Just announced on FB and WarCom

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/11/25/coming-in-december-warhammer-preview-online-black-library-edition/

Unsure if we’re getting a models based one later in the month.

It was announced first in the 21st preview...but oh man am I glad to get a break! :-D No mention yet of any models based one, but they usually do a week of rumor engine styled bits around Christmas.

Hopefully they'll announce Penitent coming some time next year, it would be a no-brainer for the next big BL Weekender release.

Yeah, ages since the Pariah came. It is a time to see the sequel.

I wonder if we'll see some more lore and art book reprints and such. I'd love them to bring those eldar concept art books back. Always such a pain that GW/BL makes those products a one-time bulk order.

And no doubt a better love story than Twilight...

Odds on the next Solar War book being announced? What would people like to see as part of this preview?

At the recent preview for 40K all we saw were new books. Logic dictates that for the BL 40K section all we should see are new miniatures.

BL Weekender mini will probably not be teased and unveiled until January next year.

Siege of Terra news would also be nice, but I think the only book we're still getting at this point (and which has IIRC already been delayed) is the other filler novel McNeill wrote for the series as a "breather" to go in between books four and five. The rest is still being written right now and I fear, not being rude to the man, as he does produce IMHO some of the best books to date, that AD-B may be the one causing some of the delay with his inability to never hit a deadline.

Personally very much hoping for Penitent, Dan has been teasing it every chance he got when interviewed by GW.

I'd also welcome news of a third Imperial Knights novel by Andy Clark, but according to recent tweets, he hasn't been given a green light for that one yet. Announcing a third Vaults of Terra / Watchers of the Throne novel written by Chris Wraight wouldn't be a bad thing either, Vaults in particular is shaping up nicely. I guess a third Covenant novel is also an option, as they've left it at a cliff-hanger as is right now. Ooh, keeping with the third book theme, AD-B has been teasing a lot of his third Black Legion novel, would be neat as well.

Or more audio dramas, it's been awfully quiet this year for the most part, with quite a few of this year's releases (but not all) being re-releases of advent calendar material and whatnot. Could do with another Corsair audio drama, but I fear that one may have been killed off, or another Agent of the Throne, which is steadily building up towards something big. Or feth, just about anything written by Alex Worley, his audio stuff is, again IMHO, superb stuff.

Audio dramas might have been hit hard by Corona and the general shutdown of GW's offices and such.

Heck I'm not expecting a Gotrek one for a while since I'd wager Brian Blessed would be in a high risk category

ADB always hits his deadlines, huh? Not sure how that would cause a delay...

Penitent would be nice, but it'd mean I actually need to get through Pariah.

A third Knight book would be nice - I've been holding off picking either of the first two up, as I imagined there'd be a collected trilogy down the line eventually.

How are the Vaults/Watchers/Covenant series so far? Haven't read any of them.

More comic reprints please. A collected Darkblade and the rest of Bloodquest would be great.

I know a Bloodquest collection dropped recently - how much of the overall story was included? Reports indicated a healthy page count compared to the original printing, so I'm a little confused.

I do like the Daemonifuge collection that dropped earlier in the year, though - glad I got a copy of that.

They need to rerelease Pariah shortly before or alongside Penitent. It’s a pig to get hold of now.

Well I’ve recently picked up books one and two from wash of the Vaults, Watchers, Covenant and Black Legion series, so that’d be great to get a third to round as many of them out as possible.

Another one for the trilogy things: a third Carcharodon Astra novel would be ace, the first two (and the assorted short stories) really did a great job with them.

The Bloodquest book contains the first two volumes, so there's one more yet to be done. And the audio drama, but it's probably too much to hope they'd do a comic adaptation of that.

Hoping to see ADB's next SoTE or BL book officially announced.

Don't forget that this is going on Saturday. I'm going to sleep in, so hopefully it's enjoyable for all of you excited for this!

I’m gonna watch as I happen to have it booked as holiday.
I said to the wife that my random one off days I’m using up as holiday to treat them like I’m not there and deal with the kids etc.
They’ll be hobby days no interruptions. So I can stick it on while I paint..

One hour warning reminder!

book 5 of the siege series :

I ended up waking up early.

"Mortis" for Siege of Terra!


New Dark Imperium, "Godblight"!

I honestly love how the covers progress from Firstborn to Primaris marines. I wish more artwork featured the two together

It sounds like the first two Dark Imperium books have been rewritten slightly to “ align with the epic events of the Indomitus Crusade – so they now dovetail nicely with the ongoing Dawn of Fire series.”

Surprise! Uriel Ventris model.

This picture looks better than the one leaked this morning. But is he finecast? Black library models usually are, and the head and kneepad give my FC vibes. But I had hoped we were done with GW resin

They haven't done anything in the finecast mixes for years now. They're just doing plain ol' resin now.

Either way, it doesn't say.
