Book One : The Solar War

After years of devastating war, Horus and his forces have arrived at Terra. But before they can set foot on the Throneworld, they must first break the defences of the Solar System. Powerful fleets and cunning defences bar their path – but can anything hope to halt the advance of the Traitor armada?

The Solar War is the first of the eight novels in the Siege of Terra. It charts the fortunes of Horus’ forces as they begin their assault on the defences that the protectors of the Solar System have put in place to defend mankind’s home world.

Hello everyone !!

The beggining of the end :D

Tomorrow, thirteen years of the Horus Heresy series will meet their culmination in The Solar War – the first in an 8-volume megaseries that’ll bring the story to its epic climax. We’re letting you know about this one early, as it’s expected to sell out incredibly fast.

The Solar War, by John French, details the first stage of this epoch-defining battle as fleets clash in the void of the Sol System. Horus’ armada is huge, his treacherous forces bolstered by the powers of the warp – but Rogal Dorn has had close to a decade to prepare the Throneworld’s defences. The various spheres of defiance within the system hold more than a few surprises for the invaders – and the Imperial Fists themselves relish the chance to finally get to grips with their erstwhile brothers.

This limited edition is more than just your first chance to read this incredible story. It’s an opportunity to add a stunning artefact to your bookshelves. From the exterior design, which will be echoed across future limited editions in the series, to the extravagant interior artwork – including character portraits, black-and-white illustrations and full-colour studies of a number of primarchs – the book is a true collector’s item. It also includes a detailed afterword by author John French talking about the process of writing the book, and the series, in unparalleled detail.

So Limited edition on pre order tomorow. only 2500 piece.

If you don't get the limited ed you'll have to wait the regular one (?)

Hello everyone !!

The new BL line is releasing :

Warhammer Horror will be launching with three titles – the short-story anthology Maledictions, a portmanteau novel called The Wicked and the Damned, and an audio drama titled Perdition’s Flame. Each of these is a classic horror format and is set in the worlds of Warhammer. Blending the macabre and the fantastical, they’ll be indispensable reading (and listening) for any fan of Warhammer – or of horror, for that matter.

Also you can hear a trailler of the "Beast in the Trenches" :

Howdy Guys and Girls :)

"On the 23rd and 24th of February, Warhammer and Games Workshop stores across the world will be hosting their annual Black Library Celebration. It’ll be a weekend of adrenaline-fuelled fiction, with stores running events that retell stories from the novels. And, of course, there are going to be loads of new books, CDs and other goodies to pick up… for example a new lady commisar!

This fantastic model is your chance to add this devout Imperial hero to your collection. Her Black Library-themed box includes rules for using the resin miniature in your Astra Militarum army – and February’s White Dwarf will include the rules for using her as your Commander in games of Kill Team as well! The Raine miniature is based on the cover art for a new novel also coming for the Celebration, Rachel Harrison’s debut novel Honourbound."

Regards,
Lady Atia

Hello there !

The headline news is that the Siege of Terra will be an eight-book series, launching globally in hardback in May 2019 with John French’s The Solar War

Want to know more about The Solar War and the Siege of Terra? Check out this video interview with John French where he talks about what went into planning this eight-book extravaganza and more besides:

Don’t want to wait six months to start reading about the final battle? You’re in luck, as in March, you’ll be able to pick up The Solar War in a limited edition A5 hardback. Details of what this limited edition looks like will come later… but for now, you can prepare yourselves to read the start of the Siege of Terra in just four months.

Of course, the Siege of Terra is the final act of a series that’s spanned more than 50 books – and the final instalment in the buildup to that great battle is on the way. It’s called The Buried Dagger, it’s by James Swallow, and it’s out soon. Also on its way is the hardback edition of Guy Haley’s Corax: Lord of Shadows, from the Primarchs series

If you’ve never experienced the first few volumes in the Horus Heresy series, there’ll soon be a chance to pick them up in hardback for a limited time, with a very special Print on Demand offer. From the 17th of November, for just two weeks, you’ll be able to order Print on Demand hardback editions of the first five books in the Horus Heresy series: Horus Rising, False Gods, Galaxy in Flames, The Flight of the Eisenstein and Fulgrim. These novels have all been out of print in hardback for a while, so they’re a great way to complete your collection – or start a new one.

At Black Library Live in June, the team unveiled a brand-new imprint coming from Black Library in 2019: Warhammer Horror. Today, they confirmed the opening line-up for this new range, consisting of three new titles, and reprints of four classic novels – with a new twist.

The three new releases each take a familiar horror trope and weave it into the fantastical settings of the Warhammer universes. Maledictions is a short story anthology, featuring dark and sinister tales from a host of established horror writers, including Cassandra Khaw, Alec Worley and Lora Gray, alongside well known Black Library authors, such as Graham McNeill and David Annandale. With eleven stories from the 41st Millennium and the Mortal Realms, this is a must-read for all fans of the spooky and supernatural.

Alec Worley has also authored an audio drama – Perdition’s Flame – which tells a chilling Warhammer 40,000 tale of a disgraced Vostroyan trooper seeking redemption.

The last of the three launch titles coming in March 2019 is The Wicked and the Damned, a Warhammer 40,000 portmanteau built of three horror novellas themed around a trio of battered survivors on a cemetery world, each telling their tale of how they came to be there. The three instalments are written by Josh Reynolds, David Annandale and Phil Kelly.

Coming in the months after the launch are the four classic Warhammer Chronicles titles starring the vampire Genevieve. Fans of a certain vintage may remember these books – Drachenfels, Beasts in Velvet, Genevieve Undead and Silver Nails – which hail from an early time of the world-that-was and give a very different view of the Old World than stories that came later.

Each of these was written by veteran horror writer and journalist Kim Newman, under the pseudonym Jack Yeovil, and for the first time ever, these new editions will feature Kim’s real name – and each will have an introduction by the author, along with astonishing new cover art.

Our Martyred Lady

After the successful launch of Realmslayer last month, it’s time for Warhammer 40,000 to receive a similar audio boxed set – and it’s coming in the form of Our Martyred Lady. Written by Gav Thorpe, this tells a four-part tale of Saint Celestine and Inquisitor Greyfax as they work together to try and prevent a holy war within the Ecclesiarchy that could disrupt the balance of power in the Dark Imperium.

The cast for Our Martyred Lady is headlined by a famous face – none other than comedian, actor, writer and (obviously) voice artist Catherine Tate, perhaps best known worldwide for her role as Donna Noble in television’s Doctor Who.

Another pair of audio dramas were announced as well – both by Nick Kyme. Nightfane continues the story of Aeonid Thiel in the Horus Heresy, while The Imprecations of Daemons is a Warhammer Age of Sigmar story with a truly gorgeous cover.

Tempting new Warhammer 40,000 titles include a return to the Deathwatch for Steve Parker with Shadowbreaker, and an intriguing-looking new tome by Peter Fehervari called Requiem Infernal. Joining them are Andy Clark’s Celestine: The Living Saint, exploring the trials Saint Celestine undergoes when she dies and returns to life, and Cadian Honour by Justin D Hill, continuing the story of the survivors of the shattered fortress world.

A trio of forthcoming omnibus editions combining classic novels and short stories from the 41st Millennium are also en route, giving you a chance to experience tales from the past anew.

From the Mortal Realms, there’s both Order and Chaos on the way with David Guymer’s Hamilcar: Champion of the Gods and a Varanguard-themed novel called Scourge of Fate by Robbie MacNiven. Alongside them is Gods & Mortals, a short story anthology featuring a host of tales from across the realms focusing on the great heroes and mighty battles of the Age of Sigmar.

Experience some of the greatest tales from the world-that-was in a pair of omnibus editions, collecting a second volume of Gotrek & Felix stories, and a host of tales from Karak Eight Peaks, encompassing the three-way battle between dwarfs, goblins and skaven that raged for decades around that contested fortress.

We’re very sorry to say that, due to health reasons, Brian Blessed was not able to attend the Black Library Weekender event as planned. We know that many of you were looking forward to meeting the new Voice of Gotrek this weekend – and we’re sorry for any disappointment caused. We’re sure you’ll join us in wishing Brian a swift recovery.

Keep an eye out for more information about everything revealed at the Black Library Weekender – coming your way as soon as we have it. In the meantime, head to blacklibrary.com and check out the latest releases, such as the first-ever Black Library Novella Series, which you can pre-order now.

That's a lot of books !

Hello everyone !!

GW announced that the title of the last HH book (before the siege by ADB)

The Buried Dagger

After 12 years, more than 50 books and loads of short stories and audio dramas, the Horus Heresy series is coming to an end, making way for the Siege of Terra – a new set of books that will follow the greatest conflict mankind has ever known in more detail than ever before.

The final book of the Horus Heresy series before the siege will be The Buried Dagger – a tale of betrayal, woe and the final, tragic collapse of the Death Guard. This moment has been a pivotal and iconic part of Horus Heresy lore for decades, and we’re incredibly excited to finally hear the full story.

Here’s writer James Swallow with more info:

When I wrote my first Horus Heresy novel – The Flight of the Eisenstein – that book was built around the narrative of key events in the history of the Death Guard and the venerable Battle-Captain Nathaniel Garro… So having The Buried Dagger, my last book to bear the Horus Heresy banner, return to both the XIV Legion and ‘Straight-arrow Garro’ appeals to my sense of synchronicity.

The Death Guard, their primarch Mortarion and Garro have all taken troubled roads to reach this point, and like a lot of the narratives in this saga, their story is a mirror of the greater tragedy of the Horus Heresy – and in this novel, each of them will pass a point of no return that will change them forever. I feel privileged to be the writer who got to end this chapter of the saga, and light the way to the next – prepare yourselves for the Siege.

Thanks, James – while we’re sure that The Buried Dagger will be a bittersweet read, it looks like a fitting end for this epic chapter for Warhammer 40,000 lore. The Siege of Terra promises to be incredibly exciting, and a worthy successor to The Horus Heresy.
