Other Warhammer Fantasy is a 45-volume collection of novels, novellas, and anthologies set in the Warhammer Fantasy universe that do not belong to a single named series. The titles span from 2000 to 2016 and cover a wide range of races, factions, and locations within the setting, from the Empire to Ulthuan to the Blood Bowl pitch. Authors include Dan Abnett, Nik Vincent, Nick Kyme, and others who contributed to Black Library’s Warhammer Fantasy catalogue during this period.

The collection includes notable entries such as Gilead’s Blood and Gilead’s Curse, a pair of novels about the Wood Elf Gilead Lothain written by Abnett and Nik Vincent; the Ambassador duology following an Imperial diplomat; and the Hammers of Ulric dwarf novel. Blood Bowl and its follow-ups (Dead Ball, Blood Sport) represent the lighter comedy sports fiction strand within the Warhammer Fantasy imprint.

All 45 titles are listed in publication order in the reading order table below. Readers can begin with any entry that interests them, though the Gilead books are best read in sequence and the Ambassador novels work best together.
