It started with win I started playing 40K<BR/>But at the time I was into comic books also! I was going through my comic book collection a few months ago and cecking out my Marvel UK books, like Warheads and Deaths Head II and some others, back then I loved the War Heads and Deaths Head II! And was wondering what happend to Deaths Head are you thinking of doing anything more with Deaths Head or is there a trade paper back out there of him!<BR/>And I also like the work you do on the 40k books!<BR/>Thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16623482.post-28994025993925873162007-10-07T18:13:00.000+01:002007-10-07T18:13:00.000+01:00Jesse, I'd be honoured, and you're welcome to kill...Jesse, I'd be honoured, and you're welcome to kill my character anytime you like (though I'd rather you didn't assassinateit , since that's something different entirely;-)). Depending on just how secret your name has to be kept, you're welcome to contact me off-Blog and let me in on the secret. If you visit Graham's site, you can use the contact function there to send an email which Graham will pass onto me and I'll contact you privately, if you want.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16623482.post-70712619986526117622007-10-07T07:24:00.000+01:002007-10-07T07:24:00.000+01:00Dan:What a great interview!

Well done, Tempest.<BR/><BR/>Are there any plans for how many books it will take to finish out the Horus Heresy series?<BR/><BR/>I can't wait for Descent of Angels! Mitchel Scanlon is a good writer. I would have thought the Dark Angels to be more of Gav Thorpe's domain, but I can see Mitchel doing a good job with it. <BR/><BR/>When they finally get around to throwing the looney-@$$ sons of Fenris into the mix, though, it's going to have to be William King. <BR/><BR/>Matt:<BR/>You didn't use my given name. You used my last name which, because of my job, I can't give out over the Blog. Don't think that saves you, though. I'm still going to kill your character off in my first book. Then I'm going to kill off Graham's character for harboring a murderer at his place! <BR/><BR/>Nobody in Particular:<BR/>The Army is FINALLY going to test new weapons next year! I'm so happy! The last competition was judged by the makers of the M-4. Guess which rifle won. . . Next year it will be a panel from Colt, FN, H&K and others. The U.S. Army might actually walk away with a battle rifle that's worth a damn! Maybe even the SCAR. . .

I may be in Iraq by then, but dammit, that's what Amazon.com was MADE for!<BR/><BR/>***Honey, if you're reading my posts, STOP HERE!***<BR/><BR/>I proved a valuable point today! I took down the Colossus of Rhodes! We've begun to incorporate more advanced hand-to-hand combat into our training here and I was paired up with a football (American-style) player who looked like he would bulge out of terminator plate. He ear-holed me once, elbowed my eye and damn-near dislocated my shoulder, but I choked him out in the end! Ha ha! See! An Imperial Guardsman CAN go toe-to-toe with an Astartes and triumph! (With enough leverage and post-battle ibuprofen. ow.)<BR/><BR/>Also, I just finished Lord of Ruin today! Bravo! I had an ending in mind that I was hoping for throughout the entire book and you NAILED it! All I need is a Warpsword of Khaine and I guarantee that goliath won't get in so many licks next time!<BR/><BR/>Nik, you're my hero! I've started working on another project, but progress is slow. I don't really have a submission goal, I'm just working for my own benefit. I like that. <BR/><BR/>Oh, does anyone have any contact with Matt Keefe? He wrote "Outlander" in the Necromunda series. One of the characters in his book shares my name and he killed me off! I'm pissed (in the American sense)! I ought to write a book with his name in it, kill him off and see how he likes it!Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03741091074274362447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16623482.post-4378684965815905582007-10-04T23:57:00.000+01:002007-10-04T23:57:00.000+01:00@Robert u need to write a whole episode ha ha ha@Robert u need to write a whole episode ha ha haAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16623482.post-83677086500062429752007-10-04T22:59:00.000+01:002007-10-04T22:59:00.000+01:00Robert - Ha-haha-ha-haRobert - Ha-haha-ha-haAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16623482.post-2597594426798509652007-10-04T22:50:00.000+01:002007-10-04T22:50:00.000+01:00Thomas: Hugh Laurie is an interesting choice for G...Thomas: <BR/><BR/>Hugh Laurie is an interesting choice for Gaunt. My problem with it is that I'm such a huge Wodehouse fan that Mr. Laurie will always be Bertie Wooster to me in the deep, primal regions of my brain. The thought of him as Gaunt... well... we'd need Stephen Fry as Beltayn. <BR/><BR/>"This is rum, Beltayn."<BR/><BR/>"Indeed, sir." <BR/><BR/>"Mitty Chass insisting we give her lunch on the same day we're to receive the Blood Pact Assault?"<BR/><BR/>"If I may suggest, sir. We can still receive Mr. Gaur and his party in the dining room if we confine Ms. Chass to the sitting room long enough. We can invite Lord Eisenhorn, as you recall, she has a weakness for telepathic gentlemen."<BR/><BR/>"Why she'll fawn all over him, never notice I'm gone!"<BR/><BR/>"Indeed, sir.
