Quotes by C.L. Werner (?)

“Revenge is my honour,’ the Iron Warrior growled, his words echoing from the marble walls. Rhodaan’s voice was an alchemy of pride and bitterness. After millennia of unending war, he knew the Legion’s thirst for revenge would never be quenched and so he was doomed to die without honour. The moment the Legion’s flesh-rippers had claimed him, he had become one of the damned. They had given him strength and power beyond anything a mere mortal could possess, but in return they had taken everything.”
― C.L. Werner, The Siege of Castellax

He's horrific, but like Matthias, he has substance and the role he plays in the story is not all he is. I'm finding him very interesting.

Matthias Thulmann got me through a rough time, you of all people need to know that. While I was reading the omnibus circa 2015/16, life sucked, and Matthias's story was a powerful escape.

Thank you so very much for the kind words and high praise. 'The Red Duke' was a particularly great novel to work on. He's one of the most horrific characetrs in the setting and it was nice to bring him back into some prominence again.

Thank you for becoming my friend. Ever since I read the Matthias Thulmann omnibus 10 years ago, you became a must buy author. If your name is on the cover of any Warhammer novel, I don't care what it's about, I have to have it.
You're the best at inserting horror, gore and gothic in a Warhammer setting (my favorite world) and that's the best kind of reads.
You're killing it with The Red Duke.
