cheywood Posted Wednesday at 01:57 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:57 PM (edited) That’s four new novels revealed/leaked this week. Seems like the year’s really turning around in terms of novel releases. We’re at 24 so far, assuming nothing that’s been announced gets delayed into next year. My guess is we’ll see 3-4 more books announced for November/December and end up around 28 on the year. I’d say the average quality of releases has been okay this year as well. Most years BL puts out some absolute bangers and some duds. This year it feels like everything has been pretty good. The downside is that none of it’s particularly incredible either. Hopefully BL comes through with a major surprise in the fall.

SteveAntilles Posted Wednesday at 02:15 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:15 PM I really enjoyed Outgunned, so looking forward to this sequel! Be my first Black Library purchase this year. Firedrake Cordova 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roomsky Posted Wednesday at 02:26 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:26 PM New Lucille Von Schard let's :cuss:in gooooooooo! Very stoked for that. King of the Spoil was great and I hope Beer's able to keep the quality up for a "proper" 40k book. I've never really clicked with MacNiven but seeing an author return is always good news. Hoping he gets to write Carcharodons 3 if he's so inclined. cheywood, Casual Heresy, Ubiquitous1984 and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylerboodie Posted Wednesday at 02:42 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:42 PM Not only is it nice to see some more books on the way soon, also glad that they're not all special editions for a change.

grailkeeper Posted Wednesday at 03:18 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:18 PM Outgunned was excellent. Very like Cain but that bit grittier. The sequel is an autobuy for me. I don't know Jonathan Beer but the cover of that is great. I guess I'll judge the book by the cover. skylerboodie 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LemartestheLost Posted Wednesday at 03:18 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:18 PM Going to be picking up all of these *wallet gently weeps*. I’m most excited for the Ad Mech novel because it doesn’t feature Cawl. I think Haley writes Cawl superbly well but at the same time he’s just a single cog in the machine. Lots of other tech priests deserve to have their story told. Otherwise, looking forward to the follow up on Outgunned and I’m a sucker for successor chapters so thumbs up all around here.

DarkChaplain Posted Wednesday at 03:51 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:51 PM I guess Denny can finally talk about this now rather than just hinting about something being close, huh? :') Just don't get why they didn't officially announce the Coteaz novel, too. They didn't even do that on the miniature post... Casual Heresy, Firedrake Cordova, cheywood and 1 other 2 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know very little about the Exorcists beyond their gimmick so I'm actually really curious about this books, will give it a read for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently his other novel, King of the Spoil, is excellent and funnily enough it’s next up in my “to read” pile as soon as I finish Vraks.

Taliesin Posted Wednesday at 08:55 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:55 PM The Admech book and the Exorcists book definitely look very interesting and very likely to purchase those. Great covers on all 3 books. I've never read about the Exorcists, didnt even know that they were actually willingly possessed, that is very intriguing.

KaosRaptor Posted Wednesday at 11:02 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:02 PM Are Robbie MacNiven's books usually well received? Never read any of his stuff but Exorcists are my chapter so I may look at picking up Oaths of Damnation. I wasn't exactly stoked with how they were written in the White Dwarf Index Astartes a while back, so I don't know if I should be excited about GW writing more about them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s great in lots of ways, not least the way it explores the real, practical implications the Cult Mechanicus has on the life of everyday folk. I really miss Warhammer Crime… And on the subject of Robbie McNiven- he’s pretty consistently good. His background in military history shines through too- notably in his AoS ‘Scourge of Fate’- and his combat scenes are top notch.

It's the only one left now, and Sanguinius was released over 18 months ago. McNeill didn't mention it (or anything else) in his last interview, so maybe it went back to the drawing board, maybe it's been scrapped entirely and not happening, maybe it'll come out in 2028, maybe it'll actually be eight hundred pages of Tarik Torgaddon slapping ass and kicking butt with his Mournibros.
