As per the sacred traditions, in accordance to the rites of our ancestosr, the previous thread has been closed as it reached 350 replies.

Thus, I initiate a new thread in which all of our Warhammer discussions, debates, theorizing and memes shall be had.

Behave well on this thread, children, for rage and disorder are the mark of the spiritually impure, and impurity leads to Chaos. No heretic shall be spared.

Okay, this time we have a truckload of news and announcements, mostly due to the Black Library Weekender and the Blood and Glory Studio Preview. Let's get through them one at a time.

Let's start with Black Library books cause those have A LOT of stuff as is.

First there was the release of the six-part Age of Sigmar Audio Drama Audiodrama, Realmslayer, featuring none other than BRIAN BLESSED as the lead actor.

In similar vein to that, we will later receive the release of Our Martyred Lady, a four part Audio Drama featuring Inquisitor Greyfax and Saint Celestine. So everyone who likes 40K and Yuri look forward to that.

Also coming out is the first issue of Inferno, the magazine featuring a collection of all new Short Stories - including some select from fan submissions. Also releasing is a new Christmas Novella Collectio, offering 10 short novels for a very small price.

Also we are getting more information on Warhammer Horror, Black Library's brand of more mature, less action-oriented stories dedicated to telling the horror of the 41st Millennium from the perspective of those not capable of punching it in the face. Have some covers.

We are also seeing the announcement of new standalone books, some by new authors even. Covers here. I'm specially interested in that it seems we're getting Imperial Guard novels with female Commissar / Guardswoman protagonists.

Was there anything else in novels? ... Oh yeah. HORUS HERESY: SIEGE OF TERRA

The final books of the Horus Heresy, detailing the Siege of Terra, will start being released on 2019. I can't believe we're finally here.

But that's not all. This is only the novel side. Wait warmly until I show you the tabletop news.

Now for the tabletop news...

Firstly, the 8th Edition Ork Codex came out along with a ton of new Ork Vehicle models, and the Ork-centered game "Speed Freeks". So that's cool if you're a Greenskin fan.

More interesting for me, is everything that came with it. Firstly, there were new teasers and models for Age of Sigmar and Necromunda content, including Realm of Chaos, which shows new Khorne and Slaanesh models. Finally!

Meanwhile on the 40K side, let's talk about Vigilus...

A fortress world located on the edge of Imperium Nihilus, Vigilus represents one of the few safe and stable routes through the Great Rift, and as such is a world of utmost importance to the Imperium. Naturally, it also attracts conflict like moths to a flame.

From Genestealer Cult uprising, Ork and Drukhari raids, and now conflict with Aeldari of the Saim-Heim Craftworld, Vigilus is being teased as the "Next Chapter" for the Warhammer 40,000 storyline. Important things will happen on this world.

Finally, Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress. A new specialist game about a group of unlikely allies travelling to acquire the newly discovered 7th Blackstone Fortress, and having to contend with alien, robot and Chaos threats. The models are sick to say the absolute list.

Among the models are really unusual choices such as a Rogue Trader, a renegade Aeldari Sniper, Imperial Priests, an Inquisitor, a Kroot mercenary, a mech robot... And squats? Also stuff like traitor Guardsmen and Beastmen on the Chaos enemy side.

All in all, GeeDubs really outdid themselves.
 
Anyone know where I can grab Dataslate: Officio Assassinorum? Wanted to look some stuff over about them.
 
I think it was 7th, but I cant find it anywhere. Legit or not.
 
I live in the USA so my completely legal procurement of this through an official distributor is ok
 
No more pictures of spiderman

Good to see your avatar is now an Ace of Spades' lovechild with Sans.
Sans Undertale has had his revenge by creating an offspring who I'm sure will also go on to spawn hideous memes.
 
Matt you should link that interview here you linked me in chat a few days ago, I wasn't able to listen to it and lost the link.
 
What race/faction are you most interested in rn
 
The Imperium, so far. I just watched the History of the Imperium videoes by Luetin09 and wew... I'm suprised 40k has such lore. It should be made into a film saga.
 
Chaos Marines best faction

Personally I'm most interested in Chaos and the sketchier/more secretive portions of the Imperium, like the Assassinorum.

Ah. Luetin09's videos are amazing.

Realizing now that with how much more specific the wiki has gotten at classifying conceptual beings and abstract existence, the Chaos Gods (and pretty much any notable daemon) should probably have their pages updated, a bit.
 
Haven't played, so I can't say, either way.

Heard mixed reviews, but that it's far from a terrible game.

Story and atmosphere are apparently pretty strong, if you're getting it for that.
