Hey there. I've been storming around the internet looking for answers and it seems like I've just gotten more lost.
Both me and my brother have been looking forward towards The Warmaster, which according to Amazon for the past year was supposed to release on June 25.
Only a few days ago, when we look on Amazon, the book is suddenly supposed to release in February of next year.
I cannot find a hair of information as to when the book is actually supposed to be released. I'm here making this thread to see if anybody else has more decent information.

No one really knows.
It's been listed and then delayed quite a few times now, alas.
Seemingly caught up in both Mr Abnett's busy schedule and stuff-we-don't-see behind the scenes at BL.

Is it getting re-written whenever a new codex changes the fluff?

I'm also waiting for the book. I think Dan Abnett is very busy working on other things though (he's writing for Marvel comics, in particular Guardians of the Galaxy).

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"
"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"
"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"
"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!" |

No, that was McNeill.
Abnett is buried under Horus Heresy and Alzheimers. We're still waiting for Warmaster and the second Bequin book, but they'll get here when they get here.
Edit: I have been corrected, it is epilepsy, not alzheimers.

Oh yeah he has some brain disease, it must be alzheimer's. Actually it doesn't matter what it is, just say he has Alzheimer's, and he's drowning in it.
I swear but you do this every third post you make and it would be so easy to not give weird and wrong information.

I talk about Abnett once in a blue moon, and I was told it was Alzheimers.
If that information is incorrect, and I talk about it so often, why have you waited until now to challenge it?
What does he have then?

BL has gotten both slow in the head and slow. Can they really make more money on these short stories and limted editions? Their novel pace for their major arcs and the HH are just frustratingly glacial in speed

I just finished rereading the entire GG line finishing with Sabbat Crusade collection of short stories (which I hadnt read before). So ready for the next book now! Delay - fair enough (one hell of a long delay thus far) but the lack of info is the real kick in the stones.

Since I'm still waiting for GRRM to publish Winds of Winter it would be... unfair of me to pity you.

It is best to be a pessimist. You are usually right and, when you're wrong, you're pleasantly surprised. |

Currently he is doing guardians of infinity, and I think he may go with guardians of the galaxy again.

The slowest race ever, GRRM's asoiaf vs. BL's HH series, which finishes first. 
Good to see BL have sped up since Christmas, I've actually had a queue of BL books to read for a change.
