A quick PSA here for all RG and HH fans. BL are releasing their latest limited edition novella, featuring the best legion & the best Primarch, smacking the Dark Mechanicum upside their heads by the look of it. Orders (http://www.blacklibrary.com/horus-heresy/corax-soulforge.html) go up Friday 5th April (tomorrow) at 6pm BST and will be availaible for 7 days only.

I dislike limited edition things :(

When they were a limited number of copies then I would be inclined to agree, but they are now limited by a purchase window which means everyone who wants a copy has chance to get one whilst BL only have to print as many as they know they will sell. I don't see any issues with doing it this way.

It kind of flies in the face of their print-on-demand service though...

limited time release is one think, £30 for a novella is something else...

Yeah, that is somewhat of an issue. I'll still buy it of course, but I'll do so grudgingly.

Sitting this one out. It's either this book, or Codex Tau.

Codex Tau won't get any cheaper ever. This one however will eventually be reprinted, just as the others will be. Just not for a while :)

Everyone has their price, I really wish I had the mephison novel, but I have a limit and if it is above that I go without, which is sad as I want it all. ALL I TELL YOU!
I am also very prepared to wait for hardbacks to become paperbacks.

Yep looks cool, but not $50 cool.

I bought the Mephiston LE because I'm a Blood Angel nut but for the rest of the limited editions and hardbacks I am content to wait for the paperbacks too. Although having the Heresy novels released in a larger format paperback before the trade paperbacks does feel a bit salt in the wound however.

I have the issue that once I start collecting a series, they need to be all of the same sort, not necessarily the same eidtion, but they have to look visiually akin to each other, e.g. all paper backs or all hardbacks, consequently I am still waiting for the 4th Gaunts Ghost omnibus

Yeah, it is a royal pain waiting for the normal paperback HH books to be released. Will probably get this one as I enjoyed the White Scars book. Now does anyone want to sell me Promethean Sun and Aurelian? :)

Omnibus is already a plural you don't need to replace the 'us' with 'ii' :D

Worryingly I completely understand where you are coming from.

As long as you don't use it for octopodes we'll get on famously.

Can I also suggest you try the hebrew suffix -eym (ים) to mix it up a bit ;)

zeav - wolf
zeaveym - wolves
