It's the conclusion of an absurdly long, even by fantasy standards, book cycle dealing with the foundations of the setting. It was going to top charts and polls even if it was two thousand pages of lorem ipsum.

I mean, the aftermath is probably going to be its own ten book series. I don't mean that in a cynical way but there will definitely be a desire to tell the stories that weren't told.

...the untold story of the Siege of Vraks that was told in 622 pages across 3 large hardback volumes with lots of colour plates...? The untold story that also got a 227 page second edition in the same format?

I'd rather they just reissue the old Imperial Armour books.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
It is interesting that they focus on Tyborc, one of the few recognisable names from the war (which was really about the theme of faceless warfare) and the cover art is a poor version of some of the original Vraks artwork...

Didn't see that anywhere, but Steve Lyons has always been a great DKoK author. I doubt he will focus on the entirety of the Siege. Perhaps written from the perspective of Captain-Major-Colonel Tyborc?

The upcoming army boxed set is Darkoath in general.

The novel that was previewed was about a specific group of characters that have featured in a Warham+ animation and are getting their own boxed set. That boxed set and the novel will probably launch in conjunction with each other, much like the Blacktalons and Callis & Toll box each went up for pre-order with a bespoke novel.

Just a heads up on the new Ciaphas Cain novel, Vainglorious: the opening introduction by the inquisitor gives what appear to be massive spoilers. I’m about halfway through the novel and the threat mentioned in the intro has not yet revealed itself but is almost certainly what Cain will stumble on by the end. I suggest skipping the first section under the Inquisition skull if you want to avoid spoilers.



The purpose of the opening is for the author to explain the massive difference in the background that occurred between earlier Ciaphas Cain stories and this story, a difference that would apparently be jarring without the heads up. I can’t say I blame him.

No, it’s a different thing. The very first sentence of the introduction seems like a spoiler.


The Great Rift also gets a mention, although it is still in this story’s future.

Vainglorious was a pretty solid Ciaphas Cain story. I wouldn’t put it in the same level as The Traitor’s Hand, but maybe with Caves if Ice or Duty Calls. The villains are more memorable than the ones from the last couple of books, and Jurgen gets a lot to do. More Jurgen is always good, although the downside of that is there was an unfortunate number of “giving me the full benefit of his halitosis” jokes.

The introduction page turns out to be a pretty big spoiler for the reveal 2/3rds through in the way that Abigail teasers telling you she’s a vampire make the first 30-40 minutes of the film a little less exciting. I don’t know why it wasn’t just inserted in between the relevant chapters.

The Plague of Unbelief was originally a simple rebellion by a cardinal and his cronies taking advantage of a lack of Imperial oversight, carving out a little empire for himself. Saint Dolan spoke out against him, got put on trial and martyred, and then the people rose up against the oppressors.

Now, the Dawn of Fire series says that there's some weird artefact behind the whole thing that Abaddon can weaponise, and the 8th edition Codex mentions the plague being put down by the first mass deployment of the Adepta Sororitas, which inspired the cardinal's followers to turn on him.

Part of the fun of a new codex is seeing what new mistakes got made. In the 10th edition Sororitas codex, they've corrected the mistake from 9th where they had Vandire being an Ecclesiarch that usurped the Administratum (the inverse is true), but in the very same paragraph they throw the whole thing out by thousand years, making it M37 instead of M36! One hand giveth, the other taketh away...

Hmm, it's been a while since I was actually interested in BL releases. All 3 sound good, assuming they release them in reasonable formats and not ultra limited edition hardback

Shows how absolutely absurd Warhammer Book prices can be that a signed, numbered, limited edition hardback book with special unique covers and short stories included, is probably going to end up being a cheaper way to get to read those book than buying a used copy of the mass produced ordinary paperbacks that released within the past few years.

I also tried the audiobooks BL was selling, but I just tune them out like a car radio during a tricky merge.

Have you tried an actual e-reader like a Kindle Paperwite? They are night-and-day different to a tablet/phone. With the backlight built into most models now they are effortless to read with.
I'm a big fan of books, but I do a LOT of reading now on my Paperwite e-book. It's great being able to read a 1000page novel without my fingers aching; without cracking the spine; and without having to contort my back into odd angles at night to read in dimmer light.

Heck you can have the lights fully off and keep reading.


Tablets and phones have a very harsh bright glare to them; plus they are digital so there's always the temptation to get lulled into checking social media/forums/emails/something else and get distracted.

But you CAN read in the dark without waking up the person next to you as you don't have to have the main light on.

There are upsides and downsides to both - I still buy books. And yes the Kindle "library" is a bit of a pain to work with (because like a lot of modern interfaces its made to sell you things not organise your things)

But I still utterly love it. Heck you can even get that "book shop experience" by having samples from Amazon sent to your ereader (its an option on the righthand side in all the buying and wishlist part when viewing an ebook).

All true, but you CAN buy franchise ebooks at somewhat normal prices compared to shelling out for secondhand books like these. I'm definitely still on the side of print books, but ebooks (on an ereader specifically, not on a tablet for me) are good for certain things.

Yeah, one of the upsides. I like the tactile nature of books a lot too, and the non-issue with batteries, and the fact that you own the thing and not just a license, etc. etc. etc. But there are benefits, and increasing font size is one of them. Some of them (not sure about Kindles) can also link to your local public library also and you can borrow books that way.

I'm sure I remember him mentioning wanting to do a sequel to Double Eagle in old interviews, but that he had far too much other stuff on his plate. I'm guessing this is a chance to do something 'fun' after that Siege ending.

Is the tau book out yet?

i'm taking bets on whether the tau get to actually win in a book about them, or if the raptor marine antagonist actually wins anyway or 'doesn't lose'. Extra marine propaganda points if he survives the story because marines have to have plot armour even when they're not the protagonist.

IMO if GW gave the protagonism winning powers of marines to tau and eldar, their books would be a lot more popular.

Instead we get books that spend a lot of time telling how crap they are and how they lose a lot and are sold it as 'faction fiction!'

Assuming that the plot of the book follows that of the game, the Tau will 'win' insofar as the protagonist survives and their ship gets away (although crippled), but their invasion force is wiped out and they lose their Ethereal in the process, so their original mission is a total failure.

It would be great to see. Heck, a game where you play as an eldar traveling the aspects of the path of the warrior would be fantastic, each time you're on a different aspect you have completely different fighting styles and your character equips weapon variants from the shrine. The story could uniquely follow the character for centuries, each time they're appearing at a different point in the scheme of the farseer to enact a precise attack to generate the needed outcome.

There are some amazing storytelling opportunities available. But my cynicism tells me that GW have hitched their wagon to marines being the 40k protagonists and won't do anything to dilute that. You see if whenever marines show up in their fiction when they aren't the protagonists. They basically get protagonism powers and take over the story, never being allowed to look bad or failing.

It's like black library is hollywood and space marines are A listers who have crazy riders that mean they can never look lame, lose a fight or appear as a pointless side character. They must always be the best everytime they show up regardless of the context.

If you want to know how to get people to read books that aren't about marines or the imperium - write your tau and eldar stories like the character has space marine protagonism protection and see the popularity soar... people like cool characters that win, not long winded emo stories of how much they suck.

I mean far as we know only 4 characters survived.
Gotrek, Thanquol, technically possibly Ulrika is alive somewhere in Nagash** and Felix is heavily hinted at being a Stormcast. Though the latter is only a possible hint.

Or at least as some memory of one of the dead from the Old World. Though its unlikely he'd ever bring her out unless Gotrek was actually a threat to him in a big way.

GaroRobe wrote:I mean, we do know what happened to grumpy aelf a few books ago…


Spoiler:
Technically they never spell it out. It's a cliffhanger end where its presumed she's killed. Even if she's killed she's got three avenues to return. Sigmar as a Stormcast; Morathi* or Nagash.

*From what I recall most of the Khinerai are made from souls from Slaanesh's belly, but I think I recall reading somewhere that she's also doing some fresh syphoning too. Though I might be miss remembering this one

Damocles is talking about WFB in general.

Teclis, Tyrion, Allarielle, Nagash, Archaon, Gotrek, Thanquol, the white dwarf, all the daemon characters (a bit of a cheat because they can't really die), Kroak (has mazdamundi survived?), Kroq Gar, Morathi, Malekith, Nagash, mannfred von Carstein.

I'm sure I've missed someone. GW's business model is built around the narrative equivalent of trying to have your cake and eat it too.

EDIT: Balthasar Gelt apparently, Nerferata, arkhan the black, Ushoran, Eltharion (in spirit form), Drycha, Sigvald, ikit klaw,

Tobe honest the only problem I have with it all is that AoS is supposed to be the 4rd age in the setting - after the world blew up and after the AoS world. By that point there should be nothing left not even a memory of the Old World and most of the characters that weren't Demons or Slaan would be bonkers old by the time AoS hits.

I do agree a good chunk of the setup is a bit -- daft

They didn't trust that their new product could stand on its own without a massive dose of WFB nostalgia holding it together.

I would agree with them. If they stripped it all out it would just be Planescape fantasy battles.

The overreliance on soul mcguffins in AoS means that they can effectively resurrect anyone however they want. It's a comic narrative's wet dream.

Not sure if it's a sequel, but I guess its implied


Perhaps! That or just lucky
Spoiler:
Esp since at the end of the last book she was in it's only implied that she dies. We never actually see the battle or her getting killed. Plus Gotrek is really morose in the AoS setting; didn't have any allies to get back down under the water and she DID keep trying to kill him

Amazon description of Dark Coil wrote:Peter Feheravi’s Dark Coil tales spin an intricate web across the grim darkness of the far future. From the fecund jungles of the Dolorosa Coil, to a shrine world ruled by a mysterious cult with a world-ending secret, this anthology includes the novels Fire Caste, Cult of the Spiral Dawn, and a selection of short stories, all exploring the strange and acclaimed worlds of the Dark Coil.


So, looks like the upcoming Fehevari anthology contains only the books that I don't already have, just what I needed! I made the right decision not to splurge on the repetition included in that Special Edition hardback set!

It's a new version presumably with a different slate of short stories (the most recent Eisenhorn omnibus included The Magos but omitted other short stories from the previous version, I'd assume this will have the rest and anything else missing).

I wonder what short stories there might still be then? Because the first(?) omnibus already featured the prequel stories about Patience KYS and Thorn Wishes Talon.

I wish Pandaemonium would be announced already.

Most recent Eisenhorn omnibus has:

Reggia Occulta
Missing in Action
Backcloth for a Crown Additional
The Keeler Image

Which leaves:
Pestilence
Master Imus's Transgression
The Strange Demise of Titus Endor
The Curiosity
Playing Patience
Thorne Wishes Talon
Gardens of Tycho
Perihelion

Of those, Thorn Wishes Talon and Playing Patience were in the original Ravenor omnibus, so I'd expect those.
Perihelion I'd expect in a theoretical future Bequin omnibus. Would be nice if the others found their way in somewhere.

Indeed, that one can not come soon enough yet has been delayed by things out of his control, according to Dan himself. Would not surprise me if that is being delayed to coincide with some later 40k related release, especially if what it reveals has as large an impact on the setting as has been potentially hinted at.

simple question for the team..

Is there any way to periodically check what books are coming out that are in "real book" format?

I keep checking the Black Library website and only see e-books and audio.. all the icons for printed material are always grey-ed out for me

My local Warhammer store has no clue.. manager says he knows when a new title comes out when he gets it in the weekly restock delivery.

I want to preorder stuff, to make sure I get authors I enjoy, but cannot figure out how to do so

Whilst BL are honestly pretty good at keeping things in print/ebook format (at least for novels) they are shockingly bad at conveying information on what they've got.

Eg if you want Old World stuff you have to go hunting and good luck working out which short and long stories are in which compiled publications - Old World isn't too bad but 40K and AoS are a mess of the same short stories getting rebundled over and over here and there.

combining an amazon search either for black library https://www.amazon.com/s?k=black+library or a specific book with their coming soon filter is not bad

the dates may not be totally accurate but give a good indication that the book is showing up in the near future

Really? I can never get into an audio drama, unless its something super short. I really hate the characters having to overexplain everything they see or hear so we can know what's going on. The dialogue usually comes across cheesy and forced and not how normal people talk.

I know some sports groups started creating membership clubs and only members could buy advanced tickets in a bid to try and dissuade ticket touts and bots swarming and stealing up all the early tickets. GW might start to adopt something like that or they could do these books as "in store purchases only" which removes the entire issue of the internet and bots.

Books these days have woefully low stock. That or there are scalpers who are also buying those in bulk.

It'll come back in paperback form at a later date.

Still available on Amazon, and this version goes out to bookshops so it's generally fairly easy to track down.

At the local B&N, they had a display of Horus Heresy books, Horus Rising, with the original “1st printing” gold foil. Are BL really just reprinting their rare MMPBs again, or was this a box someone just found buried under some crates?


Also, there were half a dozen Black Library books at most on the shelf, the lowest number I’ve every seen. For a series that regularly made the NYT bestseller list and filled a third of the tie in section, this is a shockingly low presence.

Waterstones in the UK doesn't seem to carry Black Library at all anymore.

Maybe it's because they keep selling the copies?

Ravenor omnibus also includes the short story Perihelion now which the previous version didn't.

That was in the 'Magos' original printing.
