Alright, Necron fans, gather around because we’ve got some seriously awesome news coming out of the Black Library that’s going to make you want to power up your Gauss rifles and get ready for some epic storytelling.
The Twice-Dead King Box Set
First up, let’s talk about Nate Crowley’s The Twice-Dead King Box Set. This isn’t just any ordinary set – it’s a limited edition masterpiece that dives deep into the twisted mind of the disgraced Necron Lord Oltyx. Now, Oltyx isn’t your typical Necron automaton; thanks to a clever Cryptek, his consciousness was split into five subordinate minds, all capable of chatting with him and each other. This makes Oltyx the perfect protagonist for a tale of revenge, war, and the kind of existential musings only a being of living metal could have.
This box set is a real treat for the eyes too. It’s decked out in Necron-green and includes three books: The Twice-Dead King: Ruin, The Twice-Dead King: Reign, and Severed and Other Stories. Each book features stunning new covers with bronze foil accents, ribbon bookmarks, and full-color internal art that’ll make any Necron fan swoon. Plus, the box itself is emblazoned with Nate Crowley’s signature – a true collector’s piece for anyone who loves the lore of these ancient metal warriors.
The Infinite and The Divine Special Edition
But wait, there’s more! Remember when we got teased about a special edition of The Infinite and The Divine by Robert Rath? Well, it’s finally here, rising from its hypercrypt like a Necron waking from a long slumber, and it’s everything we hoped for. This is one of Black Library’s finest books and one I highly recommend.
This special edition is wrapped in a sleek white and green cover, with printed page edges that match the artwork from the standard edition. Inside, you’ll find the short story The War in the Museum, an afterword from Robert Rath, and his signature. It’s got a green ribbon bookmark (because what’s a special edition without one?) and full-color art of the original cover that’ll make you want to frame it.
As for the story, if you haven’t read it yet, you’re in for a treat. The Infinite and The Divine stars two of the most entertaining and eccentric Necrons in the entire 40k universe – Orikan the Diviner and Trazyn the Infinite. These two are the ultimate odd couple, locked in a centuries-long game of cat-and-mouse over a powerful relic that could reveal a massive secret from the Necron empire’s past. Their banter, their schemes, and the sheer scale of their shenanigans are what make this story a must-read. By the end of it, you’ll see how their rivalry shapes the fate of an entire planet.
Final Thoughts
Both of these special editions are a celebration of everything that makes the Necrons so damn cool – their ancient history, their complex personalities, and the epic scale of their stories. Whether you’re a long-time Necron fan or just getting into the lore, these editions are definitely worth pre-ordering. Get ready to dive into the mind of living metal warriors who’ve seen it all – and lived to tell the tale!
