Upcoming BL Stuff 2026

[darkhorse0607]

Huge hate for them tricking me by showing me Rath's name on a Necron book before I realized it's another reprint of Infinite and the Divine
 

Chem Dogs sounds interesting, will pick up Flower's Ghaz book because Slitta da Stabba is a great name

 

this doesn't instill me with confidence for the "celebration" though if they're announcing all of these now

Love that we’re getting more orks. Maybe I’ll finally connect with a Flowers’ novel. Not sure why, but I haven’t enjoyed his work as much as everyone else despite its obvious quality. 
 

Also very excited for a Chem Dogs novel. I’ve wanted one for years and years and had given up hope at this point. Fingers crossed Davis does a good job.

 

I thought his Savlar short story Those Without Mercy was pretty decent. Check that one out if you want a taste of what's to come!

Sad to see Nate Crowley doesn't seem to be writing for BL anymore, but I really enjoyed Flowers previous Aeronautics novels.

 

I'm definitely trying to pickup that I&D illustrated novel

Ghaz is insta buy so is Infinite. Those Annotated editions are amazing. Much better value than LEs

 

I might even grab Chem Dogs. That would be my first purchase of anything from GW/BL this year

[System Sound]

I almost got excited for Infinite and Divine sequel just to see that it's a reprint with annotations...

Savlar Chemdogs makes me feel that Gw came up with loads of inventive stuff when I was a kid roughly 20 years ago- and encouraged fans to do the same.

 

Now there's a lot less focus on inventing new stuff, converting, etc. Even the characters in video games look exactly like the models. 

 

Maybe I've missed something. This is just how I feel rather than an objective fact. Maybe it's the upshot of the chapterhouse case.

I think GW encouragement of converting and kitbashung has waxed and wanted over time,.and inconsistently within the company. Warcom has had plenty of articles covering conversion project, we have had new regiments pop up for the Astra Military long after the Chapterhouse lawsuit. Stuff like the Indigan Prefects and Athonian Tunnel Rats all came out after the Chapterhouse stuff.

I'm not sold on Callum due to his Tome Keeper stories which I have found dissapointing, but I'll have to check his chem dogs

Coming down from the other thread and Valraks morning video

 

In the authors afterward in Ghost Legion, Brooks confirms that Solomon is getting a model and that he has seen it (reference the pale spear rumor image from last year)

 

If that's the case, I would assume it's going to be shown at the Celebration, and before the book actually releases, so maybe some kind of thing this week? Pre-recorded videos or something perhaps

[darkhorse0607]

I was wrong  

 

No celebration mention

 

No BL preorders 

 

My disappointment is immense and my day is ruined

[Felix Antipodes]

I was surprised by no BL pre-orders.  After the WarCom article earlier this week I was sure they would be up this week.  If they don’t appear next week’s pre-order announcement we may not see them until the Celebration week.

Let’s hope they announce some details on the next Scouring book then as well.

Yeah, I guess its my bad for thinking it would've been in the same month that its been in for a few years now 

 

But I guess we get a merch showcase now. Hurray? 

 

I dunno. The whole thing is weird to me. Normally its BL celebration in February, Adepticon in March which, except for the Heresy last year has been used to show the new game edition (which valrak also thinks is happening because its slotted for a two hour preview), and then some others preview in May. 

 

Now BL celebration and Adepticon will both be in march? Unless its a normal show+Celebration and thats why the length, with the new edition being shown in May like last year  

 

Im just spiraling
