Did BL ever publishe the Time of Legends book Blood Dragon? It is listed as upcoming in several of the other ToL books, but amazon's never heard of it.

**nels1031**

Nope, I'd have been all over it like white on rice and read it 32 times if it was released. Quite a bit of juicy ToL stuff was scrapped for reasons unkown, then End Times hit and the reason became known.

Last Time of Legends book release was the thoroughly awesome Curse of the Phoenix Crown, which was released during the End Times.

**BobtheInquisitor**

Damn. Hopefully the manuscript is finished and saved so that BL can release it when the new CEO finally brings the old hammer nostalgia to BL.

Also, would anyone be willing to sell me Blighted Empire and Wolf of Sigmar for MSRP or less? I missed their releases and now I'm kicking myself.

via FB, on sale in Asda, apparently.

Asda is a supermarket chain, bought out by Walmart a few years back

strange days

Very strange (and I'm going looking for it in my lunch-break...)

Might not mean anything. Their Legends of the Imperalis Guardiones book came out on the GW site 6 months or more before Amazon will get it. Irking because I paid full price

**Pilau Rice**

9.99 isn't too bad I guess, at least you get a decent sized book which is better than a lot of the model ones you get where you might get a few tiny pieces of plastic for the same amount.

You also get additional stuff as well. It will be interesting to see which other stories they have.

It is a bit of an odd thing to do though and I am not sure if this is going to take off or not. I might pick up one of the previoulsy out of print ones. There seems to be an awful lot of books though.

**Asuo**

I collected the Marvel collection this way, humm gonna have to make more room under the bed i suppose.

**MajorWesJanson**

So yet another edition of existing novels as singles instead of new novels or at least omnibus editions.

**reds8n**

Fret not, these are UK and R.O.I only anyway

**Asuo**

And I've signed up, for the first issues at least.

I would fret actually.

Blood Dragon was supposed to come out last December.

**reds8n**

That whole series was cancelled, we won't be seeing Blood Dragon, according to the author.

**Drakheart**

Any idea when this starts? I would like to subscribe, but I'm about to move house so would like to start it after I move.

**reds8n**

issue #1 was purchased today in Asda, so one assumes it's active as of now.

http://warhammer40klegends.com/next-issue

lists the 1st 5 issues -- although bit of a mix up with regards to numbers 4 & 5 it seems.

**Sir Samuel Buca**

Well, I've subscribed to it, I like to have a bulging bookshelf, and there's a few of these in the first 5 that I've lost over the years and would live to own again, so seemed like a no brainer to me.

When you subscribe to it you get the choice of which issue to start with, so i think you'll be ok coming back to it in a couple of months.

**ADarke**

I really wish this was available in the US. Stupid that it is not.

**Yaraton**

I like the choice of free gifts. It's too bad it's not available to us and I red almost all those books they are planning to re-print.

**Sersi**

I so want that Inquisition mug. The other merch is pretty sweet as well.

**reds8n**

Pics of the special edition.

Certainly looks very nice indeed.

Too steep for me one suspects however.

**tomball0706**

Right, dont want to sound like a bit of an idiot here, but these are the whole books aren't they in the legends series, not just snip outs from the books cause the first heretic book just seems a tad skimpy on the size of the book...

**kronk**

They are going to do non-special editions, right? I thought I read that.

Yes.

That is one mighty fine looking book... I was hoping the limited editions would be around £25 but unless it's a very small book I doubt it. The standard hardback is on Amazon at $17.50 American which is the list price for the beast arises novels so that £12.99 in real money.

**Yaraton**

I wonder if the Primarchs series will focus solely on the main characters. I would rather know more about the personal interactions between the Primarchs than how they grew up. Well, except for Alpharius, obviously.

"Contains world exclusive content"

That's it black library, what you really needed was more work that only a very small number of people will ever read.

As somebody that owns a lot of black library books already I don't see the point in signing up to this, but if there's a way to pick up individual issues then it would be a good way of picking up some out of print stuff I've missed. The trouble is these kind of collections tend to disappear from the local newsagents after the first few issues.

Odd that I haven't seen them advertise this at all, but then that's not strange for GW I guess.
