If your hobby shelf needs fresh lore fuel, DK has you covered.
Two new books are out right now, with another incoming soon. As veterans know, good reference books speed up painting and list brewing. Moreover, they make perfect gifts when your backlog already looks like Cadia. Meanwhile, these releases hit different audiences, yet they all ooze grimdark charm.
Warhammer 40,000 Character Encyclopedia: Out Now and Packed With Icons
This hefty guide spotlights more than 120 characters across every 40k faction. You get crisp miniature photography, lore snippets, and pointers to novels and media. Crucially, there is a pronunciation guide, so Abaddon finally stops starting arguments. Additionally, the book includes a blue plastic Captain Titus miniature for your display or kitbash bin. As DK’s team explains, it is a canonical overview, curated for both newcomers and lore lifers.
Words of War: The Miniature Book of Space Marine Quotes
Need a pocket morale booster between games or during a painting sprint. This tiny volume distills the thunderous bravado of the Angels of Death. Consequently, it is perfect beside your wet palette or tucked into a battle case. Furthermore, it doubles as ready caption fodder for army spotlights and event photos.
The Art of Warhammer Video Games: Pre-Order Soon, Then Feast
Later this year, DK drops a large format art book spanning Warhammer video games. Expect concept sheets, promo pieces, weapons callouts, and lush environment spreads. It is penned by Studio alumnus Andy Hall, with curation that digs deep into archives. Moreover, the team narrowed mountains of art to the most revealing, nostalgic works. On top of that, you get codes for Vermintide, Battlesector, and Realms of Ruin, plus a Captain Titus unlock for Tacticus.
Do Not Sleep On The Ultimate Guide
Last year’s Warhammer 40,000: The Ultimate Guide was DK’s best-selling licensed book. Therefore, pair it with the Character Encyclopedia for an instant lore toolbox. Additionally, with the festive season looming, these books solve gift dilemmas fast. Your future self will thank you when rules night turns into story night.
Summary
In short, DK’s lineup serves three moods. You can study heroes and villains with the Character Encyclopedia, or channel power armor bravado with Words of War. Soon, you can also soak in decades of game art with The Art of Warhammer Video Games. Consequently, your painting, gaming, and lore chops all level up together. Grab the two in stock, then pre-order the art book, and keep your crusade rolling.
