‘Ere we go! It’s the moment every ork fan has been waiting for, the collector’s mega limited edition of Warboss by Mike Brooks!
Absolutely rammed with amazing extras, this action-packed tale of orky mayhem and brutal kunnin’, is coming to pre-order this month from Black Library – and it’s strictly limited to 2,000 copies.
This lavish, foil-edged limited edition sports a soft-touch hardback cover and a red ribbon bookmark, in a boxed set which also includes Da Grotboss’ Manifesto, a separate illustrated book and short story with revolutionary stylings and a unique afterword by the author.
Also included is a full-colour map of the locations in the story, a dead-orky piece of artwork, a car window sticker that proclaims the coolness of your battle buggy, and six teef in a leather effect pouch – carved with numbers, so you can use them as objective markers in your games of Warhammer 40,000 and Kill Team.*
All of this snazzy loot is encased in a luxury presentation box, so everyone can see who’s the flashiest git in town!**
With only 2,000 uniquely numbered and individually signed copies available, any self-respecting ork enthusiast needs to grab theirs before they are gone.
Kate Hamer, who edited Warboss, told us about the joys of translating Mike’s lovingly crafted ork glyphs into a Black Library novel that tells the story of this orky odyssey, which sees Warboss Gazrot Goresnappa ‘proper dead’, with a gaggle of rivals vying for leadership of the Waaagh.
“Mike and orks go together like Grotsnik, a rusty scalpel, and a vat of squig guts,” explains Kate. “The final result is brilliant, somewhat dangerous and absolutely bonkers.
“With a contender from each clan warring to succeed the dead warboss, this standalone novel is set in the same ork-verse as Mike’s previous teef-rattling tales.*** It’s filled with fantastic characters, dark humour, and orkish hijinks. Throw in a prophecy from a weirder-than-usual weirdboy – and a grot revolutionary with a shiv who isn’t afraid to use it – and you know you’re in for a great time.”
The prophecy in question foretells of a mysterious gate that lies beneath the human city on the fortress world of Aranua. The one true warboss will be the first to find it, and use it to turn the galaxy green.
Needless to say, with warring clans squaring off against each other, there will be no shortage of carnage in this thrill-filled romp. Stay tuned to Warhammer Community for a pre-order date, and sign up to our newsletter to get all the latest news direct to your inbox.
