40K: Black Library Releases – 6-10-17
This week Librarians, a trio of audio dramas and an all-too-familiar Blood Bowl Team.
A little light on tomes this week, Librarians, but that is mostly because this is the week the Indexes Imperia are available to you. But in addition you’ll find a trilogy of audio dramas–the Champions of the Eternal War which collects three full-cast audio dramas (a bit like radio plays, complete with sound effects and voice acting and all) into a single edition. If you’ve never given one of GW’s audio dramas a chance, this would be a great time to start. Additionally there’s a new Blood Bowl short story–a sort of where are they now that’s full of the chaotic humor and cheery violence that defines the game. Take a look!
