It's available again (on pre-order now): www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Liber-Chaotica-HB-2019Has anyone got this? I'm wondering if it's worth picking up - it looks interesting, but of course it isn't cheap. GW's blurb: In the grim fantasy world of Warhammer, the only constant was Chaos. The four great powers – Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch and Slaanesh – bestrode the world, sending their countless servants to enact their twisted schemes. Among these servants were mortal men lured onto dark paths, mutant beastmen who lurked in the dark places of the world, and daemons, living manifestations of the Chaos Gods' will. In Liber Chaotica, you will discover the natures of each of the gods, and what they offer the weak and unwary to draw them into their service. You'll see the madness that lurks behind the veil and witness the horrors that the Dark Gods bring. This is your ultimate guide to Chaos in the world-that-was.
Delve into the very heart of Chaos in the world-that-was with an in-universe tome dedicated to uncovering and explaining the machinations of the Dark Gods and their servants. Exploring each of the gods in turn, along with their servants, their schemes and the doom they would unleash on the world, it's an incredible look at the true nature of Chaos, as seen by scholars of Sigmar's Empire.

I have it. And, I like it. The key is 'in-universe'. The book describes one scholars studies of chaos and his parallel descend into madness. There isn't anything in the book that is directly related to gaming. It's all background material including quite a few illustrations.
It's cool that they bring back stuff from the Golden Age occasionally. And not just models either.

Thanks. I knew it was background material, I just didn't want to buy it and find the images/text are mostly duplicated across say the armybooks - GW has a habit of rehashing content. I think I'll be getting it.

I don't think any of it is rehashed material. (you are right though, GW has that habit)

And the habit of mutilating Latin: it is Liber Chaoticus. Or is this rather an instance of language gendering?

Are they AoSing it? I guess they could be adding Skaven to the book?

Is this just a rerelease? The originals came out years ago iirc. It's actually not a bad price if that's the case.

I believe it's an unchanged re-release.

I think it’s a rerelease (or combination as the books were sold individually). I wish they’d also put realm of chaos up on general sale rather than it only being sold at Warhammer world.

Ah, in that case I already have chaotica. Looking for The death one next.
ofc, realm of Chaos books would be a good shout, too

I'm very interested in this. It's not cheap but seems like essential Warhammer Fantasy lore.
