Hi Mark!

There are loads of ideas that the weird nature of the Warp, a realm where time and space don't exist, make possible. It should be *possible* to travel to distant galaxies through the Warp. It should be *possible* (and we've seen quite often in Black Library fiction that it is) to travel back and forth in time. The idea then, for a short little story like this one, was to use that kind of scenario to ask the question of what Ferrus Manus would make of his descendants in the 41st Millennium. Nick Kyme and Chris Wraight have both looked at that before, but in different ways. The ship and the Space Marine then aren't terribly important then, except for what they represent to the Iron Tenth.

And the Iron Hands are my favourite Legion too, Mark. You've chosen well.(less)

I can't guarantee that it would be successful, or even tell you where at GW to send such a thing. But reminding people, respectfully, that there is a desire out there for Iron Hands stories can surely be no bad thing.(less)

Dwarf Gouger

While clearing out my drawers in preparation for leaving my day job for the final time (see last month's blog), I found something a little unexpected in amongst the usual junk. It was a commissioning form for a short story that I never actually wrote on account of being sorely pressed for time to deliver Thorgrim (Historical Note – this was itself originally meant to be a full-length novel).

“Secrecy is our shield. It is how we defend lesser men from themselves.”
David Guymer, Lion El'Jonson: Lord of the First

“He ground his teeth and pushed hard. His muscles screamed from the effort. But where he pushed, the legions of the Damned pushed with him. They were innumerable, thousands upon thousands. There were farmers, fishwives, merchants and priests. And there were warriors. Felix saw the outline of armour and axes, Magnus's army, the shades of those that had once battled Chaos and would now battle it once more at Felix's side.”
David Guymer, City of the Damned

“Some men demand such pomp. They cannot accept the end of one era and the commencement of another without an occasion by which to mark it and give it meaning. Laurels must be given, honours and fair titles invented so that they may be bestowed upon favoured generals. Some men need recognition.' The shadows around the Emperor's throne deepened. But beneath the layers of obfuscation, deep within the myriad guises of that singularly unfathomable being, the Lion felt the Emperor behold His firstborn son.
'Some men,' the Emperor continued, 'do not.”
David Guymer, Lion El'Jonson: Lord of the First
