The 2023
Celebration lands next month, bringing with it many fresh tales of wonder from across the many realms of Warhammer.
Join us on Monday the 13th of February for a week of celebrations, with pre-orders opening on Saturday the 18th. The fun extends to your local Warhammer Store too – from the 25th of February onwards you can get involved with the celebration in person. Just ask your store staff how you can participate – there could be swag to grab for eager readers!
Win a Signed Siege of Terra Art Print
Our week of festivities begins with something special – a competition in which 10 lucky people will win a signed Siege of Terra art print from the cover of the latest book in the series! This competition runs from the 13th of February to the 5th of March. All you have to do to enter is sign up for the Black Library newsletter, and stay subscribed until the winners are chosen randomly.*
There’s even a fantastic new miniature! Yes, a champion from the Dawn of Fire series is coming to you in plastic, with a superb rendition of White Consuls Captain Vitrian Messinius.
Catch up with the good Captain and the rest of Battle Group Praxis as they negotiate a volatile Knight world in Nick Kyme’s next entry into the series, The Iron Kingdom, which will get a special edition release with all the bells and whistles we’ve come to hope for. The novel will also be released in French and German.
The next phase of the Siege of Terra series also lands. The End and the Death Volume I is the first part of Dan Abnett’s riveting finale to an epic series. With madness and Chaos closing in all around, only a sliver of hope remains for Terra. Rest assured, this book will also arrive in French and German – and there will be a fantastic special edition too.
The Gloomspite Gitz have an intricate and detailed culture of backstabbing, betrayal, and fungal sampling, which Andy Clark explores via the unlikely Loonboss Zograt in Bad Loon Rising.
It’s not all tall tales and epic sagas – First Founding is a luxury coffee table book full of artwork and lore on all nine loyal First Founding Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes – including entirely new illustrations. It’s a must-have for any fan of Space Marines.
Reader’s Choice titles are released during each Black Library Celebration, reviving much-loved titles for fans to enjoy. There’s more greenskin goodness with Guy Haley’s Skarsnik, or pay your respects to the previous Lord Solar in William King’s Angel of Fire.
Fans of Dan Abnett’s Gaunt’s Ghosts series will also have a chance to own the first three books in hardback – First and Only, Ghostmaker, and Necropolis – thanks to a special print-on-demand offering.
Gav Thorpe’s classic Dark Angels story, Angels of Darkness, will meanwhile be re-released as a 20th Anniversary Edition with a striking cover, letting you rediscover the cryptic tale of Interrogator-Chaplain Boreas.
The third instalment of the Vaults of Terra series meanwhile appears in French and German paperback editions. In The Dark City by Chris Wraight, Interrogator Luce Spinoza must choose between searching for her missing mentor Inquisitor Erasmus Cowl or defending her realm from enemies both inside and outside.
Anyone who orders something during the Black Library Celebration will receive a free anthology containing five tales from different authors. These short stories cover Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer Age of Sigmar, The Horus Heresy, and the Warhammer Crime and Horror imprints.
Keep your eyes peeled for the Black Library Celebration 2023 eShort collection for even more morsels of fiction, which will also appear in French and German.
