Black Library’s Horus Heresy short story anthology Mark of Calth is themed to revolve around the aftermath of the Word Bearers treacherous attack on the Ultramarine planet of Calth, as detailed (among others) in Know No Fear. This is part two of my Mark of Calth review. Here you’ll find part one. The second half […]
A slightly older book from Black Library, Fear the Alien is a short-story anthology with stories about … wait for it … aliens! Like the game of Warhammer 40K, Black Library is heavily Imperium (and Space Marine) biased in their publications, at least in the number of publications. That alone made me want to take […]
Another event-exclusive book I took home from Games Day 2013: The Imperial Truth! The Imperial Truth is an anthology of 6 Horus Heresy stories. Unlike the “regular” Space Marines 2013 Games Day Anthology, these are proper “full-sized” short stories. Also, for being a Horus Heresy anthology, there were surprisingly few Space Marines stories in The […]
Forge World released an interesting video, featuring sculptor (?!) Edgar Skomorowski talk about designing the Horus Heresy miniatures for Erebus and Kor Phaeron, following largely inspiration from Aaron Dembski-Bowden’s First Heretic novel by Black Library. And of course, the video also shows off the actual miniatures, fully painted and read. Have a look! #1 – Forge […]
Blood and Fire. Aaron Dembski-Bowden has Black Templars Reclusiarch Grimaldus join the last stand of Celestial Lions Space Marines Chapter in the closing days of the Third War for Armageddon (shortly after the events of Helsreach). If this isn’t some of the most iconic, epic Warhammer 40K material ever, I don’t know what is. Blood […]
In time with Apocalypse 40K, Black Library released the Armageddon collected volume, which includes Aaron Dembski-Bowden’s two Black Templars stories set during the Third War for Armageddon: Helsreach and Blood and Fire. Helsreach is arguably Black Library’s most iconic Black Templars story. Black Templars fans venerate the book with an almost religious fervour. I thus approached this book with […]
With the Farsight Enclaves Supplement being the talk of the town, I decided it’s about time to sit down finishing my Tau Codex review. I started writing that one … dunno .. months ago. It’s still a beast that keeps evading me, so I’ll keep it under taps for another day or two to tame […]
I am an avid reader of Black Library books. These days, I probably read more Warhammer 40K novels from Black Library than I play Warhammer 40K. Like the products for Warhammer 40K the game by the Games Workshop studio, Black Library… made a strong move towards pricier premium products – mainly hardcovers, limited editions and […]
Rick Priestley’s Gates of Antares Kickstarter is struggling. Struggling hard. That does not mean that it doesn’t have potential. Quite the opposite. I’ve tried to pin down some of the things that are keeping Rick Priestley’s Kickstarter down so far. I’ll do it a bit different here. I wanna pitch an idea (originally by Theophony of […]
Here comes an interesting release from Black Library. Horus Heresy: The Scripts 1. With this book, Black Library will release the scripts of fan-favourite audio-books from the Horus Heresy, including ‘The Dark King’, ‘The Lightning Tower’, ‘Raven’s Flight’, ‘Garro: Oath of Moment’, ‘Garro: Legion of One’ and ‘Butcher’s Nails’. Are you interested in reading audio-drama […]
