Happy to have made two contributions to the Black Library in the last year. Thanks to everybody who read Abraxia or Grombrindal - the community response to both was really fun to watch. Unlikely to be much new fiction from me in 2026, as I'm currently working on novel number four. 2027, though...

Happy New Year, all. I'm glad to put 2025 behind me, on balance. But this was also the year that I had a game dev stress dream about herding cats so vivid that it led obliquely but inexorably to the adoption of my golden son, Potato. So thanks, 2025. Thanks, game development. Thanks, Potato.

It’s a dreadful privilege to be so Known. Thank you, friend

Was very happy to contribute some thoughts to this excellent article 🙏

Hard to think of *any* issue in my life on which the public have been so uniformly opposed to the govt's agenda. The unanimity exceeds any anti-war movement, even. What could the govt even propose that would less popular? Excited to see Starmer try!!

Just finished More Everything Forever by @adambecker.bsky.social - really thorough and humane joining-of-the-dots between AI, effective altruism, SF, cosmism and plutocracy that arcs, as most things should, toward the inevitable conclusion that Le Guin was right about everything

Both Grombrindal and Abraxia are up for 2025's Black Library Book of the Year! Delighted if either of them to get your vote. www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl...

For what feels like every possible reason this has been a slow, slow hobby year for me. But I've finished something! Here's my take on the Helsmiths of Hashut Spearhead.

Abraxia: Spear of the Everchosen is now available for preorder in hardback, ebook and audiobook! Hardback: www.warhammer.com/en-GB/shop/h... Ebook/Audiobook: www.blacklibrary.com/prod-home/ne...

Very happy to be contributing narrative design and worldbuilding to this new project at Anego Studios! Goblin is a powerful, powerful designer -- perhaps too powerful -- and it is a delight to get to work with them on something new after our long stint together on Hytale. Cool things to come!

My own Cities of Sigmar project stalled out a little bit, but they’re still some of my favourites to work on. So much storytelling in each mini, and it’s rewarding to put your own twist on them - converting a Khainite whisperblade, for example, or a Morrda-worshipping war surgeon.

For all the amazing centrepiece models that Age of Sigmar has had over the last ten years (not least Abraxia!) my vote has gone to the Freeguild Cavalier Marshall. It’s such a beautiful sculpt - it sells the world as well as a specific character. 100% Warhammer, but full of little subversions.

Unutterably proud of my boy Paul, and his boy, which is… this…

A fair and much appreciated write-up - thanks!

There is a story, even in failure. @cjpt.bsky.social finding richness in the small details here. -from Abraxia: Spear of the Everchosen #Warhammer #AgeOfSigmar #BookSky #BlackLibrary

This is such a lovely response, and the first I’ve seen since the limited edition came out. Thanks so much, really means a lot!

As someone who has spent a fair bit of time with both Age of Sigmar’s duardin and its take on Chaos, I’m really enjoying what I’ve seen of the Helsmiths so far. I had no foreknowledge of them when I was writing Ancestor’s Burden, but tried to keep the door open for Hashut and Valaya all the same.

The limited edition of Abraxia: Spear of the Everchosen is out today! Cover art by Valera Lutfullina, treatment by the Black Library team. Words about awful people making each other worse by me.

The limited edition of my latest novel for Black Library - Abraxia: Spear of the Everchosen - is now available for preorder! www.warhammer.com/en-GB/shop/a...

Black Library do such lovely work with these limited edition hardcovers and it’s really exciting to see my first in the wild. Abraxia: Spear of the Everchosen is up for preorder next Saturday!

A little Pale Tides writing, as a treat 🖤

Happy 10th birthday, Age of Sigmar! Silver Tower and First Edition got me back into Warhammer after a decade-long hiatus. I'm grateful for everything the hobby has given me since then, and it's still surreal to think that I've had the opportunity to leave my own mark on the setting. More to come!

Following the cancellation of Hytale, I'm now looking for work after seven years at Hypixel Studios. Please reach out if you'd like to talk game design, worldbuilding, or creative direction. Or books, obviously. I also write books.

DARKOATH is out in paperback today! It’s the perfect size to be carried in a small bag, a large pocket, or perhaps among the mass of skulls and bloody trophies with which you gird yourself.

I’m spending the weekend at Birmingham CommandFest helping my pal @abigbat.bsky.social run a little shop where he signs things and I attempt to shift prints of that one Furby horse he painted for some reason. It’s a living!

My third novel for Black Library, Abraxia: Spear of the Everchosen, was announced today! A return to Chaos, albeit on the opposite end of the Path to Glory to Darkoath. As someone who got into AoS with books like Call of Archaon, this was a real treat to write. A grim treat, but a treat even so.

Some Magic: the Gathering cards I painted which are really special to me 🖤 Info in the alt text!

In our Spring 2025 Development Update, we highlight progress made in the first months of 2025! Later, we lay out the aspects of Hytale we’ll be playtesting internally, and we reveal a new addition to an old faction! hytale.com/news/2025/3/...

Really happy to have won Judges’ Choice with my Slaves to Darkness at the Warhammer World Age of Sigmar GT this weekend! It was a sprint to get Abraxia and co. painted in time - proper photos to come.

I'm only just finding time to paint minis again after a frantic start to the year, but the first unit of my rebooted Slaves to Darkness project for AoS is finally done. Here, have some Chaos Warriors.

Voting for Black Library Book of the Year closes tomorrow! If you’re considering voting for either Darkoath or Grombrindal: Ancestor’s Burden, I can personally guarantee that you will be voting for a book that has a guy with an axe on the cover. www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl...

Because 2024 is a fluid concept, I have two books up for contention in this year's Black Library Book of the Year! If you enjoyed Darkoath or Grombrindal, your vote would be much appreciated. More than anything else, it's just a really cool list to be on. www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl...

This is lovely to see. My hope with Ancestor’s Burden was to elevate the hopeful elements of Age of Sigmar without shedding the subversive horror of Warhammer. Appreciate this thoughtful take (minor spoilers ahead!) www.reddit.com/r/AoSLore/s/...

Happy publication day, Grombrindal! A Realms-spanning story of gods and fate and unlikely fellowship, and - above all else - an excuse to come up with names for a bunch of new kinds of duardin ale.

Another helpful tool for anyone looking to dip their toes in AoS fiction- or take the whole plunge! #Warhammer #BlackLibrary #Nerdlings

Grombrindal: Ancestor’s Burden is available for preorder today! It looks like the Warhammer webstore has sold out already (at least in the UK) but indies should have it and ebooks and audiobooks are available from Black Library as usual. Out Feb 1!

Thanks, Goonhammer!

Have a wonderful and magical holiday season! See you in 2025 ❄️❤️

Done! Done. After a 75-hour Honour Mode run, I guess I'm done with BG3. Until update 8 comes out.

In our Winter 2024 Development Update we catch up on this year's milestones by showing off the progress we're making with Hytale's new engine, peek at our latest creative features, and discuss our plans for 2025! hytale.com/news/2024/12...

Some years you write a book about the White Dwarf, some years you paint the White Dwarf, some years you do both. Left: Golden Demon Youngbloods, 1999 or 2000. Right: A model I finished last weekend. In the in-between: one (1) Grombrindal novel, coming soon!

Happy Halloween, everyone! 🎃 To celebrate this year's spooky holiday, here is a sneak peek at a newly reimagined faction... who are they? Who... were they? 💀 #hytale

Proud to have had the chance to close out the 500th issue of White Dwarf magazine with a new Grombrindal story! Grots at the gates of a city in the sky are confronted by an old, old, old foe.
