Welcome to the Warhammer Preview Online: Black Library 2022! The live stream is over now, but all the coverage has been collected right here.
You can even check out the Twitch stream here if you want to watch it as it happened.
Captain Vitrian Messinius
This year's Black Library celebration miniature steps straight from the pages of the Dawn of Fire series – it’s Captain Vitrian Messinius.
Messinus of the White Consuls cuts a dashing figure, with details that you’ll recognise from the novels including the auramite powerfist that was given to him by none other than Roboute Guilliman.
Dawn of Fire: The Iron Kingdom
Kicking off the Black Library celebration, Nick Kyme reveals the next Dawn of Fire novel, The Iron Kingdom.
This next instalment continues the story of Battle Group Praxis, as it surges forward with the rest of the Indomitus Crusade.
Siege of Terra: The End and the Death
Here’s Dan Abnett on the eagerly awaited next volume in the Siege of Terra series.
The end is undoubtedly on its way, but tying up a series as sprawling and complex as the Horus Heresy isn’t so simple!
Volume 1 of the The End and the Death will be released in a standard edition with the gorgeous art we’ve already previewed, and as a decadent limited edition bound in a faux-leather case with an embedded metal emblem, a red ribbon bookmark, gold page edges, full colour art, and a map inside.
Here’s the epic artwork for The End and the Death Volume 2 – expect more details on this second volume next year.
Bad Loon Rising
Next up, there’s a distinctively madcap vibe descending, while Andy Clark takes time off from clawing at the moon to talk about a new Gitz book.
Bad Loon Rising tracks the rise of unlikely Loonboss Zograt and his insatiable thirst for power.
First Founding
We’re now going back to the grim darkness of the far future with First Founding as introduced by our presenters on the Stream.
Nine Chapters remain loyal to the Emperor this side of the Horus Heresy. Discover the challenges they are wrestling with in the wake of the Cicatrix Maledictum opening.
This intricate tome features background lore and art covering the Loyalist First Founding Chapters. It includes 30 specially-commissioned illustrations, nine of which are amazing double-page spreads.
Black Library Celebration 2023
While not announced in the Twitch stream, a few more things will be available as part of the Black Library celebration.
First up, Guy Haley’s Skarsnik and William King’s Angel of Fire were this year’s Reader’s Choice winners and you’ll be able to pick them up in 2023.
Gav Thorpe’s Angels of Darkness also returns for a special twentieth anniversary edition, letting you relive the struggles of Boreas once more.
Finally the Black Celebration 2023 will be accompanied by a special paperback anthology that contains five stories covering Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer Age of Sigmar, Warhammer The Horus Heresy, as well as a tale each from Warhammer Horror and Crime.
That’s it for coverage of what’s hitting during the Black Library Celebration 2023, but there’s still more to check out.
Cypher: Lord of the Fallen
Next up is a character series reveal, coming straight from the author himself, John French.
This limited edition is all about one of the Imperium’s greatest warriors, or perhaps their greatest traitor? There’s only one way to find out.
2023 Releases
Finally, Nick is back to run us through a stacked shelf of tales set to come out later in 2023.
Soulblight vampires are blessed (or cursed?) by Nagash with immortality – so why is Nyssa Volari dying? Gary Kloster explores the impossible in The Last Volari.
The Order of Our Martyred Lady are perhaps the most zealous of all the Adepta Sororitas. Pilgrims of Fire by Justin D Hill tracks these furious warrior nuns as they attempt to liberate the shrine world of Cion.
You can’t keep a good duardin down, as the saying goes. Gotrek and Amara return to the wilds of Ghyran, where Nurgle’s Garden has manifested in Richard Strachan’s Blightslayer.
The shattered remains of Cadia still hold some secrets – and new lord castellan Ursula Creed cannot escape their pull. Find out what awaits her there in Creed: Ashes of Cadia by Jude Reid.
You can also look forward to a couple of special editions, such as Armageddon and the Word Bearers Box Set Collection.
There are also two more gorgeous Siege of Terra maps coming – one depicting the events of Mortis and another showing the destruction wrought on the Imperial Palace in Warhawk.
