I think GW underestimated the popularity of the Heresy as a setting. The perfect storm of Foreworld’s early source books and resin minis fuelled a strong appetite for the Heresy books which Black Library… just kept going with. if anyone had really known how many numbered novels (and unnumbered novellas) there were going to be in the lead up to the Siege of Terra, I think many of us would’ve thought twice about going all in on the collector’s books. When the Siege LE’s came out, demand was so high professional scalper rings got in on the action and ruined the buying experience for everyone. I and many other collectors hope there’s not a repeat for The Scouring, another series with no planned end in sight; and no climactic battle to work towards to.

Came here to say this. It was absolutely not worth the heartache and stress for the LE’s and I won’t ever buy those again. GW have had multiple chances to fix this and have missed a very obvious solution which satisfies collectors and denies the scalpers. On a more positive note, now I’ve got a year to finish the Siege so I can pick this up fresh.

Honestly? Despite how much of a farce this all is, I'm genuinely impressed with how this has been handled and the concerted efforts to stop the scalpers. If I don't get it, I don't get it, but at least I know I had a fair shot.

It boggles my mind that the new website *doesn't* save your card details unlike the old one.

Incidentally, above mentioned Frank Spotnik was behind the book adaption to Amazon of Man in the High Castle, which is why I was very excited about a potential Eisenhorn adaption for Amazon.

Apologies, I specifically referencing the two videos related to this piece of news. For what it's worth, I had hoped Frank Spotnik's adaption of Abnett's Eisenhorn books would see the light of day, but it appears the specific scripts have yet to be decided on. As a casual consumer of streaming services, it appears Amazon could be in competition with AppleTV to snap up series' based on popular SF franchises, and Warhammer 40k is no exception. My question now is - animated series, or will we see a big budget live adaption?

I was linked to the previous video, and now his update which was hastily recorded. I now know why I choose to not watch Warhammer-related YouTube videos. Absolute attention seeking nonsense.

Same. After Siege I am done. No more. It’s stressful, not satisfying and no longer fun.

100% this. It can be automated too so it’s no extra work!

Good to know, because I had assumed mine had been rejected.

It's a great read, yeah. Wish I had gotten my hands on a physical copy when it came out.

No, I consider the original edition very rare now as it only had one run.

Honestly, I envy you for being able to experience them for the first time. I’ve read these books over a dozen times because they are just fantastic books. Completely recommend starting with the Eisenhorn series and going onto Ravenor. The Magos collages all of the shorts and it is pretty much a direct prequel to Pariah and Penitent. They are still the gold standard for 40k for me and anyone even remotely interested in 40k I stay start with Xenos. It’s an excellent standalone novel and gateway into the madness of 40k
