You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Inferno!''''' (originally '''''Carnage''''') was a bi-monthly magazine published from 1997 to 2004 by [[Games Workshop]]'s publishing division, [[Black Library]], which was initially just the name of the team brought together to work on ''Inferno!''.<ref name=gasc>[http://www.blacklibrary.com/articles/birthday/interview-marc.asp 10th anniversary interview] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070817164540/http://www.blacklibrary.com/articles/birthday/interview-marc.asp |date=2007-08-17 )), with [[Marc Gascoigne]]</ref>

It presented fiction, artwork, and comics set in the [[fictional universe]]'s of Games Workshop's [[fantasy]] and [[science fiction]] [[game]]s.  These initially included ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'', ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'', and ''[[Necromunda]]'', and later added the ''[[Mordheim]]'' and ''[[Gorkamorka]]'' settings.

==Publication==
Rick Priestley and [[Andy Jones (game designer)|Andy Jones]] of ''Warhammer'', and author [[Marc Gascoigne]], developed the idea for the [[Black Library]] which produced the magazine ''Inferno!'' as a result beginning in July 1997.<ref name="designers">((Cite book|author=Shannon Appelcline|title=Designers & Dragons|publisher=Mongoose Publishing|year=2011| isbn= 978-1-907702-58-7|pages=50))</ref>

''Inferno!'' was launched with a trial "issue zero" as a section in the Games Workshop house magazine ''[[White Dwarf (magazine)|White Dwarf]]'' (issue 210).

Issue 1 of the actual magazine was launched shortly afterwards under the editorship of Games Workshop staffer Andy Jones.  The magazine settled into a standard format of two fantasy and two science fiction stories per issue, with ancillary features such as standalone artwork, comics, cutaway diagrams of fictional machines from the stories, maps of fictional battles, and mocked-up books, dossiers, or correspondence by characters in the settings.  With the exception of one early comic series,  ''Inferno!'' published individual, complete stories, not serials.

==Creators==

''Inferno!'' had a policy of accepting unsolicited submissions and publishing new authors. Many writers who went on to publish novels for Black Library, such as C.L. Werner and Ben Counter, began their professional writing careers with short stories in ''Inferno!''  The magazine also published stories by established science fiction authors such as [[Barrington J. Bayley]] and [[Brian Stableford]].

==Warhammer Monthly==
((main|Warhammer Monthly))
The success of ''Inferno!'', along with the lessons learned and the contacts made during its early days, led to a [[Spin-off (media)|spin-off]] comic, ''[[Warhammer Monthly]]''. This produced longer comic stories in an [[comics anthology|anthology]] format common in British comics like ''[[2000 AD (comic)|2000 AD]]'' (with whom it shared a lot of creators). As [[Marc Gascoigne]] puts it "It became obvious very quickly that the occasional comic strip in Inferno! along with the short stories was OK, but very soon what we needed to do was a proper comic, so about a year after Inferno! kicked in, Warhammer Monthly made its debut."<ref name=gasc />

==Novels==

Black Library's novel range also started life in ''Inferno!'', "we had stories that were immediately thought of, at least internally by us, as pilots, tasters for a novel range" <ref name=gasc />

==Cancellation==
''Inferno!'' was cancelled in November 2004 after publishing 46 issues.

==Relaunch==
In 2018, Black Library relaunched ''Inferno!'' as a quarterly anthology series.  The new ''Inferno!'' runs 300-400 pages and features serial and one-off short stories from both veteran Black Library authors and new writers.  Each new volume has been accompanied by a limited time reprinting of issues of the original magazine: Issues 1–5 with Volume 1, 6–10 with Volume 2, 11–15 with Volume 3, and 16–25 with volume 4.
