Tbt a seasonal homage to our greatest living author, dreamweaver, visionary plus actor and the reason I NEVER use subtext in my own oeuvre (it is of course for cowards) 🙏🖤💀

All of the Warhammer stories I've written! When I wandered into my local Games Workshop store as a kid more than 20 years ago I'd never have believed I'd get the chance to do this! It's so fun & there's just as much wonder in the great, grimdark world of Warhammer as when I first encountered it 🖤

Picked up some goodies from Kim's Bookshop in Arundel over the weekend including a vintage Nebula & British Science Fiction Magazine 😍 I highly recommend visiting if you're passing through Arundel - there are many floors of good stuff! Thank you to @hormannalex.bsky.social for putting me onto it!

Grateful to have picked up numerous fab reading recommendations from *every* panel at @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social but am now intimidated by the state of my reading pile (anyone else?? 😅) Tbt Tokyo as I'm currently starting on my sub-pile of Japanese fantasy 🖤 📸 Hiroyuki Okawara @hero_nightwalker

Looking forward to this. A visit much-delayed (initially by the Covid pandemic).

This morning our young flamingo Frankie managed to take flight from Paradise Park in Hayle despite having clipped wing feathers. Last seen near Porthtowan at 10.15am. Staff are out searching the area and would welcome any sightings. Call 01736 753365, email [email protected] or comment below.

Dr Phibes budgie wishes everyone an extremely fresh Monday 🐤🚿

Cheers for now, Tokyo! You've been magic 🖤 The last few weeks have been a whirlwind and whilst it's time to get back to the writing desk I'm enormously grateful for the kaleidoscope of ideas and experiences I have to bring with me! 📸 Hiroyuki Okawara @hero_nightwalker

I'll be attending the mass autographing at #worldfantasy2025 in Brighton along with @gavthorpe.bsky.social & many more! If you'd like my scribble on anything do stop by :-)

Happy book release day to me!

Well would you look at that. Truly spoiled with the Limited Edition of Krakenblood here. One of the most beautiful books I've ever had the privilege of being involved in. Looking forward to everyone getting to pick it up this weekend coming! www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl...

I was delighted to receive a good old-fashioned Warhammer welcome in the Tokyo store (Wars and Hammers compulsory obvs) 😂🌸🌸🌸

Hello Warhammer Tokyo! 🌸 The Darkness Eternal anthology may be sold out online, but you can pick up a signed copy in Akihabara right now along with the biggest selection of Black Library books in Japan :-) 🖤 Thanks to the lovely staff at the store for the welcome!

Accidentally crashed the Nagoya Warhammer store Armies on Parade yesterday - it was lovely to see such a full store and fantastic to see some really beautiful and creative hobby on show! Thank you for the warm welcome hobbyists of Nagoya, and please tag your army if you happen to see it here :-) 🖤

Attempting to make some new friends but they're being a bit koi about it... 😏

Pre-orders for TOMB WORLD go up tomorrow. Once again, I'm delighted that this is my first special edition novel - thanks in advance to everyone to grabs it! Also, I *think* pre-orders for the ebook and audiobook are already open: www.blacklibrary.com/prod-home/ne...

Beyond delighted to have my first special novel go on pre-order next weekend, and alongside some cracking models.

Well now, what have we here?

Tbt last year when I gave a keynote about writing Deathworlder at the first Warhammer Conference! A delight to have a captive audience to talk to about all things Catachan & the literary function of Tyranids as the sublime (which doesn't happen every day! 😂) 🖤🌴 www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tdY...

Amongst the amazing offerings on Warhammer+ this week is the Black Library Book Club discussing The Fall of Cadia! Check it out!

Go on, sign up to my mailing list. It’s got stories, and writing advice and articles and crunchy bits, but alas no chocolate. You have to sort the chocolate yourself. Click here and sign up john-french.com#mailchimp-po...

Dropsite Massacre novel coming this year. So excited that news of this is out in the wild. Follow the link and find out more: #horusheresy30k #warhammer #spacemarines

Eeeee! My gorgeous @sefirotgame.bsky.social Kickstarter just arrived and I'm going to be staring at it ALL DAY 😍 @eliotbaum.bsky.social and @vivtanner.bsky.social have outdone themselves, this is really really special 🖤

As one does, I have bought an Emotional Support Gowron for the office. When you look into his eyes, anything seems possible.

And only 49 million of these were me writing Warhammer novels to it 😂🖤

Bet you can’t pick me up 👀 #warhammer40k

Your email finds me slowly & resentfully persisting ✨️🐌💀

Signed copies @ Warhammer World! #minkalesk #cadiastands #warhammercommunity

Delighted to share the announcement stage with @malkydel.bsky.social and @mikevincent-author.bsky.social. Khemet's story was a fascinating one to write, and follows some truly exceptional Necron books in recent years. Looking forward to it coming out! www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl...

www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl... Ah good to see it finally out in the wild (ha). A true honour to take on the sons of the Rout. Ivar is always a fun to write and I like to think that this tome carries forwards the saga-feel of Price of Morkai into something even stronger and stranger.

Deathworlder en français! I'm so excited to see my Warhammer writing in translation for the first time! And SUR UN MONDE CANNIBALE goes *extremely* hard as a title 😂🖤 Delighted!

Women at work, 41st Millennium, colourised 💀😎 Trooper Falke Adair & Tech-Adept Nefeli Wrathe are two colleagues at the top of their fields in DESTROYING STUFF Warhammer style 🔥🔥🔥 I LOVE this absolutely incredible art of Deathworlder from @plasmometer.bsky.social who is actually magic 😍🖤

Pretty much the brief behind the 4th ed Codex colour schemes.

One needs MANY arms to discuss the chitinous wonders of the Tyranid consumption phase 🤏🫵💀🤙🫴 Thanks to @alexdoddy.bsky.social for graciously hosting my near studio-destroying gesticulations when he invited me on to Warhammer TV to talk all things ichor 😂

Had a great deal of fun working on this and screaming LEXMATE at one another with @squintywitch.bsky.social which was a critical part of the creative process 💀

The Catachan I painted + the Catachan novel I wrote! 🖤😎🌴 Thank you so much *everyone* who has picked up Deathworlder (you sold out the first print run 😱) & shared in the grimdark good times! 💀🖤

'Morose, dry, hot and quite brutal' Huge thanks to @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social for reviewing "Sublime Ablation" my post apocalyptic short in the indie @aanpress.bsky.social anthology 'Our Dust Earth' 🖤 The anthology is also a mini ttrpg & is available here! :-) www.aanpress.com/aanorder.htm...
