I think they both missed Bragg's quiet cunning that is revealed during the convoy mission. Gaunt put him in charge just because everyone thought he is a dumbass. But during the mission it's reveal that he is quite smart and able to figure out who was the traitor and being ready to respond to any attack from him. He just hides his quiet intelligence because it's easier.
This series is great, if for no other reason because I am a super horror gal so it's great seeing some normal people's opinions on the things I binge on regularly.
Re "stealth bagpipes". There was an old snippet in a white dwarf (can't remember more specifically I'm afraid), with a bunch of space wolf scout model's and a sergeant or something. The models were all posed brandishing their weapons over their heads. The image was captioned "but brother Ragnar, don't you think someone will hear us?"...
Yeah, these were in Inferno!, which was a warhammer fiction anthology that went for around 47 issues I think. I think they took reader submissions back then. It also had comics that wound up later in warhammer monthly.
I'm loving the "Gaunts Goats" premise. Not only does Gaunt get seconded to a regiment of unpopular Beastmen but he gets assigned Cain and Jurgen to help him.
Fantasy Flight's Imperial Guard RPG "Only War" had a great part of every mission where you have to roll and see if you got all your requisitioned gear or not. There was a super fun table for random crap that you didn't want/need and then having to try to pawn it off on other squads. A 01 roll (on d100) was a crate of Ogryn Sized marching band uniforms if I recall right...
One thing I like about the Ghosts series is seeing Dan spread his wings. When I read the first story in the old Inferno anthology in the late 90s.(where the stories from this book were first published), I found it enjoyable, but all the characters felt a bit trope-y. Mind, it was Dan's first published prose work, and I think he and GW's prose department needed to find their identity. It's endlessly fascinating to see how he put relationships on their heads and developed (or ahem, gets rid of) cliched characters in the course of the following novels....
I did a breakdown video of this book a little while ago, I loved the little snapshots that show each characters skills, but I was also quite annoyed that not all those characters got to feature in the finale battle on Monthax, and Dorden isn't even mentioned at the end! It is still one of my favourites, along with the other 15 books, all my favourites. The one thing I'd really like (And I've said this before) is a second Ghostmaker for the Verghast characters. And don't worry, these are the main characters, they never die...
I was huge fan of Sharpe before reading this, and I love how Dan basically took inspiration and made his own WH40k take on it with such memorable characters and plots. Big fan!
Most (all) the short stories were written for inferno magazine with no idea if he'd ever get another. From what i remember your idea on Necropolis is backwards. By the time necropolis came around it was clear he was on to something and had to find a way to add some more bodies since he'd already killed so many of them in the shorts.
I remember a paperback with some of the short stories that ended up in "Ghostmaker" being included for free with an old White Dwarf issue, I think it was issue 251 but I am not completely sure
“I was told there would be planet soup. I don’t know what that is, but I brought my own bowl. Permission to come aboard.” One exterminates later “Wait… that’s what you meant!?”
They do a 'poor-man's exterminates' from orbit and I cheer. Then next book I'm like, "damn it would be nice if they had some orbital support here," when there is a 5 million+ enemy forces sitting around in a grass field.
Got to love how its taken so long for Dan to do something with Milo that hes started the prequel series to adapt it. I assume the idea of the Milo magic has changed completely and now its welsh kungfu magic which i love - Vincula was awesome and present tense was a great change of pace for Black Library along with The End and The Death
I can't believe the amount of mistakes I made that @ArbitorIan left in... 🙊 (Gaunts, I mean ghosts / Superman, did I say spiderman?!) Also.. language Timothy!!
I loved the first Gaunt's Ghost Ominbus - unfortunately I'm now stuck because I can't find any copies of the rest of them. I really wish GW would do a better job keeping books in print.
Commenting here because it’s the newest video-haven’t seen this one. Your lore videos are so good! Very succinct and easy to follow. I’ve been using them to introduce some newbies into the game because your videos have so much information summarized so well. I’ve also learned a ton, thanks!!
Mira looks amazing this episode, not to be too too crude. (Ian is always his handsome self) This is such a delightful series, thanks for continuing it.
I have a huge night lords army because of their omnibus, I think that you guys should definitely read at least the first one because whilst its gory and messy and unpleasant, there are somehow some of the most entertaining and interesting 40k characters to read within the series. Plus getting to read one of Aaron Dembski-Bowden's first books is a massive treat. I'd love to hear Mira's opinions on the whole cast.
The Night Lords are amazong indeed. For years I thought Evil Marines with Lightnings Painted On Their Armour were tacky, and along came ADB and worked his magic. As for horror 40k - I think I should mention Only In Death from the Ghosts series which is a nice horror piece. I like it when 40k leans into horror because they often go for the gothic and spooky instead of the splattery (the war stories have that anway). Some others I enjoyed were The Colonel's Monograph by Graham McNeil (quite gothic) and Dark Harvest by Josh Reynolds (for an AoS horror novel).
Waitwaitwaitwait! Mira ranks Lucius as her top 3 bastard scale?! That... that can only mean she's a sweet, pure summer child who hasn't met the true bastards yet... Fabius Bile, anyone. Vekt, or in fact, anyone in the Dark Eldar society? Homonculi in particular. Luther? LORGAR?! And that's just the top of my head. Seeing Helldane's downfall from Isenhorn era to Gaunt's Ghosts' is one hell of a bastard slide as well.
Entertaining as always. I recently read the 'Watchers of the Throne' books 'The Emperor's Legion' and 'The Regent's Shadow' by Chris Wraight which were a bit different given they're mainly set on Terra and the first 40K novels to feature the Custodes I think.
I'm working my way through the various omnibus's at present. Re read the first novels I bought, almost finished 'The Lost'. Glad he killed off a certain Ghost in a previous novel.
Every Monday to Friday for fifteen years I sat down with my mother and my sister in our living room to eat supper while we watched the 6 o'clock news followed by M*A*S*H. Granted this was the 1980s. Still, lots of good memories stirred up by that reference.
I think Cain would think about Fucking off but then imagine a story of that getting out and would then stay. however Cain would bring Jurgen and him being a blank would make you all feel uneasy the entire night.
I would really love to see you cover Death or Glory by Sandy Mitchell. It's a Cain book so it'll be a nice palate cleanser after doing spooky stuff, and it's genuinely a very good, very fun adventure story with a lot of cool fun characters. It's the best Cain book and therefore the best Black Library book
@@HistoritorJimaldus it's Cain, you can jump around. There's only like 3 books where continuity really matters and Death or Glory is the first one of those three. (Death of Glory, Duty Calls and Cain's Last Stand) and even then the connection with duty calls is kind of tenuous Technically, if you're going chronologically, it's the first novel, and only a couple short stories come before it
Brilliant video guys, love the ghosts 😊 night lord trilogy definitely worth a read, I really enjoyed it, keep up the good work. Mcoll and Larkin are my two favorite ghosts 😊
I think you guys would have fun with "Deathwing" the oldest 40k book from a time before canon. The 'weird alien'-nes of Mkoll's story very much reminded me of the older stories. I'd love to hear Ian's take on how the book does and doesn't fit with the 40k we have today.
Please someone donate them to read - The fire cast by Petere Fehervary - its absolutely beautiful novel, one of the best what was written about Warhammer. Maybe its so iconic as books written by Ien Watson. And idea for the next - Ien Watson books and something about Night lords. For example Simon Spuriel's Night Lord or the primarh series - Curz !
Technically, The Emperor is basically an accidental Lich-God and the Golden Throne is his phylactery considering how he needs wizard souls sacrificed to him DAILY. Kinda reminds me of the Aztec daily sacrifice for their Sun God (yet another comparison to an old religion IRL). P.S. Also, I like how we got a *rainbow coded* "Priesthood of Terra" I mean, you got the... •RED - Tech Priests, Adeptus Mechanicus •YELLOW (with RED sash) - The Chosen, Adeptus Astronomica •GREEN, Acolytes & Adepts, Adeptus Astra Telepathica •BLUE - Adepts, Adeptus Astronomica •BROWN/BLACK - Adepts, Adeptus Administratum Topical for Pride Month too even though it's July lol. The Imperium is inclusive of who they soul-sacrifice to the corpse of the half-dead Immortal God-Emperor of Mankind! We're ALL Human after all, Right? 😄👉🏽👉🏽 🏳️🌈✊🏽💀
Yeah Drachenfels is a good choice! I like how it subverts the "D&D adventuring party" concept into something pretty grim. To be honest, I would have liked to see Yeovil do more novels about washed-out playwright Detlef Sierck than a series about Genevieve. But that's just me I guess.
Apropos of nothing, here's my fan casting of the ghosts. Gaunt: My choice is Daniel Craig. Plays serious well, has the gravitas. Corbec: Liam Neeson Rawne: Benedict Cumberbatch. Sharp features and black hair. Kolea: Nic Nolte. I just picture Kolea as looking like the most haggard man to ever exist. Mkoll: Keanu Re...*cough* actually I'd pick a young Ed Harris. Bragg: Vincent D'onofrio. A large man who I know can act the part as well as being enormous. Larkin: Gary Busey. We need the skittishness, but also the melancholy as well Cuu: Ryan Reynolds. Who has somewhere between the face that you want to fall in love with and the face you want to punch in equal measure. Milo: Daniel Radcliffe. Mostly based on his build, I don't picture him as a physical match for the rest, although for some reason all the ghosts are tall, Abnett's description of Gaunt at two meters and 20 cm would put him at 7'2" feet. Caffran: A young Jason Statham Tona Criid: Alecia Beth Moore Heart. Mkvenner: Adam Driver I think Abnett's done more work for 40k than anyone, and he certainly writes humanity the best out of any of the other black library authors.
@@sleepingbee8997 Oooof. Yeah. Milo might implode. And Jurgen would be a little confused. And the Ghosts would overreact. And then Inquisitor Amberly would step in... Hang on, gotta go write some fanfic.
Always thought Big Dave would be better as Kolea. Bautista plays a much better, richer character than he often gets credit for, he'd be awesome for the quiet strength, charisma and torment Kolea has.
To each their own, but I absolutely love "Fulgrim" from the Horus Heresy, it's one of my favorite books in the series! What I absolutely hated was the short story "The Reflection Crack'd" in the Primarchs Anthology since it completely destroyed the possession aspect and the prospect for a redemption arc.
Some details on the ice planet I found thermally dubious. Blood freezing on the surface of a wound? Sorry, you've already frozen to death, mate. If the surface of your skin is cold enough for ice to form the flesh underneath is not able to do the complicated functions required of flesh. I think Sr. Abnett was thinking of hoarfrost on a beard, which happens because of the gap of air between your skin and the tip of your beard hair.
I agree with Mira, Ghostmaker is probably the best of the 3. Necropolis is overrated but the praise is well earned. First and Only is forgettable to be honest.
gaunt's goats be like:
"BEASTS OF TANITH, DO YOU WANT TO BLEAT FOREVER!?"
I think they both missed Bragg's quiet cunning that is revealed during the convoy mission. Gaunt put him in charge just because everyone thought he is a dumbass. But during the mission it's reveal that he is quite smart and able to figure out who was the traitor and being ready to respond to any attack from him. He just hides his quiet intelligence because it's easier.
This series is great, if for no other reason because I am a super horror gal so it's great seeing some normal people's opinions on the things I binge on regularly.
Loving the Bastard Scale, great addition to the series
Essential for when we get to Lijah Cuu
@@PlasticusForkus use his full name!
@@HistoritorJimaldus yes, the law states you MUST include the word Fething in the middle of that bastard's name...
Bastard!
lijah "fething" cuu!
Sure as sure, the bastard scale needs to account for lijah fething cuu!
Re "stealth bagpipes". There was an old snippet in a white dwarf (can't remember more specifically I'm afraid), with a bunch of space wolf scout model's and a sergeant or something. The models were all posed brandishing their weapons over their heads. The image was captioned "but brother Ragnar, don't you think someone will hear us?"...
Sgt Mkoll is like the oldest guy in the SAS, but much sneakier
So very sneaky
giving semtex to skinheads in Ulster?
Yeah, these were in Inferno!, which was a warhammer fiction anthology that went for around 47 issues I think. I think they took reader submissions back then. It also had comics that wound up later in warhammer monthly.

Thank you for another book reading podcast episode!
Brag could walk up to Shaq palm his face and remove him from life…brag is HUMUNGOUS
The Night Lords books are amazing! Despite being horrific

It's endlessly fascinating to see how he put relationships on their heads and developed (or ahem, gets rid of) cliched characters in the course of the following novels....
The Will Scarlet that Mira couldn’t remember was Ray Winstone. Speaker of such lines as “which is your favourite ear, your left ear or your right”
God bless you Neil!
he played Will Scarlet in the "Robin of Sherwood" BBC series from the 1980's, if I remember correctly
I did a breakdown video of this book a little while ago, I loved the little snapshots that show each characters skills, but I was also quite annoyed that not all those characters got to feature in the finale battle on Monthax, and Dorden isn't even mentioned at the end!
It is still one of my favourites, along with the other 15 books, all my favourites.

Loving the series! But I need to rewatch the Dan Abnet interview intro again for that sweet sweet song!
I was huge fan of Sharpe before reading this, and I love how Dan basically took inspiration and made his own WH40k take on it with such memorable characters and plots. Big fan!
Mira and Ian make the cosiest grim-dark content.

There's another T-shirt for you 😂 "If an Inquisitor ever asks if you're magic, just show them the trick" 🤭😆
“I was told there would be planet soup. I don’t know what that is, but I brought my own bowl. Permission to come aboard.”
One exterminates later
“Wait… that’s what you meant!?”
They do a 'poor-man's exterminates' from orbit and I cheer. Then next book I'm like, "damn it would be nice if they had some orbital support here," when there is a 5 million+ enemy forces sitting around in a grass field.
Great dynamic due! Love revisiting these stories through both of your experiences with them… bring on the Bastard Scale!
Got to love how its taken so long for Dan to do something with Milo that hes started the prequel series to adapt it. I assume the idea of the Milo magic has changed completely and now its welsh kungfu magic which i love - Vincula was awesome and present tense was a great change of pace for Black Library along with The End and The Death

I got mine off eBay and Amazon. The audiobook versions are AMAZING
try the audiobooks. Toby Longworth is the GOOOOOOATTTTT
Lord, watching Mira experience some of the upcoming stuff is going to be quite something
Commenting here because it’s the newest video-haven’t seen this one.
Your lore videos are so good! Very succinct and easy to follow. I’ve been using them to introduce some newbies into the game because your videos have so much information summarized so well. I’ve also learned a ton, thanks!!
I think we need a bastard retrospective video, rating characters from all books featured so far on the bastard scale.
Mira: "You could be a zaddy Ian"
Me: *Nods vigorously*
Love Bragg! Never want anything bad to happen to Bragg!
Rachel Harrington’s “Honourbound” is excellent
Erebus is in a league of bastardry all his own, he goes up to like,11.
This bastard goes to… 11 😅

Who doesn't love Talos Valcoran?
Great book thoroughly enjoyed it. Read it twice since you introduced me to black library. Favourite chapter is Mkoll taking out the Choas Dreadnaught.
I have never heard Milo's first name pronounced "Bryan" I've always heard it said as it is written, Brin.
can't wait til you get to arc two, loving this so far

Dan Abnett really did a job on me, there were certain names you mentioned that brought genuine pangs of sadness. Poor fethers.
Try again?
Actually yeah, just realised we never learn Bragg’s first name!! 😮 36:20
Perhaps his mum actually did name him Try Again. She must REALLY have wanted that daughter!
Honour Guard is next :)
We've got Necropolis first!
@@ArbitorIan oh yeah, next to read I mean, since we know you’ve both already read necropolis because Mira already did the interview with Dan on it :)
I love how delighted you two are to be talking about this stuff
Love love Love Gaunt's ghosts. All of them.
👻 my vote!
👻 My favorite of the three. I really enjoyed the character growth
I'm working my way through the various omnibus's at present. Re read the first novels I bought, almost finished 'The Lost'. Glad he killed off a certain Ghost in a previous novel.
Got the bets written down, will be back in 16 books.
Literally just finished sabat martyr 30 minutes ago. Series gets so much better starting with book 3
Loved this. Thanks !
Any chance of getting a video about inferno? I've still got issues one and two but never had / read anything from any others.
Every Monday to Friday for fifteen years I sat down with my mother and my sister in our living room to eat supper while we watched the 6 o'clock news followed by M*A*S*H. Granted this was the 1980s. Still, lots of good memories stirred up by that reference.

Great watch. Keep it up!
I think Cain would think about Fucking off but then imagine a story of that getting out and would then stay. however Cain would bring Jurgen and him being a blank would make you all feel uneasy the entire night.
You guys need to do Gotrek and Felix...
Definitely my fave of the first 3! Love these videos
That's Necropolis for me. The scope, the characters, the balance between the micro and makro, it's amazing!
Larkin to me was always Hagman from the Sharpe series
So Mkoll is basically Liam Neesen in Taken? 😂.. very apt comparison
Can't wait for Mira to find about Lijah fething Cuu
Sure as sure
I would really love to see you cover Death or Glory by Sandy Mitchell. It's a Cain book so it'll be a nice palate cleanser after doing spooky stuff, and it's genuinely a very good, very fun adventure story with a lot of cool fun characters.
It's the best Cain book and therefore the best Black Library book
They have to do the second Cain book the next time they do Cain, it’s Caves of Ice I think
Yes and Yes and Fuck Yeah yes!!!!
Though Death and Glory is BLOODY GOOD!
@@HistoritorJimaldus it's Cain, you can jump around. There's only like 3 books where continuity really matters and Death or Glory is the first one of those three. (Death of Glory, Duty Calls and Cain's Last Stand) and even then the connection with duty calls is kind of tenuous

We're ALL Human after all, Right?
😄👉🏽👉🏽
🏳️🌈✊🏽💀
Love this series!
"No one wants Chaos in your Webway."
Naughty, naughty, Ian!
Drachenfels!
Yeah Drachenfels is a good choice! I like how it subverts the "D&D adventuring party" concept into something pretty grim. To be honest, I would have liked to see Yeovil do more novels about washed-out playwright Detlef Sierck than a series about Genevieve. But that's just me I guess.
Apropos of nothing, here's my fan casting of the ghosts.
Gaunt: My choice is Daniel Craig. Plays serious well, has the gravitas.
Corbec: Liam Neeson
Rawne: Benedict Cumberbatch. Sharp features and black hair.
Kolea: Nic Nolte. I just picture Kolea as looking like the most haggard man to ever exist.
Mkoll: Keanu Re...*cough* actually I'd pick a young Ed Harris.
Bragg: Vincent D'onofrio. A large man who I know can act the part as well as being enormous.
Larkin: Gary Busey. We need the skittishness, but also the melancholy as well
Cuu: Ryan Reynolds. Who has somewhere between the face that you want to fall in love with and the face you want to punch in equal measure.
Milo: Daniel Radcliffe. Mostly based on his build, I don't picture him as a physical match for the rest, although for some reason all the ghosts are tall, Abnett's description of Gaunt at two meters and 20 cm would put him at 7'2" feet.
Caffran: A young Jason Statham
Tona Criid: Alecia Beth Moore Heart.
Mkvenner: Adam Driver
I think Abnett's done more work for 40k than anyone, and he certainly writes humanity the best out of any of the other black library authors.
Reading Gaunt X Rawne fanfic will get Mira ready to read "Fulgrim"...
Best aide? Jurgen or Milo?
TEAM JURGEN!
Definitely Jurgen
Haha, I was just thinking that it'd be great if Milo and Jurgen met, and then remembered that.... Maybe it's best if they don't.
@@sleepingbee8997 Oooof. Yeah. Milo might implode. And Jurgen would be a little confused. And the Ghosts would overreact. And then Inquisitor Amberly would step in...
Hang on, gotta go write some fanfic.
Miloooooo
My favorite book club!
*into a dictaphone* Orks on Ice, check the IP availability
I find it quite funny you reference MASH regarding Dorden but don't notice the parallels with Milo and Radar
Also Brag would have to be played by Dave Bautista 😊
Always thought Big Dave would be better as Kolea. Bautista plays a much better, richer character than he often gets credit for, he'd be awesome for the quiet strength, charisma and torment Kolea has.
To each their own, but I absolutely love "Fulgrim" from the Horus Heresy, it's one of my favorite books in the series! What I absolutely hated was the short story "The Reflection Crack'd" in the Primarchs Anthology since it completely destroyed the possession aspect and the prospect for a redemption arc.
Hi Ian & Mira!
Have you considered doing "The Emperor's Gift"?
It follows on from Ravenor & Inquisitor Lillith. :D
I hope you will one day read The Infinite and the Divine... I am in the middle of the book right now and I absolutely love it! :)
They have: th-cam.com/video/qlic_Q_LC-0/w-d-xo.html
Your wish is our command!! th-cam.com/video/qlic_Q_LC-0/w-d-xo.html
We've done that one! We even interviewed Rob Rath! It's somewhere in the book club playlist
Pausing at 33 min to guess the three favorties: Rawne, Milo and Larkin.
The Hospital set story comes across like an episode of M*A*S*H to me...
I want to read the 40k origins of goats!
Is that a space station from EVE Online behind on the wall?!
👻
Wait, I'm sorry, the elf land that the elves go off to is called the gray Havens?
Didn’t anyone else get the Ogryn vibe from Bragg, like maybe he’s a Half-Ogryn.
Some details on the ice planet I found thermally dubious. Blood freezing on the surface of a wound? Sorry, you've already frozen to death, mate. If the surface of your skin is cold enough for ice to form the flesh underneath is not able to do the complicated functions required of flesh.

I agree with Mira, Ghostmaker is probably the best of the 3. Necropolis is overrated but the praise is well earned. First and Only is forgettable to be honest.
I remember first and only really well, maybe because it was the first 40K book I read, but the spy story was right up my alley
Has the next book been decided yet?
Gothgul Hollow, but there will be a video for Necropolis soon, and they’re also reading Honour Guard and Fulgrim
Fulgrim definitely a 10 on the bastard level in my book
I have just one comment, "Say hello to Mister Yellow."
Gaunt's GOATS!!!!!!!!!!😮😂😊
a good warhammer 40k book by a female authors is Honourbound by Rachel Harrison.
Yes definitely. Honourbound is a great book. Would love for Ian & Mira to interview Rachel Harrison.
