Black Industries To Close
Very sad news - especially considering Dark Heresy - The Warhammer 40,000 RPG was only released last week and has sold out of it's 20,000 print run already!

We're getting a last shipment of Dark Heresy this week and then have our figures crossed they decide to reprint the Core Rules.

28/January/2008 - Black Industries Announcement
Black Industries regret to announce that Dark Heresy: Disciples of the Dark Gods out in September will be the final product to be released from Black Industries.

Kevin Rountree General Manager of BL Publishing said ‘As a result of the continued and impressive success of our core novels business, which we have built around 40K and Warhammer, we have decided to focus all of our efforts on growing this part of our business. Black Industries has seen fantastic success, most recently with Talisman and Dark Heresy. This change does not take away from that achievement rather it allows BL Publishing to focus on producing the best novels we can. This is a purely commercial decision and will enable us to carry on the huge growth that we have recently been experiencing with our novels’

For the time being Black Industries will continue to post articles in support of the products on their official website, which is a fantastic resource for scenarios and gaming tools for GM’s and players alike.

Yeah, just ordered myself a Dark Heresy, to be on the safe side.

I think the WFRP rules are pretty solid and although I own a handful of supplements, it's one of the easiest games to get by on with just the core rules. Plus the fan community is pretty large.

Does that mean they might sell on the rights? Bit of a panic in Nottingham and fallout from their posting a £100 000 loss last week methinks.
