Gotrek and Felix: unsung heroes of the Empire, or nothing more than common thieves and murderers? The truth perhaps lies somewhere in between, and depends entirely upon whom you ask... Gotrek and Felix race to the dwarf hold at Karak Kadrin, finding it besieged by one of the grand armies of Chaos warlord Garmr. When King Ungrim Ironfist speaks of the legendary ‘Road of Skulls’ and of the hated foe’s attempts to open a portal into the Realm of Chaos, Gotrek senses that a great doom awaits him – though it may not be the one he would choose for himself. As the king’s own son leads his army of Slayers to fulfil an ancient prophecy, it seems that Garmr’s hour of victory may be at hand.

Sounds promising., sad to see Mr. Long gone, but Mr. Reynolds work in the old world has been enjoyable enough thus far.

Here's just a taste of some of the pre-release novels that will be there:

Pariah - Dan Abnett's long awaited follow up to the Eisenhorn and Ravenor series which sees the two Inquisitors pitted against each other. Who will prevail?

The Emperor's Might - the second in John Blanche's series of art books that explore the servant's of the God Emperor, this time focussing on the military arm of the Imperium of Man.

Tome of Fire - a collection of short stories and novellas from Nick Kyme, tied into his hugely successful Salamanders trilogy.

Sword of Caledor - William King's Tyrion and Teclis trilogy continues in this new volume, as the twins venture into the deadly jungles of Lustria in search of the fabled Sunfang.

The Great Betrayal - Nick Kyme brings us the first part of the story of the great war between the Elves and the Dwarfs as the Time of Legends series continues.

Garro: Sword of Truth - In this two-disc audio drama from James Swallow, Nathaniel Garro returns from the battlefields of Calth to find a new mission waiting for him.

When the overlords of Black Library once again demanded a blog entry, I decided to take the pulse of the people to see what they wanted to hear about. This was in no way instead of actually thinking of what to write about myself. Absolutely not. No way. Me?

Anyway, turns out there's a lot of things people want to hear about, so in no particular order (or coherence...) here's a few answers and reflections on the saner subjects you brought up.

My next project in the Warhammer World will likely involve Sigmar, because – as it turns out – God King was never going to be the end of that story. The more I wrote of the third book, the more we knew there was a vast backcloth of setting and story to explore and thus the idea of an Age of Sigmar came about... where I can tell tales set in the Empire Sigmar created, but which don't necessarily have to have the big yin as lead character. He'll be a through-line, the axis around which the arc of the stories revolve, but there are other great characters inhabiting that world I want to see take centre stage. Oh, and I have an urge to visit the dark elves to complete my journeys around the elven habitats with a trip to Naggaroth.

Heresy teasers...? Well, there's... oh, wait, no. Can't tell you about that... or that. Hmmm, well, Fear to Tread is hitting the shelves any day now, and Angel Exterminatus won't be far behind (and, yeah, it'll be another A Thousand Sons-sized behemoth). Then there's my audio drama, ‘Wolf Hunt’ – featuring two of the survivors from The Outcast Dead – and another story called ‘The Thief of Revelations’. Will we see more of Magnus? Almost certainly. Rogal Dorn? Would I like to see more of him? Yes, please. But that's your Heresy ration for now. Plenty to be getting excited about already without going too far into the distance.

Some folk were asking about the Emperor's Children and The Cult Mechanicus; well, you need look no further than Angel Exterminatus or Priests of Mars to scratch those itches. And to those of you who've read Priests of Mars... remember that it's just the first part of a duology. I start the concluding book later this year, so rest assured the expedition of Archmagos Kotov will reach its end there. There's some great stuff to come in that book, that I'm champing at the bit to get to. Just got to delve into the deepest, darkest caves of a dying world for a Horus Heresy novella first.

And onto Warhammer 40,000 now. Aside from Priests of Mars, I plan to return to the boys of Ultramar soon, with a fiendish tale of battle for survival in the pipeline for next year's schedule. It's all go here, I tell you. Okay, what else...? Raven Guard, yeah, I'd love to do some stuff with them, as I always have a real blast when I write them. Who doesn't love space ninjas? As to whether that'd be in Warhammer 40,000 or in the Horus Heresy... well, I have a corking idea for where to use them in the Heresy, but I think it would be equally cool to do something with the sons of Corax in the 41st millennium. Whether my crammed schedule will allow that is another matter. Hopefully.

Right, that's probably enough to getting on with, eh?

See you soon for more Tales from the Tea Shoppe.
