System Sound Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 7 hours ago, Sothalor said: It is not confirmed. People are jumping to the conclusion that it'll be at least three because of the art for Volume 2. But... While true, I don't think that it's the only reason to think it's gonna be more than 2 volumes. There's mutiple plot points to tie up, and multiple more to set up. Not to mention it's Dan abnett. He tends to get carried away while writing. He admitted as much in Magos after word, since that was supposed to be just a short story. And he probably wants to do this story justice by writing a proper ending, since he has a tendency to rush said endings, because of his overindulgence on plot.

DarkChaplain Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Keep in mind that Abnett also said in the last video interview that the entire book was already written. It's finished. The splitting is happening at the editorial stage, because it's a mammoth novel they can't feasibly publish as a shelf-brick. Whether it's two or three volumes in the end is not really something down to Abnett anymore, but corporate, including the editors figuring out good end points for each. ...unless they go back and ask him to actually write more to bulk out the shorter tome.

chevalierdulys Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 The special edition should be the same as previous ones like armageddon? 60€ or 70€? With less than 1500 copies they won't last a couple of hours I expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually has me excited now. I do like how he is using a character that was on Armageddon but is not someone like Hyperion, and rather than take the easy (easier) answer of picking up Hyperion from ADB, he's writing basically a new character. We need more new characters in 40k that aren't primarchs DarkChaplain, Roomsky and Kelborn 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubiquitous1984 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I’m just planning my audiobook listening schedule for the coming weeks - does anyone know the actual day that SoT book 8 will be released (as in, when I could go to the Warhammer shop to physically buy it?) I want to make sure I’ve re-listened to book 7 just before book 8 comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a list of all of them ever? There’s nothing public that I know of, but some people may be tracking that privately. I know a few fraters keep spreadsheets/notes of what BL puts out. Track of Words has been keeping track (no pun intended) of BL releases since 2020 on his website, which would give you a partial list: https://www.trackofwords.com/2020/01/11/keep-track-of-upcoming-black-library-releases/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylerboodie Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 This is my list of Black Library special/limited editions; excludes The Horus Heresy main series, Siege of Terra, The Primarchs, multi-volume box sets, and anything on the Old World / Age of Sigmar side. I think its pretty comprehensive for 40K but there may well be some missing Iron Warrior Daenyathos The Unkindness of Ravens Mephiston: Lord of Death Rebirth The Talon of Horus Sons of Wrath Sabbat Crusade Skitarius Lemartes: Guardian of the Lost Tech-Priest Asurmen: Hand of Asuryan Ragnar Blackmane Cassius Shrike Warden of the Blade Fabius Bile: Primogenitor Azrael Dante Warlord: Fury of the God Machine Vaults of Terra: The Carrion Throne Jain Zar: The Storm of Silence Titanicus Dark Imperium The Horusian Wars: Resurrection Black Legion Watchers of the Throne: The Emperor's Legion The Warmaster The Magos Lukas the Trickster Imperator: Wrath of the Omnissiah The Lords of Silence Blood of Iax Spear of the Emperor Black Fortress Celestine: The Living Saint Kal Jerico: Sinner's Bounty Apocalypse Valdor: Birth of the Imperium Darkness in the Blood Mark of Faith Ephrael Stern: The Heretic Saint Indomitus Avenging Son Blackstone Fortress: Ascension Luther: First of the Fallen Ravenor Astorath: Angel of Mercy The Helwinter Gate Siege of Terra, Book Five: Mortis The Gate of Bones The Swords of Calth: a Uriel Ventris Novel Penitent Ravenor Returned Dark Imperium: Godblight Ghazghkull Thraka: Prophet of the Waaagh!

chevalierdulys Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Thank you Both. I've collected some innitial special editions back when they starting coming out like Iron Warrior or Daenyathos but then I kept buying the normal epaperback. Now I have some more buying I am trying to buy the new ones. To be honest buying in ebay or so it's two expensive. I won't pay 100€ for a 50€ book. But at least I got a feeling what exists (as you I have a file of all books since boxtree editions (I have all of them) but I was missing these special editions. Thank you both, Btw @skylerboodie that's really amazing you've got all of those books . Congrats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkChaplain Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Both editions sold out in Germany already, of course. Call me crazy but I'm actually tempted to grab myself an Angron model one of those days, even though he doesn't exactly fit into my modest Khorne Bloodbound AoS warband. Just a very cool model.

Kelborn Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I almost had one but when I wanted to press the final submit botton, I received a message that an article is not available anymore. Was on time and yet, they pulled it right under my feet. Also heard that the side was attacked via a DDOS assault. Hence why the site was slow and took longer to process. Nonetheless, it's again a (sadly) great example of the LE order process. Already saw an eBay offer from Germany about 200+ dollar for Angron....yeah....great Was able to get the hardback though which itself was quickly sold out soon after. Congratulatios to all who were quicker. ;) DarkChaplain 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolmeus Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share Posted February 12, 2023 Well, as mentioned before, next saturday is Black Library celebration and the next installments of 'Dawn of Fire - The Iron Kingdom' and 'Siege of Terra - The End and the Death Volume 1' are going to be released. Also, the 20th aniversary Edition of 'Angels of Darkness', the readers choice edition of 'Skarsnik' and 'The Macharian Crusade - Angel of Fire'. Also a 'coffe table book' (? maybe something like the 'Sabbat Crusade') of the 'First Founding'. Ah, and there is a regular AoS release for 'The Bad Loon Rising'. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/02/12/sunday-preview-reinforce-the-astra-militarum-and-prepare-for-the-black-library-celebration/ Good luck to everybody. It is going to be one hell to get any book or edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
