#Chronological order of warhammer books update#
I will be keeping this as a seperate list from the full novels and will try to update it as I get new information. I'm still leery about downloading short stories both because I don't want to have to re-buy it when a print anthology comes out but also because I don't want to miss anything that may not be physically printed. Add on top of this the shear number of ebooks being put out between Hammer and Bolter, direct only downloads, exclusive chapbooks from Black Library Live and Gamesday events it was getting hard to know what was actually available. Primarily, as I purchased omnibi and anthologies I'd have trouble remembering if I'd read some of the short stories before. This became necessary as a natural off shoot of the original list for a number of reasons. UPDATE! As of early 2012 I've had to put together a second list which encompasses all of the short stories written for 40k. Currently there are 652 novels on the list, of which I've read 610. I'll try and keep it updated as best I can, for now it's good through March 2022. I've included the excel version of this list (minus my read checklist) here if you wish to use it. The list below is sorted by author/editor. I've also been forced to add the ebook only novels as Black Library have started releasing more of them.


I have included collections and omnibii as they often contain extras that add to the stories. These are just the novels and anthologies, none of the art books, codices, graphic novels, or audio books. I figured other people may have the same desire as me so I'm putting it online(you're welcome Lexicanum). After searching online I was surprised that there was no central list of all Games Workshop novels (not even Wikipedia has a comprehensive list) so I put together a spreadsheet. With such a large number of stories and 45-55 new titles every year it was getting hard to keep track of everything. I've been reading Warhammer 40k novels for years.
