Nagashsnee Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I just want them to reveal that either 1) The Warhammer Fantasy Chronicles is getting a reprint for old world. 2) Actually Old World books are coming out. Otherwise as others have said they kinda spoiled allot already, surely now would have been the moment to reveal the last last last siege of terra book. Rather then showcase it a while ago for....no real gain. darkhorse0607 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384814-upcoming-bl-stuff-2025/page/8/#findComment-6095475 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubiquitous1984 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Interesting to note that the 15 hours anniversary edition has a foreword not from the author, but from ‘Black Library’. It’s usually the author that writes this isn’t it?

DarkChaplain Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) So apparently Cado Ezechiar, the Hollow King, is getting a second model as well. That's the John French novel character for AoS, who already got a model a few years back... for BL Celebration, iirc. Minka Lesk, Ven Denst, and now Cado... what is it with BL-models just retreading the same characters? Not even counting Neave Blacktalon, at least she had a dual kit with a generic option at first. There's so many they could be doing instead. Heck, what's next, Drekki Flynt version 2? I mean, I like these models and think it's fantastic that BL characters get miniatures again. But their priorities seem so awkward, it's annoying. ...and unlike the Minka Lesk model article on Warcom they also published today, this one wasn't even marked as part of the BL celebration DESPITE being about a BL character AND advertising both novels.

Taliesin Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Cant say I am surprised that the BL Celebration is a total buzzkill, as that is fully in line with everything of the last 2 years ( or is it 3 years by now?). The December preview also shows less and less each year, and the Celebration is also less and less every year. darkhorse0607, Dalmyth, DarkChaplain and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384814-upcoming-bl-stuff-2025/page/8/#findComment-6095576 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The December preview also shows less and less each year, and the Celebration is also less and less every year. Yet the number of titles per year remains relatively consistent. I wish GW would recognize that BL novels aren’t as hype based as GW products. The game and miniatures are a relatively social experience as far as nerdy hobbies go. You need to retain a certain constancy of engagement or else people fall off because they have fewer friends to play with, fewer events to go to, fewer people to talk about it with online/in person and fewer products to buy. Books are different. I love discussing them on here, but that’s not why I (or most people) read them. We read them for the story itself. No others need be involved. Thus marketing is less about retaining constant attention and more just about ensuring people can easily know what’s coming and have books available to buy.

Felix Antipodes Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 GW should be hit up for false advertising… this is not a BL Celebration even by the poor standards of recent years. Where are the previews of upcoming releases? The author interviews? Oh, there is one with Kyme (locked away on WH+). 5 hours ago, Taliesin said: Cant say I am surprised that the BL Celebration is a total buzzkill, as that is fully in line with everything of the last 2 years ( or is it 3 years by now?).

What drives me crazy is that they have not released a First Claw mini box from the Night Lords trilogy. Easily one of BL biggest book successes ever, and despite being Chaos one i feel will sell like hotcakes to fans of the series for painting/collecting. Crazy.

I once again am requesting a Cain/Jurgen model But yeah, not to sound like I'm hating on the characters/books, it just seems wild to me that they have the money machine that some of these other characters would be that they either haven't ever done, or haven't done in 20 years (Cain for instance), but chose to redo these newer ones DarkChaplain 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384814-upcoming-bl-stuff-2025/page/8/#findComment-6095757 Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkhorse0607 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Interesting (maybe not) line from the WH+ article today when talking about Nike Kymes interview "a fitting person to interview ahead of the upcoming Black Library Celebration!" So either a)they didn't proofread this before it posted or b) maybe there's something else coming this week?

So either a)they didn't proofread this before it posted or b) maybe there's something else coming this week? I don’t think it’s a proofreading issue or that anything else is coming. Kyme’s just a fitting person to interview because he’s a BL author and this is the BL ‘celebration’.

skylerboodie Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Just watched this interview; he talks about Salamanders/Vulkan and Dawn of Fire series (including spoilers for the latter), but not much else; nothing about Black Library celebration or Black Library in general.

cheywood Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Book of the year is either Interceptor City or Elemental Council.

DarkChaplain Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Yeah, I don't think whatever Aaron and Alan had planned will ever happen at this point. I'm already doubtful we'll see Black Legion 3 before the 30s, and what was originally sketched for Sevatar in Nightfall obviously got scrapped and went utterly unaddressed. I have no hope for this one anymore.
