book. Im about 3/4 way through it, really cool style they did with it this time around. I gotta say though my favorite book so far is Fulgrim. I dont think I ever wanted to be a noise marine so bad. Definately making conversions for it, especially (I forget his name) the VERY first Noise Marine. |

Blog Entries: 5 | Re: Legion! Flugirm is a rollercoaster of a read. well, it dosent just suddenly speed up in terms of pace, but it keeps the suspense there, and keeps jolting you with idea, all of which are proved false at the end. to put it simply, fulgrim, plenty of surprises, plent of twists, and abnett delivers once again. anyone who is an abnett fan or is merrly a casual SM fan should pick this book up, its a really good read.

| Re: Legion! fulgrim is more action packed, Legion is more secrets, plot twists, and conspiricy.

| Re: Legion! Just finished legion this morning. It's easiliy one of my favorites, I've never seen so many plot twists in a story. Highlight for spoiler: Did Alpharius having a twin take anyone else completely by suprise?

Blog Entries: 8  | Re: Legion! Legion is fugging brilliant, i would say it was AWESOMESAUCE but AWESOMESAUCE is wayy to awesome. That aside i liked how we were following the Imperial Army instead of a Legion as it makes a nice difference, the ending is a twist i didnt expect at all. Im waiting on the next one as i have finished it.

| Re: Legion! "especially (I forget his name) the VERY first Noise Marine. " The first Noise Marine was Marius Vaerosian crimslain. He went slaaneshi slaphappy during the mariviglia. And I can't wait to read legion either, but I just started Descent Of Angels. Fulgrim is my fav so far (naturally, since I a loyal Slaaneshi) with Galaxy In Flames running a close 2nd. I loved Tarik Torgaddon!!
