>>97887595
Fuuuuck.
There goes the best 40k writer.
Damn.

>>97887595

So what's his deal? Was he a scat fetishist?

>>97887595

>>97890269
he will still be remembered for as long as 40k is remembered.

>Perhaps the strangest talisman – and one (or should one say many…?) which made those initiates feel themselves intimately a part of the Fists – was kept in a long crypt below the Reclusiam, reached by a dropshaft which would incinerate anyone who did not sport a Black Carapace beneath their skin.

>The adamantium floor down there was inscribed with a maze of tiny coloured channels that bootsteps would never be able to wear away – in a pattern suggestive of a cosmic map – and along all of those channels were spaced little indentations the depth of a Fist’s thumbprint, each recess named with a rune. At one end of this seemingly arcane map or game-board an enormous plascrystal bowl held thousands of what at first sight appeared to be bloodshot ochreous eyeballs.

>Each ball commemorated the initiation of a group of ex-cadets, throughout the aeons, each being a nugget of the liquid amber and blood drunk from Rogal Dorn’s own chalice by the Reclusiarch of whichever epoch, and defecated by him subsequently in this shape.

So yeah, maybe.

Where's his sticky?

>>97887703
So is this a fan project or an official comic?

big F
to me 40k will always be what he wrote

>>97887595
Fuck, RIP. His 40k books were legitimately really fucking good and underappreciated despite their few flaws. Newfags could never understand.

He was seemingly very influential on 40k in a lot of ways, which is somewhat surprising to me considering the reputation of his 40k books

>>97887595
F. He was a visionary mind, may he rest in peace.

It's my longstanding belief that Ian Watson was (can no longer say 'is', damn) the finest 40k writer of all of them.

Sure there are other greats out there too. But he got the fact that it wasn't supposed to be gothic-power-fantasy, so much as a thin layer of all that over the ultimate weirdness of human existence.
And unlike many of those other greats, he wasn't afraid to get weird about it when he wrote about it.

S
how does it feel you fuck? lying and stealer, you fucking stole peopels work and took it for your own you ass hole!! never forget it

the world is a fucking clam!

He's jerking off squat ghosts against their will in the Webway now

>>97897998
Do you have a point you're trying to make or is this just schizo rambling? I've never heard anything about Watson plagiarizing.

>>97897754
He also had, by far, the most unfuckingbelievably perfect depiction of The Emperor ever put into print and the entire Horus Heresy series is a travesty of disrespectful trash by comparison.

Watson felt like an Anglo attempting to write Italian postmodern fiction like Invisible Cities but in the framework of a licensed paperback
