The upside to these explanations is I guess I won the argument. (It wasn’t really an argument.)

Pick and choose the authors you like and ignore the rest. There's 54 goddamn books, not counting the Siege of Terra. No need to read all of them.

I read the first one, and I thought it was an okay-to-promising setup for some decent epic tragedy melodrama, but with the benefit of seeing what followed it’s pretty obvious that promise wasn’t delivers on. I read... a fifth of the second one and stopped. I also read Corax: Nevermore because at this point I’m a mark for my birbgoths. The revelation that Space Marines work because they’re all super-double-secretly a little bit part chaos daemon is pretty funny.

You can basically skip half of them, just by not reading ones by bad authors.

TTerrible posted:I've tried to read the HH series multiple times and I've never got further than book 3 or 4 because they're so just so boring It sounds like you're hitting the most awful spot in the series. After reading the first three you should read The First Heretic, Know No Fear and Betrayer and then nothing else. There are so many poo poo books that it's painful. Maybe Master of Mankind if you like ADB being as deliberately obscure as possible.

Asides from Wet Leopard Growling I really liked the thousand sons/space wolves books. Also you have to read the first couple so you can get Horus having the most teenage breakdown and lol about it. "IT'S TOO MUCH!!!"

Also I read Vengeful Spirit recently and it was kind of worth it to see more Horus, more specifically following in the Emperor's footsteps but instead of being a bitch, making pacts and stealing from chaos, he loving went to war. The rest of the book can go jump though.

I get the feeling that this was inevitable. There's a paralysis in attempting to write a book about a character that is interesting almost solely because you don't know anything about him.

I'm at book 29 and I like 'em.  Fulgrim, Descent of Angels, Legion, Mechanicum, A Thousand Sons, Nemesis, The Outcast Dead, Know No Fear, Betrayer, and Vulkan Lives have been my highlights. It is hard to keep them all straight after 29 books.

Strong disagree on Fulgrim, you will hate the words "perfection" and "stimulation" or whatever by the end, and the battles are turbo trash. First Heretic, now that's I book I fuckin' blazed through, it's great. Flight of the Eisenstein would be better if not for the 12th-hour surprise boss. Master of Mankind should be read for the Best Blood Angel.

Valve Corp will basically be the Alpha Legion when Gabe dies and the "flat management structure" really kicks in.

I'm on book 21 and I like them all so far, so obvious YMMV. I find them more fun than good though.

Just skip straight to First Heretic and then read the rest of the ADB ones if nothing else. Betrayer is easily my favorite Warhammer related book of all time. Just a good book.

In other news holy poo poo is Vulkan a beast. He went down last night but took two centurions, a praetor, two squads and most of another down with him before he died.  420 take primarchs everyday.

Cool, I posted the wrong image anyway. That last one was them still covered in drying oil/thinner. This is them after 24hrs of drying and a matt varnish coat.

Airbrush:
Gloss varnish then covered heavily with lamp black. Pushed it way back with thinner after about an hour. Next ones I'll probably do sponge chipping before the gloss and then do some rust streaking with burnt umber once the black oil is dry.

Played The Smallest Heresy last night. Game swung entirely on a combat between palatine blades and pyroclasts that I narrowly won, but the highlight for me was doing a trench run on Olloths reaver.
