Empire at War is a 2022 anthology volume published under Black Library’s Warhammer Chronicles Collections imprint, gathering short fiction and novella material set in the Warhammer Fantasy world. The volume focuses on the Empire of Man, the largest human nation in the Old World, and collects stories of soldiers, knights, and commanders fighting the constant threats that press against the Empire’s borders.
The Warhammer Chronicles Collections imprint serves a similar function to the broader Warhammer Chronicles range, bringing together shorter fiction that might otherwise be difficult to find outside of original anthology publications or as standalone ebooks. Empire at War is part of Black Library’s effort to create durable collections of its Warhammer Fantasy back catalogue following the end of the Old World setting in 2015.
This single-volume collection is a good sampler of classic Warhammer Fantasy military fiction for readers new to the setting, since it gathers stories from across different periods and authors in one place.
