Brooks is becoming the new Haley with how much he's cranking out, it seems like he has hit his stride with the Xenos stuff I thought the Deldar stuff on his latest Ork book was neat. I thought they could've been their own novel. Well I guess they are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theSpirea Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Why not Stearns? He did pretty nice DE short stories. There are way more competent authors to tackle xenos besides Brooks...

It certainly feels like he has been in flow state for the past year or two! His ork stuff is good, but not my cup of tea. However, with this announcement I’m now tempted to go hunt down a copy of Da Big Dakka so I can compare notes on how he wrote Commoragh itself across works within such a short time frame. Additionally, huzzah for new xenos lore, especially Vect! Edited April 17 by LemartestheLost grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkChaplain Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) That cover art is so good, wow. They really nailed the Lelith-vibe. Edit: Once again disappointed that the discussion of the book seems to be taking place in the news section rather than the Black Library forum.

DarkChaplain Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Quote Chart the continuing history of Warhammer Age of Sigmar in War for the Mortal Realms – a new omnibus collecting companion novels from each edition of the game with new interstitial sections bridging the gaps between major events in the Age of Sigmar. It’s a perfect way to get caught up with the affairs of the Mortal Realms before the new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar lands later this year, with exciting stories by Chris Wraight, Josh Reynolds, and Darius Hinks. This has got to be a new highlight as far as WarCom coverage of Black Library goes. They announce an omnibus without even stating the novels that are included. You can derive that it's going to be (the terrible) Gates of Azyr novella (Wraight), Soul Wars (Reynolds), and Dominion (Hinks), but for feth's sake, WarCom, you can actually name those titles in an upcoming preorder announcement - this is the only one we usually get before books tend to be sold out, after all.

Felix Antipodes Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I was also wondering who was writing the “new interstitial sections”, which they also failed to identify. skylerboodie 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wecanhaveallthree Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 No no DC, you're thinking about this all wrong. Are you not intrigued by the possibility of Mystery Omnibus? Does it not have a seductive allure? Who knows what works it might contain! Indeed, wouldn't it be a fascinating business proposition to gacha-fy their releases in this manner? How many copies will you have to buy to get the super-rare limited Horus Primarch book?! So exciting! I look forward to purchasing TOMES OF WONDER from the Black Library storefront, coming soon(tm).

cheywood Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Looking forward to the next crime anthology in which every short story is uncredited so you have to guess who wrote it. The answer, tragically, is Claude Opus 3. skylerboodie, System Sound, Roomsky and 2 others 1 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkhorse0607 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Someone keep DarkChaplain away from WHC this morning They did an article about getting into AoS lore through books, talked about four books, and mentioned the mystery omnibus at the end. If you weren't paying attention, you might think the four books they mention are the four books you get in the Omnibus since it's in the same article and they're both aimed (according to the article itself) at getting you caught up on AoS. Until you realize that none of the authors previewed are a part of the omnibus, at least according to the cover Not saying it's being misleading on purpose but they really need to do better with how they talk about these things, because this won't be an AoS only issue going forward System Sound, cheywood, The Scorpion and 4 others 6 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheywood Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) 3 hours ago, Bestkeptsecret said: https://amzn.eu/d/5xUoskG (10 September, needs translation) This looks to be a Sororitas novel by Jude Reid set during the Fall of Cadia. It’s titled Aveline: Daemon Breaker and sounds quite exciting: Quote Abaddon's Thirteenth Black Crusade has set the Empire ablaze, bringing entire sectors and countless worlds to ruin. As the Annihilator's malevolent gaze turns to Cadia, the holy hosts of the Adepta Sororitas prepare for the greatest battle of their generation. Celestia Sacresantis Aveline of the Order of the Holy Rose must fulfill one final sacred duty before she can join the Battle for Cadia: securing Orison VIII, a small shrine world within the Cadian Gate. But the simple mission of hunting down a Chaos Sorcerer turns into a deadly game of cat and mouse, and an ancient evil rises on Orison VIII - and it knows her name. If Aveline cannot defeat it, Sacred Terra will pay for her failure in blood. 3 hours ago, Bestkeptsecret said: https://amzn.eu/d/9OdrEhw (12 November, needs translation) This is the German version of Rob Young’s Longshot from last year.

I think those who liked the first trilogy will enjoy it quite a lot. It feels stranger than Eternal was. The narrative is non-linear and I might need a second read through to fully understand it.
