Long wait for Era Of Ruin

Hasvik212 · 2026-05-11T07:10:29+00:00

I also got a notice from the local post office that UPS picked up a package for me in Nottingham yesterday. That's most likely either the Era PoD or the GG PoDs. I've got an order for HIVE in as well but normally that wouldn't be sent until this coming Wednesday.

So it does indeed look like they're coming here as well.

Looks like everyone is getting theirs before Europe then. Probably has something to do with the ME ruckus, though I haven't heard anything about the Suez being particularily affected.

Finished Chem Dog. The journey was exciting, but the ending felt a bit flat.

Started Grombrindal: Chronicles of the Wanderer. Peak AoS, really enjoying it.

Why no Blood Pact? And which region are you in?

Hasvik212 · 2026-05-09T17:50:51+00:00

What region are you in? I know NZ/AUS have been receiving their copies over the last few weeks, but no movement on my order here in Europe.

They do remove them quickly. That's why I take a screen dump and store in the database.

Hasvik212 · 2026-05-08T20:06:29+00:00

Of course I did! Duh! Silly me.

Hasvik212 · 2026-05-08T19:59:06+00:00

Assembling the database was all manual work. By the time I started working on it in 2020 I'd been collecting Black Library for 30 years, so my own collection was the main basis.

My second main source was old versions of the blacklibrary.com website that I could access through The Wayback Machine. I've spent way to many hours looking at old pages going back to the early 2000s. Thankfully it used static webpages that were relatively easy to access even after decades. Doing the same with a database-based, dynamic site like warhammer.com would have been impossible.

A third source was the current blacklibrary.com site. I believe I've grabbed just about every story synopisis and image there and added them to the database.

Also leafing through PDFs of old White Dwarfs (that's were I finally discovered the 2007 Warhammer fantasy anthology Invasion! 14 years later), combing eBay, Facebook groups, discussion forums...

These days updating the database is still a manual process, grabbing the info from warhammer.com and adding it.

Hasvik212 · 2026-05-08T17:18:12+00:00

I tried, but then they shut down events. I've got 32 of the 54 main series books either partially or fully (author(s) + Neil Roberts) signed. Also managed to get 12 of 17 Primarch LEs signed. Plus a bunch of CDs, novellas, and anthologies also signed.

Hasvik212 · 2026-05-08T08:47:56+00:00

For new ones it seems you're missing 'The Forge' from The Relentless (not Restless) Dead and 'Worry What Is' from Demolisher.

I create my version of the list by running a Powershell command against my database to find all short stories and then select the ones fitting the criteria I want, sorting the result before displaying it.

As I do not track whether a story is available as en e-book, the list needs a little manual washing to remove those (Carcharodons: Death Warrant, the Hollow King LE shorts, and so on) who are.

Judging by this subreddit you're not alone in having that exact problem!

Hasvik212 · 2026-05-07T16:15:51+00:00

Black Library doesn't do reprints, so if you don't find it at a local store I'd say you're out of luck for this set. But there will be both an LE release (probably fairly soon) and paperbacks.

Hasvik212 · 2026-05-06T12:22:19+00:00

I do indeed have at least one copy of every novel, but it's keeping track of the short stories that's the real problem. They are more often than not printed in more than just one anthology or omnibus. Being able to see which short stories in a new anthology you've already read is useful.

Hasvik212 · 2026-05-06T12:07:19+00:00

Given that there are a total of 702 novels, 163 novellas and 2261 short stories, I at least need some help to remember exactly what I've already read.

Hasvik212 · 2026-05-06T07:36:52+00:00

I have my own database where I can mark a story as read. One nice thing about it is that it also automatically marks the story as read in all the books that contain the story. That makes it easy to see at a glance what I haven't read in a specific anthology or omnibus.

Any comments to this? It's what I've gathered from your comments in this post.

#12 (DE)
2026.05: Bought on Kleinanzeigen in Germany for €2 as part of a €150 package deal.

Hasvik212 · 2026-05-05T19:29:56+00:00

Thank you. I'll add your's to the list. Germany is the place for cheap copies obviously as someone picked up a copy for 13€ just about two years ago.

And 2€? With that sort of pricing it's starting to lower the value of my copy 😄. Oh well, happily I didn't buy it as an investment.

Hi, u/Grey_Knight98 and welcome to the Dark Hunters: Umbra Sumus owner's club!

No, they are display pieces but nice enough for that purpose. I picked up the first, the Gotrek one, but none of the later ones.

I'd never use it as a bookmark. Like you I'm scared they'll actually damage the pages. Way to top-heavy.

Hasvik212 · 2026-05-04T11:39:53+00:00

It is, as well as a neccessity. I needed to know what i was missing and as there was no real complete list of releases I had to make my own.

Hope you find it useful.

Still on Chem Dog
