Yeah :( Don't expect GW to maintain a strict release schedule of 1 new episode a week. Episode 2 might show up in another week...maybe two? Maybe it doesn't even come out until middle of October. Who knows. What do you think this is? Netflix?

I must be the only person that loved the ending of Seveneves. And Anathem. And Snow Crash. And the diamond age. And Zodiac

I think the ending of all those are pretty much the weakest parts of said books. But I still really enjoyed every one of them.

Coming out next week.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/09/24/sunday-preview-codex-space-marines-slams-into-action/

Do you want some books? Of course ya do!

Next week's big pre-order is Genefather by Guy Haley.


Comes in Hardback, ebook and audiobook. And the usual special edition limited to like 1200-2000 copies. Which also comes with an extra short story, which is different.

Oddly enough the number isn't actually specified this time around.

Then we have the paperback release of Wrath of the Lost by Chris Forrester.


Then we have the audiobook version of Only in Death.


Lastly, we have an AoS themed eshorts week, featuring stories by Jonathan Green, Rhuairidh James, Gary Kloster, C L Werner, and Noah Van Nguyen.

No idea, they never mention the narrator for those in the previews. So either you'll find out on the BL page when it comes up for pre-order, or when you start listening to it. v:v:v

While the space marine side of The Great Work wasn't its most compelling, it was a good book in general I'd say with some really interesting character work. I think Guy Haley is really good when he's doing something where he doesn't have to paint by numbers sell the new models of space marine, with the marketing team breathing down his neck. He's been pretty open that being assigned the tie in novel to a product launch has way more impositions on it.

i like the perturabo book. the hrud stuff kinda drags but it works with the theme the book is going for that perty could solve most of his issues by being asertive or at least doing what he wants to do but instead he just sulks and bitches and waits for someone to feed him compliments.

That's a tuesday though. GW doesn't release books in the middle of the week.
In which case I figure it'll maybe come out on the 27th, and then the third party retailers get it later.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/09/27/graham-mcneills-classic-storm-of-iron-returns-in-a-dazzling-hardback/

It's now Storm of Iron's time to get a reprint with a newer cover. That's about it.



Whenever this book crops up I'm reminded of a post on an old 40k fanfic forum I hung out on in aeons past, wherein someone mentioned they hated the book so much they threw it against a wall.

No shade on ADB's health issues - I've seen the blog posts about his personal struggles - but I have a feeling the third Black Legion book is wrapped up in the same situation with the third Bequin book, in that I think whatever drops in EatD vol 3 opens the floodgates.

Very cool. I sometimes think about all of the old Warhammer stuff (both Fantasy and 40k) that I picked up in the late 90's/early 00's that would be serious nostalgia bait today if I would have had the foresight to keep it.

Well, Sons of the Forge was better than the rest of Born of Flame, if nothing else. Is the ending there the only bit in the series that flashes forward to the 41st millennium?

I have a lore question that I'm unable to find a solid answer to. In the Sanction & Sin anthology, the short story "The Siege of Ismyr" by Victoria Hayward there is a captain sanctioner (patrol police) that is asked if she was military. In response, she says, "Not quite. Panthera." The other mention during the story was her use of satrophine, which they used in the Panthera at times when they were injured and needed to still keep fighting. Her role was a sniper in whatever this unit was. The only thing in wikis is that a Panthera was a star fighter in 30k and the name of a war hound titan.

It doesn't sound like planetary defense and it's not a type of enforcer sub-group that has been mentioned before. Maybe this is just some sort of para-militarum group that the author made up?

The Imperium varies wildly from planet to planet. It sounds like a local paramilitary force.

IIRC the hardbacks are limited run and not available regularly so anyone selling it on amazon or ebay is second hand or scalping
