Here:
Daemon Tide
Three Imperial sectors are overrun by a vast army of the immaterium referred fearfully to as the Daemon Tide. Deploying into the Daemons' path, five knightly houses ― led by the renowned Nobles of Terryn ― form an adamant bastion to halt the rampage. Using swift-loping packs of Armiger Helverins and Warglaives, High Queen Desmadara Terryn channels the Daemons through the shattered valleys of Godsmote. As the warp-born creatures spill onto the Hollow Plain they are subjected to thunderous bombardment by two dozen Knights Castellan. The Daemons' casualties are phenomenal, yet with no concept of fear they surge onward to exact revenge. Over six hundred Questoris-class Knights storm out to meet them, enduring barrages of sorcery, flame and filth that send towering Knight suits toppling in ruin.
With Queen Desmadara and her Exalted Court at the lance-point, the Knights slam into the still-vast daemonic horde. They carve a path of annihilation to its heart, the ground shaking beneath their tread, unclean ichor drenching their legs.
Though empyric fiends and coruscating warp energies tear down one Knight after another, their momentum is unstoppable. At last, with reaper chainswords howling and thunderstrike gauntlets crackling, the Exalted Courts of three knightly houses engage the masters of the Daemon Tide. The battle that follows is so grandiose and cataclysmic that it spawns a hundred songs, tales and tapestries. Several heroic Knights are slain by the enormous Great Unclean One Bolothrax, before the Knights Valiant known as Master of Iron and Fellbreaker successfully pinion the foul abomination with their thundercoil harpoons. With their quarry unable to move, the Knights hack the mighty Daemon apart.
Bolothrax's banishment spells the end for the Daemon Tide, though they wreak much more destruction before they finally fade back into the warp. It is on that day that Bolothrax's unending grudge against House Terryn and all its descendants is born.

New books revealed and leaked:
https://www.warhammer-community.com...s-here-and-so-is-soul-warsgw-homepage-post-2/
Soul Wars looks really really good, to be quite honestly. Though I would only read it after getting through the Realmgate Wars and some other books. They are treating it as the big "Introduction to Age of Sigmar" novel, though, sorta like Dark Imperium.
Cool to see a Yarrick Omnibus, too.
But now onto the new stuff:
https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/06/16/black-library-live-the-big-reveals/
Cover art for Realmslayer, the Age of Sigmar Audiobook with Brian Blessed, was just revealed.
Speaking of covers, damn do these Stormcast Novels have amazing artwork!
On the 40K side, we will be getting a Celestine Novel by Andy Clark, which according to the post will reveal a lot more about her character than was previously known. Aaron Dembski-Bowden is writting a Primaris Novel, titled The Separs of the Emperor. And my God, look at that art.
On the sequel side, we are getting Dark Imperium: Plague Wars, which will finally detail the battle between Guilliman and Mortarion in a story. As well as Rise of the Ynnari: Wild Rider, which from what I understand is Ynnari and Saim-Hein Vs Necrons.
On the Horus Heresy side, the Corax novel got leaked, we are getting a new anthology (Another one, uugh), and some Audio Dramas. Also a new edition of Visions of Heresy, it seems.

Warhammer releasing books more into the horror territory seems interesting considering the verse. There's definitely a lot of potential to make that work if the right writers are used. Your link to the Ynnari stuff is broken though.

I mean, there's already a lot of rather horrific things present in other stories, but its not really the main focus and a lot of it is fridge horror. That's not necessarily bad, but them taking a new direction into dedicated horror stories is pretty intriguing, especially as someone who appreciates the cosmic horror and more nihilistic aspects of the setting likely more than average.

So about this bit on the EoM's page:
Doesn't perceive time linearly/Possible Acausality (When Horus Lupercal time traveled into the past and witnessed his creation, the Emperor recognized and knew who he was),
Wouldn't it be a lot less of a stretch to say this is just the emperor's precog, than to say it's acausality?

Nah, being basically a human chaos god he's got really crazy levels of acausality anyways. Plus, when that happened he was reacting to Horus's presence in the past and stuff despite that not having happened the first time around, and there's other stuff indicative of him not percieving time linearly.

@Monarch
This has actually happened thrice with people sending their souls to the past and the Emperor being aware of them and knowing who they are.
And really, every random daemon is acausal because of what their true nature is. The Emperor, who is a Chaos God-type entity not being that, is kinda silly.

Not being acasual in the warp would be silly sure, but in the materium?
Knowing who future people are can still just be showings of his precog though.

Alright then
I just think the justification should be changed then, seeing as it's current justification isn't very explicit.

The problem with the Emperor is that outside of like three novels, he has no major roles in the Horus Heresy books, and if he appears it is typically like one scene only in a novel.

Couldn't it just be a more generic "he's like a warp god" type thing?
"his true essence is within the warp, which is free of linear time and causality" or something

I'm inclined to say probably not off the top of my head. I wonder if we'll get more stuff with the lower end of the psyker scale like that, I've always found the idea of the anti psyker interesting. It would fit well if they decided to have malal make a return, twisting a bunch of hos followershis followers into pariahs or something.

Actually, what if 40k is in universe just 40k the tabletop game being played by the tier 1s
Emperor is that annoying dude with the OP self insert, who hypocritically bans the others from doing the same, ynnead is running really late to the game and they just started without him, so now his stuffs getting ruined, khorne can't deal with losing the game so he makes up rules about what his oponents can or can't do on the fly, skarbrand got banned from playing with everyone etc
It's real woke hours out here
