Da Freebooterz Code (Special Edition)
Skeeg Horntoof is an ork with big dreams: the biggest hat, the most dakka and the ambition to become the greatest freebooter the galaxy has ever seen. As kaptin of Gork’s Revenge, he is guided by Da Freebooterz Code – a set of rules so outrageous they just might work. With a krew of misfits, meks and mutineers, he sets out on a quest for loot and glory.
This time, though, Horntoof may have bitten off more than he can chew – the kaptin has instructed his boyz to plunder the hunting grounds of the legendary rogue trader Lord Captain Antoinette von Hume. Deadly, resourceful and merciless, the pirate queen of the Halo Stars has been pillaging her way across the void for decades, and an upstart freebooter with a big hat isn’t about to get in her way.
Da Freebooterz Code is the latest Black Library novel by Justin Woolley, author of Catachan Devil. This striking Special Edition features an embossed cover, printed page edges and a yellow and brown checkerboard-pattern page marker ribbon, plus the short story Horntoof – which tells of the kaptin’s reluctant rise to power.
This Special Edition of the novel is available strictly while stocks last.

In a galaxy riven by endless conflict, perhaps no other planet has endured such relentless slaughter as Armageddon.

The relentless advance of humanity’s oldest foe is a storm unending, and the Astra Militarum must hold against it.
But mere humans are not sufficient to halt the green tide. Space Marines of the Ultramarines, Black Templars, Blood Angels, Space Wolves and Crimson Fists have a proud history of waging war against the orks on Armageddon and beyond, purging the ferocious xenos with bolter and blade.

Veterans of the Fall
They were the best of the best. Now they are all that is left.
When Cadia fell, a handful of traumatised survivors found themselves stranded on a ruined redoubt world carved apart by rival cults. Since then, the Kasrkin veterans known as the Tattershields have anchored the crumbling Imperial defence, holding back the overwhelming might of the Archenemy with sabotage, assassinations and unbreakable discipline. Their commander, Sergeant Kostantin Taikon, is an inspiration to the beleaguered defenders. But he is haunted by guilt and consumed by fatalism, numbly fighting on with no hope of victory or atonement.
The Imperials’ grip on the planet is slipping. Infiltrators sow discord in their ranks, and a sadistic new enemy is bearing down upon them. But when all hope is dead, only defiance remains, and Taikon will lead his indomitable Kasrkin to the bitter end.
Veterans of the Fall by William Crowe contains the new novella Veterans of the Fall, the complete serial Tatters of Hope that was first published in White Dwarf magazine, and the short story Tattershield.
The paperback edition is available to pre-order from Saturday, and the eBook and audiobook versions will be available in the Black Library App from 9 May 2026.

The war for warp-cursed Croatoas rages on. Hailed as ‘Giant-killers’ for their heroics during Operation Jotunn, Lieutenant Commander Hadeya Etsul and the crew of the Leman Russ Demolisher Steel Tread are hurled right back into battle.
Assigned command of a convoy of armour and infantry, Etsul is tasked with escorting a legendary lord commissar through contested territory to stabilise the wavering Ruega Front. But with a new crew member disturbing the delicate harmony of her tank and a malevolent nemesis lurking unseen in the high passes ahead, the mission proves even more dangerous than first thought.

He was once just a man, a newly minted officer from the ranks of the Schola Progenium. Here is where the legend began. In this crucible was Lord Commissar Sebastian Yarrick forged in blood.
