Since the temple was a front for the Genestealer Cult, my interpretation was that the nail clippings were actually from the Patriarch. Similar to how their play had the Emperor transform into a Genestealer.

i think its kinda cool body horror stuff. puts the “grim” in grimdark. the idea of being paralyzed while you are transformed into some parody of a despicable monster. gives you goosebumps.
Hahahaha!!! I didn't realize until mid story that I smelled "Draco"... I gotta keep up with my authors... Ian is somewhat creepy... like being in an elevator with a weird stranger that won't stop talking to you.

fully admit it when I heard guy Haley I wasn't shure if i remember that namebut when I heard the name malindi i ran from this video as fast as i could, il leave a like for your troubles but I'm not brave enough to delve into it good job/luck to everyone else.
Brilliant story. Her hatred at what had been done to her powered her through and demonstrates why these assassins are such a beautiful tool to deliver the Emperor's vengeance and wrath.
Man..., Dude..! I really enjoy your efforts. These stories read by yourself have been such a boost, they’ve re-sparked a dormant interest in the “Dark future”. It is hard to come by here in the States, I’m just a humble “Yank” remembering Warhammer40k of my memory of its dawn (the 80s)....😳. The “net” is so cool... Cheers 🍻
This was in one of the very first 40k books, I loved that they had pure fluff on sale. A whole new element to the hobby, even after I. stopped playing always kept reading..
Wow. An Ian Watson story. I remember being so excited that GW was starting to produce novels when Inquisitor came out. And then Harlequin. Yeah I didn't read Chaos Child.
I love the way the Genestealer Cult Limosine was referenced - it appeared in an old White Dwarf, if you look on Rouge Trader era reddit and the like or pinterest more so you'll see it - a Cult Army or THE first (Oldhammer) Cult Army, it was wicked man.. Chaos worshiping (?) Imperial Guard and Beastmen, Purestrains, a Magus, "Old Four Arms" himself and lots of different generations of hybrid then this huge hand made Limo. Lovely work.
Author of the screen for Steven's Abominable Intelligence. Can we get the whole Inquisition Wars trilogy? Edit: man, it really ISN'T a very good thing. Decius had it spot on
Líke that the Emperors finger naíls continue to grow... So being a perpetual could that be him regenerating? And the priests stop it time n agaín for cash, lol, that's perfect irony.
I just finished listening and I've got to say that people in this community are either really young or really prudish. Aside from some body horror that wasn't really messed up at all. Is it just because the protagonist is a woman? I'll never understand people who freak out whenever anything involving a woman happens that's more real than cutsey anime magic girl shit. This is a fucked up universe and if this had been a man shapeshifting nobody would be batting an eye.
Check out the book review a̶f̶u̶s̶a̶ b̶r̶u̶v̶s̶a̶a̶v̶a̶d̶n̶a̶ Bruva Alfabusa did on Ian Watson's book "Inquisitor Draco", which sounds like half 40k and half furry/?scaley? fiction and goes into unnecessary details concerning Malindis "supple" genestealer "bottom", which is by far the most tame example I could give. Written in a preposterous way that makes me imagine Ian having a neckbeard putting a lion to shame and only cutting bread with the finest japanese steel. ua-cam.com/video/LwKC5fxhIZo/v-deo.html I agree that this story comparably tame, it's just that at least 1/3 of his 40k books is borderline smut and the community knows him as such. It basically became a meme. Watch for the words "kink shame back to x", "sewer goblin", "slaanesh fanfiction", "ATTENTION X: X", which are all basically quotes from Alfabusas video.
Seemed like writer was hung up on some um, internal/ personal fantasy bits in on this one. Yet still an interesting story and when voiced by you anything becomes interesting and intriguing. Can lead to interesting discussions and train of thoughts come what could be done by the assassins as slightly pointed out by the writer, yet interesting choice to go with the gene stealers first rather then say the tau who would be a bit easier imo for this kind of trial. Yet do see the kind of duality/ yet similar narrative he was attempting. The duality, the yes but no, the how 2 extremes could be similarly relatable yet so opposite( via her inner dialog and thoughts) come her form and reverse 'gene stealing' and become n a monster to infiltrate the monsters that try to infiltrate humanity. Can spark a rather interesting discussion imo, writers fantasies left a side.
I still don't know why they would throw away a perfect highly trained courtesan assassin instead of training one specifically for the role. It's like putting knife hands on a expert marksman. What did they even gain from the infiltration that a squad and angry SOB storming the church couldn't have done? I think at the end of the day you've just got to accept it's one of "those stories".
@@ChiefSmackahoLLC yeah I thought it was a bit strange that she instantly found the cult and figured out who the twist cultist was. It could have made the story a bit more interesting if she actually had to figure something out. I enjoyed the descriptions of life inside the cult though. If they had more of that and less of the assassin being poetic about her waste it could have been a good story.
Guy Haley = Emperor level writing;
Ian Watson = Slaneesh fan fiction
Alan Dembski Bowden = Primordial Truth
to be fair, the topic of the calidus makes the subject unavoidable.

Eye Of Terror. I know it sounds like “Terra” when the brits say it. ;)

when heretics hear the Eye Of Terror call out to them is it then a Whispering Eye Of Terror?

Really underrated detail about the Emporer’s fingernails being kept in a jar and getting sold as jewelry and alchemy ingredients.

The narrator literally says the writers name and then, “yah so you know this is going to be messed up.”

What does kink shame mean
@@donaldsmallwood3192 Basically, to shame someone for having a particular "kink", ie thinking that a particular quality/activity is "kinky"/sexy.

I normally do not care about the author until after the video. However knowing Ian Watson, oh boy, this is going to get awkward.
YES

Had a funny feeling we would get to see what the polymorphine does when used on someone without callidus training, was not disappointed XD
lol
Ian Watson definitely helps change things up from the 40year old virgin style writing of its other writers.
What does that even mean, 40yr old virgin style? I thought that was a movie?? You're describing a personality type rather than a writing style.
@@76HabeasCorpus i wouldn't be surprised if ian Watson is a 40 year old virgin because of his writing
I fear what would happen if Ian would write a book about The Emperor Children or any Slannesh thing, or Slannesh itself.
Have not read the inquistor first part of the inquisition wars?
5 minutes in and im already uncomfortable. Gotta love the sewer goblin

Ah yes, more material from the illustrious scribe Ian Wat-son. Excellent, excellent... MENIAL, PREPARE MY VIEWING CHAMBERS!
Aaaand it involves a Callidus assassin... MENIAL, ALSO PREPARE MY MIND-BLEACH PROTOCOLS!
Fantastic as usual! Ian Watson always up for a good kick in the nostalgia. Another vote for inquisition wars!
Brilliant story. Her hatred at what had been done to her powered her through and demonstrates why these assassins are such a beautiful tool to deliver the Emperor's vengeance and wrath.
From the original, but now retconned Inquisitor novel. Meh' Lindi was part of his team.

Author of the screen for Steven's Abominable Intelligence. Can we get the whole Inquisition Wars trilogy?
Edit: man, it really ISN'T a very good thing. Decius had it spot on
Me: "Why did I only watch 2 minutes of this."
Watson: "Beatle-tipped cones"
Me: "OH"
Another awesome edition to the libary, I like this one !
oh a new video....
cool thumbnail.....
nice title... i wonder who wrote it....... Slaneesh based HERESYYYYY
You may not like him. But damned if he isn't one of the best. when it comes to grim dark.
Did you take shower after this audio log, if not YOU SHOULD, I’m concerned about the level of Slaneesh taint that may have been hidden in this story.
Ian Watson.. Well, that's enough Internet and WH40k for today....
OMG you vent there , Inquisition War , you mad lad you
Great work buddy
1:30 in and we're already escaping bondage with kinky pipes, oh boy
SEWER GOBLIN
the moment you said Ian Watson, I said "Oh S**T!", then Boy cross through my mind vowing the destruction of the writer lol.
So yea you know it’s gonna be a bit messed up 😂😂 love it made me lol that’s good warhams for ya liked !
Why are there more books by Ian Watson?
Who greenlit this?
Ian Watson is an amazing writer. Anyone who considers this "dirty" really needs to get out more
