"Note: The previously announced MP3 and eBooks of Final Deployment, Deathworlder and High Khal’s Oath have been delayed."

 

At the very bottom of the preorder article 

 

Uh...... Are they aware that Deathworlder and High Khal's Oath were released last year already, and you can already buy their ebooks and audiobooks just fine? Warcom, pls fix your nonsense.

They'd be mad about that if they could read.

Did Lords of Silence sold out everywhere, even retailers?

I don't order non-LE from GW as their shipping is expensive and previously Eisenhorn illustrated editions were widely available in regular lfgs

yes seems like it, for me the only other side retailer that gets what GW is selling is Fenris Workshop and they sold out but they also have a higher price limit for free shipping. I ended up ordering it from GW and bought a couple paperback books because the Silence book is the same price with shipping as is getting a couple paper backs with it and getting free shipping. 

It is still available on the Oz website ATT

Old Earth is more a Shattered Legions book (with some Eldrad and Narek shenanigans on the side), but goddamn is it a good showing from Vulkan and the Salamanders. The journey from Nocturne is mythic in all the best possible ways.

Question for the Fraters since we don't have a book suggestion thread, is there any actually good Salamanders books out there? I'm looking to pick one up to get into the faction 

 

Audio preferred but not necessary

 

Thank you 

There's only two rules about salamanders books.

 

1. If they're written by Nick Kyme they aren't good.

2. Nobody else is allowed write one.

Another wave of Limited Editions, specifically Assassinorum: Kingmaker, Saints of the Imperium and Voidscarred.

This Special Edition features screen-printed art on the cover, with blue page edges and a ribbon bookmark. Inside, the book is numbered and signed by Robert Rath – who also provides an introduction and additional short story, Assassinorum: Iron Sight.

This slipcase collection contains three books detailing the most highly venerated champions of the Adepta Sororitas: Saint Celestine, Ephrael Stern, and Sister Avra. Celestine by Andy Clark is paired with his short story Celestine: Revelation, while the other two volumes are Ephrael Stern: The Heretic Saint by David Annandale and The Triumph of Saint Katherine by Danie Ware.

The final book poised under the serpentine dagger dripping with ink, ready to transcend into its Special Edition form in an apotheosis of fancy covers and bookmarks, is Voidscarred by Mike Brooks. The Starsplinters – Aeldari corsairs who count Baron Myrin Stormdawn as one of their greatest leaders – are trapped in a running conflict with the Badskab Bukkaneers. Circumstances force them to pair up with the exiled admiral Taenar Leotharan, who just so happens to be from Myrin’s home craftworld of Ilmaren, and sparks fly as the pair clash.

They say "These are revamped tomes" and that Voidscarred is "ready to transcend into its Special Edition form" - but they've not even released the standard edition yet, right?

It was announced in May but I can't remember seeing it released: https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/2thqqbn0/corsairs-vampires-battle-sisters-and-more-star-in-new-black-library-books/ 

Haven’t seen a standard edition of Voidscarred yet, so I expect it will be a joint release with the LE.  Not sure why they are releasing special editions of the others though.  If they are going to punch out SE/LE of previously released stuff their are a ton of stuff from the early BL years (and before) that could do with a re-release.

I would love to see a slipcase edition of Ian Watson’s collected works for instance.

A Dropsite Massacre novel by John French, presumably to tie-in with the new edition (like Cthonian's Reckoning).

Dropsite Massacre presents this tragic betrayal as you’ve never seen it before – from new perspectives and in far greater depth. Written by the award-winning author John French, it follows the loyalist forces dispatched by Rogal Dorn and Malcador the Sigillite to put an end to the rebellion and get the Great Crusade back on track.

 

We’ll follow old faithfuls such as Maloghurst the Twisted and Khârn of the 8th on Isstvan V, alongside newer characters like Castrmen Orth of the Iron Hands and Kaedes Nex, the Blood Crow.

Interesting to see both Scouring and this one now have as mockup paperback.

I really hope they are not following the approach of DoF series, SE+Paperback only and skipping hardbacks. 

That artwork is pretty awesome I will not lie

 

but on a more serious note

 

YOU THOUGHT THE HERESY WAS OVER?! SURPRISE, SECOND HERESY SERIES

They did say the Heresy would become a setting eventually. As long as it’s used selectively I think that’s a wonderful thing. More detail on the Dropsite Massacre from French is desperately needed (as much as fiction can be) 

Yeah, jokes aside I'm not mad about this at all. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I have wanted more Heresy stuff outside of the siege (please, no more siege), maybe they can go back and flesh out some of the legions that got glossed over for the most part, for example, we have Raven Guard here which barely got covered

It's not just a normal heresy. It's Advanced Heresy!

Could this be the Dropsite Massacre book? Releasing on December 3rd 2025.

I double checked with the Fnac and yes it is.

Dang and here I originally thought it was Scouring book 2. 

 

I also hope it'll take some bits from the black books as IIRC French helped Alan Bligh wrote book 3, Extermination.

Pinch me, I must be dreaming.

 

I think this is awesome news, but being an edition launch tie-in I really hope it's not the only one of its kind. Isstvan III is in dire need of a novel devoted to the general conflict as well.

It's so, so, so funny to me that it took THE HERESY TO END and the SCOURING TO BEGIN for them to go back and patch up the biggest narrative hole in the early series with an actual novel dedicated to it, rather than just scattered sections in a half-dozen other books.

 

And correct me if I'm wrong, but.... this is the first time the Forgeworld characters mentioned in the article actually showed up in the BL HH books, isn't it?

Which is interesting in itself, normally their tie-ins are out within a month or so. This one is out 6 months after the game launches. I feel like there should be a statute of limitations somewhere for having something be a launch tie-in novel
