I AM A MARINE PLAYER
"Unimaginably ancient xenos artefact somewhere on the planet, hive fleet poised above our heads, hidden 'stealer broods making an early start....and now a bloody Chaos cult crawling out of the woodwork just in case we were bored. Welcome to my world, Ciaphas."
Inquisitor Amberley Vail, Ordo Xenos
"I will admit that some Primachs like Russ or Horus could have a chance against an unarmed 12 year old novice but, a full Battle Sister??!! One to one? In close combat? Perhaps three Primarchs fighting together... but just one Primarch?" da001
I actually have really enjoyed the Horror and Crime novels I’ve read so far.
Flesh & Steel was very good in audio form. Helped along by a good narrator perhaps, but very enjoyable

Did anyone here get the "Art of Warhammer"? I always get annoyed that GW never shows a nice "here's a dozen pages" or a "flip through" for books like that
Does anyone know what is going on with the limited edition Siege of Terra: Warhawk?
Amazon appear to have the regular book up for pre-order in about a month's time, but IIRC the limited edition versions usually came out many months before the regular hardback.
I don't think I've missed the limited release have I? Maybe just another global shipping\covid release schedule mess up?

Bear in mind Amazon only shows what the publisher tells them and most categories are not actively managed , so it could literally go past Amazon’s release date and still not be actually out , customers just get a “we’re struggling to supply this” email and a “no expected date” email. Happens on other books a lot though usually US import ones.

I really like Dan Abnett's comment that the Horus Heresy is telling 5 or 6 different stories. Sometimes I think Warhammer 40k is easier if you think of it as all the different alternate universes of the 41st millennium all stacked together and mixing through the Warp.
Available for pre-order from Black Library next weekend is the sixth book of the Siege of Terra series, Warhawk. This gripping tale by Chris Wraight describes Jaghatai Khan and his audacious gambit to liberate the Lion’s Gate space port from his daemonically empowered brother Mortarion.
All around him, slaughter reigns as the Traitor Legions gain more and more ground on Terra – can the White Scars and their Primarch stand strong against the Death Guard?
The limited edition is full of all the additional illustrations and details that you’ve come to expect from these luxurious releases, including a faux leather cover, gold gilt page edges, and a ribbon bookmark. You can also pre-order Warhawk in ebook and MP3 audiobook formats.

Not having to wait x-amount of months for the regular edition of Warhawk to drop is great news, now we wait for them to update the Siege site with the next map.

No queue either, I thought the whole point was for stuff like this. I had 2 fail and one payment make it through. There’s still 2 left in the series, I’m not sure I have the energy. Never doing a series in limited edition from them again.
Oh.,, bottoms. This release completely slipped under my radar. I was expecting more of a fanfare rather than being tucked away at the end of a warhammer community email.
Ah feth, wanted to order the regular hardback of Warhawk alongside Grim Repast to save on shipping, but the latter has already sold the feth out, great.
