Not a bundle, that's what kind of book

**Apostle Pat**

I have high hopes for this, and I'm ready for them to be shot done by GW as usual.

**Manchu**

So is this happening?

As D-USA already noted, we've already got it covered, but I'm still curious.

There's big news from the Black Library today - Angel Exterminatus, the latest novel in the Horus Heresy series is now available to advance order, both from the Games Workshop website and as part of an exclusive bundle deal from the Black Library. This stunning hardback novel is the first of a new breed of Horus Heresy books - a chunky tome complete with a gorgeous full-colour dust-jacket, a wrap-around cover featuring the cover art, an afterword from the author, Graham McNeill, and four exclusive pieces of artwork by Karl Richardson to accompany Perturabo's epic quest for the eponymous Angel Exterminatus.

Keen to find out more about Graham's inspiration for the book, both Michael from the Black Library team and Adam from White Dwarf took the opportunity to ask him about his latest novel:

"Angel Exterminatus is a tale of two Primarchs who are just about the last two you'd expect to see working together," begins Graham, "a tale of one's vanity and another's determination to carry out his brother's orders. It's a tale of trust broken, towering egos and a journey into the unknown in search of ultimate power. It's a book that was to be a spiritual sequel to Fulgrim, but ended up being all about Perturabo. I quickly realised that it wasn't Fulgrim's story, that he was the figure who kicked it all into motion, but the character who needed to take the journey was Perturabo. It's action packed, full of twists and turns and contains more than a few revelations the fans won't be expecting..."

Graham had plenty more to say about Angel Exterminatus to both our intrepid reporters. You can read more about Graham's thoughts on Angel Exterminatus on the Black Library blog page now and there is an extensive double-page interview with Graham and a review of the book in November's issue of White Dwarf, which will be out on October 27th.

We were lucky enough to get our hands on a copy of Angel Exterminatus (though only briefly before the librarians took it back) and we were delighted by all the extra features in it. Matt's Imperial Fist was entirely overwhelmed by the size and scale of the book, which is entirely appropriate considering what happens to his Battle Brothers at the start of the novel...

But that's not all from the Black Library vaults. With only three weeks to go until the Black Library Weekender they've announced another exclusive product that will be available on the day - an Alpha Legion t-shirt.

I am Alpharius.

You are Alpharius.

Finally after lurking for a couple years I made an account to point that out...theres been much better things I wanted to comment on but oh well.

Nope.
There'd be a bundle.

**Alfndrate**

I believe the "bundles" are the following:

http://www.blacklibrary.com/collections

You can get ALL of the versions of Angel Exterminatus which includes the hardback, the ebook, the unabridged audio mp3, an exclusive poster and a wallpaper for pc, etc..

OR

The hardback and ebook versions of Angel Exterminatus, Horus Rising, False Gods, and Galaxy in Flames.

OR

Horus Rising, False Gods, and Galaxy in Flames in hardback and ebook

OR

Angel Exterminatus hardback and ebook

OR

ebook and mp3....

some bundles.

**kronk**

As it's rare for them to put new stuff up on any day but Saturday, I'll wait until tomorrow and see if they have any deals.

I'm actually hoping they don't because I spent this month's gaming budget on some Forge World stuff anyway and I don't want to miss out. Screw the rest of you guys!

Edit: @ Alf. You may have found the bundles.

**ironicsilence**

unimpressed with those bundles

**Bulkoth**

The initial post mentions 40k, FB and LotR and adding to your miniatures collection, I think the two are a coincidence.

All I did was click the link in the GW post lol.

**Breotan**

Doesn't GW release their stuff at midnight Friday in the UK? That'd be about 4pm PST for the Americas.

**Redbeard**

Wow, $30...

**SalamanderMarine**

I hope there are some good bundles would be the first time I would throw GW money and not care about the price.

They very well could be and probably are but I found it funny.

**spiralingcadaver**

cover featuring the cover art

That's one hell of a perk, GW.

**Valkyrie**

So we get 3 versions of the same book? ...the hell GW?

WHAT AN AMAZING DEAL!

**Brother SRM**

Wait til tomorrow you goofs. GW does new releases on Saturdays generally. If they don't come then, well then wait til we're closer to Christmas.

**H.B.M.C.**

No! Ignore Brother SRM.

Sit in this thread, hit F5 constantly. The news is (possibly) only seconds/minutes/days away!!!!!!!!!

**Darth Bob**

I want that Alpha Legion shirt.

From warseer:
"[Niezck] There's a reply on their facebook page saying it's been delayed."

"[The bearded one] Yes, it's been delayed. My local GW manager and the regional manager (he happened to pop in) said there was some internal miscommunication/chaos, so it will be delayed, possibly 'till christmas."

Am I the only that gets the feeling this was some kind of stunt?

**Aerethan**

GW Belgium can no longer be trusted.

The only way they can make this up to us is to send us all a Belgian chocolate Land Raider.

**KalashnikovMarine**

Maybe it was a leak test? Trying to figure out where leaked info was coming from? Or to see if there was lots of interest in bundles from us unwashed masses.
