Gotrek and Felix: The Second Omnibus: $21.00
Gotrek and Felix: unsung heroes of the Empire, or nothing more than common thieves and murderers? The truth perhaps lies somewhere in between, and depends entirely upon whom you ask…
The Slayer and his poet companion continue their adventures, aided by the Kislevite warrior-princess Ulrika, the wizard Max Schreiber and Gotrek’s old comrade Snorri Nosebiter. Returning from their expedition in the distant north, Gotrek and Felix find themselves under attack by and army of monstrous greenskins – and a terrifying dragon. When an immense Chaos horde besieges Praag, the adventurers hasten to defend the beleaguered city – but the masters of the Chaos host have plans for Gotrek. When Ulrika is captured by a dread vampire, the race is on to rescue her before she succumbs to the curse of undeath.
This second omnibus of Gotrek & Felix adventures includes three novels by William King – Dragonslayer, Beastslayer and Vampireslayer – and five short stories by various authors that explore some of the many legends of the Slayer and his Rememberer.

The Tainted Heart: $16.00
Chamon wails in anguish. An untraceable blight has engulfed the realm, and oases scattered across its deserts recoil and fester at the dread touch of Nurgle. Lands once brimming with life now suffocate beneath a leprous undergrowth. The stink of rotting souls, wracked by the pestilence that compels them, spreads throughout the metallic dunes, and the tendrils of decay ever broaden their reach. Resisting the epidemic are witch hunters of the Order of Azyr, Talorcan and Esselt. A renowned tracker amongst the Brotherhood, Talorcan’s brooding severity is matched only by the ruthlessness of his lover’s sword. Together they pursue a cultist whose bloody trail leads them to the site of a massacre, whereupon the witch hunters stop at nothing to purge the realm of its loathsome affliction – until they’re confronted with their greatest challenge yet. Faced with the unthinkable, the battle against corruption swiftly escalates into the ultimate test of faith, and Talorcan and Esselt turn to the only certainty they have: each other.

Book 45: Tallarn: $9.99
As the Warmaster’s campaign of galactic domination continues, his generals seek out fresh battlefields to conquer. After leaving the Crone World of Iydris behind, Perturabo strikes for Tallarn. A bitter, vengeful primarch, the lord of the Iron Warriors unleashes a deadly bombardment against the world, killing millions but entrenching the survivors. A brutal, all-consuming armoured conflict ensues, the greatest of the war, and one that grinds down all combatants over more than a year of relentless battles. But Perturabo’s reasons for the attack are about more than unleashing punitive destruction against the Imperium – he has an entirely darker purpose in mind.
