Two brand new books lead this week’s Black Library pre-orders, which include an anthology each for Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar, plus a selection of stories returning in new release formats.
Blacktalon
Neave Blacktalon and her crew are available for pre-order today, and they’re accompanied by a novel that builds on the narrative established in the Blacktalon animations on Warhammer+. After a weapon so powerful it may even threaten the God-King Sigmar is discovered, Neave is tasked with taking down the five Chaos champions who seek to claim it. Blacktalon by Liane Merciel is available to pre-order in hardback, eBook, and audiobook formats.
Da Gobbo Rides Again
Painboy Stimma has a problem. A nuclear winter has all the grots in his encampment deep in the doldrums. His plan to inject some hope and joy back into their lives (so all the dirty work gets done) is to create his very own Red Gobbo. His brutal kunnin’ ensures success, but there are some unexpected results... Da Gobbo Rides Again by Rhuairidh James explores revolushions, the origins of grots, and more. You’ll be able to pre-order your copy in hardback or eBook.
Galaxy of Horrors
The first of two short story collections this week, Galaxy of Horrors is an assortment of tales that provide an insight into the vast and uncompromising setting of Warhammer 40,000. It features 20 stories by 15 different authors including Denny Flowers, Victoria Hayward, David Annandale, Peter Fehervari, and Robert Rath, and can be pre-ordered in paperback or eBook.
Untamed Realms
Next up is a collection of stories that focus on life in the Mortal Realms, where awe-inspiring heroes and terrible beasts walk alongside mere mortals. Untamed Realms contains 13 stories by 10 different authors including Richard Strachan, Jeremy Lambert, Miles A Drake, Luke Scull, and David Guymer, and you can pre-order it in paperback or eBook.
Godeater’s Son
Heldanarr Fall has one dream – for the Burning Valley to be left in peace, and for the endlessly meddling gods to take their concerns elsewhere. The Stormcast Eternals of Sigmar have a different idea, and Fall soon finds himself at war with a force of golden warriors led by the cunning Ildrid Stormsworn. He must embrace primal older powers, and risk abandoning the freedom he has fought to earn, in order to defeat them. Godeater’s Son by Noah Van Nguyen is now available to pre-order in paperback.
The Vulture Lord
After the death of his son King Zothar Athrabis made a pact with Nagash to preserve his child’s soul. Unfortunately for Athrabis, deals with the Supreme Lord of the Undead are rarely straightforward, and he must hold games every 10 years to find a new vessel to house the boy’s soul. When Athrabis breaks tradition after hundreds of years to raise this champion as his own, a bloody rebellion begins to take hold among his subjects. The Vulture Lord by Richard Strachan is a fascinating look at life in the Realm of Death, and is available to pre-order in paperback.
Bad Loon Rising
Zograt had a bad start in life, born as a runt and kicked to the bottom of the pile by his tribe, but one day the Bad Moon bestowed him with a glorious blessing – the Clammy Hand. Now, the same grots who gave him regular beatings are flocking to his side as he sets his sights on the Muttering Peak in order to harness its dark power and become the greatest loonboss that ever lived. Andy Clark’s Bad Moon Rising is available now for pre-order in paperback.
Elfslayer
After reluctantly travelling to Marienburg, Gotrek and Felix soon find themselves slap-bang in the middle of another wild adventure across the Old World, this time involving elves and a powerful artefact. Elfslayer, the classic yarn by Nathan Long, is available to pre-order now in audiobook format.
Everything above is available to pre-order from the Games Workshop website and is on a two-week pre-order.
