Are there going to be more copies of the art book available at launch? Or is that it? Are stores getting any copies?

New website or no, I can’t get anything before it sells out.

Managed to get a copy of the artbook through my local discounter, though had to get Riders of the Dead through the GW site itself.

Luther is rather good too. So is the Primarch book and the new Johnson returns book. I accidentally listened to the primarch book right before the johnson returns book and it was actually pretty cool. The personality changes were extensive but they were well done.

I've only read 3 or 4 of those this year - but heck I voted for Blightslayer even if my 2nd favourite character is missing for the entire book!

Huh, I also had not read or listened to most of those. I voted for Cypher cause it was genuinely a decent book.

No changes. Finished Da Big Dakka, and the Cypher is a better read. DBD while still fun, felt like too much of the same, and other author's orkish books like Warboss, Da Gobbos Revenge or especially Brutal Kunnin' awesomenes are both better written and entertaining.

I'm not actually surprised. It's actually a fun book and well done. And the Primarch, while not lovable, is genuinely likable. And it's an easy read that didn't really require any background knowledge at all and wasn't 9000pgs long that spent 1000 of them describing a bolter casing

I am shocked at End and Death Vol 2 and 3 being so high.

So I've been patiently waiting for March to come around, I order the proper size of Echoes of Eternity, and today Amazon tell me it's been delayed to That's OK Yanks, We Didn't Want It Anyway Day.

You'd think MMPB didn't get the HH to the bestsellers list or something.

Amazon has been having a lot of unexplained delays with books as of late, a preorder of my own got delayed from late January to.. sometime September now?

With literal Pirates messing up shipping as well as a warzone and other knock on effects; it wouldn't surprise me if more than a few firms are suddenly finding that key materials are getting delayed.

Amazon can also tend to put up stuff really early with whatever date the lister can find. So sometimes stuff is up for preorder on a date that's basically impossible and was never intended; but it was some other random date attached to it like the next announcement post about it or such.

It's mostly just to get the listing up by whoever listed the item.

Yeah, I am surprised The Bloat & The Cashgrab got 7th, 3rd, and 2nd especially seeing it tried nothing new, it contained no groundbreaking revelations or surprises, it didn't tie up dozens of plotlines that needed a conclusion vastly more than the parade of literally whos the book turned out to be, it was just that old two page story blown up to 57848395 pages while having no decency to include a single page of aftermath (which would be by necessity mostly new stuff)

It really should be just one position on the voting list and even then, it's sad it made it to top 10 when way better books ended up outside of it...
