message 1: by Calib (new)

Calib Aw, that's too bad. I really enjoyed it, from what I remember, but to be honest, I wanted to read it again for the lore about Blackguards. I enjoy writing myself (though obviously not in any legitimate form, and never published, nor to any fanfiction boards), and I wanted another look at the internal structure of their organization for a character I'm writing. Oh well. I just bought Bloodstorm, great so far! I've read many Warhammer books over the years, but there's something utterly fascinating about the Darkblade series. For me, I think it's because the protagonist isn't the typical fantasy hero, or even anti-hero. In any other story, from any other perspective, Malus would be the Big Bad villain.

It's easy to say, when writing small flavor text in an army manual that "these guys are evil, they torture and kill", but to take that concept and form a functioning society around it, and make it feel solid, old and full of customs unique to that society, is something else entirely, and thus far, I thoroughly enjoy reading it.

Harl Hi there. This is an old comment area but I'd just like to let you know that I was looking for the same story today, and i've managed to recover the whole short story. Feel free to message me if you'd like a copy as i can't link things here. :)
