Classic Inferno! Print on Demand Collection Issues 36-45
Inferno! magazine was the very first publication from Black Library, way back in the wild days of 1997. A bi-monthly magazine gathering together short stories, comics, art and interesting features, it delved into the worlds of Warhammer in a way that codexes and rulebooks couldn’t – and acted as a launching point for new writers and characters who soon found their way into novels, and sometimes even games!
This collection comprises ten issues and features will immerse you in the grim darkness of Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Fantasy Battles through a series of incredible tales.
Includes stories, comics, art and features by a wide range of authors and artists.
Each issue can also be picked up individually for 1/10th the price.
Ravenor (Limited Edition)
When his body is hideously damaged in an enemy attack, it looks as though Inquisitor Gideon Ravenor’s promising career would be abruptly brought short. Now, encased in a life support system that keeps him alive but forever cuts him off from the physical world, Ravenor utilises his formidable mental powers to continue his investigations. Along with his retinue of warriors and assassins, Gideon Ravenor fights to protect an Imperium he can no longer see, hear, or feel.

Siege of Terra: Solar War (Book 1)
After seven years of bitter war, the end has come at last for the conflict known infamously as the Horus Heresy. Terra now lies within the Warmaster’s sights, the Throneworld and the seat of his father’s rule. Horus’ desire is nothing less than the death of the Emperor of Mankind and the utter subjugation of the Imperium. He has become the ascendant vessel of Chaos, and amassed a terrible army with which to enact his will and vengeance. But the way to the Throne will be hard as the primarch Rogal Dorn, the Praetorian and protector of Terra, marshals the defences. First and foremost, Horus must challenge the might of the Sol System itself and the many fleets and bulwarks arrayed there. To gain even a foothold on Terran soil, he must first contend the Solar War. Thus the first stage of the greatest conflict in the history of all mankind begins.

Blood Bowl is a sport of unrivalled violence where death and dismemberment are all part of the game. Rules – what rules?

Gotrek and Felix: The Fifth Omnibus
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 on whom you ask…
Racing towards the besieged dwarf hold of Karak Kadrin, Gotrek and Felix battle to thwart the brutal leader of a Grand Chaos army, Warlord Garmr. Upon arriving, the infamous duo is charged by Ungrim Ironfist with a suicidal task: to prevent the creation of a portal to the Realm of Chaos itself. On another quest, far away in the vast deserts of Nehekhara, Gotrek and Felix are captured by the undead Queen Khalida and forced to fight her enemies across the sun-baked Land of the Dead. But, as the unlikely pair are swiftly reminded, the dead do not stay buried for long…
