Yeah I'm thinking I'll jump for the second. It's rare as normally I'm all in or not at all with bundles, but the HH is 50 books long - I can't commit to that huge of a reading project when I've others to catch up on any way (plus its all freaking marines - not a Tyranid in sight :()

I've acquired most of the early HH books via Humble Bundle deals in the past so was able to pass my paperbacks on to others. The more recent books have all been digital just for the space saver convenience more than anything else.

Thanks to Humble Bundle and Amazon sales I have a hefty backlog of the Cain omnibus editions (£1.99 each), the Priests of Mars, Solar Macharius, Eisenhorn and Night Lords trilogies (same price) to get through before I worry about buying more.

The next Must Purchase for me though will be if the third Siege of Terra book comes out for a sale price. The first two ended up at £1.99 via Kindle.

Daemonifuge books are out in the wild! Mine just arrived and its freaking great! Full colour, great printing, great binding and very glossy bright and ideal. Well worth a buy!

Very funny.

I'm talking about the anniversary edition not the huge collectors edition
Ergo just Daemonifuge. Which if I'm right has gone out of stock on the GW website, but I believe Amazon and 3rd party stores and local stores are getting copies so if you hunt around today you might still find it


Also my "non new edition" budget just vanished for the month on Inferno reprints! Now to wait 120days

Instant preorder for me as well, along with Saturnine as a separate order.

My copy of Daemonifuge is still some days away from being released, even though I preordered it all the way back in March.

Here's some nice news - "The Eldar" ebook collection on Black Library and Amazon UK has taken a nosedive in price from the £30s down to £10.99!

My Amazon order has already slipped from Prime next-day delivery(ie, the 10th) to June 16th. I fully expect it to slip again, and then be cancelled, because I've tried to get BL products through third party stores before and GW reps consistently over-promise and under-deliver when it comes to stock. Ordering it elsewhere at this point is likely futile, and there's no sign of it in local stores.

Strange times at the Black Library. Josh Reynold's final novel from them, Fabius Bile: Manflayer was only available direct from GW as a hardback. All other sites had to cancel orders for the hardcover; GW did not supply any to third parties.

I like to believe it’s because he punched Rountree in the parking lot. Consequences.

Even better - the hardback version of Manflayer is sold out if you didn’t get one now. You’ll have to settle for ebook or audio until whenever the paperback edition is released.

Black Library has picked up an impressive four nominations in the 2020 Scribe Awards, which celebrate excellence in tie-in fiction. Which of these worthy nominees do you want to see scooping prizes

I quite enjoyed Red Feast, haven't perused any of the others yet.

Be nice with these series to have an idea of when the next book is supposed to be -- one appreciates that this will by and large be sales affected but some idea would be nice.

HA! Attack of the Necron.

i'm surprised the kids books got nominated (especially both), but I guess they may hit the age point where there just isn't much tie in fiction?

plenty of really young kids stuff from Disney/Pixar etc and plenty for adults but not much in the mid point

I need to find what I did with that Necron book. I bought it and quickly lost it before I could read it.

Watcher in the Rain is well-deserving of a nomination, their audio dramas have only gotten better over time and the Horror dramas, especially the two by mister Worley, make great use of sound effects backed by a good cast of actors.

I really enjoyed red feast a great fantasy novel. I dont read a lot of AoS but this was great even as a stand alone fantasy piece. Watcher in the rain is my only foray to not horror (purely because of the cover!) I found it ok.... it wasn’t what I was expecting from the horror title. I can’t say I found it horrific or scary. I alway enjoy being taken into the human population of 40k but I’m not going to say it was superb in my world anyway.
Gav has won awards before so I’m not suprised he is up again. I always wonder what criteria judges use for these awards.

My normal edition arrived yesterday through third party store. Third book I ordered on pre-order with them in the last months and all have arrived.

Have read the first half, still haven‘t made up my mind about it. It‘s not bad, but not great either.

I missed the release for Daemonifuge 20th edition as i saw the release date as the 9th of July so wasnt expecting it, but then found out that was for third party releases, so it was sold out before i noticed on the 3rd of July.

I ordered a copy from Alchemist shop but i dont expect it to be fulfilled now.

Proper raging as with the tons of spam emails from GW about new box set, i saw nothing about the release of damonifuge, or more specifically that the standard edition was limited stock too.

Seen plenty on ebay for £50 though!

Oh well, i still have the original B&W Manga style size book from a games day some 15 years ago

I also was able to get Manflayer Hard back in my local FLGS , so have the first 2 bile books in paperback coming from GW.

Finished Manflayer this very morn in fact, a satisfying conclusion overall.

There's a nice little interview with Mr Thorpe about his forthcoming Indomitus stories here

Some more horror coming in October, the first announced novel is The Reverie by Peter Fehervari. Fehevari’s previous novels, particularly Requiem Infernal, would fit right into the horror brand anyway, and are great reads. Will be interesting to see if this fits into his ‘Dark Coil’ or if it’s a separate story.

First time for everything these days.. looks like the Book Depository is unable to fulfil my pre-order of Daemonifuge.

But I did get Titandeath the other day in legacy format, so all that remains is something about a dagger and I've got the entire Horus Heresy series in pauper format on my shelves.

Bad news for any Horus Heresy Gotta Catch Em All Completists out there.

I found this on the Forbidden Planet site:

https://forbiddenplanet.com/304802-the-horus-heresy-book-1-horus-rising/


A Masterworks version of Horus Rising.



Available in August, hardback, £12.99 RRP.

That cover makes me laugh. It looks like they were going for literary kitsch, the kind of trade paperback you’d get if Oprah selected a Doc Savage book for her club.

Or the 'adult' covers for the Harry Potter books for grown ups to read on trains!


The FP blurb indicates this is the start of a Black Library Masterworks range. It'll be likely that all the range will have this style of cover.

It does seem to be tapping into the SF and Fantasy Masterworks range that already exists from Gollanz (I think), collecting classics from many authors.

Not my market. I already have either the original paperbacks or e-versions.

The Heresy series is becoming like Skyrim at this point - how many formats can they possibly re-sell it in?

Amazon.co.uk have copies in stock if you haven’t managed to find one elsewhere. Mine arrived yesterday.

I had never heard of Golanz before. I miss the days when cover art wasn’t ashamed of itself.
