I want to see a story where a deathwatch kill team is sent to a world where the lamenters are fighting the tyranids. As their ship lands, Chyron rushing out screaming that he will avenge his bros, and then stops when he sees a lamenter standing before him. The lamenter salutes him as Chyron begins to feel joy, crying out that his brothers still live, before then charging into the fray. Feel like Chyron needs to know his brothers are alive.

[@robertnelson9599]

Chyron and Bjorn are the saddest dreadnoughts.

[@KappaKiller108]

It seems stupidly pointless, almost unbelievably improbable, that their continued existence is kept hidden from him. Like the DeathWatch has a rolling roster, taking in Marines from hundreds of other chapters over hundreds of years. And not once, did any of those Marines mention the Lamenters to him, who they would all know are still active and have a notable reputation throughout the Astartes as a whole

Only just twigged this author has written some of the best reviewed fantasy books around. I need to get on this

[@foreverfornever1124]

One direction I do like the GW is heading into is highlighting more of the successor chapters as of the last 2 edtions. Its a direction I think I would favor GW long term, keeping things fresh with new faces and major lore for these chapters that have risen out of their parent chapters. Especially those chapters that still see the reprecussions of the HH like the Salamanders and Raven Guard. Hell Black Templars even got a whole range to themselves that I hope can continue in the future with other unique chapters

[@catcadev]

It's very cool that the Executioners and now Lamenters are coming back! That is a very cool way to bring these older chapters back

[@arathdejesusescobarromero4904]

[@emersonsullivan9768]

I feel like these books, many about Chapters that fought in the Badab War, is hinting towards a return to Badab. A looming confrontation with the Luft Huron for Badab War 2. Afterall, they're are rumors of a new Huron model

There aren't many chapters that wear yellow so it's nice to see one have some really cool lore and an interesting story. I can't really think of another one, maybe blood angels in the bantax crusade away kit, but do they really count as a yellow chapter?

If they did do a sanguinus returned story, it should really be with the lamenters and not blood angels. The lamenters really believe in the dream like he did

This is awesome lamenters are my favorite space marine chapter. I don’t fight for the false emperor but if I did it would be these guys.

Yo Valrak! I've got some fun Imperial Fists related news for you: I KNOW WHO THEIR CHAPTER MASTER IS AND WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE! A throwaway art piece in the 5th edition Space Marines codex actually shows him! He apparently dual wields relic thunder hammers, which kicks ass.

thanks valrak, i love the lamenters. this story is such a lamenters story. i dont think the MC died, more likely layed to rest some, until his brothers find him. if not... then *lamenting the lamenter*

[@winningjubbly9712]

Richard Swan is an amazing author. If you like this short fiction, and you like the Eisenhorn books you REALLY need to check out his Empire of the Wolf trilogy. The first book is called The Justice of Kings and the author said one of his biggest sources of inspiration for his main character, Sir Konrad Vonvalt, was Eisenhorn. Konrad Vonvalt is an Emperor's Justice, who is a Detective, Judge and Executioner all in one, and as chaos threatens to engulf the empire "these are dangerous times to be a Justice" It's not Warhammer, but don't let that put you off because his books are stunningly good, like the Eisenhorn books are.

[@mmarshall404]

Wait did Bobby G-man give the lamenters primaris whole on a penance crusade? Would have liked to see how that went down with the various groups responsible for the crusade in the first place
