theSpirea Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 We got 5 novels so far. Last year we got 7 in Q1. It seems BL is a bit behind. It's almost perfect time to drop some Crime novels, since they aren't tied to any major releases. One can dream...

wecanhaveallthree Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 We've got more chance of getting Iron Hands 3 than Black Legion 3 at this point. Both, of course, are extremely unlikely to be released before Abnett completes his Aeronautica Imperialis trilogy in 2052.

Felix Antipodes Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Are there any more previewed but not yet released novels (not ones we are waiting on)? I seem to recall there are a couple but their titles elude me.

Felix Antipodes Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Thanks for the replies, memory ain’t what it used to be We can (sort of) add the HH anthology to the list as well I suppose, since they have acknowledged it exists.

Bestkeptsecret Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 https://a.co/d/3Z2cMAn A fantastic Warhammer 40,000 novel from Black Library featuring the Astra Militarum. Physically and psychologically conditioned from childhood under the most horrific conditions imaginable, the Tempestus Scions are the Imperium’s deadliest human soldiers – fearsome killers expected to follow their orders ruthlessly and without question. Led by the merciless Tempestor Traxel, the Scions of First Eradicant squad drop directly into the fires of a global civil war. Joined by a commissar who personifies the suffering of his past and facing a foe from the darkest days of the Imperium, Traxel’s fracturing psyche places the entire world at risk. On Rilis, Traxel will face the foe that broke him. This time, there is no price he will not pay.

Fedor Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Are the Crime and Horror imprints pretty much dead now? I've been out of the loop for a while and it's not easy finding anything out about what BL are planning.

Sothalor Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Honestly, these days, who knows? There is no systematic roadmap or communication from the corporation about upcoming plans or releases. We get sporadic, inconsistent announcements about individual titles which may or may not be months away or might just have a special edition pop up on pre-order the following weekend. The trend does appear to be that the Crime and Horror imprints have severely fallen by the wayside. Are they officially discontinued? We'll almost certainly never get direct, explicit word one way or another.

DarkChaplain Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 There's been NO word about the fourth and final book in the only series (excluding the Genevieve reprints) that Horror had. The whole Morghast thing was ditched despite repeatedly stating it was a 4-book-series during advertisement.

theSpirea Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 BL never really states they are done with the series. But the last Crime novel was 24-06-2023 and Horror 04-03-2023. I see people talking about these books and asking for more. Heck, even writers clearly stated they would love to write more. But hey, it doesn't sell as well as the latest plastic-crack accompanying generic bolter porn novel.

Part of me really hopes that the Amazon deal is very successful and they are crying out for more series to expand the IP and they pick up WH Crime and that sparks sufficient interest to revitalise the book series…well I can hope right?

Krelious Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 So I guess its gonna take till 2026 for another ADB novel. I'm guessing they are holding off on BL 3 till they start/end their Scouring series and also possibly release the Horus novel.

Felix Antipodes Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I know a lot of people have been calling for/waiting on a Scouring series (including me) but have we had even one word from BL/GW that such a series is on the way or even being considered? If it does I think it is on hold until HH 3.0 is released, as rumours has it on its way.

darkhorse0607 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 If they aren't working on the Scouring, aren't finishing trilogies, are finishing Dawn of Fire with the next book, aren't announcing anything else, etc Then I once again ask what ARE they doing other than reprinting old novels in a LE format Dalmyth and cheywood 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384814-upcoming-bl-stuff-2025/page/12/#findComment-6101210 Share on other sites More sharing options...
