Hey fellow Warhammer fans! The new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar is kicking off in style, and the Skaventide launch set is just the beginning of some mind-blowing releases. But that’s not all! The wordsmiths at Black Library have been hard at work creating new stories to immerse us even deeper into the Mortal Realms. Let’s dive into the latest novels that are about to hit the shelves!
On the Shoulders of Giants and Other Stories
Ever wondered what it’s like to be a Fusil-Major riding on top of a hulking Ogor Warhulk? Well, wonder no more! “On the Shoulders of Giants and Other Stories” is an anthology featuring an opening tale by the acclaimed Adrian Tchaikovsky, who also wrote “Day of Ascension.”
- Main Story: Fusil-Major Rosforth, after a career-ending injury, is paired with Slobda, a ferocious ogor now serving Sigmar. Their odd partnership is put to the test as they face an overwhelming Skaven invasion in Ghyran. Imagine fleeing from millions of plague-ridden ratmen while trying to keep a desperate group of survivors safe. Talk about high stakes!
- Other Stories: The anthology also includes tales from other talented authors like Noah Van Nguyen and Liane Merciel. Each story offers a unique glimpse into the chaotic and heroic lives of those in the Mortal Realms.
Anvils of the Heldenhammer: The Ancients
Next up is “Anvils of the Heldenhammer: The Ancients” by Dale Lucas. This novel picks up 20 years after Morathi-Khaine’s audacious grab for divine power, which saw the city of Anvilgard ripped from Sigmar’s grasp.
- Plot: Knight-Incantor Tivrain Greymantle is haunted by the souls of her comrades, Stormcast Eternals who were trapped beneath Anvilgard (now Har Kuron) instead of being returned to Azyr. Forbidden by her superiors from engaging with Sigmar’s allies to free them, she takes matters into her own hands. Her journey is fraught with danger as she traverses the steamy jungles of the Circle of Life, pursued by Khorne’s Bloodbound. And that’s not all – she must also face the fanatical Khainites within the city.
- Themes: This novel dives deep into themes of loyalty, defiance, and the relentless fight against Chaos. Tivrain’s mission is a thrilling blend of personal redemption and epic battles.
