Tomorrow...

"It’s a quest in search of the lost magic of dead gods, to save the life of a prince. And you want to leave without a storyteller? Don’t you want to be immortalized for all time?" Wolves of Winter, coming to @kickstarter.com next Wednesday, November 12th.

My Black Grail runneth over... with poxes and plagues, maladies and mayhem, contagions, contaminants, and pestilences unnumbered #trenchcrusade

"Tear this place apart. Find the treasures. Kill anything that gets in your way." #wolvesofwinter

Got the first of my Black Grail Warband painted, a couple of Hounds of the Black Grail and a pack of Grail Thralls. The Distemperous Conclave begins its putrescent march! #TrenchCrusade

"The Nailed God didn’t send us… The Allfather did. He told us you have too much gold." #WolvesofWinter

I had a lovely chat (as always!) with @miramanga.bsky.social last week about my Warhammer: The Old World novel, Lords of the Lance, and you can watch us having a good old blether by following the link in the reply below.

Sent you some art on Insta @roguehobbies.bsky.social ⚔️

I can't tell you how many times I've watched The Black Phone, but this is the first time I've noticed this in the credits. Despite his outward devotion to Grandfather Nurgle, is @crobertcargill.bsky.social, in fact, a writer in thrall to the Dark Prince...?

"I’ve fought my share of battles without you at my side. Hel take me if I’m missing this chance to fight with you." Wolves of Winter, coming to @kickstarter.com on November 12th!

I was lucky enough to write a story for the skirmish game, The Guards of Traitor's Toll, which will feature in the hardback rulebook. The game's creator, Graham Davey, is an old mate of mine from the trenches of White Dwarf, and it was a real pleasure to write this. Link below.

You want to see a time-lapse video of our ultra-talented artist, @ricardojaime.bsky.social doing the cover for Wolves of Winter? Of course you do, so here it is!

"The Valkyrie Sisters, Sigrid, Ylva, and Oydis. Bloodthirsty daughters of Hel. Best to keep clear of them...” #WolvesofWinter Coming to Kickstarter on November 12th. Art by @ricardojaime.bsky.social

Awesome sauce here, and thank you so much for the link to our upcoming Kickstarter Campaign (12th Nov!) for Wolves of Winter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gud...

“You know Bjorn, he drove off an entire raiding party of Rus with an axe in his belly and a spear in his side. He is my sword-brother, and I trust him like no other.” #WolvesOfWinter

Last one, I promise! If you're in the LA/Thousand Oaks area today, come and hang out at @arsenalcomics.bsky.social from 11am to chat to a host of comics & book creators and get your comics, books, art, and posters signed to celebrate Local Comic Store Day with us!

A reminder for my LA/Thousand Oaks pals; I'll be appearing at @arsenalcomics.bsky.social this weekend from 11am to hang out and chat about all my books and comics (especially Wolves of Winter!). Come along, say hi, get your books signed, and buy a fantastic Wolves of Winter cover poster!

"And let’s not forget your mother, eh? She is a true battle-maiden of Freya. And no-one fights harder for their children than a mother." #WolvesOfWinter

For Local Comic Shop Day, I'll be visiting the Newbury Park branch of @arsenalcomics.bsky.social in Thousand Oaks on Saturday 27th September from 11am with a bunch of other creators to chat, sign books & comics and hang with everyone. Come see us at 1610-1 Newbury Rd, Newbury Park, CA 91320

Chatting to the wonderful @miramanga.bsky.social about my upcoming graphic novel, Wolves of Winter!

Today we launch sign-ups for Wolves of Winter, a full-colour graphic novel that’s an epic mash-up of Norse and Celtic Mythology with demons and monsters! It would mean the world to me if you could join us on this voyage, as well as sharing the campaign far and wide! Join us at: shorturl.at/EZxKt

Always lovely to chat to Mira, especially about something so near and dear to me.

"What men are you that you would doom the world and turn your back on this chance to save it? You think Valhalla’s golden doors will open when the world’s end finds you weeping and soiling yourselves in terror?" #WolvesOfWinter

@roguehobbies.bsky.social Hi Louise, replied to you via Instagram.

Twenty years later an it's still going strong!

Sharpen your axes, brothers and sisters... It's coming very soon... #wolvesofwinter

I had a great chat with Gerald on The Corner of Story and Game podcast, where we delved into the writing and worldbuilding of existing IPs, the challenges, opportunities, and how rewarding it is to engage with its myriad writers and fans.

A couple of years back, I spoke to Tales After Tolkien, and now that chat has been translated into Ukrainian. So for all my readers in that part of the world, here's a link to the conversation we had. Hope you enjoy it! uageek.space/tats-grem-ma...

You want Die Hard in a London high-rise by a Bond director? Daisy Ridley as an ex-military window cleaner? A big name star cameo and OTT villain? The Cleaner checks every box, though her Avengers-loving brother not throwing his Thor's hammer at the bad guys is a missed goal...🔨

Had a wonderful time last night talking to the folks of the Film and Photography Society at @UCLA. I love talking story with other creatives, and it was great to hear of their projects and ideas. I always come away from events like this freshly energised to put pen to paper!

Thank you so much! This is a great way to ride into the weekend!

Had a lovely chat with @sylviabishop.bsky.social about Warhammer books I'd recommend, with titles from @VincentAbnett, @gavthorpe.bsky.social @writervh.bsky.social, Gordon Rennie, and Chris Wraight. This was a great and in-depth chat, so I hope you enjoy our discussion fivebooks.com/best-books/w...

This was a challenging story in many ways; for me as the writer, BL as publisher and the readers too, as it contained nothing of what normally goes into a Warhammer story, no bolter & chainsword action or clashing armies, just two men having a conversation about the nature of gods over fine whisky 🥃

A triple header of watching The Damned by @jamiedotdotdot.bsky.social last night (which was fantastic) then hearing a fascinating talk with him and @kevinlehane.com on the Spec Bits podcast. And now listening to the score by Stephen McKeon. youtu.be/8e_C0bNLpOc?...

And here's a family photo of all the ruins and scatter terrain together... #WarhammerCommunity

And with this large, forge-temple ruin finished, all the terrain from Kill Team: Hivestorm is now complete. Really pleased with how it's turned out, and ready to get a game in this weekend #Warhammer40K

Iron Within, Iron Without!

That's awesome! She's very talented!

I stand in the company of giants...many thanks!

This was a hard book to write, but a really fulfilling one too, as it got deep into the fracturing psyche of Magnus the Red and his sons, revealing just how far they would go to save themselves. Thank you for reading, Johnny!

When signage designers watch Sinister before work... @crobertcargill.bsky.social

I was incredibly emotional after Act 3 of @arcaneshow.bsky.social, not just because of how it looked and played out - I knew what was coming - but seeing the storytelling we bled over in the writers room coming alive on the screen was overwhelming. I hope you all felt the love #ArcaneSeason2

And a reminder that with Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl on release today, you can get 20% off with the Promo Code: MCNEILL. That code also works with Space Marine 2 in case you haven't picked up your copy yet!

Painting some more Kill Team: Hivestorm terrain last night and decided to use a couple of necron bitz to homage a moment from one of my favourite movies. See if you can figure out which one...? 😎

LET'S GO! 💙 @arcaneshow.bsky.social #ArcaneSeason2 #PaintTheTownBlue

If you fancy getting your pre-order in for Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl and/or getting a copy of Space Marine 2, use the code MCNEILL at Gamesplanet and you'll get 20% of the price! Not a bad deal to head into the weekend, right? #stalker2heartofchornobyl #spacemarine2
