The cards makes me wish GW did more long term artbooks! I'd love to see a collected history of GW art like that - The Covers of White Dwarf (There's several hundred pages worth of art from classic to modern); The Imperium - Space Marines - Tyranids - Eldar etc...

They've just a huge library - sadly whenever we get the few artbooks they tend to be really short term products which means if you dont' get them in a week or two they are gone .

Yeah just seen them on the site. They're exclusive, I assume to events. Wish I knew that this weekend! I didn't buy anything for myself at fest but I would've bought them.

I picked up a set along with this year's Primarch short story event collection. The cards have nice artwork and everything but it isn't themed particularly well. For example, shouldn't Horus be the King of one of the suites and not just randomly on the 3 of diamonds?

I'm not sure I'll use them as an actual deck of cards, they seem like they would scuff quite quickly, so I think I'll turn them into some sort of display piece.

Horror week at Black Library: https://www.blacklibrary.com/all-products/warhammer-horror-week-subscription-2019.html

Secrets in the wilds. Hidden truths brought to the surface. Miracles that turn into nightmares. Danger lurking in the dark. A welcome that's not all it seems. You'll encounter all of this and more in this week-long celebration of the dark and sinister side of Warhammer – subscribe now to ensure you don't miss a story.

Whether you're already a fan of Warhammer Horror, or want to dip in a toe and see what the new imprint has to offer, this selection of stories is a perfect way to get a dose of delicious danger every day this week.

4 eBooks | 3 MP3 audiobooks


First one is up:



When witch hunter Bered Davan sets out on the trail of a vile contagion that plagues Ghyran, he discovers something altogether deeper, darker and more terrifying…

READ IT BECAUSE
Explore how Chaos continues to thrive in the shadows cast by the light of Sigmar's heroes, and how the heroes who seek it out face horrors untold…

THE STORY
For many long years through the Age of Chaos, the lands of Ghyran suffered under the yoke of the servants of Nurgle. Disease wracked the lands, and life became an unending cycle of horror and misery. Then came light, in the form of the Stormcast Eternals, Sigmar's celestial heroes. Yet light cannot destroy darkness, as Bered Davan has learned. A witch hunter, he is no stranger to the vile things that lurk in the Mortal Realms, but as he hunts the source of a contagion, he will be tested as never before…

I digged it. A creeping sense of dread throughout the short story. Picture the movie "It Follows", but with an entire spectral army coming after you and a twist ending. Worth the purchase, imo.

The second AoS Horror short from last week "He Feasts Forever" was decent as well. Its about a cook who is preparing a feast for his Kings return and starts to see disturbing things. Not a big surprise at the reveal for anyone with passing familiarity to a certain Death faction, but was still creepy to see a more intimate look at how that faction operates/thinks.

edit: On second thought, might be better to buy them in a collected format. I'm an AoS fanboy so the price was worth it to me, but they are not lying about the "short story" part. Haven't read any of the 40K shorts yet, but aim to do so this week.

Actually no, it wasn't. In the original material, both Ferrus and Vulkan disappeared at Istvaan. It was heavily implied they had died, but not outright stated anywhere I every saw. The decision to explicitly kill Ferrus(and then, just to rub it in, make Vulkan an unkillable Perpetual) was taken for the HH novel series specifically.

Well, could be worse. Could be the abomination that is the Clan Raukaan fluff...


I have just got round to reading the supplement, and bloody hellfire is it bad. Like, making the Iron Hands seem overtly traitorous bad. Whoever wrote this either hates the Iron Hands and wanted to see them destroyed as a concept, or was an intern who wrote it in about an hour with the barest knowledge of Iron Hands (and Imperial) fluff, and how to write characters who are good at their jobs. Utterly terrible. They keep mentioning "cold logic" in the same sentences as staggeringly stupid logic a ten year old could see the mile-wide flaws in.

After some of the interviews and Dan's remarks during his Voxcast interview, I am somewhat interested in this and tentatively looking forward to this one.

How substantial are the classic Inferno! Magazine things they're releasing? There isn't any indication of page number or even the size of the pages themselves, so i really have no idea if these are White-Dwarf sized magazines or something smaller than that. I'm not sure if these are magazines or just books styled like them, even. Seems like they might only be available until tommorow unless i've got something wrong, but thinking of getting them...didn't realize the other ones were time-limited before!

They're about the size of a usual BL paperback.. Just under an inch or so thick.

Small magazines really, smaller than regular sized magazines, around 60 odd pages, with three to five stories per issue, one or two short comics, sometimes art features on things like vehicles, equipment or military campaigns.

I collect them for the sake of having a slice of Black Library history, but fair warning, a lot of these stories are very dated and really early days BL. But it's awesome to see where big names like Dan Abnett got their start.

I've got a picture inside a couple of pages there. They are neat books and I think if you like the lore and short stories they are good fun. There's early adventures of some of the latter big names in both characters and authors. Some of these will be collected up in short story compendiums, but some of the characters that never made it out of the series are still unique to them - along with all the comics and other short bits.

I think if you find Warhammer settings fun you'll like them. note the price GW is charging is around what I've seen them going for second hand on ebay - though that's only a casual glance mind the price might well have shifted around.
