I've been reading the omnibus and was surprised by how good these books are. For being heretical monsters the protagonists are surprisingly likeable.

Haven't read these yet, but I've heard only good things about them so I'm tempted in investing in this limited edition :P

Or, instead of acting like a maniac with more money than sense, just go to Amazon and buy the Omnibus for $15. Please don't encourage BL and their "get rich quick" schemes.

Ya, as much as I love and utterly adore the Night Lords trilogy I loving hate this goddamn super deluxe ultra combo limited edition bullshit BL does. Especially when they just released the Omnibus about year or whatever ago which is completely serviceable on it's own. The worst part is from the sounds of it, the box set doesn't even include the additional short stories like the Omnibus does.

Their ebook omnibus for the Night Lords is $17.50, which is amazingly reasonable for 3 novels and 2 short stories.

Yeah seriously. The Night Lords trilogy are three of my favorite books ever, and I would never drop 75bux on them unless they were all signed by Aaron Dembski-Bowden and we got to cuddle after.

What's this Space Marine novel I keep hearing about? Is it the one by Ian Watson with Brother Tony Montana of the Dark Angels on the cover?

It's by Ian Watson, but the cover is an Imperial Fists Fist. Black and yellow. It's pretty good. Also, I've been sending my e-books from my PC to my iPad and suddenly I'm reading a lot more Warhammer. The Battlefleet Gothic books are really, really good and I'm disappointed I didn't read them sooner, Borusa slowly ranking up is a lot of fun to watch.

Working my way through Fulgrim right now and I'm starting to realize that "evil magic sword" is maybe one of my most hated tropes. Still, on the positive side, the book seems to be full of people calling Eidolon an rear end in a top hat, so that's something.

McNeill is good at writing Chaos and Mechanicum as far as the really illustrative details and such, but he seems to flounder at anything else. Look at the difference between Storm of Iron or any of the Ultramarines books.

One Legged Cat posted:I didn't know there were BFG books! Are these the Execution Hour/Shadow Point books, and/or related comic? Yup, I'm halfway through Execution Hour, and it's brilliant. So far all the action's been either on board the Lord Solar Macharius, with pretty enjoyable characters, but one of the chapters is about the Arbites on a raid. Turns out that human beings are much more fun to read about than Space Marines charging through and shooting peasants and criminal scum in the name of the Emperor. Go read them now if you haven't already, they are really drat good.

I really want to read a book written as war memoir anecdotes. I got the idea after watching Lindybeige's latest video on Cromwell tank stories, and I think it would be fascinating to see that from an Imperial Guard perspective.

Alfredo Pangea posted:Has everyone has seen this official black library list pic, And aside from the placing a johnny come lately as their second slot to shll the newest novel series, and all the other gripes about their favorite being left out....they put in Alpharius. I doubt they mean the primarch but even still it is not a list of chaos marines. My best guess is they mean the one from the new eisenhorn novel, They are all Alpharius. Except Alpharius, who is Omegon.

On that note, a book following the years where the Emperor appeared and conquered Terra with the Thunder Warriors would really be fun, with the right writer.

Our Emperor who art in Terra forgive me… I just sent in a submission to Black Library. Kylaer has to put something in now, it'd be just wrong if they bough my idea and not his. All I can do now is make my stuff not suck and maybe be Doc-Eldar-good someday.

No, they're excellent books in their own right. They're books that give the Sororitas, the Arbites and the officers onboard a Imperial Navy craft more screentime than any space marines. Actually, so far I've not actually noticed a single space marine other than the mention of there being some onboard the Planet Killer. I'm enjoying them as much as I enjoyed Eisenhorn, if not more because I'm a sucker for naval stuff.

Speaking of trilogies of books from Black Library that unfortunately got cancelled after book 2, there is the dark heresy books written by Sandy Mitchell. Those were pretty good I thought.

If I've learned anything the Black Library is just as clueless on how to make money as GW. Wasting time have authors write start up limited release novels about Ork invasions no one cares about when they could be finishing Warmaster and making more off it than that entire series will bring in.

If written well, the Ork invasion could be seriously awesome. Nobody gave a poo poo about the Ultramarines either, until Abnett gave them a proper treatment. Unfortunately, BL seems to have been taken over by the GW sales team - "They want more content? Let's flood them with worthless poo poo - that'll show them!"
