As something of a palate cleanser from the bitter taste of that Charles Platt column, here’s an altogether lovelier account from Ian Watson.

Treat the material with respect, and you get better results (and more work). It's a no-brainer, really.

Warhammer folk, I need your guidance.

I have not read the Dawn of Fire series yet, will I be able to follow and understand the new Master of Rites book by Rob Young? It follows the ultramarine Ferren Areios.

While I’m at it, should I dig into Dawn of Fire?

Loads to talk about this week, which continues the conversation around the possible role of consumer fatigue for #BlackLibrary collectors.

And best of all, six book recommendations from Deathworlder and Nightsider Imperialis author @writervh.bsky.social!

LIBRARY ACQUISITION 11/16

It was my birthday Friday (51!), and this just felt like a slightly-delayed, delightfully-received gift. 😊

Charles Platt’s column about his rejected #Warhammer novel from Interzone #36 (June 1990) is quite a take... he admits not taking the material seriously, turning in a pre-pubescent power fantasy, and then gets aggrieved when Drachenfels comes out.

LIBRARY ACQUISITION 11/15

Perhaps it wasn’t the most popular SE aesthetically, but it already had a place picked out in my museum!

Great intro from Robbie MacNiven, too 🤘

Panicked as I lost track of time and missed the opening of today’s preorder window for the Special Edition of Steel Tread (considering the article I’m in the middle of writing the irony is delicious)

Luckily there were still copies available at 1:04pm. 🤔

Can I just say I love the humility and earnestness that @malkydel.bsky.social brings to writing the Black Library. The “I can only run because others have walked” vibes in his Krakenblood intro are a delight. This IP only lives on in 2025 because of the love we have for it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ I always say 40k is best in short stories, and Darkness Eternal didn't disappoint. Also, there's 3 stories about tau, which I loved, including one story qith an all Kroot POV #WarhammerCommunity #BlackLibrary
