Sad to hear news of the passing of Ian WatsonAlongside his more general work in sci-fi, Ian wrote some of the earliest Warhammer 40,000 books, before Black Library was even a thing, such as the Inquisition War trilogy and Space Marine. He had a captivatingly scatalogical take on the setting.F

>>97890240>>97890240>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.
