Some books will certainly be considered “locks,” and it’s going to be fun to see them as we crawl through the entire history 🤘

Hey folks, a HUGE initiative kicks off today as we're launching the Black Library Readers' Hall of Fame. Which books will be recognized for having the greatest “cultural, historical, or aesthetic significance” for the #BlackLibrary?

Come vote and make your voice heard!

“Fellas, what’s stopping you from looking like this?”

My shelves are sorted by genre (40K vs Fantasy), type (softcover, hardcover), size, and then alpha by author.

So it’s by random chance that today’s new addition is making an already stacked section of the library even more epic 🤘

This is the second time in recent memory where the pictures of the book did no justice to how gorgeous it is in person (the last time was @squintywitch.bsky.social ‘s Fulgrim).

This is a stunning treatment of @malkydel.bsky.social’s Krakenblood.

Regardless the setting, the trope of robot fetishists’ rejection of emotion as a messy, human weakness is (over) abundant. Loved to see @johnfrench.bsky.social here play against it for this AdMech sister

“Murder is just choosing who should die rather than leaving it to chance.”

That goes hard as hell. 🤘

Fabius Bile talking to an Emperor’s Children Astartes as he turns down the sensory level in his brain is sending me. I take the same tone with the kids. “You might want to play video games all day, but you have chores to do…” 😂

Safe travels and much adventure, Joyce!

I’m so sorry to hear this, Danie, watching our loved ones go through this is never, ever easy. A blessing to have so many good years to love and be loved.

Heads up! If you missed out on the Krakenblood Special Edition, looks like a few more have been restocked in the US store. 🤘

A vividly evocative description of the warp that feels very Frenchian, if you will. Delightful!

Sure is, landed just yesterday! 🤘

While I usually read one book at a time, when I unwittingly left my current book in the car and my wife is out this evening, a fella’s gotta do what a fella’s gotta do. Moving on to the next book- at least for the evening! 🤘

Interesting moment in @skullqueen.bsky.social ‘s new Twilight Imperium book. If a character- from exalted leader down to simple peasant- had to fit their most important items in a single box, what items would they put in there?

Reluctant soldiers pining for the agrarian life is one of my favorite tropes, can’t wait to read this.

Got it! Special Edition of The Relentless Dead, the newest Krieg book from Steve Lyons

Happy Warhammer Day once again! 🤘

Happy Warhammer Day, to those who celebrate!

I picked up a bunch of goodies for the #BlackLibrary Museum. 🤘

Weekend reminder that I wrote some cool L5R short fiction earlier this year. Free to read, and if you want to see more, be sure to let Aconyte know! www.legendofthefiverings.com/the-beauty-o...

Just to clarify, a successor only that it's also featuring the Night Lords. 👍

Happy Lore Friday!

Some of us dare to dream the impossible dream. 😂

I will say that my current audiobook, David Annandale’s The House of Night and Chain (part of Warhammer Horror) is about as close a book as I’ve seen. And it’s extraordinary.
