Sothalor Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 This is probably the mass market paperback edition, which follows the trade paperback edition. Matcap86 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheywood Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 WarCom’s posted a preview article for Spear of Faith, and Fnac has a bunch of Sisters short stories listed for early July: https://www.fnac.com/e65968/Black-Library?SFilt=1!34 Based on those dates I’m guessing we’ll see the novel go up for preorder on the 29th. Although that’s also when new AOS comes out, and we all know BL would never release a limited edition novel at the same time as a new game edition. Right guys? skylerboodie 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkChaplain Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Lelith Hesperax regular hardcover edition is slated for July 30 on Amazon Not excited at all for even more sisters stories, though. Another week of them, on top of all the novels... I'm actually missing Space Marines at this point, can you believe it? cheywood, System Sound, darkhorse0607 and 4 others 1 5 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzirhan Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Probably an outlier on this, but pity to me that we're not getting a Sisters of Battle Novel from James Swallow with his characters Miriya and Verity, wonder if this plethora of Sisters novel has to do with the new codex and models, but then again we're getting no genestealers cult related novels, with the genestealer cults being released at the same time so bang goes that theory, been busy with things but saw someone mentioned on Robbie MacNiven, he appears to be fully focused these days, based on his X (twitter account) on military history and writing books on that SteveAntilles 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkhorse0607 Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Ironically my partner got me the Ultramarine one around 6 months ago from Amazon. I'm interested to see if it's the same one and then if it's double the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheywood Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 (edited) Ahriman Undying has been given a new, for realz release date of July 27th on Fnac. Preorder on the 13th. I went to the effort of buying it from Fnac when it was mistakenly released there. It’s a good book and provides a nice conclusion to this Ahriman duology (although I don’t think BL has acknowledged it as such). Interesting use of structure and vivid language, as you’d expect from French. A little unsatisfying in some ways though. I don’t think either of French’s recent Ahriman works rise to the heights of his original trilogy unfortunately.

theSpirea Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Not related to 40K/HH but it seems GW is mainly using WH Community page to announce new stuff since they completely abandoned the Coming Soon section https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/06/19/witness-the-events-that-transformed-tahlia-vedra-into-the-lioness-of-the-parch/ (I disliked all stuff by Dicken so far but this is a killer cover) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzirhan Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 They could do better with the WH Community effort, recent feature on Sisters of Battles also includes section on novels to read (only 3 never mind there's a whole lot more actually) but just talks on novels and show covers of them but no direct link to order the novels from BL (along with not mentioning said novels available only in e-format) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preliminary Bombardment Posted Saturday at 10:37 AM Share Posted Saturday at 10:37 AM Been busy reading some other fantasy stuff, big change from a few years ago where every second novel was a 40k one. Where the heck are they? Last decent new thing I read was Chris Wraights dawn of fire novel. I've still to read King of the Spoil at least, but I want some Guard, anything by ABD, Fehevari. C'mon Games Workshop!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkhorse0607 Posted Sunday at 05:05 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:05 PM Not 40k, but the only Black Library related thing next week is Kloster's Skaventide Roomsky 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkChaplain Posted Monday at 04:05 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:05 PM ....WarCom put up an article of "The Seven Best Black Library Audiobooks to Build Skaventide To" Guess what's not on the list? Correct, THE TIE-IN NOVEL TO SKAVENTIDE THAT'S COMING OUT ON THE SAME DAY! Heck, they didn't even put Hamilcar or Stormvault on there, both of which actually feature Skaven... I'm amazed, once again.

He raced through the book in a single day, then went straight onto the internet to register his disappointment. He starts off by saying he went into it with an open mind, but then says he doesnt like Lyons' writing, found Lyons' last Krieg book to be boring, and the one before that was a slog. He ends the review by saying the finale confirmed his worst fears about the book! Sounds like he went into it expecting it to be bad. And talking about Lyons as "appointing himself non-officially as the Krieg Author" just comes off as petty. The book might be good, might be average, might be bad, but we're unlikely to get an unbiased view from this redditor. skylerboodie, cheywood, Roomsky and 4 others 2 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for saying this - there always seems to be a weird rush to be the first person on reddit to have read the book, and they almost always don't enjoy it and simply love sharing their bile. It was the same after literally every SoT book - sadly these spoiler/opinion posts are then latched onto by the high% of reddit users who never actually read BL books.

Because being first and being negative brings in more karma. I stopped looking at r/40klore long time ago, since most opinions there are based on outdated and/or straight up facts and memes...

wecanhaveallthree Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Quote Typical negative "I want the 1st post" review. Heh heh heh. Write a hundred positive reviews and one negative, 'why you always so negative?' When the books come out, I want to discuss the books. I will give my honest opinion of what I've read and invite others to do the same. Plenty of times I've had glowing things to say - Volpone Glory or Blackstone Fortress, for example - and encouraged people to buy and read just-released novels. For some reason, though, whenever you're anything but raving it's always dismissed with this kind of guff. Nobody gives a damn about imaginary internet points. They want to talk about the book. OP here didn't like it and goes in-depth on characters, plot and pacing with specific references. You might not agree with their take, but let's not pretend they wrote a one-line 'BEHEAD ALL LYONS 0/5 STARS' GoodReads review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
