Kharn the Betrayer audio book as well.

2 more Garro and Co. audio dramas to follow,

More Ravenguard stuff planned as well.

Mr. Wraight > Iron Hands novel,

Mr. Dembski-Bowden's GK novel

not sure if I want Kharn in stereo...

But the following 4-5 items could find their way to me.
Hope the RG stuff isn't so much audio and more paper-based.

Wow, Gordon Rennie?! Give that man another Battlefleet Gothic project damn it!

Also, how's that Eisenhorn & Ravenor audio book or did you miss out on that one?

Tht was "the one that got away".

.. it'll be here soon enough. Got Salvations Reach and Red & Black on Saturday, at the event itself picked up the limited edition book, Hammer & Anvil, Red Duke, Gildar Rift -- even with me not having a beard ! -- and Blood of Aenarion.

Got Outcast Dead and Nocturne a wee while back and am enjoying both immensely.

...

Also, got an e-mail from BL today telling me that if I pre-ordered some stuff now, NO SHIPPING. After seeing the art previews of that new art book, I caved in. Nostalgia sake made me also pick up the Gothic Wars omnibus, which still is one of the finest (of the already woefully few!) Navy themed books out there. Not saying that Relentless is bad or anything, loved it lots, but the two Gothic War books are fond memories of mine and helped me shape my views of the hobby.

Do you think they'll ever release the audiobooks as a written book? A Tales of Heresy type anthology? There's some really important stuff in them but they're slipping through the cracks due to their audiobookness.

I'm not that bothered by the audio books, it just takes two or three listening sessions to get it to stick.

I don't mind them either but I prefer the written format. I think that many people aren't getting them either because they're not "real books" so to speak.

For me it is mostly the $17 pricetag for a less-than-novella length story.

I find it easier to listen to them than to find time to read, but the value isn't there for me.
I got Throne of Lies and it felt too short. Great story, just too short.

Two tidbits from GD UK:

kitch102 wrote:Also learnt that some of the authors have lists of people that have written in to them asking to be included in their books, apparently Dan Abnetts a big one for this, so if you fancy being a guardsman that gets killed 2 paragraphs after being introduced to a story get writing! I reckon I might! Guardsman Si Kitchener doesn't have much of a ring to it though lol.

Nice, but I got better news from the Red One himself.

The lack of beard confused me.

Haha, so he told me and you still gave him a book? How many pints has he promised you?

So how was it being a superstar this weekend?

I wouldn't be too surprised if we do, eventually, see text versions of some/most of the audio books -- see "The Book of Blood" BA collection which included a version of Heart of Rage.

..women eh !

As it happens I once upon a time had very similar electric blue hair extensions to the fetching ones you were sporting.

Good to see you again though, looking forwards to BL Live 2012! a lot.

Hey, just remember that you are married to Dakka Dakka and that the contract is non-negotiable.

Indeed - it is a life sentence!

That too. Though a hardcover can be even more than that. For those who get softcovers though, it's almost the price of three books.

That's good. At least there's some precedent.

Wow, just got word that both the GD anthology and the Emperor's Will have been shipped. Along with two other novels snatched up from GD UK I'm super-stoked about that vacation just a week away.

This artwork was doing the rounds at GD, going to post it here now after it was , helpfully, regathered and annoted by Mr. Dembski-Bowden.

..who also drops this juicy little titbit..

May I just add, furthermore, that I may just be squeezing into that anthology? And would it be with a novella about Konrad Curze? Yes, yes it might be.

which is nice.

Angron get hit with a shrink ray or something?

Short people are the angriest, closely followed by those who are bald. Hairs are your aerials. They pick up signals from the cosmos, and transmit them directly into the brain.


Being both short and bald Angron never really stood a chance.

Ok i think i got most of them, but in the 2nd pic from the bottom, is it Khan, Manus and Corax?

Also..... Primarch Anthology??

I guess its:

1st pic: group shot
2nd pic: horus and fulgrim
3rd pic: khan , dorn , custodes
4th pic: sanguinius, mortarion, magnus , angron

Is it the parase at Ullanor?

I didn't even see Mortarion.... Angron looks.... not what i expected, he has the psychopath look to him but, i dunno.

I always thought Dorn had a mustache and the military buzzcut.

Maybe the one with white hair is Curze??

EDIT: The bald guy beside Khan could be Perturabo

Bwhahahaha. Might have to get Hammer and Bolter 13 just to read that.

Pic, L to R: Sanguinius, Mortarion, Magnus, Angron, Khan, Lorgar, Dorn, Horus, Fulgrim

i.e., all of the Super-friends who were at Ullanor!

You talking about first pic?

Yes, the first picture with all of the Primarchs in it!

Ya, that's not the way I pictered Angron at all. I thought he was bigger than all of them.

Why is everyone thinking that's Angron? I'm thinking it's Curze.
