Any one hear about new Malus Darkblade novels?

Post by Yeasir »

I have gotten into reading everything elf-related in Warhammer Fantasy. I believe I have read everything out there, but my favorite BY FAR has been the Malus Darkblade Chronicles. I was just curious if there are any rumors for the publication of the follow-up books Dan Abnett has already written. I just can't get enough Malus/Spite!!!

Have you read the Defenders of Ulthuan books?
and I think the graphic novels covered the times after the final book and the battle for Ghrond (in the cannon, did that happen or not?)

Canon in warhammer is what you make it...

But that battle can't be found in any army book or the BRB... so technically it didn't happen.

Just like the entire Storm of Chaos.

Things get retconed enough in each edition it's hard to keep heads and tales of it.

Even right now, official fluff is with Storm of Chaos is it's either brewing or about to hit judging from the main rule book and the warriors of chaos book.

MrDark12: I am actually finishing up the Defenders books now. They are very well written. I know that Mike Lee said Dan Abnett wrote several yet to be published books in the Afterwards comments to the Malus Chronicles. It sounded like they were above and beyond the graphic novel version, but I am unsure.
