BL Publishing is the official publishing house of Games Workshop Games. They produced many books and magazines in support of the various Games Workshop games and were even responsible for some miniatures.

Black Library was originally created in 1997 by Rick Priestley, Andy Jones, and Marc Gascoigne. Together, they created Inferno! magazine. This featured short stories and later lead to the creation of Warhammer Monthly and the various novels. Later, the Black Library picked up the Citadel Journal magazine and discontinued the two others.

The literary magazines elaborated on many traditional aspects of the Warhammer 40,000 game and created brand new concepts, even introducing some of their own gaming materials for the various games.
