The only MMPB's we'll see now are the HH novels,I believe - BL policy is to publish anything not started in MMPB format (ie HH) in that awful Trade size.

Why doesn't BL just use the guy they use for their French covers to do all of them? I mean...

No, I hadn't seen any of them. I really like the light and color but I think the composition could use more energy.

Definitely prefer those to the covers that the UK had!
£15 for a Novella.?? Good grief...
I thought originally there had been intent for all of the limited edition stuff to come out as MMPB at some point, although perhaps I have misremembered and in fact they meant that it would come out in a non-limited edition format.

The "limited edition stuff" doesn't necessarily come out as MMPB, but rather it tends to come as part of an omnibus. "The Bloody Handed God", for example, is in "The Sundering" omnibus.

Those covers look awesome but... I really have no idea who the characters in them are. Aside from Eisenhorn that is, - shouldn't he be really young looking then?

Many decades have passed between Xenos, Malleus, and Hereticus. By the third book, at least 150 years have passed (if I remember correctly).

The cover for Xenos is Eisenhorn and Fischig.
The cover for Malleus is Eisenhorn and Ravenor.

The 3rd one looks like Eisenhorn and Alizebeth, although she isn't a major character in that one, it would make sense due to the who it must be.

Just finished Blighted Empire by C.L. Werner. Like all of Mr. Werner's works, the kill count was high, the story was compelling and it all came together neatly. The story is told from Skaven, Necromancer, corrupt Imperial and noble Middenheimer perspectives which really does a great service to portray the sheer magnitude of how the Empire of Man is really at its worst position in its 1000ish year history. The characters, good and bad, were all well written, from the Necromancer Vanhal, who seems to be possessed/manipulated by Nagash (I got that impression) to the vile Emperor Boris, the various Skaven clanlords and their brutal politicking, to Mandred, soon to be called Skavenslayer.
All in all a solid read from the consistent CL Werner.

legacy format being what they're now calling the regular MMPB editions we all bought quite happily before.
Heard some good things about Mr. French's Ahriman book, and the Skarsnik book is, for me, an essential purchase !
Looking forwards to the C L Werner book there too.

Jah, how is Ahriman portrayed in the book?
Always loved the idea of the character, but don't want to read if it comes across as "must... destroy.. humankind" (said in a Homer Simpson voice)
And in that case my version of him can always survive in my own head..

actually, Pacific, Ahriman is portrayed as trying to save his arse, 'cause his homies hate him...
no mustache twirling villany, just a sense of being hunted by his own peeps...
it's also set a bit back in the timeline, which i like in the odd BL novel, fleshing out more of the backstory of the last 10,000 years...
it's definitely worth the read...

Is the new release of promethean sun in exactly the same format/design as the limited release or does it somehow differ? Page count is the same but BL does not provide any real detail on the site.

It was my introduction to traditional games, and there was a time when I enjoyed it very much. I want to buy 40k, but Gamesworkshop is doing their very best to push me away, and simply not buying their product won't tell them that.

My local Barnes and Nobles, which as little as a year ago used to have a whole bookshelf-display dedicated to BL complete with posters and signs, now has more or less stopped stocking them and only has a few 4-5 month old books hidden away in the Sci Fi-fantasy section. Real shame what BL has done to themselves.
