Whether that’s as standalone tales or in an anthology (this exact one, or something different) remains to be seen. It might prove a little contentious, being an exclusive product and also not getting a Limited Edition release to match the novels…although I think it’s a safe assumption that these stories will get general releases at some point. It’s due out in May, with the synopsis available on the BL website.Īn event- and Warhammer World-only hardback anthology of Primarchs short stories, featuring eight new stories from John French, Aaron Demsbki-Bowden, Nick Kyme, Gav Thorpe, Guy Haley, LJ Goulding, Graham McNeill and Dan Abnett. I’ll get this read and reviewed as soon as I can, but it’s sounding like a really interesting exploration of a slightly different side to the Vlka Fenryka than we’ve seen before. Looking back to 2017’s Heresy Weekender and the scarcity of new stuff available there, I think you’ll agree that this year we had a pretty good selection of things to spend money on!īook 49 in the Horus Heresy series…can you believe we’re up to 49?! Guy gave a reading from this in one of the seminars, focusing on a different section to his reading at the BL Weekender in November, with fewer opportunities for excellent Space Wolf voices but more of a feel for what the overall book is going to be like. Mostly these were Horus Heresy titles, as you’d expect, although all of the Necromunda print on demand books were also available (on the website they’re now only available in digital form) along with a few paperback editions and omnibuses that haven’t hit shelves yet. In case you don’t want to trawl through the whole article, I’ll talk about all the Black Library stuff first, beginning with the pre-release or exclusive books that were available to buy. Unlike the Black Library Weekender I’m not going to do quite such a comprehensive write up looking at individual seminars, but I do want to talk a little bit about the event overall, and relay some interesting Black Library-related information I picked up while I was there. As you might expect, that was the main draw for me at this event – I do like the miniatures and the games, but my main interest is always the fiction, so I focused my attention for the most part on that side of things over the weekend. It’s a bit of a mouthful – doesn’t exactly trip off the tongue – but there you go.Īs always, Black Library were in attendance with a range of guests to support their Horus Heresy fiction line, and also to talk about upcoming Necromunda releases. While you could look at this as the first step towards a future Forge World Weekender, covering all of the different games created and supported by Forge World, this year’s event it was officially labelled the Horus Heresy and Necromunda Weekender. The weekend of the 3rd and 4th of February saw a few hundred Warhammer fans descend upon the Nottingham Belfry for the sixth annual Horus Heresy Weekender event, except in 2018 the mould was broken with the addition of Necromunda.
