WARHAMMER SERIES ANNOUNCED!

If you haven’t heard of Warhammer, I’m sorry. Not for me, but for you.
But don’t worry. You’ll soon be assimilated into The Emperor’s Will. We all will be.

Warhammer Fantasy, and it’s bigger brother Warhammer 40,000, is a cold, terrifying, gothic, brutal, and absolutely addictive set of tabletop games and stories that is available in almost every language in every city of every country in the known world.

Warhammer 40,000 is an immersive saga in the military sci-fi genre that has been turning into a global powerhouse since 1987. I truly believe it is the only remaining modern myth, after Star Wars.

There simply is not enough time.

Warhammer is dense with lore. No, that’s not quite right. it’s monstrous.

Yes, I own a copy of the holy tome. And yes, I will be buried with it.

These are just 24 of the 45+ titles within JUST ONE SERIES called The Horus Heresy.

And there’s more…

Annnd more…
Seriously. This is a paltry collection compared to others. Don’t judge me.
And yes. I have a LOT of bones. #research.

While we wait to see if any original stories remain to be told within the context of our current creative, sci-fi-fantasy choices (*CoughCoughTheMandalorianCough*), Warhammer’s people have been holding back from going mainstream for decades. But that may all change with what they announced in July, which I missed, because life, but I grieve for my lapse in vigilance.

(Lapses in vigilance are VERY BAD in Warhammer. VERY. BAD.)

To the cardiac risk of a world full of fans, Games Workshop has announced it is going forward with a live TV series.
That series will be based on Eisenhorn, the creation of one of my favourite authors of all time, Mr. Dan Abnett.

Because the only thing more frightening than the Inquisition are GW Lawyers. Seriously. This is an image in paint with a link. You’re not even allowed to upload the page image from io9.

This is enormous news. The Eisenhorn series is three books deep, and THEN there’s the Ravenor series, and THEN the Bequin Trilogy, where Eisenhorn and Ravenor meet…(see how crazy deep this is?)

NEVERMIND how it could possibly, if it is executed properly, tee up the whole Warhammer 40K universe, which already has millions of hungry fans waiting to consume anything this IP produces. If strategized, written, and marketed properly (an admittedly huge ask in 2019), prepare yourselves for the most immersive sci-fi world you have ever seen. And yes, I mean you, Star Wars (not knocking Star wars at all; I watched the originals on a VCR. And still have them. So there).

But the time is ripe for a whole new world in fantasy and sci-fi. And Warhammer offers that in spades.

Saviour. Sniper. Survivor.
