I'm starting to get that GW's marketing is having random people post about mysteriously found items because someone must have been immensely incompetent and misplaced the keys to the castle.
Valrak back at leaking again, first it was magnus, then dante, then fuegan and now this. We know that Facebook page is secretly you after a successful GW heist
If they do the Scouring I hope the Raven Guard have a role as they would be perfect for ambushing the traitor fleets to tie them up while Guilliman and the others catch up. And Corax being one of Guilliman's supporters for the codex astartes.
In general the idea is good, but given the many chapters in End and the Death named Fragments, I think it's much more likely, that Dan Abnett wrote even more of these and in editing decided to leave some of those out and maybe release them later.
@@Matt-FRESHMINTY not just malc chapters, there were isolated tales in these fragments too, some noble woman holed up in her house refusing to leave chilling with a pistol is one that comes to mind
Give me Wraight writing Dark Angels... he said they would be his favorite to write at this point as he considered the White Scars done for the HH (though this book would probably been already in printing when he said that in an interview)... Still I need the DA to be handed to Chris. He wrote even good Space Wolves characters - he is a legend for accomplishing that.
Yep, I'm working my way through the HH series for the second time and I've decided to skip Battle for the Abyss, Damnation of Pythos and anything to do with the Salamanders. I like them as a chapter in principle, but their books are so goddamn monotonous. Same with most of the shattered legion stuff tbh. Only a few characters save it for me.
Fulgurite might be about the loyalist Word Bearer Barthusa Narek, he is mentioned in the Siege of Terra as having snuck onto Terra with a Fulgurite bullet looking to shoot Lorgar. It's a very random inclusion atm with no resolution, so this short story could wrap up his story.
Guy Haley does a lot of Space Marines, but im guessing that After the Dawn is A Blood Angels story since he's written Dante, the Devastaion of Baal, and Astorath stuff
I actually wouldn't mind more Horus Heresy books. The war was massive, and i believe many more stories can be told. That being said i would prefer a Great Scouring series if given a choice between the two.
If I had to guess I think the Dan Abnett Fragments story will be almost a mini anthology within the anthology, similar to the Fragments chapters in his Seige of Terra books. Basically a collection of vignettes showcasing small scenes and events happening in the aftermath of the seige. Which personally I think would be great, I really enjoy those chapters. They don't offer much to do with the main characters and events in the setting, but they give a look at what's happening to normal people and add tons of flavour to the lore that would be missing otherwise. Sometimes getting glimpse of some poor normal soul struggling through the hell of 40k is more entertaining than a whole book worth of primarchs, titans and legions of Astartes going toe to toe. That story and ADB's one are by far the two I'd look forward to the most I think.
Fragments (All We Have Left) - my money's about the story, the remembrancers, basically how folks only have fragments of what happened (oh, and very few folks that witnessed this all are still around)
The Horus Heresy has had me in a headlock since I became a 40k fan a couple years ago, I am even reading them now and have been so hyped for the idea of a Scouring series with that era also shrouded in mystery and I wanna be here for the beginning and end of that! Siege of Olympia, Iron Cage and more we will see play out hopefully
My guess from the first leak was that Fragments would be Iron Hands, so we'll see. I agree with the gentleman who suggested System Purge would be about the Ad Mech. After the Dawn Comes the Darkness... Blood Angels maybe? Edit: Or Raven Guard? Darkness there and nothing more?
At first, it seems very unlikely that some guy would randomly find an unpublished black library book in a charity shop. But then you remember the time a binman found the box for Magnus the Red in a bin outside GW HQ. Or the time they accidentally sent the new Dante to someone before they'd even announced he was getting a new model... Either GW are really lax about keeping secrets, or it's all deliberate to hype up their releases.
I went through the chapters marked Fragments in the books and they're all about different characters. My best guess is that it'll be about Grammaticus because Abnett is obsessed with writing that character
Hi Valrak, Today i found a listing at a Book Shop for Siege of Terra: Epilog as a anthology in german language with release date 11.6.2025. But the german releases for the Siege of Terra was always some months after the english release.
FOILRAK! Valrak wears a Foil hat. The hat goes on his head Foil is a silver/grey/metallic colour A metallic head piece A metal Head The Iron Warriors mark VALRAK IS AN IRON WARRIOR
Didn’t Dan Abnett mention about this on Mira Mangas channel when she interviewed him. He said there was one more Horus book and 2 40K books due out from him.
We need more iron hands books, a small clan company in the battle to go to terra anything the idea of small clan companys just fighting all over is so good to creat good storys
I don't see the big surprise honestly. We have all been unofficially talking about the scouring for a good couple months, this is simply another step towards complete confirmation. It's like getting over excited at the rumor of a Space Marine release, it's not a matter of "if" just a matter of "when".
if i remember correctly weren't there chapters in the the end and the death called "fragments" and they covered other stories of the siege of terra that weren't necessarily the main characters of the story? so if I'm right then it will be about the people on terra that are not necessarily main characters of the greater story.
Does anyone know anything about the Forge world W30K (28mm scale.) Argus Lighter? I went to purchase one a few days ago but it has vanished from the website. Not just a 'sold out online,' or other message to that effect it is just no longer there, which is a bugger as I had just saved enough to get one for my Solar Auxilia force. I emailed GW to ask if it was coming back once they recast some more, or if they were releasing a plastic one or had it just gone forever, but to date they have not bothered to reply. Anyone know anything? Thanks.
Lucky bastard, to have found that! Pre-release. Wow! 😍 Looks like someone took a review copy to a second hand dealer. [Valrak, where's Bequin 3, dammit?! 😉😄]
What will leak next?! Hopefully some models that we're all waiting for (Krieg, Emperor's Children, Space Wolves, Aeldari) but then again it does kind of ruin the surprise. Definitely keeps the hype going though!
I'd absolutely love to read another from Siege of Terra. I began reading Horus Heresy from the beginning for the 3rd time after finishing Siege of Terra. Would also love reading the Scouring Series.
Personally I'm of the opinion that HH is totally fine with doing whatever the fuck they want, but if they work on 40k they're making active changes and updates to the franchise which they're trying to avoid. The more the story moves forward, the more they actually have to pay attention to changes
This is definitely the beginning of the scouring. Names of the stories couldn't be more obvious. But they should close up some of the current stuff before going back.
Between this and the Fuegan (80% sure that’s spelt right) leak, someone at GW must be trolling leaking all this stuff intentionally, there’s just no way this stuff happens accidentally multiple times
The Eidolon story was decent, there's a lot more life in this epoch yet. Think of all the 'epilogue' storylines, too as primarchs disappear and the traitors are scattered and recriminate amongst each other.
GW watched Valraks video about the original leak and just said F-it. If Valrak says we have this book in the pipe we might aswell list it in the index of The End and the Death.
They can't stop writing the Horus Heresy, but the Lion and Guilliman STILL haven't met!
Gw get this sorted asap
The A-team writers are inspired, why rush them?
Rush them? This story was finished so many years ago, if they haven't gotten it all out by now it's never happening 😂
Wait until Russ comes back... he will spend years before killing a primarch, maybe never.
Probably gonna wait till Abaddon and Vashtorr complete whatever the hell they're doing.
I'm starting to get that GW's marketing is having random people post about mysteriously found items because someone must have been immensely incompetent and misplaced the keys to the castle.
They haven't got them in them, they would require skill xD
I'm guessing someone in their production chain stole it and sold it to a second-hand bookshop
Valrak back at leaking again, first it was magnus, then dante, then fuegan and now this. We know that Facebook page is secretly you after a successful GW heist
I DID NOTHING! NOTHING!
@@ChapterMasterValrak That's what Magnus said.
@@Battle_Brother_DakLyr he's only leaking cos he's too fat to see when he's stopped pissing
If they do the Scouring I hope the Raven Guard have a role as they would be perfect for ambushing the traitor fleets to tie them up while Guilliman and the others catch up. And Corax being one of Guilliman's supporters for the codex astartes.
I want to know how tf Ultramarines could go from 150,000 legionares to 23,000 by the time of 2nd founding
I feel like the book System purge is gonna be the RG book, weird to have 2 dark angels books and Gav Thorpe is the Raven guys
I believe GW confirmed they will now be doing the scouring. HH sells way to well to really end it.
After the Dawn, Darkness sounds like Blood Angels to me.
Darkness in the Blood was another BA novel
My first assumption would be Dorn's Darkness
And Guy Haley writes a lot of Blood Angels stuff.
No rumors, no foil
Foilrak is coming back...this FRIDAY!
No rumours just truth, really truth 😅😂
Remember, no Russi- I mean Gothic.
@@ChapterMasterValrakhurry up and get that guy back out. YOU SUCK !
@@ChapterMasterValrakI think your Lion
So Dan Abnett did write Prospero Burns, so a novella called Fragments (all we have left) could be about the Thousand Sons.
In general the idea is good, but given the many chapters in End and the Death named Fragments, I think it's much more likely, that Dan Abnett wrote even more of these and in editing decided to leave some of those out and maybe release them later.
I believe fragments was a title used in the End and the Death for Malcador chapters
@@Matt-FRESHMINTY not just malc chapters, there were isolated tales in these fragments too, some noble woman holed up in her house refusing to leave chilling with a pistol is one that comes to mind
The shards of Magnus are fragments of him
Give me Wraight writing Dark Angels... he said they would be his favorite to write at this point as he considered the White Scars done for the HH (though this book would probably been already in printing when he said that in an interview)... Still I need the DA to be handed to Chris. He wrote even good Space Wolves characters - he is a legend for accomplishing that.
Give Wraight everyone!!!!
"Nick Kyme writes Salamanders stuff"
And we all wish he didn't tbh
Yeah someone else deserves a go
"Nick Kyme writes Salamanders stuff"
Well, barely
Ehh, read tome of fire but never got engaged.
As the one who read all salamanders books...
Nick Kyme kind of sucks.
Yep, I'm working my way through the HH series for the second time and I've decided to skip Battle for the Abyss, Damnation of Pythos and anything to do with the Salamanders.
I like them as a chapter in principle, but their books are so goddamn monotonous. Same with most of the shattered legion stuff tbh. Only a few characters save it for me.
Meanwhile the 4th Tyranid War: 💤💤💤
I hope "Fragments(All we have left)" is about the Iron Hands... probably not, but I can hope.
Or Magnus and his Shards
@@thedyingmeme6magnus and his sharts
Highly doubt that it is referring to any 1 legion or character. Probably in reference to the Imperium and the Emperors dream.
My Brother.
Raven Guard needs to have vengeance!
Completely agree.
WHO
BL preview is in December
BL celebration is typically first week of Feb
Ah I must have got them confused, so technically we could see this announced before the years end!
@ agree, hoping that the last book of the siege doesn’t push back an announcement for scouring but we shall see
That’s what the scrambling for photo sources on discord was for!
0:59 I recognize that couch from Valrak’s living room!!!
NEW VALRAK LEAKS?!?
AND WHY AM I GRAY????
GET THE FIOIL!
NOW!
THIS IS A BETRAYAL!
Brother No!
They scalped your green name!
Fulgurite might be about the loyalist Word Bearer Barthusa Narek, he is mentioned in the Siege of Terra as having snuck onto Terra with a Fulgurite bullet looking to shoot Lorgar. It's a very random inclusion atm with no resolution, so this short story could wrap up his story.
Guy Haley does a lot of Space Marines, but im guessing that After the Dawn is A Blood Angels story since he's written Dante, the Devastaion of Baal, and Astorath stuff
Can we pleaaaaaaaaee just focus on current 40k lore. The Lion ,Jagathai , Gman!
It’s crazy that they keep wanting to do prequels, but are hesitant to advance the “current” setting.
Give me an Iron Cage book from the Iron Warriors perspective and my soul is yours GW
BOOORIIING! Give us "Dorn is coming back" leaks GW
12 stories all about Fulgrim? Wow, we must be the new posterboys for the Scouring
The rumours never lie! Unless they do.
Hydra Dominatus! 🐍🐍🐍
Fragments could be the soul fragment of Magnus they used to create Janus and the grey knights at the end of the Horus heresy?
Fragments is probably Sangunius.
So glad to see ADB back.
I actually wouldn't mind more Horus Heresy books. The war was massive, and i believe many more stories can be told. That being said i would prefer a Great Scouring series if given a choice between the two.
Agree, alot of anthologies in the HH were not great and should really just start the scouring series now
If I had to guess I think the Dan Abnett Fragments story will be almost a mini anthology within the anthology, similar to the Fragments chapters in his Seige of Terra books. Basically a collection of vignettes showcasing small scenes and events happening in the aftermath of the seige.

That story and ADB's one are by far the two I'd look forward to the most I think.
I hate GW, scalpers will win again
Can always count on you to leak new stuff Valrak!
God damn it xD
Fragments (All We Have Left) - my money's about the story, the remembrancers, basically how folks only have fragments of what happened (oh, and very few folks that witnessed this all are still around)
The Horus Heresy has had me in a headlock since I became a 40k fan a couple years ago, I am even reading them now and have been so hyped for the idea of a Scouring series with that era also shrouded in mystery and I wanna be here for the beginning and end of that! Siege of Olympia, Iron Cage and more we will see play out hopefully
After the scouring series I’d love a Badab War series
Fragments is the title of some of the chapters in the end and the death books...
My guess from the first leak was that Fragments would be Iron Hands, so we'll see.
I agree with the gentleman who suggested System Purge would be about the Ad Mech.
After the Dawn Comes the Darkness... Blood Angels maybe? Edit: Or Raven Guard? Darkness there and nothing more?
Could fragments be linked to the old lore about fragments of the emperors armour being used on the insignia of terminator armour
Publishers produce extra copies, occasionally for the author, sometimes for staff/editorial and someone could get a copy and dump it.
At first, it seems very unlikely that some guy would randomly find an unpublished black library book in a charity shop.
But then you remember the time a binman found the box for Magnus the Red in a bin outside GW HQ. Or the time they accidentally sent the new Dante to someone before they'd even announced he was getting a new model...
Either GW are really lax about keeping secrets, or it's all deliberate to hype up their releases.

FOILRAK!
Valrak wears a Foil hat.
The hat goes on his head
Foil is a silver/grey/metallic colour
A metallic head piece
A metal Head
The Iron Warriors mark
VALRAK IS AN IRON WARRIOR
Fragments (All we have left) could be the splintering of the Emperor's soul, from the view of constantin.
Holy shit, we have more than enough HH stories. We need good 40k stories again. Have the two primarchs meet
Guy Haley writes a lot of Blood Angels, After the Dawn, The Darkness sounds like Blood Angels.
First a random codex is found in a trashcan, now its a book in some random bookstore - this is beyond suspicious
Hopefully we can actually buy this one instead of scalpers getting every copy.
Didn’t Dan Abnett mention about this on Mira Mangas channel when she interviewed him. He said there was one more Horus book and 2 40K books due out from him.
We need more iron hands books, a small clan company in the battle to go to terra anything the idea of small clan companys just fighting all over is so good to creat good storys
Hopefully we get some good stories with the Vilka Fenryka
I don't see the big surprise honestly. We have all been unofficially talking about the scouring for a good couple months, this is simply another step towards complete confirmation.
It's like getting over excited at the rumor of a Space Marine release, it's not a matter of "if" just a matter of "when".
'Fragments: all we have left' likely referring to the emperor, or the part of him they have left.
A Scouring book series makes sense. We do need the Iron Cage after all.
System Purge sounds to me like a Mechanicum story about retaking Mars
Its official! The orange Emperor has returned. 💪
Selling this to a second hand shop is probably the best way to sell anonymously. Probably impossible to trace it back to whoever did it
System Purge seems like it might be Iron Hands, but they hardly get heresy love as a legion and John French does it best.
If it includes more Imperial Fists and more Dorn its an automatic 10/10.
if i remember correctly weren't there chapters in the the end and the death called "fragments" and they covered other stories of the siege of terra that weren't necessarily the main characters of the story? so if I'm right then it will be about the people on terra that are not necessarily main characters of the greater story.
I imagine the Horus Heresy range will also be used in any Scouring series
System purge would likely be mechanicum, purging scrap code and remaining traitors on mars.
Admit it, you found it and leaked it, after you broke into GW head quarters
LIES AND SLANDER!
No comment.
Does anyone know anything about the Forge world W30K (28mm scale.) Argus Lighter? I went to purchase one a few days ago but it has vanished from the website.

Also, whoever it was that got that, easily could have made tens of thousands if people genuinely it was real at that time. Crazy.
I'd absolutely love to read another from Siege of Terra. I began reading Horus Heresy from the beginning for the 3rd time after finishing Siege of Terra. Would also love reading the Scouring Series.
Id love a story about the blood Angels taking Sanguinius' body to baal
Fragments- Story about Grammaticus
System Purge screams more about the Mechanicus purging the Dark Mech from Mars/within
I’d love some actual unification wars era books / mini series pre primarchs and perhaps a few actual great crusade focussed ones way before the heresy
I pray that at last one of these new books is purely about the Martian civil war and the rise of the dark mechanicum
Gotta do the whole scouring, they could drag HH for another 45 books
Personally I'm of the opinion that HH is totally fine with doing whatever the fuck they want, but if they work on 40k they're making active changes and updates to the franchise which they're trying to avoid. The more the story moves forward, the more they actually have to pay attention to changes
I thought warhammer was grim dark, but look at the united states this morning. 😂
This is definitely the beginning of the scouring. Names of the stories couldn't be more obvious. But they should close up some of the current stuff before going back.
I think the Carrion Lord story is going to be about the founding of the Inquisition.
Fragments “all we have left” could be referring to the emperor or Sanguinius and shards of him being left still,
Another HH LE book? Fix bayonets at 10am, and may the emperor be with you
I wonder if this book will set up more convincing ways for the primarchs to return to the setting
...we better check if GW has an employee named Alph A. Rius. 🧐
So its the epilogue, and how the remaining primarchs did "vanish".
Between this and the Fuegan (80% sure that’s spelt right) leak, someone at GW must be trolling leaking all this stuff intentionally, there’s just no way this stuff happens accidentally multiple times
The Eidolon story was decent, there's a lot more life in this epoch yet. Think of all the 'epilogue' storylines, too as primarchs disappear and the traitors are scattered and recriminate amongst each other.
Rather than continuing to milk the HH's shrivelled-up carcass, why can't GW adapt other time periods, like the Age of Apostasy?
Never been so happy, I’ve been dying for more HH
GW watched Valraks video about the original leak and just said F-it. If Valrak says we have this book in the pipe we might aswell list it in the index of The End and the Death.
Wow 64 books in total. Holy moly! Anyone read them all yet? I have a few and few I've not read. Is it worth it in your opinion?
The Scouring needs lore badly
Can't believe Valrak leaked again
Do you still have that spare The End and the Death Volume 2? Never did get mine.
This is mormon-level foilrak.
I guess the charity shop is no more weird than a robot sending some dude Dante months in advance.
Would be great to see a Scouring series, may you be correct!
You thought the gouging was over? It's only just begun!
So much material for the scouring it’s unreal
Fulgurite be the Barthusa Narek story line probably
The scourging please do the scouring and all the stuff about the primarchs breaking off and doing there own thing PLEASE!
Stoked to hear this one is real. Love the Siege of Terra so happy to get more. :)
I can’t wait for the scouring series.
