Starting to read Saint Leibowitz and the Wild Horse Woman. A Canticle For Leibowitz was one of my favorite books growing up and really was fundamental to by getting into 40k (and in how I view that universe) so we’ll see if this is also good?

But also I would actually be way into Bautista as Eisenhorn. Dude has proven he's got way more acting chops than he has any right to.

I think Jamues Purefoy with a shaved head for Eisenhorn, if you've ever watched The Following or Rome I think he's got the chops for it.

So who do we want to see cast as Eisenhorn and the rest of the gang? Karl Urban needs to be in this
Karl Urban could do a good pre-Atrocity Ravenor. If he doesn't want to do *just* voice acting later on, they could do more stuff that's in dreams or visions or whatever.

Mark Strong works for Eisenhorn because he can be made to seem like he's legit 35 years old or he can look like he's 300 years old with a bunch of hints of juvenat work.

Meloni works for Fischig because he could also do an over-the-top Cherubael lol

I just finished Lords of Silence and while it was really good I struggled with actually reading it. About halfway through I realized the bad guys were gonna win so it just seemed pointless. Which I guess kind of fits for Nurgle, but it still felt like a chore to read.

The part I liked most was the stuff about the agriworld and the way imperial bureaucracy ran things. Do any other Chris Wright books focus more on the civilian side of things, rather than the action scene stuff? Or any other authors for that matter.

Thinking about it, the action scenes tend to be the least interesting parts of 40k books to me, while I really like the lower intensity "daily life" parts of stories. The camp follower segments in Salvation's Reach and the mystery parts of Magos, for instance.

I don't think I'm a good Warhammer fan.

40K action scenes tend to be dull and overly descriptive. You're hitting on the right parts by enjoying the world building scenes, since one of the joys of 40K is seeing how people rationalize existence in such an insane setting.
