Dan Abnett on Gaunt's Ghosts

[@cockroachcharlie5619]

Brin Milo got smart and realized plot armor was running low in this series so he got the hell out of there.

[@LordCHull]

If I ever become a director I want to make a Gaunt's Ghost tv series! It would be my dream project! and I miss Corbec (makes the sign of the aquilla)

[@phocjame]

"Kill...Larkin...and Dorden." Brilliant.

[@hedylamar1668]

Blood pact. Very clever the denouement. Did not know what was happening. I recently walked into my local WH shop dressed as a Commissar and they freaked out. Then I leave. The Tanith badge on my lapel. I asked them what the feth they were doing.

[@hedylamar1668]

I wear the Tanith badge with pride and honour. First and Only.

[@ShadowlessFist]

Dan Abnett is one of the coolest Writers around. Nuff Sed.

[@Ralndrath]

Can't believe I hadn't found these videos ages ago, It's awesome that you spare the time to do them Dan. It was the Ghosts who got me into writing way back and haven't stopped writing 40k ever since. Keep these up and looking forward to the next Ghosts book

[@ElysianFlame]

Omg that this exists...my absolute childhood hero in persona

[@magicswordz]

This man is bloody brilliant I regret missing my chance to meet him in person (twice)

[@Phobosinadamant]

Larkin forever! Great vid I'm a big fan of Abnett literature as a whole and The Ghosts in particular.

[@cringelord1809]

Dan Abnett is one of the best writers ever.

[@moorshound3243]

my mate is gonna paint the tanith coat of arms on the bonet of his landrover disco, should look sic as hell!!

[@5ryans]

9:30 let Dorden live? I like his poker face

[@UtopiaV1]

nope

[@VorAbaddon]

Question for Dan the Man: In this particular video in which I'm posting the question you mentioned the idea that if you bring in ships with orbital fire, it kills the infantry story. Has it been considered, or maybe has it occurred and I missed it, books on 40k Ship-to-Ship combat? I know your good friend William King has done some scenes and you did in Sabbat Martyr, but I think a focused book on that type of combat would be intriguing, to say the least.

[@DrmChsr0]

Abnett, you troll! Question: Can you please not kill Larkin and Dorden? Dan A: Okay. *Dan A types on the computer "Kill Larkin and Dorden"

[@UtopiaV1]

Honour Guard was my absolute favourite in the entire franchise. I'm surprised to hear it was written under such a strict deadline after losing the entire first draft! Still, great art is borne of great suffering.

[@pearsonm957]

Where the Hell is Ven? He was soooo badass

[@brol2026]

I love this

[@SpartanMikey]

Oh the irony of the closing (if joking) comment. Now I know why Dorden ended up dying where he did.

[@RenegadeOfSociety]

I want a Gaunt's Ghost cloak

[@atracin]

"THIS IS TANITH!!11!one!" I smiled.

[@xxxGamer4000xxx]

I was really heartbroken when Landerson was never seen again

[@AsianMirage]

My heart stopped when ya made the joke about Daur.

[@5ryans]

After the victory, there should be the end. I want Gaunt to make a last stand with his favourite characters

[@233Deadman]

Dmitri Ptrenko I dont want a last stand, I think they deserve to finally get what they fought for all this time, a New Tanith.

[@allways28]

one of the best books ive ever read was 'only in death' i was sure everyone was a gonner i really did !!! especially since i didnt know of blood pact at the time i thought this was the end and thats it!(what else would you expect from a life in the gaurd other than to die a horrible death?) the suspense was brilliant, the imagery of hinzerhaus was superbly translated to the reader. the return of sorric!! wow! all in all an amazing read i think ill pick back up! and oh roll on rav Vs eis!

[@adeliehigh]

Pretty sure the answers to lots of these questions will appear in the second part of the Gaunt's Ghosts interview. Watch this space.

[@Raglan1565]

Larkin ftw!!! I Miss Brag and Caff dammit

[@OsirisAtaraxis]

Amazing man! Sad Muril died:( and Bragg.

[@JEKAZOL]

Yeah, yeah, Gaunt n' crew - great... Bring back Ravenor! The man in the box is amazing.

[@JaconWes]

Awesome, Larkin's getting the spotlight in the next book.

[@HateMachine103190]

THIS... IS... TANITH!!!!!!!

[@dukeleto77]

I'm pretty sure there must be a one-handed version of the sign of the Aquila, people seem to make it easily enough when they are rushing about with their hands full...

[@Colluctor]

Damn I always wondered how you made the sign of the aquila.

[@Dyp100]

No idea what this is from, but anything from the Inquisition front?

[@JBurdoo]

How did people get to ask these questions?

[@RosieKR]

Bragg, Corbec & Caffran were all pretty tragic.. Primarily for HOW they died. None of them died charging into glorious combat and taking down Blood Pact warriors.

[@MajorRawne001]

@phocjame Why the feth would you want Larkin to die?

[@NagYdw]

The last answer with Dorden and Larkin was mean! :P

[@hanson666999]

Great author

[@KaraValmeyjar]

5:13 awww no nids? that would be a definite change of setting

[@florianpierredummont4233]

My only regret is that the Ghosts only fight Chaos (although it's good Chaos ennemies). I would have love to see Gaunt and his men fighting Nids, Taus and Necrons (Throne, that would be so epic...).

[@tobiaslesquid352]

I found Blood Pact to be interesting, in that it reminded me strongly of First and Only, but with a Gaunt who felt far more cynical.

[@marcusmoop]

mate your books are pure genius, im a huge war fan. i always thought warhammer stuff a bit geeky..young lads rolling dice etc.. until i read first and only... wow.. im four books in now. can i say that speilberg should make necropolis an opening movie for the gaunts ghost stories.. why oh why aint hollywood knocking on your door...

[@JesusProtects]

You mean warhammer fan? Or war fan? Is not the same

[@Redmag33]

i was so sad this Bragg and Muril goes in the death by lijah ashole cuu. I love warhammer40k books, i shop all in germen, then i am from germany, i am 20 :) i am the books so mouch i am happy then i can see the aquilla hands symbolic and i love the gott emperor

[@vivaladanisawsomes]

THIS IS TANITH!!!

[@Battleschnodder]

you're awesome

[@RADIOACTIVEBUNY]

God dammit. *throws book over shoulder*

[@haudragon]

It is so funny checking out this video and knowing that Dan had already made the decision to kill off Larking and Dorden :-) Just to damn rich lol!!!

[@gubbikiller]

haudragon to not kill off was what was said

[@tsimon1234]

@VorAbaddon If you read Warriors of Ultramar by Graham McNeill you will get a lot of ship-to-ship combat. :)

[@BatPierrot]

So, if sir Abnett had saved his Honor Guard file correctly, Lijaah Cuu would have remained in the limbs and some people would still be alive ?!!!

[@233Deadman]

BatPierrot not sure about the "alive" part, after all, the onyl writer more deadly to characters than Dan is Mr Martin

[@gubbikiller]

For a while longer maybe but at least they would have died fighting an enemy instead an ally

[@Zer0SumGame]

The funny thing is, he DID SPOILERS Kill Dorden.

[@RADIOACTIVEBUNY]

I nearly said "feth" in real life. Would've been so awkward -.-

[@Neakob]

@TH3GH05T5QUAD Arrrgggg my eyes and heras are burning with spoilers.......so...much....in pain...now...

[@Zekkandgrant13]

by "4 and a dog" you surely mean 4 and a dachsund named Collin, right?

[@BobbyMan21]

MAD LAKIN ALL THE WAY!!!

[@gubbikiller]

Spoiler alert for salvation reach Liar about dorden. You killed him off with merrt And cuu is the single most vile thing you have created beside captain Meryn But in all awesome stories that keeps me thinking

[@Dragaur17]

Larkin isn't dead though....

[@deepblue1846]

as of 2016 less than 1k tanith

[@TH3GH05T5QUAD]

I was sad when Bragg and corbec and caffran but please don't kill larks or brostin mister yellow won't be happy.

[@5ryans]

So ezra, Wilbur and Mkoll died. So sad

[@gubbikiller]

Dmitri Ptrenko well about mkoll nothing is sure as sure. On his blade was found. But ezrah i have a hope that something happens to some people for that.

[@phocjame]

@MajorRawne001 I don't - watch the video.

[@MrLimboTime]

good for another 5 years eh? good enough for me...

[@brol2026]

His last Dan abnett Ttenba (Temba) ,,thoughts too much of a reach

[@Shallowbay2287]

Where is the love for Mkvenner or Varl come on

[@brendantmcguire]

STOP WRITING SPOILERS IN THE FUCKING COMMENTS NOT EVERYONE HAS READ ALL OF THE BOOKS

[@Erik2372]

[@Sorrowblast]

Larks is gonna die, sure as sure ;)

[@sahari16]

[@laurinschwarz6287]
