It should at least be a death worthy to join the likes of Yarrik of Imperial Lore. And what's the deal with Hark? I don't know if I trust him. I guess that's why I think his character makes an outstanding commissar.GnrMach5https://www.blogger.com/profile/00737435663211615376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16623482.post-73255230914773938832007-02-20T16:59:00.000+00:002007-02-20T16:59:00.000+00:00I wrote the very first comment and again i wanna t...I wrote the very first comment and again i wanna touch on the gaunt death issue...It saddens me that its gonna happen, although i knew it would. what worries me the most is who will fill his shoes. I'm not completely up to date on the series as i started reading them last year and the older books are harder to find, i have looked up and researched a lot of what is in store and whats up to date. however, from what i've read i don't see anyone i'd like to see replacing Gaunt. i also get a feeling once Gaunt goes, the Ghosts, though capable of surviving without him will surely feel his absence in one way or another...oh well, i trust your judgment, and i'm sure the next book is gonna rock as hard as the others. <BR/><BR/>as far as the gym goes, i only go when i want a break from school (im in college right now), and not much outside of that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16623482.post-24593245063202007282007-02-20T14:48:00.000+00:002007-02-20T14:48:00.000+00:00no no no. Gaunt should die in an act of selfless,...no no no. Gaunt should die in an act of selfless, stupendous but unsung heroism - performing some great act of which nobody but his closest confidants (and maybe inquisition scholars...) will ever hear or appreciate the true significance. i can't see him going out in a legendary blaze of glory under waving banners; i think he'd be way out beyond all hope in some desolate and wretched hellhole, wounded unto death but fighting desperately until his final breath to deny some cosmic horror of the archenemy. and stuff. he's a tragic hero in the classical sense, after all. he can't die in any sort of way he'd actually deserve :)<BR/><BR/>it's what the imperial guard is really all about, after all: unacknowledged heroes, and extraordinary deeds taken for granted by a hopelessly corrupt imperium.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16623482.post-12145085044127586142007-02-20T14:23:00.000+00:002007-02-20T14:23:00.000+00:00If you're going to kill off Gaunt then it should b...If you're going to kill off Gaunt then it should be in some epic battle. One where the Ghosts fight with...oh I don't know...the Saint? That way Gaunt could go out with Brin playing the ol' tanith pipes. And remember...the Tanith still have to win a world and get a New Tanith.<BR/><BR/>As for some suggested reading material, unless it's philosophy(I'm a philosophy major), I can't really recommend anything non-warhammer.

I'd have to say though the ending of Armour of Contempt was great, and it was also pretty cool how Ven was still supposedly alive. He's always been one of my fav characters. I was reading previous entries and someone had said they'd like to hear what happened to Soric, I think that would be a neat idea as well if he came back as a trained psyker or something along those lines. <BR/><BR/>The ghost novels are by far my favorite series....everytime a new book comes out I can't wait for the next one cuz it usually takes me only a day or two to read :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16623482.post-31375838985745421292007-02-19T18:44:00.000+00:002007-02-19T18:44:00.000+00:00You are on fire with blogging recently.

I really hope its a lie, but ya know, i've kinda seen it coming since the beginning...the fact that ANY of the Ghosts have lasted this long in itself is amazing considering the normal guard lifespan...I gotta say, the Ghosts are probably the coolest thing to ever come out of 40k (even more so than the space marines ^.^) I hope one of the Tanith favorites takes over in Gaunt's stead at the very least.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
