Until March 31st, Black Library is giving away the Graham McNeill short story The Wolf of Ash and Fire for free on iTunes. Set before the Heresy, before Ullanor, The Wolf of Ash and Fire picks up on an intriguing sentence from the Index Astartes White Dwarf article, from way back in April 2002 – […]
Graham McNeill wrote the companion story for the release of the Imperial Knights – Knights of the Imperium (not the most creative title!) – a 125 page novella showcasing the varieties of Knights, their outlook on war and their relationship with the Adeptus Mechanicus. The story fulfills its purpose of showcasing the Imperial Knights and […]
Games Workshop is unleashing the full Imperial Knights programme. The Imperial Knights miniature has been up on the GW website for a week now. Tomorrow, it will be officially in the stores. The basic rules were previewed in the most recent White Dwarf. There is, however, a deluge of print-products coming to go with the Knight. Here’s […]
Black Library’s Horus Heresy short story anthology Mark of Calth is themed around the aftermath of the Word Bearers’ treacherous attack on the Ultramarine planet of Calth, as described (among other books) in Know No Fear. This is a dark book. Warhammer 40K (or 30K) at its most bleak and grim, full of atrocities, 9/11 […]
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 […]
Games Day 2013. I’ve written a blog post “from the hip” about my (for the most part) general disappointment with UK Games Day 2013, especially compared with UK Games Day 2012. One of the few things I did pick up at Games Day (no Games Day miniature for me this year) was a few Black […]
Black Library is launching a new series-format for their novels: Black Library Classics! We certainly didn’t have a new format in.. probably a week or so. On the upside, this on will be available available on Amazon and be relatively affordable. Three – truly classic – Black Library books will start off the series in October / […]
With the recent release of Forge World’s Fulgrim miniature, it seemed like a good time to get back into the Horus Heresy series and pick up the next book after The Flight of the Eisenstein. That book, of course, is Graham McNeill’s Fulgrim. Fulgrim is an odd book. The story has a few problems if […]
The Dark King and The Lighting Tower are two short stories – or rather one story divided between two authors – published by Black Library as Horus Heresy audio drama in 2010. Just over an hour in length, it does an excellent job channeling key issues of the Horus Heresy into a tension-filled confrontation of […]
Not a lot of time to blog today. Deadlines have no mercy! But if you’re looking for a good read, head over to TheShellCase, where Phil just posted a great interview with Graham McNeill. Feels right on time, as I’ve just started into The Dark King (as a follow-up to Black Library’s recent audio drama Script book thing). […]
