As the nights draw in during October and November, what could be better than to settle down with a good book and immerse yourself in the worlds of Warhammer? This autumn is a particularly exciting time for fans of the Black Library, with a bevy of releases on the way – and it doesn’t get much finer than this trio of epic Warhammer 40,000 stories, all rebound and re-released as fantastic new Special Editions.
War of the Fang, is the gripping tale of Magnus the Red’s murderous attempt to wreak vengeance on the wolves of Fenris. Chris Wraight brings to life one of the bitterest feuds in the Warhammer 40,000 setting in vivid, visceral detail.
Guy Haley’s epic Dark Imperium trilogy also returns as a special boxed edition. Dark Imperium tells the tale of Ultramarines Primarch Roboute Guilliman’s exploits during the Indomitus Crusade. Collecting all three novels in the Dark Imperium series (Dark Imperium, Dark Imperium: Plaguewar and Dark Imperium: Godblight), this special edition also includes the short stories In The Grim Darkness, The Armour of Fate and His Will, and encases them all in an ornate presentation slipcase.
Guy offered us a few words about this Special Edition of Dark Imperium.
“It’s so exciting to see the Dark Imperium Trilogy come out in this complete, special edition set. Dark Imperium tells the story of the Primarch Roboute Guilliman’s battles against his brother, the fallen Primarch Mortarion, in the Plague Wars of Ultramar. Set partway through the Indomitus Crusade, Dark Imperium was the first book to delve into the Era Indomitus, and was therefore a huge privilege to write, but I had no idea at the time (2016... Lordy) that it would go on to be my most successful book. It's my proudest achievement as a writer for Black Library, even more so now, with this handsome collection ready to adorn your bookshelves!”
Last but by no means least in this literary trifecta is the much loved Astra Militarum classic, Cadian Blood from Aaron Dembski-Bowden. Originally released back in 2009, Cadian Blood is the tale of a stoic regiment of Cadian Shock Troops who are hurled into the jaws of Chaos.
All three of these awesome Black Library titles are set to release in the next couple of months, make sure you don’t miss out by signing up to our newsletter.
