We're going to record the Fulgrim episode this Thursday. If anyone has any questions or observations or things they'd like to discuss, please post them below!

James Larner

How would you both rank the five books so far? And what character would you most like to cosplay as? ;)

Synthomite

Did the depiction of Istvaan V live up to expectations?

John Prew

Now she's seen more of Fulgrim and the info she's gathered on the pre heresy Emp Children, where does Mira stand on if Fulgrim was always going to fall to chaos due to arrogance and pursuit of unachievable perfection? OR Was his loss actually a major loss for Imperial forces to provide the leadership that his legion used to provide?

Ben Dixon

I understand if you don't want to talk about this because it's not in the book, but do you think the Reflection Cracked short story was a mistake? Was there any reason to retcon Fulgrim's fall? I can understand wanting to give Fulgrim more agency as a character, but for me it really cheapens the ending of this book which I thought was one of the most dramatic parts of the Horus Heresy.

Basically, he's on the bastard scale, but does he deserve it or was it all cos of a dodgy knife.

Will Dennis

do you find Fulgrim is ultimately a tragic figure or just a straight arrogant dick of a villain? and is this the first last and only time we see sex in a Warhammer novel? 😂😂😂

First off, like with Galaxy in Flames with virus bombs I'd like to apologize to Mira for this book introducing her to The Barrel. Second, where do you place the Astartes cast of this book on the Bastard Scale (Iacton Qruze on one end that bastard Erebus on the other)?

Victor C

Have either of you ever been held back by an obsession with perfection? Do you have a way to fight that impulse that could've helped the Emperor's Children?

Ben Audsley

More an observation than a question but Ian has mentioned being quite bored with how Garro and Loken are very similar. Do you think our protagonist Kaesoron becoming evil and cumming into his suit at the novels climax helps keep Fulgrim feeling unique compared to the other 4 initial books?

TTSS Productions

What are your thoughts on the supporting cast of Emperor's Children? We've encountered a few of the Captains (Lucius, Saul Tarvitz etc) before and how do you feel about them now after the events of this book?

Klaus Meier Olsen

Did you find any of the sexy stuff sexy? My main problem with the book - apart from the length - was that the sexy stuff that seduced both humans and Astartes came off as bad wannabe edgy 50 Shades of Grey fanfic to me. And that kind of lessened the impact of the fall of the Emperor's Children for me, because it all just became a bit silly, campy and badly written. Also: Can Black Library maybe put a temporary ban on the trope of Primarchs falling to chaos because they find a talking weapon that turns out to be evil?

Angerboda

I wonder if Slaneesh is based on any real life mythological deity? Based on the androgeny angle, and fertility association. Im getting heavy "Inanna-Ishtar" vibes. Which also would be a "occult goth godess" going around the 80. Which, well, seeing how brittish society demonises trans peoole with a fervor, explains "alot". Since Inanna-Ishtar had a, what we would call today, a trans/genderqueer priesthood.

N Their pronouns (sidestepping that, as a god, neither Slaneesh or any of the other Goth gods have a gender), it is a bit wierd how the only genderdiverse/fluid one is "the kinky debauchery one", and how GW apperantly has picked out "He" as a pronoun, when it shifts a bit in universe. Since the eldar use "She who thirsts". Real, "we are a bunch of cis, white, hetero guys who are skewed out by The Trans/Queers".
