Iron Warriors: The Omnibus de Graham McNeill

The new omnibus contains Graham McNeill’s seminal Storm of Iron along with the novella Iron Warrior – previously only available as a limited edition hardback – and a collection of short stories featuring Warsmith Honsou. It will be available early next year.
If you can’t wait that long for Iron Warrior action, the original Storm of Iron is available as an eBook. Alternatively, see the bitter struggle from the perspective of (the misguided Imperial fools) the Ultramarines, in Dead Sky, Black Sun and The Chapter's Due, where Uriel Ventris of Fourth Company faces the might of Warsmith Honsou.

Un tir nourri de fusils laser l’accueillit, mais il en fallait davantage pour le stopper, et Honsou bondit dans la tranchée remplie de soldats. Le Space Marine renégat se fraya un passage sanglant parmi les défenseurs qui n’avaient d’autre choix que de reculer de terreur devant les moulinets mortels de son épée. Perpétrer un tel massacre avec autant d’aisance le transcendait littéralement, et c’était dans des moments pareils qu’il comprenait le mieux à quel point la voix de Khorne pouvait être attirante. Tout autour de lui, ses camarades Iron Warriors finissaient de purger la tranchée avec la rage de ceux qui avaient connu l’enfer et en étaient revenus indemnes, ou presque... Dans un futur lointain, l’humanité mène un combat constant pour sa survie dans un univers sombre et hostile. Sur Hydra Cordatus, la vie est devenue un enfer depuis qu’une imposante force d’Iron Warriors a pris d’assaut la planète et assiégé la puissante citadelle qui s’y trouve. Mais quel est le précieux butin qu’elle recèle, qui vaille un tel tribut de sang et de destruction ? « Un mélange détonnant et entraînant d’aventure, d’intrigue et d’action. » - SFX « Impressionnant… Aussi sombre que captivant. » - Starlog

The beast had come out of nowhere, a monstrous figure in battered armour with the paint stripped from its plates. Flashes of yellow and black leapt from between two abandoned dwellings, and Joelle was dying, down on her knees and vainly attempting to stop her guts from spilling out over the rocky ground. Kellan had managed to fire a shot, the only one of their squad able to even raise his weapon, but it hadn’t done any good.

A fist punched him through the air and left him sitting with his back to the wall of an empty domicile with his breath coming in painful, rasping gurgles. Like everyone in the Calth Defence Auxilia he’d received training from the medicae. Not much, but enough to know that several of his ribs were broken and that at least one of his lungs was punctured.
The beast had killed them all, and he’d watched the whole thing.

Next week will see the launch of Black library’s shiny new streamlined webpage, complete with links to BL TV and Quote of the Day. Check back Monday to see it in action.

This weekend saw the return of the renegade Warsmith Honsou, with Iron Warriors: The Omnibus going up on pre-order, and we thought it would be cool to have a look back at the different books that have featured this charismatic anti-hero. So without further ado, Warsmith Honsou, this is your life...

We were first introduced to Warsmith Honsou in Storm of Iron. Back then he was known as Honsou the Half-Breed, due to his mixed lineage that combines Iron Warrior and Imperial Fist gene-seed (that’s why he has so many yellow stripes on his armour). Despite these humble beginnings, Honsou rose through the ranks, continually beating the odds to crush his enemies and gain favour. Originally meant to be a one-off book, Honsou’s popularity soon saw him return as antagonist to Uriel Ventris in the Ultarmarines series, and since that day, there seems to be no getting rid of him.

Iron Warriors: The Omnibus collects together the novel Storm of Iron, five short stories (four of which are available as eBooks above and the Enemy of my Enemy, previously only available in Inferno #44) and the novella Iron Warrior. This is the first time that one of our limited edition novellas has been rereleased, two years after it first went on sale. If you missed out first time round, make sure you catch this one.

We have trawled the archives and are now able to bring you a few pictures of how Honsou has appeared over the years. We’re not sure which one Honsou is in the first picture, but we’ve been assured he’s there somewhere (let us know on Facebook if you think you can spot him). Each of the other two show you the Warsmith with his trademark living-metal arm (stolen from Pasanius on Medrengard in Dead Sky, Black Sun) and huge power axe. The third one- the cover to the new omnibus- is our favourite.
