Overread Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Yes after doing well with Age of Sigmar I decided to start tackling the grand classic era of Warhammer! There are a LOT more books and short stories here, but unlike AoS there is far less silly messing around and the number of collected editions is at a much more sane level. Now the are a few things to note: 1) GW appears to be republishing some of these stories (in print and ebook format) in collected editions of series (and short stories). As a result some series presented here as individual listings might, at some point in the future, be released in a collected edition. Bare this in mind when purchasing; however there is no guarantee that any series will get collected together. 2) I have no idea as to time-lines with these. I have broadly kept the listings as they are shown on the Black Library website which roughly has the newest at the top and the oldest at the bottom. 3) I have split the listings into three groups for Novels; Collected editions (both collected books and short stories), multi-book series and stand alone books. Unlike the AoS page, if an individual book is part of a collected edition I only list the collected edition (which does show all books/short stories contained within on its listing). This is purely to make the listings easier to read for new people without having to keep cross referencing different lists. I've also done it on the expectation that most consulting this will be newer to the lore and setting and thus are likely making fresh purchases; where most collected editions prove to be the significantly cheaper choice. Collected Editions: Spoiler Mathias Thulmann: Witch Hunter (Witch Hunter, Witch, Finder, Witch Killer) The War of Vengeance (The Great Betrayal, Master of Dragons, The Curse of the Pheoenix Crown) Champions Of Chaos (Sigvald by Darius Hinks,Valkia the Bloody, Bloodraven, Blood Blessing, Reaper, Harbinger, Van Horstmann) Ulrika the Vampire: The Omnibus (Bloodborn, Bloodforged, Bloodsworn) The Sundering (Malekith, Shadow King, Caledor) Vampire Wars: The von Carstein Trilogy (Inheritance, Dominion, Retribution) The Rise of Nagash (Nagash the Sorcerer, Nagash the Unbroken, Nagash Immortal) The Legend of Sigmar (Heldenhammer, Empire, God-King, Let the Great Axe Fall, Gods of Flesh and Blood, Sword Guardian) **The Black Plague (Dead Winter, Blighted Empire, Wolf of Sigmar)** included in new omnibus Skaven Wars below Warhammer: The End Times Collection (The Return of Nagash, The Fall of Altdorf, The Curse of Khaine, The Rise of the Horned Rat, The Lord of the End Times) Death of the Old World (The Rise of the Horned Rat, The Lord of the End Times) - Repeat in End Times collection The Empire (Grimblades,Iron Company, Warrior Priest, The Miracle at Berlau, As Dead as Flesh, Dead Man's Hand, Sanctity, The Judgement of Crows, The March of Doom) Swords of the Empire (short story collection - Duty and Honour, ) Way of the Dead(What Price Vengeance, Three Knights, The Small Ones, The Road to Damnation, Mark of the Beast, Jahama's Lesson, Head Hunting, Glow, A Good Thief) Age of Legend (A Small Victory, Bloodraven, City of Dead Jewels, The Last Charge, The Ninth Book, The Gods Demand, Plague Doktor*, The City is Theirs, The Second Sun, Aenarion) Death & Dishonour (Red Snow, The Assassin's Dilemma, Rest Eternal, The Miracle at Berlau, Noblesse Oblige, The Last Ride of Heiner Rothstein, Broken Blood, The Judgement of Crows, Wolfshead) Masters of Steel and Stone (Grudge Bearer, Oathbreaker, Honourkeeper, The Doom of Dragonback, Ancestral Grudge, City of Dead Jewels) Tyrion and Teclis Omnibus (Blood of Aenarion, Sword of Caledor, Bane of Malekith) Warriors of the Chaos Wastes Omnibus (Wulfrik, Blood for the Blood God, Palace of the Plague Lord) Knights of the Empire (Hammers of Ulric, Reiksguard, Knight of the Blazing Sun, Dead Calm, Stromfel’s Teeth, Lords of the Marsh, Dead Man’s Party, Bernheimer’s Gun) Warlords of Karak Eight Peaks (Skarsnik, Headtaker, Thorgrim, The Karag Durak Grudge, The King of Black Crag) Skaven Wars: The Black Plague (Dead Winter, Blighted Empire, Wolf of Sigmar, Plague Priest, Plague Doktor, A Question of Faith, The Last Man) The Orion Trilogy (The Vaults of Winter, Tears of Isha, The Council of Beasts) Brunner The Bounty Hunter (Blood Money, Blood and Steel, Blood of the Dragon) Thanquol & Boneripper (Grey Seer, Temple of the Serpent, Thanquol’s Doom, Mind-Stealer, Thanquol Triumphant) Heroes of the Empire (Sword of Justice, Sword of Vengeance, Luthor Huss, Feast of Horrors, Duty and Honour, The March of Doom) Individual Series: Spoiler Gilead Lothain: 1 Gilead's Blood (unlisted short story collection) 2 Gilead's Curse Archaon duology: 1 Archaon: Everchosen 2 Archaon: Lord of Chaos The Blood of Nagash: 1 Neferata 2 Master of Death Slaves to Darkness: 1 The Claws of Chaos 2 The Blades of Chaos 3 The Heart of Chaos Ambassador Chronicles: 1 The Ambassador 2 Ursun's Teeth Storm of Magic: The Hour of Shadows Dragonmage Razumov's Tomb Calard: 1 Knight Errant 2 Knight of the Realm 3 Questing Knight 4 Grail Knight The Adventures of Florin and Lorenzo: 1 The Burning Shore 1.5 Haute Cuisine 2 Wild Kingdoms 3 Savage City Stand Alone books: Spoiler Graphic Novels; (comics) Condemned by Fire Crown of Destruction Forge of War Novels: Sigmar's Blood The Bloody-Handed (includes illustrations!)

Overread Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 I've now added all the novels and short stories that I can see on the Black Library website! I've done my best to put series together and make mention in short stories where they tie into major series, if anyone spots anything wrong or that could be added please please do say! Any help would be greatly appreciated and I hope to hear of the stories you've read and enjoyed in the thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted September 8, 2018 Author Share Posted September 8, 2018 New release added, Masters of Steel and Stone! Includes the Dwarfs series of Grudge Bearer, Oathbreaker and Honourkeeper. As well as the following stand along stories, The Doom of Dragonback, Ancestral Grudge and City of Dead Jewels (also featured in the Age of Legends collection) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPjr Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 no love for the Orfeo books (Zaragoz, Plague Daemon, Storm Warriors) or the likes of Drachenfels? been a long, long, long time since I read them but I remember they stood up to what I'd snootily term proper genre fiction, certainly the Orfeo ones treated chaos in a fairly interesting and nuanced way, Drachenfels was a bit more hammer horror but clearly intended to call back to classic gothic horror with some high camp thrown in, so Newman hit the mark there. actually are any of these still in print at all, or consigned to the GW equivalent of the Index Librorum Prohibitorum?

Overread Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 @JPjr they don't appear to be on the Black Library website at all, and I could only go by what they listed. Might be worth dropping BL an email about them as they are reprinting a lot of the old Classics in collected editions right now. If they are not currently listed it might be that its an oversight (since BL can sell digital books on their own without needing a paper copy so the cost should be minimal). However it could also be that they were made with contracts that BL doesn't own any more so they don't have distribution rights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPjr Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 @Overread I think they were pre-black library when it was just GW Books, though I don't think that would stop them in terms of copyright. Honestly from what I can remember of them I have a sneaking suspicion the Orfeo books at least don't quite 100% gel with the mid 90s onwards officially sanctioned view of the Warhammer world. Not that there's anything totally heretical about them, but from the little bits I've read of Black Library books I get the feeling they have a different flavour from what came after. Saying that I actually think I read that Drachenfels is getting a reprinting as part of their new line of Horror fiction. If they do hopefully it will be in its original unexpurgated form (some of the pre-BL books had things like sex scenes that I believe were bowdlerized in later editions and in some areas they clash with accepted 'canon'). Really worth reading if it is, I think most people who have rate it as one of the best GW based books published. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPjr Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 ah yes... https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/07/04/oh-the-horror/ Seems like they will be reprinting all of Kim Newman's 'Vampire Genevieve' novels, of which Drachenfels was the first. Really, really recommend picking them up when they do come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) Added and updated to include: Tyrion and Teclis Omnibus (Blood of Aenarion, Sword of Caledor, Bane of Malekith) Warriors of the Chaos Wastes Omnibus (Wulfrik, Blood for the Blood God, Palace of the Plague Lord) Knights of the Empire (Hammers of Ulric, Reiksguard, Knight of the Blazing Sun, Dead Calm, Stromfel’s Teeth, Lords of the Marsh, Dead Man’s Party, Bernheimer’s Gun) All are pre-orders coming out over the next few months. Note the short stories in Knights of the Empire appear to not be sold on the BL website on their own; so chances are they might be from Inferno Classic (which is being put on print-on-demand every few months, I believe January is when the next set goes on sale) or from other sources.

Overread Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 Updated the listing with the following upcoming books: (Feb) Gotrek and Felix: The Second Omnibus (Dragonslayer, Beastslayer, Vampireslayer, The Tilean’s Talisman, Lord of Undeath, The Two Crowns of Ras Karim, Prophecy, A Cask of Wynters) (April) Warlords of Karak Eight Peaks (Skarsnik, Headtaker, Thorgrim, The Karag Durak Grudge, The King of Black Crag) (May) Skaven Wars: The Black Plague (Dead Winter, Blighted Empire, Wolf of Sigmar, Plague Priest, Plague Doktor, A Question of Faith, The Last Man) So a few days from now and another big block of Gotrek and Felix and then two months with a focus on many things skaven and dwarven! Note that Skaven Wars includes the "Black Plague" collected book within it. I've kept the collected book listed but noted on its listing that its now present in the new collected edition with the other skaven stories as well.

Overread Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 Added the new Gotrek and Felix 3rd Omnibus edition to the post! Rather easy to see what will be in the 4th however considering how many of the short and stand alone stories are not within one of the current 3 I wonder if by the time we reach the 4th we might get a 5th of all the collected short stories and the like. Which would be a handy way to tie up the loose ends of Gotrek and Felix. Then again that might get bundled into 5th omnibus along with the End Times stories of the Duo.

Overread Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) I've also now added the Genevieve series from Warhammer Horror, note that Beasts in Velvet and Silver Nils are both pre-orders (though Silver Nails is a reprint of an older publication so can still be found in paperback) Note also both the Orion Trilogy and Brunner the Bounty Hunter series are slated for collected edition releases in coming soon. I've not added them to the list as yet as I don't have the actual contents for them (GW preview site doesn't show them). However you can assume that the stories listed in their respected series lists will appear, the question is really if there are any short stories that will get included as well.

RexHavoc Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 There is a fourth G&F collection coming and after that a collected G&F endtimes collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 Updated with the newest publications. Also note that upcoming is an Omnibus of the Thanquol and Boneripper series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 Updated with the newest publication of Thanquol and Boneripper. I've also put a mention that the Gotrek and Felix Anthology of short stories contains stories which are now all part of the omnibus editions of the stories. In addition note that Heroes of the Empire is coming in February - most likely containing at the very least Sword of Justice and Sword of Vengeance - might also have shorts but I don't know of any and far as I know BL hasn't released the contents of the book formally yet. Also note that if BL keeps publishing the collected story editions then we could well see all the listed series of tales released next year.

Overread Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 Updated with the new Heroes of the Empire book. I've also added the The Adventures of Florin and Lorenzo as a story collection so this just moved those included stories up from "stand alone" to the series listing. Also in May "Elves" by Graham McNeill is coming with 3 stories and 3 short stories. I'm assuming this will include his two novels "Sons of Ellyrion and Defenders of Ulthuan", though I'm not sure what the other contents might be.
