JcDent posted:So much this. I stumbled into the setting post Dawn of War 1 (I had read Space Marine, The Best Book About Space Marines, before without any knowledge that Warhammer or miniature wargaming are things) and I'm super pissed at all the Beast books, THE TAU RAN OUT OF PLASMA BULLETS FROM SHOOTING SO MUCH CATACHANS, and all the "endless doom, scale-less gloom and enemies that are always endless" waves we always get. Space Marine? The one that’s basically less self-aware Chuck Tingle erotica about Marines who fly their tube-shaped spaceships up the anus of a Tyranid bioship?

Schadenboner posted:How do I get Marines to be on the AdMech's side? I know the Iron Hands and their descendants are big Cogheads but none of them seem like the "Let's garrison a world"-type chapters. The SM hosed up and now the AdMech owns them body and soul. Virtual slaves, same as some of the Knight Houses. An entire chapter getting owned constantly by the AdMech over the centuries could easily lead to this.

I mean, authorial intent is difficulty to determine (and death of the author and all that so maybe it isn’t even a fit topic for analysis at all) but I’m not entirely sure that Ian Watson was exactly un-self-aware?

Yeah I haven't read many either but Eisenhorn was good. A lot of the ad mech books are good. Mechanicum is a Horus Heresy era look at the start of the civil war from the ad mech perspective. The Priest/Lords/God of Mars trilogy was rather fun looking at an Explorator fleet and the total disregard for peons they have. If you like the Thousand Sons like I do, then A thousand sons and prospero burns are must reads. Magnus the Red, Master of Prospero from the Primarch line was interesting too.

Hey, not sure if you all know about this: https://www.humblebundle.com/books/horus-heresy-2019-warhammer-book-bundle I just picked up the full thing and am hoping someone with more experience with the books can give me a good idea of where to start or any authors to avoid, etc... I've only read Eisenhorn so far.
