Hey folks! This is a (free) weekly Warhammer RPG column I've recently started, posting it here as this week's content is all about TOW (much about yesterday's terrific AMA, too!)

Hey folks! I hadn't planned on unveiling Black Library Bibliophiles yet on the Dispatch, but there were a few things in yesterday's Skulls fest worth talking about so away we go!

Hey folks! This week I’m diving down the Pariah Nexus rabbit hole, a 3-part 2023 series that perhaps tried to do just a little too much…

Buckle up, we've got a mega-sized action-packed Black Library Weekly for you this week! From a pocket history of one of the Black Library's saddest tales of what might have been, to the latest in our series of BL author book recommendations, truly something for everyone!
I've also incorporated some reader feedback this week to make for an even better reading experience. Enjoy!
Happy Lore Friday! This week we've got a look at Zardu Layak, The Crimson Apostle by Rich McCormick. A book of great ideas, but somewhat uneven execution.

Hey folks! I've continued to expand and develop The Black Library Dispatch, first as the home of Black Library Weekly and book content, then adding audibook reviews with the Audio Impressions series... and now I'm excited to start adding in some coverage of Warhammer's video offerings as well.
Show and Tell will take a look at the growing world of animations and other official content, and we begin today with the 2023 one-shot Iron Within.

Happy Monday, folks! A relatively quiet week in the world of the Black Library, all things considered, but we've got a few things to talk about- and another book giveaway!
Tabletop Battles is back this week with the next installment of the Heroes of the Black Library series. This week we're visiting the Mortal Realms with a deep dive into Maleneth Witchblade, assassin and onetime member of the Order of Azyr. The stories, the miniature, and even some decorations for your library!

Hey folks! This week's Lore Friday review is the recent Carnage Unending anthology featuring stories from Dan Abnett, Mike Brooks, Chris Wraight and more.
Like all anthologies a bit of a mix on what you get, but this collection was pretty good!

The latest from the Audio Impressions series, a sort of cross between a mini-book review and thoughts around its audiobook adaption. Today it's the oft-maligned Nemesis, by James Swallow, with a terrific performance (as ever) from Jonathan Keeble!
Happy Monday! So of course the mothership drops a new book teaser this morning (Armageddon: Season of Fire by Jude Reid), but for a look at the week that was there's a new Black Library Weekly up to start the week off right!

Hey folks! We had a new installment of the Black Library Readers' Hall of Fame yesterday, so that means there's another 'behind the scenes' installment over at the Black Library Dispatch. This time we're talking about the process itself- and warning, there's a little bit of math!
Above all, please make sure to vote in the Class of 2008!
(Normally we have the voting on Tabletop Battles- formerly Goonhammer- but a site upgrade has disabled polling for the moment, and the show must go on!)
2007 turned out to be a pretty lean year, as far as Hall of Fame books go- only three made the cut this time around.
Come check out the three that won, and make sure to cast your votes for which are the worthy inductees for the Class of 2008 as well!

Happy Lore Friday, folks! We've got a review over on Tabletop Battles (formerly Goonhammer) today from Mustercrux, diving into Ghost Legion by Mike Brooks!
Extra points (IMO) for pictures of the book alongside Alpha Legion minis, too.

A road trip to Texas has given me lots of opportunities to catch up on my Horus Heresy reading through audiobooks, and here I share thoughts on one I've really been keen to read, A Thousand Sons by Graham McNeill, as narrated by Gareth Armstrong.
Magnus as Homelander? It's more likely than you think...

Happy Monday, folks! A new week, a new Black Library Weekly!
