  1. Warhammer community post: https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/hwb2kldr/black-library-open-submission-2025-write-your-two-favourite-characters-into-a-scene/ Terms and Conditions stuff: https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/p8ppmwsz/black-library-submissions-policy/
  2. Courtesy of Facebook, a big ol' anthology series for the Scouring seems to have leaked. Album here.
  3. Hey there, we've been waiting for two years until we finally got a long desired novel about the "recently" introduced "new" faction that is the Leagues of Votann. It was rather quickly sold out (both version) but to my surprise, it hasn't been talked about in here. Is the interest simply non existing or what happened? I, for one, wasn't able to get a copy due to my missing the release but still. Someone should/ might've read or started it by now, right? Very curious about your thoughts about this one. Please, don't turn this into another "Oh god it's Gav" threads. We had our very share of such posts in the past. Imho, his worldbuiling in Luther was superb (and the novel itself) so that's probably what I'm most intrigued of. Cheers, Kel
  4. Many years ago, Laurie Goulding( Writer and editor for BL during lot of time. Now, he is Narrative Director of the League Studio Creative eXpressions Team at Riot Games Inc) intervened in a forum (now closed and lost most of the information on it) gave Black Library's official Primarch discovery order. Thankfully, this information was rescued and posted again here, but after so many years some few notes must be added. Anyway, this still looks like canonical. Well, as much canonical something about Warhammer can be, from GW! I add some extra notes at the end. Horus Lupercal* Leman Russ [DELETED FROM IMPERIAL RECORDS]** Ferrus Manus Fulgrim Vulkan Rogal Dorn Roboute Guilliman Magnus the Red Sanguinius Lion El'Jonson Perturabo Mortarion Lorgar Aurelian Jaghatai Khan Konrad Curze Angron Corvus Corax [DELETED FROM IMPERIAL RECORDS] Alpharius Omegon*** Notes: *Officially, Horus was the first recovered Primarch but in the novel Alpharius: Head of the Hydra, Alpharius himself states that he was the first Primarch recovered, hidden by the Emperor and Malcador for secret purposes. He was recovered in Terra, in Zharinam (aka Zhari Namco) Plateau. Remember, is Alpharius. Can be true or not... ** The Primarch of the Second Legion, according the Book Fulgrim: The Palatine Phoenix. So, the other is the Eleventh Primarch, the 19th recovered. ***Instead of Alpharius,was Omegon, his twin brother. Stated by Alpharius in Alpharius: Head of the Hydra. Same counsel as above (See *). Hope you can find this useful.
  5. + Epilogue + I was there. I was always there. I was there that day, when Horus slew the Emperor... The words cling to my being even as the world Ends around me, the Death promised so long ago. It is the only thing I hear. Here at my Death, at the End of my duties the realization burns like a pyre light in the darkness of the Sea of Souls. My eyes bore witness to many things. Stories and secrets, forbidden rites, and arcana. For I was there. I was there that day, at the Whisper Heads, on 63-19. I was there when the laws of our universe were undone. When brother first fought brother by the whims of the Warp. I fought on both sides... I was there... I remember the first time a questioned you, the first time I felt doubt in my heart. My Father who knew all, but would not tell. I imagine that is how you must have felt towards your own Father? Even before it all. Even as you walked beside him. As I walked beside you. My soul is a tiny thing. A little ember in the swirling universe, yet I can feel their eyes upon me. The last loyal Son of Horus, the last Luna Wolf. Two opposite truths alive and reborn in the same soul. I who learned to kill for the living and dead from my Father who I love. Who I helped kill. The Loyal Traitor. An Ouroboros, the aspect missing in the Old Four's Tarot. I was there the first time you Died... And I now wonder if that Death would have been a mercy. For in the End, in your true Death. You regretted all. The Father I loved conquered the Father they made you become. The one I helped End. I was there... I was there when Istvaan burned from your Heresy. I was there when the Mournival killed itself. I was there, beside Abaddon when Little Horus killed Tarik. I was there... Their wants and desires swirl and coalesce. It pours into me, grafting me with a new name... I was there for all of it... Seven long years of war, the prelude to the Long War. Trillions lives lost, Trillions new Neverborn to fight it. The End of a Dream, the beginning of a Nightmare. The Age of Darkness to birth the Far Future. The Death of the Imperium, for there will only be War. I was there, in Remembrance. I was there in their struggles. I was there when Mersadie Oliton drew her last. Thinking of that pict of the Monster... and the one of Me. I was there when Euphrati Keeler lost and found her Faith, the Blade for the ages to come. I was there for every lecture of Kyril Sindermann. Who thought me the truth of the Warp. I was the man beside them, in the beginning. I was there, a Vengeful Spirit aboard the flagship, as the galaxy burned. I was there, the only name I could hear. I was there beside me. I was all around me. Always. I was... I was there this day, when the Emperor slew Horus.
  6. Hey there, just had a quick look on the Primarch series' cover artist and found this one, which was uploaded about 2 months ago: Maybe it doesn't mean anything at all and I'm purely speculating but somehow, I got the feeling that the Lion might be the next one after Curze. I mean, he's the one doing all the covers for the Primarch series. Him posting a Lion piece, which really looks like said covers is a bit too much of an accident, right? Cheers, Kel
  7. Hey guys, As I started my Death Guard I got pretty sick... laid up in bed and I thought I'd slowly re read Dark Imperium. The first time I went through I whipped through it pretty quick upon release and it was definitely from an Ultra angle. I wanted to slow down and absorb the Death Guard aspect. Aside from the fact I tried to ignore it was at times geared towards a very young audience, I really liked how Death Guard gelled together until it got to the big three... Mort, Typhus and the Great Unclean dude. So here's my question... in all the Heresy novels it's almost repetitive that the Primarch comes off a little slow, and the first captain is usually the smart one, and naturally at odds with his Primarch. With Death Guard I did not think that was the case. But.... SPOILER ALERT: Right before the attack on Ultramar Typhus is chastising Mortarion claiming he is too late, and foolish for waiting for Guilliman to awaken. In fact Typhus makes it sounds like they could have wiped or at least put a very critical amount of damage on the '500' if they'd simply not waited so long to attack. This makes it feel like Mort has a personal vendetta... which I suppose is fine and it's usually why the good guys win. But beyond this first headscratcher the turmoil brewing between Typhus and Mortarion gets pretty bad. It seems Typhus accuses Mort of not fully accepting Nurgle into his life (like it's a cult or something). You get the sense Typhus wants Mort to feel second to him.... as in Typhus is the chosen of Nurgle, and Mort is just witness to all of his discoveries. Typhus also mentions discovering Nurgle first, and bringing it to Mort's attention. It's a weird scene and you're left with Mort feeling like he's got bigger problems on his own end then with Guiliman. I really don't understand it to be honest. Can anyone fill me in on this internal vendetta? They actually have a disdain that I think runs deeper than Ahriman and Magnus (though they seem to have buried the hatchet.)
  8. Apparently this anthology was available during the last weekender and it was either an event-exclusive release or Warhammer World exclusive (I think, from what I have found online). I just heard about it and from what I have been able to read on the wiki the stories seem interesting, however since it's an exclusive release for now I can't read it. Has anyone who was at the weekender bought a copy? If so, how is it?
  9. Hail Sons of Vulkan, I am researching the legends and tales of the Salamanders and compiling a list of future purchases for my own archives. I thought it may be of interest to others seeking lore regarding the chapter. If anyone can share any published stories, eBooks etc. which I have missed, please comment below and I will add the entry into the list. As best as I could, I separated them between the Horus Heresy and the later 40,000 era. Without knowing the stories, I couldn't begin to guess at a chronological order, so alphabetical seemed the wisest method. Using the Black Library, here is the list so far.

  12. FERRYMEN ADEPTUS ASTARTES: REVILERS CHAPTER CONCEPT: NARRATIVE SUMMARY (Max 100 Words): Sergeant Ravyx Atton leads a Phobos Strike Team from the secretive Revilers Space Marine Chapter. When the navigators of a Torchbearer fleet are incapacitated by a psychic trap, becalming them in Magellan’s Crucible – a fluctuating passage through the Cicatrix Maledictum – Atton and his men deploy to the embattled world of Aluxan to sequester their psychic novices, in order to save the fleet and prosecute the will of Roboute Guilliman. Strike Team: Charon must infiltrate and evade the legions of rebels to effect a rescue, and thwart a deadly plot by the Alpha Legion, before time runs out EXTRACT (Max 500 Words): Racing to the door, Atton tore smoke grenades from his body webbing, hurling them down either corridor, before stepping out, sweeping the carbine left and right. Telemetry depicted where the rest of his team were, and they moved as fast as he, efficiently from room-to-room. His foot smashed doors in, then a shock grenade, followed by a sweep of the space with the carbine. He set the weapon stablight to strobe, for maximum disruption, erupting into the confined quarters at the same moment as the pummelling concussion thundered. Heretics were blasted off their feet by the detonation, before the scene became a series of flash-picter images. Atton executed them with tight shots from the suppressed carbine, not a round wasted. He was grateful for the forward grip; the mobility of the weapon was exceptional. Moving to another room, he repeated the sequence, and it sounded like a storm was battling to escape the temple. Great bolts of noise were quelled by the baffles in his auto-senses. Heretics reeled from his attack, hands pressed to cover popped eardrums, before Atton put them out of their misery with a wicked volley. One of them, mutated into a hulking brute, crashed through the wall before he could ready his next bomb. It roared at him, grappling him from behind, in a slew of plaster and stonework. The mutant’s clutching claws snapped the strap on his bolt carbine, sending it spinning away, as the creature barrelled forward, trying to make him a permanent fixture within the opposite wall. The power of his foe was tremendous, muscle-corded arms wrapping his body, trapping his limbs, rivalling his Rubicon-wrought strength. Anger spurred defiance. Atton pushed off with his feet, hurling both combatants back through the jagged gap the mutant had opened, and they tumbled together crunching furniture and ripping down hanging silks. The heretic-beast shifted grip, clamping its paw over his face, fingers fused into two long talons, hooking onto his skull mask and trying to wrench his helmet off. The change gave him a chance, and he got his left arm free, seizing a broken table leg and thrusting it up behind him where his Lyman’s Ear discerned the enemy’s voice box. Clotted, guttural bellowing announced his success, and he twisted the stake, breaking it off, the pressure on his ribs vanishing as the brute grasped to remove the painful splinter. As they writhed, rolling across the floor, the mutant trapped Atton’s neck more by luck than skill, but even as the pressure warning indicator flared dangerous amber sigils, Atton’s hand closed on his heavy bolt pistol. Four shots pumped into the brutal knot of twisted muscle behind him. He didn’t care where he was hitting, Atton trusting that the Emperor’s ordained tools would do the work. The mutant howled even as its organs were pulverised, a strangled human note to the plaintive cry, before Atton punched the barrel under its blubbery chin, and blew its mismatched, horned head off in a shower of red-grey gruel. ++++++++++
  13. I know many of us are anxiously awaiting Dan Abnett’s TEATD Vol. 2 (maybe 3 as well, who the feth knows?) and that once Dan puts a bow on the Heresy, a lot of people are going to want BL to pursue a series following the events of the Scouring. I personally am not a fan of this idea, as it feels like so much of the “mystery” of that age has been explained or clarified by the Heresy series and I think the setting as a whole loses a bit of charm when it’s all spelled out. Not to mention the fact that I think it would be a suboptimal use of BL’s current resources. The DoF books need to be wrapped up, as well as probably 7-8 other trilogies/sequels that people are dying to read for 40k. After the editing woes and mixed reception of the Dawn of Fire series, I’m not sure I trust Kyme and Co. to start another series right after the marathon that was the Heresy just yet. The last thing I want is another Beast Arises fiasco. I’d love to hear y’all’s thoughts on the matter! Cheers, LTL
  14. For those wondering about this novel https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/01/17/gary-kloster-interview-master-lazarus-crossing-the-rubicon-primaris-and-his-first-feature-novel/ Also, GW confirms that Belial is also crossing the Rubicon, not only Asmodai, which makes him the first Terminator character to do so.
  15. WarCom Article. This leaked a while back, however it's nice to see a proper Vraks novel at last; and it does lend fuel to the fire of a wider plastic DKoK expansion in the future.

Disregard this post if something similar has been posted already, but I'm brand new to B&C so here goes :) A lot is happening with the Lion, Vashtorr, and the Arks of Omen story at the moment, but aside from the obligatory Lion book and the inevitable Ultra book about fighting 'nids in Pacificus, what is everyone looking forward to/hoping for from Black Library in the current timeline- through the end of 10th? GW has to have the brotherly reunion at some point and a lot of folks are still waiting for the third Bequin book, not to mention the Blood Angels'/ Dante's new role in Nihilus. I'd love to hear your hopes & dreams, leave them below!
  18. I was there… After 63 books and 17 years, the story of the Horus Heresy will finally come to its close with The End and the Death. It's been a long, sometimes bumpy, but more often than not epic road from Horus Rising to here. While reading certain moments of the recently released The End and the Death Volume 1 I was honestly feeling quite moved by the fact that we have now actually reached the finishing line of this journey that started all the way back in 2006. For a series with such an impossibly high page-count as the HH and with such an enormous mountain of stories published under its banner, the question of "What's the best reading order?" has basically become its own genre among fans by now. In response to this, there are plenty of "Just the hits"-rundowns, "Avoid at all costs"-blacklists, trackers for specific Legions and Primarchs, or the awesome achievement of Black Librarium’s series spanning web of connections...They're all out there and all have their worth, in my opinion. And honestly? It's just fun to create these kinds of things. It's fun to think about a series that one has spent so much time with, it's fun to dissect it, to edit it, to try to make sense of it. That's one of the reasons I've always loved playing around with reading orders, or why I'm always delighted to talk about this when a friend asks me where to go next in the series. With regards to a reading order and the question of the perfect way to publish the Horus Heresy I was always fond of omnibuses. Black Library at one point got serious with bundling the HH into sensible story-packages and started releasing the HH in omnibus format: Crusade's End, The Razing of Prospero and The Last Phoenix. Those three books all collected two or three novels of the burgeoning series alongside a chosen handful of the scattered novellas and short-stories into a story package that guided a reader right along a chosen thread of the Heresy-web. I loved them! But alas, it was not meant to last: Black Library stopped producing further omnibuses and eventually even stopped selling the existing ones. Still, the idea of omnibuses for the HH had stuck with me, and I kept throwing together reading orders for my custom "omnibuses" for fun. In 2021, I decided to get serious with this and started a personal, series-spanning project: +++ The Horus Heresy Omnibus Project: https://www.heresyomnibus.com +++ What I present there is a reading order that assembles every Horus Heresy novel, novella and short story into a network of twenty-one (theoretical) omnibuses. The result is a fully-grown website that's supposed to help navigate and hopefully entice people to engage with this humongous, mad, epic literary series that has accompanied me and so many other fans for such a long time and will hopefully entertain new readers for years to come. Along the way I started collaborating with the incredibly talented pixel artist Eric Alloway, who had started painting pixel versions of Horus Heresy characters on his Twitter account . We both liked what the other one was doing and decided to join forces. As a result, the website is now littered with pixel versions of all the major Horus Heresy characters, which should make browsing the page fun for veterans and newcomers alike. A friend of mine with experience in software engineering completes our three-man team and takes care of the IT-side of things, of which I understand next to nothing. The website has been way over a year in the making and I hope that both existing fans that eagerly await the final Volume of The End and the Death to hit the shelves as well as newcomers who are just starting to get interested in The Horus Heresy and Warhammer 40,000 find the site useful or at least fun to browse. It would mean a lot to us if fans of these books would engage with and enjoy what we’ve built here, so if you like what you see, please spread the word! We’re also happy to receive constructive feedback to further improve the site. The site will also be the place where I will publish reviews, blog posts, interviews and my long-form analysis of Warhammer books through the lens of different schools of psychology, so if you're interested in this it might be worth a visit and return from time to time. Currently available are Stories told by Monsters, an analysis of Josh Reynolds’s Fabius Bile- and Lukas the Trickster- novels through the lens of Narrative Therapy, and The Dark Coil in contact with Gestalt therapy, an analysis of Peter Fehervari's Dark Coil series through the lens of Gestalt Therapy. Down the line I have a project in the works about a certain Angel and his murderous vigilante brother, so if you're interested in that, stay tuned. For orientation, I recommend starting out with the first omnibus or taking a look at the FAQ. We've also opened threads about the project on Twitter and Reddit, so if you are active there, come and say hi!

  20. Hello Fraters, This is a public release to advise that the Cabal of Dead Ink will hopefully be publishing its first PDF project for general availability through the Downloads section soon. (Pending Admin approval etc). The release will be an original short story set in the run up to the Badab War, featuring new or barely known characters, and will hopefully be the first in a series from different perspectives and POV of both the Loyalists and Secessionist forces. It will also contain original artwork (covers and maybe interior art) of the same subject. It will not be a graphic novel product. You can rest assured that all artwork will be board and subject appropriate. The reason for this notice is to not only create interest, but also to prevent any concerns of improper use of the artwork. You can see one of our previous Notices of Interest for Graphic Designers/Digital Artists. We have sourced work from a professional artist called Dan Morison, who has been very generous in allowing us to use his art for this purpose, without remuneration as per GW IP Policy. We have permission to use it, and an email chain to provide evidence of what was agreed. Further, he will receive proper accreditation in the publications we make. The Cabal of Dead Ink would like to use this opportunity to highlight Dan's great style, and to give our public thanks to him for his trust and support. We would encourage anyone interested to go and see his stuff. We are still continuing with our plan in creating a BL Submissions Anthology, which will showcase the work of those who gave their shot to the recent Open Submissions window, but may have been declined, missed the window, or decided not to proceed for whatever reason. We are also working with Fraters within this forum to enhance and support our work with formatting and artistic skills, such as @TheTrans We look forward to discussing this further with any interested parties. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to PM me, or respond below, and I'll reply as soon, and as fully, as I can. I would also like to thank the help and support of the Cabal with getting us all this far. A lot of work goes on behind the scenes, for which I am eternally grateful. The Secession, and our Story, continues. Maz.
  21. Has anyone had a chance to read this one yet? I just recently got mine and am planning to start reading it this weekend. I’ve heard Dorn plays a part in the story.
  22. WarCom Article. Was wondering when we'd get the next Siege of Terra novella. I guess this'll be the "Garro dies" book.
