Black Library: Upcoming Books Offer Release Hints
Black Library is showing off thier upcoming 4 months of releases – and there are some big hints in there for related GW releases.
Black Library has just put up a new website section for upcoming releases. It gives you everything they will be putting out through the end of January.
Black Library Coming Soon
There is a large amount of things in there for all the ranges, but here is something to consider.
Games Workshop has a well established tradition of rolling out linked Black Library novels with game releases.
So when Deathwatch was releases for 40K, we got a coupld o Deathwatch books from Black Library at the same time. It’s smart business and they have been doing it for years.
With that in mind, look through some of the more interesting books on that page and what month they are being released.
NOVEMBER
Sons of the Forge $15.99
Charged by his primarch with removing the mighty power of Vulkan’s cache of deadly artefacts from the grasp of friend and foe alike, the first Forgefather embarks on what might be his final mission.
Blood Bowl: The Boxed Set $80.00 Prepare yourself, sports fans, for the ride of your life! Well, of Dirk Hoffnung’s life, more accurately, as you follow him on his journey from nobody to internationally renowned Blood Bowl star in this series of four classic novels, collected together in brand new hardback editions encased within a lavish boxed set.
DECEMBER
Fabius Bile: Primogenitor $65.00 Exiled into the depths of the Eye of Terror for his dark deeds, former Emperor’s Children Apothecary Fabius is drawn back to the Imperium in search of a secret that could be the key to saving his misbegotten life…
JANUARY
Magnus the Red – Master of Prospero: $65.00 Fighting in the Great Crusade beside his staunchly anti-mystical brother Perturabo, the psychic primarch Magnus and his Legion of knowledge-seekers must walk a fine line between their mission and their own desire to learn forbidden secrets.
Most interesting to me are:
- November release of the Blood Bowl volume – the very month we know there is a mysterious “all hands on deck” GW release.
- December release of not only Fabius Bile (with a delicious faux-skin edition) but other Space Marine novels featuring battles versus Chaos in and around the Eye of Terror. This with the unresolved cliffhangers from Curse of the Wulfen and the Black Crusade series of 40K supplements. Hmm…
- January takes us into the new year and the big book is all about Magnus the Red. Again note the swirling rumors of a plastic Magnus the Red and Tzeentch chaos game tie-ins coming soon.
~I’ll let you try to read the tea-leaves from here.
