Jason Davis Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 So I've been going through the Black Library page and there is a new Age of Sigmar novel listed for June -- http://www.blacklibrary.com/coming-soon/june/hallowed-knights-plague-garden-ebook.html Hints at Nurgle? I know we're already expecting this soon because of the rumor engine picture from a few weeks ago, but the novel seems to lend more credence to a June release. Heck, it's just exciting to have something new to read, seeing as we haven't had anything from Black Library since January... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menkeroth Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Would be not bad. But that's the thing with "not-codexes" writing - Lorrus Grymn, I've thought, was guarding Alarielle on her way, and it's Gardus Steelsoul who got lost, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippyRick Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Love the Nurgle Garden stuff so far, so more of this in the fluff would be great and then pushing into model/rule releases would be so cool. Fingers crossed its soon but i have a feeling its further off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardus got lost in Realmgate Wars: War Storm and returned in Realmgate Wars: Ghal Maraz. Grymn defended Alarielle in Realmgate Wars: Wardens of the Everqueen. Hallowed Knights: Plague Garden takes place after those, as the Hallowed Knights of the Steel Souls chamber make a final push against Nurgle's forces in Ghyran, in the wake of the Season of War campaign. It also catches readers up with some of the events depicted in the God-Beasts and All-Gates campaign books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's really strange - another Hallowed Knight got lost in the Nurgle's Garden? not mentioning that the whole plot is a bit Chaos undermining - a Stormcast managed to escape the Garden! And yet another Chamber is to venture there - it's the same as attacking Eye of Terror or Medrengard! Very strange. But high fantasy nevertheless. 57 minutes ago, JReynolds said: Hallowed Knights: Plague Garden takes place after those, as the Hallowed Knights of the Steel Souls chamber make a final push against Nurgle's forces in Ghyran, in the wake of the Season of War campaign.

PJetski Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I would be really impressed if AOS saw anything but lip service for the next 2 months. The new edition of 40k is probably going to be taking the spotlight for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Nurgle's Garden is big, and there are a lot of ways to get in...but fewer ways to get out. And it's the same chamber - the Steel Souls have been fighting Nurgle from the beginning, and this book brings them full circle, in a sense. It is the same as attacking the Eye of Terror, in a lot of ways, and it's no spoiler to say things really don't go well for them, in a variety of ways. Mostly, it was just an excuse to get to describe the Garden, and the things that dwell there. Also, I wanted to write more Gutrot Spume, so this was a good way to do that. And no, just a good many of them. With the closing of the Genesis Gate, Nurgle lacks the ability to flood Ghyran with troops. He still possesses some realmgates (as well as other forms of dimensional travel), but he's on the back-foot for the first time in a long time. As to your last point - no idea. I've been wanting them to do one, myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spume is full of character, as they say - great to know he's still ready and rarin'! 51 minutes ago, JReynolds said: And no, just a good many of them.

Fair point, although even he must have tens of thousands at least at his disposal - especially counting not that reliable, as it turned out, but still helpful clans Pestilense.

Fair point, although even he must have tens of thousands at least at his disposal - especially counting not that reliable, as it turned out, but still helpful clans Pestilense. He is pretty great. He's probably my favourite Chaos character, at the moment. I hope to write about him again, soon. And Nurgle does, but compared to the tens of millions he had, it's not much. The battles for the Scabrous Sprawl and the Genesis Gate saw much of Nurgle's infrastructure in Ghyran destroyed, or otherwise reduced - the Glottkin were humbled, one of the Maggoth Lords was killed, etc. There still exist Nurgle holdings of one sort or another, but their reach has been reduced. And as the Sylvaneth and the forces of Azyr consolidate their gains, those holdings become ever more isolated and vulnerable - but still deadly. Think of it like a disease going into remission - its still there, but its quiescent, for the moment. Plague Garden actually focuses on one of these last holdings, initially. The Order of Fly, a former chivalric order, now devoted to Nurgle, are fighting a rearguard action to defend their last holdings in that part of Ghyran, before things go very wrong for all concerned.

Menkeroth Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Point taken. Good luck then, I will gladly read your story when you finish it - I like your style. And if the Dark Gods, I mean, GW, hear us, then Nurgle comes out soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killax Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 You know, there is that date this year... 07-07-2017 will be an important day for Nurgle (wink). So I don't expect too much in June but a big day early July Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popisdead Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I would think it is more a continuation of the story of Nurgle rampaging about. They are a favoured child of GW. In the past there have been too many instances where a book didn't coincide with an army release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
