Upcoming BL Stuff 2025

Awesome, maybe I'll read Harrowmaster next.

The Scouring: Ashes of the Imperium pre-orders next week, plus Master of Rites. Both books in hardback and LE at the same time.

 

Interesting tidbit on The Scouring's LE:

This is your first chance to buy this edition, which is currently only available while stocks last. If this sells out in a blur, as these things are known to do, we'll look to do a restock in the near future, so don't panic.

Ooft another expensive week for me. 
 

An LE of Master of Rites is a surprise but I may go for it to add to my Dawn of Fire/Dark Imperium collection. Sad to see the miniature is only getting legend rules though. 
 

I will probably get a standard copy of Ashes of the Imperium as well. It is very interesting that they’ve stated they will likely reprint the LE of Ashes.

No LE attempts for me but I am excited (tentatively) for these

Nice to see that scouring LEs will have a similar spine to siege LEs, but the cover is a bit hit and miss for me.

Uf, I hate those metallic symbols on LEs. It's hard to stack them on shelves with it

Interesting note that there's no mention of author signatures or numbered copies with the scouring novel also it's referred to as a "premium edition" instead of limited edition or special edition which is normally used for the numbered/signed ones. Someone in finance at GW had to be wondering how much money was left on the table with the limited siege novels,

There have been callls for this (reprinting LE/SE without the signature plate/numbering) for a while now but as a second edition type thing, not dropping them entirely.  Maybe they are phasing them out to counter the scalping issue?  Make them less of a rarity?

I don’t mind it myself but there are collectors out there that will not be happy.  From a GW point of view it sounds like money left on the table.  Premium price for signed LE followed by slightly less expensive ‘Premium’ edition to soak up any remaining potential sales.  MMPB edition for those still welded to that format.  Dropping the LE stage, and the high price they sell for, seems like bad business to me.

 

As for the other releases, usual GW famine or feast ensues
