Fantastic work, I'd just like to say than...Hey Dan! Fantastic work, I'd just like to say thank you for entertaining me with the Gaunt's Ghosts novels over the past three years or so! You have inspired me the most out of all the authors for writing my own books! I try to follow the way you get such rabid and chaotic action in the battle scenes, which get the reader right into the action. <br />I would like to ask though, how might I go about getting an agent at my age? (I'm only 15 somewhat incredibly) I almost got my books published before but I went with a dodgy publisher who didn't require agents you see, and they required £9000! Despite this, many have told me my novels are good enough to get published-yet as I say, I have no clue how to go about getting an agent. Do you have to pay them from the off and how do you go about getting one?<br />Thanks, <br />One of your biggest fans (who is tortured by the fact you may currently have killed Gaunt off in Only in Death),<br />Alex Critchley. <br /><br />P.S. Feel free to visit the site my uncle set up for me, you can check out my first two books. The grammar and such may be a bit messed up but it's the storytelling that's my skill really, and I can't get them edited proffesionally. <br />www.ortana.net<br /><br />ThanksCritchleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03909326157127059108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16623482.post-59387964508172231362009-02-19T17:17:00.000+00:002009-02-19T17:17:00.000+00:00Okay, I'm not going to freak too much until I have...Okay, I'm not going to freak too much until I have the actual codex in hand, but I just saw a certain Imperial Guard preview pdf file leaked from French GW, and it does not show our favorite Colonel Commissar in the codex.

I have been waiting 20 years,to see the Heresy fleshed out and i know we will get there in the end!"<BR/><BR/>hear hear!<BR/><BR/>I've never known that much intricate detail about the Blood Angels, so can't comment. I know the red thirst is connected with Sanguinius' death, which was definitely by Horus' hand. Come to think of it, has anyone else read the original final battle of Horus vs the Emperor from the Realm of Chaos books? that was a good enough piece that it wouldn't seem dated today.<BR/><BR/>On another topic, but one connected with previous chatterings, since we've now placed the various accents of 40K cultures, how would y'all place or describe their a: sense of humour and b: taste in music?<BR/><BR/>to start things off:<BR/><BR/>Mechanicus: minimalistic and dry sense of humour. From what I got from Titanicus, they'd probably enjoy 'Yes Minister'. But at best they'd smile wryly while nobody was looking. Jack Dee would also be a possibility.<BR/>Musically, Kraftwerk is the long and the short of it. Probably the kind of music where nobody dances at the gigs. Or smiles.<BR/><BR/>And I'm just certain Space Wolves would have a very Russian sense of humour. No-frills black humour, like Kislevites.<BR/><BR/>Opinions?Roderick Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00652742747542028901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16623482.post-54583967875378066872009-01-22T14:33:00.000+00:002009-01-22T14:33:00.000+00:00i know that story, Sanguinius was beaten by a Bloo...i know that story, Sanguinius was beaten by a Blood Thirster infront of majority of the legion, they lost a great number of men<BR/><BR/>then Sanquinius beat the same Blood Thirster at palace gate by breaking its back<BR/><BR/>yeah they say that the defeat contributed to the black rage as much as Sanguinius's death<BR/><BR/>that would be a brilliant Heresy book!the-seventh-sonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12889343967649672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16623482.post-90209695494879850082009-01-21T15:13:00.000+00:002009-01-21T15:13:00.000+00:00Of course it is! haha but glad u know the story .....Of course it is! haha but glad u know the story ..which would be good to read anyhowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16623482.post-61768963336809703962009-01-20T23:51:00.000+00:002009-01-20T23:51:00.000+00:00Ah, yes, I remember this story.
