If you’ve never used Audible before, the credits are really cool. You get a free book a month, on top of all the streaming stuff, that you get to keep. So just with this, you’ll get three Black Library books to keep, which is just cheaper than they actually cost.
Now let’s check out that book lineup!
Kragnos, Avatar of Destruction
With the return of the God of Earthquakes, the Realm of Beasts is in for some seismic upheaval in more ways than one.
Eisenhorn Xenos (Limited Edition)
If you enjoy reading about the gritty underbelly of the Imperium, and how forces within and without seek to manipulate things to their will behind the scenes, you’ll love this book, which kicks off the story of Inquisitor Eisenhorn. Does he bend the rules to do what’s ultimately right, or is he little more than a dangerous radical? You decide.
Eisenhorn is a fan favorite, so if you are interested be sure you pick up this book ASAP when it finally does drop!
The Successors
From storied successors including the Crimson Fists and Flesh Tearers to lesser-known Chapters like the Emperor’s Spears and Consecrators, you’ll be spoilt for no-holds-barred Adeptus Astartes action.
The nature of Successor chapters and their unique attributes help make 40k one of the most interesting sci-fi settings, so this book is sure to be great on that basis alone.
Saturnine (PB)
The fourth instalment of the Siege of Terra series, Saturnine, is coming soon in paperback, and it sees the fighting escalate to new heights across the perimeter of the Emperor’s Palace.
If you were unable to get it before, rejoice as the new Paperback should be easier to get a hold of (and cheaper!).
Battle of Lion’s Gate Space Port Map
What’s more, you can keep track of where all the action takes place with a map focusing on the Battle of Lion’s Gate space port, wrapped in vinyl for an opulent feel and stunning presentation.
Witch Hunter, Cadian Blood, and Astorath: Angel of Mercy
We’ve also got two Reader’s Choice books up for reprint, Witch Hunter and Cadian Blood, as well as the hardback of Astorath: Angel of Mercy – available for the first time since its release as a super-special edition last Christmas.
Another set of books you might have missed, these should all be great picks for anyone interested.
Sigismund: The Eternal Crusader (Limited Edition)
Sigismund: The Eternal Crusader will reveal everything there is to know about the stoic First Captain of the Imperial Fists and will be available as a limited edition hardback as part of the Black Library Celebration 2022.
With the Black Templars recent update, this book might go quickly, so be sure to grab it while you can after it goes live.
Eisenhorn Bookmark
Finally, there’s some new merch to round out the Black Library Celebration. Want to keep your place in a book with extreme prejudice? You need the Eisenhorn bookmark.
Straight outta the Seige of Terra series, two amazing characters are getting models, and hopefully, that means rules in Horus Heresy too.
Fafnir Rann
A celebrated officer of the Imperial Fists, Captain Rann was charged with the defence of the strategically vital Lions Gate Spaceport. He later joined the Templar Brethren, fighting alongside Sigismund and earning ever greater glory.
Not to mention he wades into battle with not one but TWO axes! Something about the blender that these guys must create in assault just screams, stay very very far away.
He’s a veritable mountain of stubborn strength, even for a superhuman Space Marine, wielding his signature twin power axes.
Dominion Zephon
Dominion Zephon had his Great Crusade cut short when he suffered terrible injuries at the hands of xenos warriors. No less a tech-adept than Arkhan Land – the (re)discoverer of the Land Raider and Land Speeder – created his new bionics and got him back in the fight. His jump pack lets him zip around the battlefield to bring his volkite serpenta pistols to wherever they can do the most damage.
Zephon, while not high-ranking, always seemed to find his way to the centre of the action. His body was shattered in battle just before the events of the Siege of Terra, and his extensive augmetic surgeries brought him into contact with a Tech-Priest by the name of Arkhan Land
This new Jump Pack character is right at home in the Blood Angels and can probably find a use in some 40k lists as a smash captain alternative mini with some conversion work.
He fought alongside the Adeptus Custodes, was recruited by Malcador the Sigillite, and fought on the front lines of the siege, fearlessly protecting and inspiring the soldiers at every turn. This incredible model shows his unusual bionic limbs, as well as the grace and fury of the Blood Angels.
With all the unique aspects of this model, it should make for a pretty fun painting and hobbying challenge too!
Two new star players are finally getting their models for the supplement that was released way back in fall of 2019! Get excited for Fungus the Loon and Bomber Dribblesnot to hit the pitch!
Fungus is the ultimate Goblin Fanatic, taking out opposition players with his Ball & Chain while Bomber chucks explosives to blow gaps in their defensive line.
That’s it for the new releases that will be hitting pre-order this week on February 19th, 2022!
