Tons of Black Library Books Revealed at Warhammer Fest
All next week, from Monday to Saturday, we’ll be packing each day with reveals of brand new things coming to Warhammer, as well as hearing from some of the teams behind them. It’ll be just like you’re there in person, watching the panels live.
Each day will be themed around one particular part of the Warhammer hobby, so check the schedule below and find out when your favorite games are coming up. Trust us when we say you’ll want to see everything anyway – there are some spectacular reveals on the way.
You can tune in to Warhammer Community from Monday 3rd May to see all of the reveals as they happen from 6 pm (BST) onwards, or catch them live on Twitch.
If you want to learn more about the Sabbat worlds, you’re in for a treat! There are a bunch of books just on that, but also the showdown of the White Scars and the Death Guard, Necrons, Warhammer Crime, and the Iron Serpents.
The Vincula Insurgency
Dan Abnett’s new novel takes us back to the earliest days of Ibram Gaunt and the Tanith First, where you’ll learn about a dark secret that’s haunted them ever since.
This mega limited edition includes a beautifully bound copy of the book itself, plus a whole host of extras. You’ll find a pair of maps, a cap pin, coins, art, a metal memory box, and loads more. Also included is a datasheet with rules to use Gaunt’s Ghosts in your games of Warhammer 40,000.
Sabbat War
This anthology takes you to the very forefront of the blistering action in the Sabbat Worlds. It features new stories from some of your favorite authors, including Dan Abnett (naturally), Graham McNeill, John French, Matthew Farrer, and Rachel Harrison.
Sabbat Worlds Crusade
This in-universe reference book is packed with art and background covering the sprawling Sabbat Worlds Crusade. This limited-edition tome includes notes that add further depth to the lore, plus illustrations, maps, charts, and details about key theatres and conflicts in the campaign. If you’re a fan of Gaunt’s Ghosts, you don’t want to miss this companion guide.
Urdesh: The Serpent and the Saint
The next chapter in the ongoing Sabbat Worlds saga focuses on Urdesh. Here, the Iron Snakes are on a mission to prevent a potent living weapon from falling into the hands of the Anarch. The fate of the entire crusade hangs in the balance. In the end, will it all have been for nothing?
Ibram Gaunt Bookmark
We’ve got one more special item to top off the Gaunt’s Ghosts reveals.
Though Dan Abnett is known to pen absolute page-turners, you MAY have to put your book down from time to time. What better way to save your spot than with this collectible bookmark? Show your support for Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt and the heroic soldiers he leads to battle.
Volpone Glory
The Volpone Bluebloods take on the Blood Pact in a brutal grind to liberate Gnostes as war rages across the Sabbat Worlds. What seems like a fairly direct campaign is complicated by mounting casualties and the unfathomable machinations of the enemy. The Volpone must prevail, through glory and honour.
Siege of Terra: Warhawk
The siege enters a frantic new phase as the Traitor vanguard nears the heart of the Palace. The defenders abandon caution, launching desperate gambits to hold them off for as long as possible. Jaghatai Khan, Warhawk of Chogoris, springs into action with a scheme of his own – a counter-offensive aimed at taking back the critical Lion’s Gate space port. He prepares to face down an old enemy, who’s now empowered by foul energies beyond understanding. The Warhawk knows that defeat could mean the end of his Legion and of Terra itself.
Broken City
This anthology includes the novella Bleedout, along with six short stories concerning the dogged probators, brutal sanctioners, and ruthless gangers that call the crime-riddled, urban sprawl of Varangantua their home.
Traitor Rock
If you thought Cadia was going to let the shattering of their homeworld stop them, you must not be keeping up with the news. The Cadian 101st, led by Minka Lesk, is taking the fight to the traitors on Malouri. Will their faith and pride keep them fighting? Or will the meat-grinder siege break them down?
The Twice-Dead King – Ruin
The disgraced Necron lord Oltyx must overcome his bitterness and return to the very court that cast him out to bring news of an Ork invasion. Expecting the worst, Oltyx discovers that the Orks are the least of the horrors that face him and the entire empire of the Necrons.
Steel Tread
Head inside a mighty Leman Russ Demolisher, as an outsider takes command of a dysfunctional crew of Cadians. Faced with the fight of their life under the poisonous light of the Great Rift, the disparate team must learn to work together if they want to survive the conflict with the corrupted followers of the Ruinous Powers.
