600 Blogs. A titanic celebration.

We’ve decided to post an extra blog today, as this marks our 600th blog on blacklibrary.com.

We wanted to share something truly titanic to mark this special occasion. We think this fits the bill nicely:

This is Neil Roberts’s latest piece of Horus Heresy art and will grace the cover of a forthcoming audio drama called Honour to the Dead, written by Gav Thorpe.

We’re sure that you’ll agree that Neil Roberts has created another modern masterpiece. We particularly like how palpable the impact is of the massive power fist smashing the titan’s face, and the genuine look of fear as the citizens run screaming from the battle.

While we try to remain informative and professional in our daily blog posts, you may have noticed that we like to have a little fun now and again. Often, this involves a terrible pun in the title. Here’s a list of our top ten:

10. Comic Con-gratulations – On Nathan Long winning a Scribe award at San Diego Comic Con.

09. Warning! Contains Scenes of Graphic Violence – On the announcement of Horus Heresy graphic novels.

08. Happ Ebirthday – Celebrating two years of Hammer and Bolter

07. The Die is Caste – A preview of the Fire Caste artwork

06. The Book Everyone’s ‘Been Raven’ About – Talking about the release of The Unkindness of Ravens

05. A ‘Kraken’ Blog Post – Chris Wraight talking about his short story Kraken.

04. Day ‘Elven’ – On the eleventh day of our birthday celebrations, our story was Gilead’s Craft by Nik Vincent.

03. Extra, Extra, The New York Times Knows No Fear! – Announcing Know No Fear becoming a New York Times bestseller.

02. Green Is The New Black – On the release of Gav Thorpe’s Ravenwing.

01. We’ve Ben Counter-ing Down The Days Till This Release – On the release of Phalanx by Ben Counter.

We hope you’ve enjoyed our posts over the last few years and that you will continue to do so. We definitely will, and we’re already thinking up new and increasingly awful puns for the titles...

We’ll have another blog for you later today as David Annandale talks about Mephiston: Lord of Death, our next Limited-Time Edition novella, which goes on sale tomorrow.
