The Art of Warhammer Age of Sigmar and Warhammer Fantasy Battles
Black Library has been telling stories set in the various worlds of Warhammer for more than two decades. During this time, the heroes and villains of this dark and gritty fantastical setting have been immortalised through rich, dynamic illustrations. Here, for the first time, is a specially curated collection of Warhammer cover art from the Old World all the way through to the Mortal Realms.
Within, you’ll find detailed commentary on the creation and realisation of some of the greatest pieces of fantasy art ever committed to a novel cover. This book offers over 120 pieces of full-colour artwork, with notes about the artistic choices made during the design process, depicting many fan-favourite characters such as Gotrek, Nagash, Sigmar Heldenhammer, Malus Darkblade, and Thanquol. Inside, you’ll also find a brand new reimagining of the classic cover to William King’s much-loved Trollslayer.
Sanction & Sin
The colossal city of Varangantua sprawls across the surface of Alecto like a dying beast, its innards crawling with some of the most insidious criminals the Imperium has to offer. From vast syndicates to small-time gangs and secretive cults, the city’s labyrinthine districts are the perfect breeding ground for all manner of illicit enterprise. The Enforcers of Varangantua are all that stand in the way of total lawlessness, and many of these are as corrupt as the gangers they oppose, knowing no language but violence.
This anthology collects together tales of law, sin, and morality from much-loved authors, including Mike Brookes, Denny Flowers, Danie Ware, Darius Hinks, and more.

The Return of Nagash
The End Times are coming. As the forces of Chaos threaten to drown the world in madness, Mannfred von Carstein and Arkhan the Black put aside their difference and plot to resurrect the one being with the power to stand against the servants of the Ruinous Powers and restore order to the world – the Great Necromancer himself. As they set about gathering artefacts to use in their dark ritual, armies converge on Sylvania, intent on stopping them. But Arkhan and Mannfred are determined to complete their task. No matter the cost, Nagash must rise again.
