He didn't invent the art of fantasy world building in the style of a historian, and he wasn't the first to apply it to the 40k setting... but he was the best at it. The Horus Heresy books are his magnum opus, and the greatest works of "historical non-fiction-fiction" yet written. Everything he wrote added DEPTH to the setting. There are many writers in the setting, all adding detail and breadth; but only Alan was capable of adding poignancy without pathos, violence without gratuity. He clearly understood the 40k setting better than anyone, and I have been lost in admiration for years over how seamlessly he blended this complex, messy, multi-author setting into a coherent and unified whole. His writing had real love poured into it; love that was combined with intellect and humanity. <br /><br />I am hugely upset by this desperately sad news, and my heart goes out to Alan's family and friends at this shocking loss. Forge World, Games Workshop...the whole WORLD is a greyer place for his passing.<br />Lightbringerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11147936373820352384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6171473526147600929.post-80505439754161201512017-05-28T12:06:11.729+01:002017-05-28T12:06:11.729+01:00you caan look forward to it, praise the new editio...you caan look forward to it, praise the new edition, but I have to be quiet about my opinion ..lulzzz.<br />It's awful because I haven't liked one thing about the new edition that GW has released.

I see it like this:
30k...A very good point Darien.<br /><br />I see it like this:<br />30k is a game where the SLIGHTEST bonus or advantage can make all the difference. The 7th edition rules provided a building point for heresy so that it could develop this style of play. Horus Heresy has definitely become its own sort of game in a way, more than just a supplement for 40k. However! 8th edition is very different from 7th, which is not a bad thing. I'm personally looking foreward to what 8th will bring, but at the same time I recognize that 30k still needs some nuance...something that 8th is meant to actually remove in a way. GW said themselves that 8th will be a simpler game, and heresy is not a simple game. When it does come, 8th ed 30k should be good, but for now, an actual streamlined version of 7th should be fine. After all, GW started out by calling 8th "streamlined 7th" before it turned out to be anything but. So we shall see. For now, let's ride the wave, and try not to make it salty waterAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02680485423646329474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6171473526147600929.post-16180031538120239352017-05-28T01:21:03.886+01:002017-05-28T01:21:03.886+01:00I feel the same way man.

With initiative gone and bonuses for charging (to name a few) it would make a lot of the legion rules obsolete and no obvious replacement for them in the new rule set!

It's just that they shared a common-core rule set. 30K having a seperate set of rules that people have already been playing it with, is no different to AoS and 40K having different rulesets. If you just simply look at it as a different game with a different set of rules then it isn't such a bad thing. I personally am glad it's not going to go across to 8th. At least not in the next year I would imagine. With Angelus pretty much written and Inferno still being fresh it would have been almost gaming suicide. But that's my personal opinion obviously. <br />30K will remain as it is and people will be happy. Some will not. But if you've already been playing it under the 7th ruleset I find it hard for people to complain that it hasn't transitioned.
