The Warhammer Chronicles series collects Black Library’s back catalogue of Warhammer Fantasy fiction, from the very first novels published in the late 1990s through to later anthology collections. The earliest title in this collection, Trollslayer by William King, was originally published in 1999 and follows the Dwarf Slayer Gotrek Gurnisson and his human companion Felix Jaeger on a series of violent adventures across the Old World. It was one of the founding titles of the Black Library fiction programme and remains one of the most beloved series in Warhammer fiction.
The Chronicles imprint brings together diverse material: the Vampire Wars and Von Carstein Trilogy omnibuses collect Steven Savile’s novels about the vampire counts of Sylvania, while C.L. Werner’s Mathias Thulmann: Witch Hunter covers a zealous templar hunting heresy across the Empire. Later volumes include omnibus collections of more recent series such as Tyrion and Teclis, Thanquol and Boneripper, and the Skaven Wars. The 2024 entry, The End Times: Doom of the Old World, covers the final days of the Warhammer Fantasy setting before it was replaced by Age of Sigmar.
Readers new to Warhammer Fantasy fiction should start with individual series rather than approaching the Chronicles collection linearly, as the volumes are loosely organised and span very different characters and settings. The Trollslayer series and the Vampire Wars are both excellent entry points for the tone and world of Warhammer Fantasy.
