=='''Inferno!'''==
Beginning in 1997 with the creation of [[Black Library (BL Publishing)|Black Library publishing]], '''''Inferno!''''' magazine (originally to be called '''''carnage'''''){{Fn|1}} was a bi-monthly publication providing fans of both [[lex_en_whfb:Warhammer: Fantasy Battles|Warhammer Fantasy]] and [[Warhammer 40,000]] with world-building materials such as short stories, comics, illustrations and other background information like [[Data-slate]] entries, correspondence etc. Most notably, the fledgling '''Black Library''' openly used the magazine as a recruitment tool, accepting submissions of prose and artwork from readers who aspired to join the company.<br>
'''''Inferno!''''' introduced new characters in the different game systems of the time (including [[Necromunda]]) and was the birthplace of fan-favourite entities such as: [[Astra Militarum|Imperial Guard]] [[Imperial Guard Regiment|regiments]] like [[Tanith First and Only|Gaunt's Ghosts]] & the [[13th Penal Legion|Last Chancers]], numerous new [[Space Marine]] [[Chapter|Chapters]], the [[Necromunda|Necromundan]] [[Bounty Hunter]] [[Nathan Creed]], and many more. The magazine was also the birthplace of comics in these settings, with the comic section being so popular that a dedicated comics magazine, [[Warhammer Monthly (Magazine)|Warhammer Monthly]], was released in 1998.
Abruptly cancelled in 2005 after 47 issues, the '''''Inferno!''''' label would later be resurrected in 2018 with a new series of [[Inferno! (Anthology Series)|short story anthologies]].{{Fn|2}}
