Fantastic news for fans of our fiction – Black Library and video game retailer Fanatical have teamed up to present six amazing collections of popular novels, omnibuses, short story anthologies in eBook form. They’re only available from the 20th to the 23rd of August, so act fast.
First up, the Dante and Mephiston collection is packed with all the bloody action you’d expect from the sons of Sanguinius. Fan favourite The Devastation of Baal chronicles the Blood Angels’ existential war against Hive Fleet Leviathan, while Dante focuses on the trials of the longest-living Chapter Master of all. This collection covers the past and present, including their trials during the Era Indomitus, as the Blood Angels struggle to rebuild their broken empire.
The Ciaphas Cain stories are a more irreverent look at the 41st Millenium, seen through Commissar Cain’s outrageous and self-centred memoirs. This brilliant bundle collects every Cain story in one place, the perfect way to pick up a slice of foundational and funny Warhammer 40,000 fiction.
Next up, the Mortal Realms! The Gardus & The Hallowed Knights Collection follows a heroic Stormhost known far and wide for their battle cry, “Only the Faithful”. The bane of Chaos, they are led by the mighty Gardus Steel Soul, and this collection pits them against many foes, including the corrupt followers of Nurgle in Plague Garden, the forces of Nagash in Black Pyramid, and more.
If you want to get up to speed with the Warhammer Age of Sigmar universe, there’s no better place to get started than the Realmgate Wars collection. This set of books and short stories covers a wealth of heroes and factions as they fight through one of the most significant conflicts the Mortal Realms have ever faced. You can also check out the Warhammer Vault for an extensive history of this conflict, which is available as part of a Warhammer+ subscription.
The Horus Heresy series, meanwhile, details the conflict that first left the Imperium of Man broken in two. Stories of devastating battles, terrible betrayals, and feats of heroism provide forging ground for the Warhammer 40,000 setting you know and love. With the Siege of Terra books bringing this epic story to a close, now is the perfect time to catch up on anything you’ve missed.The Calth and the Underworld War Collection covers the brutal conflict between the Ultramarines and the Word Bearers under the scorched surface of Calth, while Lorgar strikes at the heart of Guilliman’s home system.
As an extra special bonus, this collection also contains the graphic novel Macragge's Honour, which sees Ultramarines First Chapter Master Marius Gage tasked with hunting down a fleeing heretic. Neil Roberts’ stunning artwork needs to be seen to be believed.
If you’re more of a fan of the taciturn and secretive Lion El’Jonson, then the last collection is tailor-made for you. It follows the Dark Angels primarch as treachery tears the galaxy – and his Legion – apart. Featuring a whole host of Horus Heresy novels, the set is rounded out with Savage Weapons, a fantastic short story by Aaron Dembski-Bowden.
These collections come packed with amazing stories, but don’t forget that they are only available for four days, starting on August 20th and ending on August 23rd, so set your alarms so you don’t miss out on these fantastic bundles.
