That's 50 separate entries! These are a mixture of novels, short story anthologies, individual short stories and novellas, magazines, Codexes and campaign books, et cetera. That's a lot of Warhammer! I still have a lot to go, as well.

Highlights:

Book of the Year: Requiem Infernal
Honorable Mention: The Solar War/The Lost and the Damned/The First Wall

Peter Fehevari's Requiem Infernal was grim, and dark, and intensely interesting. I think it transcends the setting, as well. This could and should be enjoyed by anyone who likes dark fantasy, sci-fi, or horror fiction, as it's a mix of all three.

There's no way I could choose just one Siege of Terra novel as an Honorable Mention. They're all three great, and as a whole so far this sub-series has a different feel to it than the Horus Heresy series proper.

Overall I had another year packed full of reading about Warhammer (along with a lot of unremarkable non-fiction articles and such that I won't bang on about). I'm already started into 2020, as well, in the middle of one short story anthology and about to begin another novel.

Past years' totals:

2018: 40ish
2017: 20
2016: 20ish
2015: 4ish
2014: 18
2013: 9
