It's bad if you like games like Only War or Dark Heresy and wanted to see them updated.

Time for some new books and this time around it's 40k time. Anyone have any recommendations for stuff that focuses on space combat of any scope? I believe I asked this once over in Games and got recommended (at least, going by my bookshelf) Know No Fear, Fear to Tread and Deliverance Lost. (I frankly don't remember any of them that well, they're probably getting a re-read soon  )

D-Pad posted:Does anybody have the forum quote about how dark and metal traveling through the warp is? I remember a long time ago somebody posted a great, hyperbolic description of it and I can't find it. I asked for it in the PYF thread and nobody came through. This?

So after a long break from reading 40k fiction I got the itch again and ordered the Soul Drinkers omnibus and the first Blood Angels omnibus. Please tell me about what a horrible mistake I made.

The Soul Drinkers series is patchy at best - I liked the premise and some of the bolter porn sequences are nicely done but the overall story is an unconvincing mess.

Please tell me about what a horrible mistake I made. The Blood Angels book has been entirely retconned at this point for which I am very thankful because it is absolutely terrible. I don't think there's a Blood Angels player out there that actually likes those books. It's a shame because the chapter gets very few books but that's Black Library I guess  E: I guess I could elaborate a bit. Swallow completely ignores the existing fluff around the chapter and turns everyone stupid. I only made it through the first book but the entire premise was just bad.

Has anyone been crazy enough to purchase the new digital WD? I'm curious if it is only readable through the app, of it is is a standalone file only purchasable through the app.

Please tell me about what a horrible mistake I made. You have chosen  FWIW (not much), here's my ranking of the chapter-specific books series: Great: Night Lords Good: Space Wolves (old & new), Iron Warriors (which is really just one book Storm of Iron) OK: Ultramarines (a mixed bag), Word Bearers Bad: Soul Drinkers Terrible: Salamanders, Blood Angels, Grey Knights (just read Emperor's Gift instead) Wax Dynasty fucked around with this message at 22:03 on Sep 13, 2016 |

Do the Night Lords feature prominently in any of the heresy novels? I was going to dive right into Gaunt's Ghosts next but after Night Lords and Lord of the Night I'm interested in reading more of Curze's story.

They're in a number of short stories, their big novel has kind of been Pharos. Pharos is an interesting one, there's an good conversation between Sanguinius and Curze but on the whole it's an inferior author trying desperately to ape ADB's style. Everything from the everyman group of local soldiers to the cannibalism.

Storm of Iron is legitimately one of the best 40k books out there. As SRM mentioned, Siege of Castellax is best not even mentioned. The Word Bearer books are generic and bland mostly. I only read them as there is some overlap with the Ultramarines series which I enjoyed more.

SRM posted:Legion. It's a Heresy novel but it's all about them and their webs of secrets and lies. I dig it. Except don't expect the Alphas to actually show up much or get any characterization beyond absurdly deceptive and treacherous dicks. Legion is what made me start to hate the Alphas.
