Well at least it wasn't Dead Sky, Black Sun.

I always just figured that being a successful, well-connected and very rich inquisitor, Eisenhorn could get access to the higher levels of restorative medicine the Imperium is capable of, which might be sufficient to repair the damage.

ed balls balls man posted:The first Ben Counter Grey Knights book in my head I remember being great. However, I must have read it like 15 years ago now? There is one scene I remember bugging me: They're ambushed by a feudal army, which sends cavalry at them. The cavalry get rekt, as you would expect, but while that's happening thousands of footsoldiers are able to advance without getting shredded by bolter fire and get into close combat in sufficient numbers to overwhelm the Grey Knights. The bit where they use psychic powers as a squad is what busts them out of the trap just as they're about to be swamped by the enemy's numbers. I found it a pleasing case of showing (rather than telling) that space marines have their limits, and that a sufficiently cunning enemy can effectively exploit those limits even with relatively sparse resources.

Eisenhorn being smug about his poo poo being unbreakable and incorruptible when in reality it's nothing of the sort is pretty on point though.

The Night Lords trilogy whips rear end. I'd read that first.

Ben Counter has written some absolute belters, despite himself. The first Grey Knights book is quite possibly the most metal thing ever written.

The part of Space Marine that stuck with me the most was when it specifically described the effect of the pain glove on the dude's dong. Great book, would recommend.

ABorderPrince on youtube has done full audio book versions of the Gathering Storm, and they whip rear end.

Cooked Auto posted:Don't think I've ever read a good Ben Counter story. I know he had a rep for some truly ridiculous stuff with his Grey Knights book.s The first Grey Knights book and Daemon World are both straight bangers start to finish. The rest are middling to terrible. Facehammer fucked around with this message at 16:21 on Nov 21, 2022 |

They tend to be parts of other stories rather than the focus in their own right, unfortunately. The second book in the Ultramarines omnibus has a good one against the tyranids. The first Grey Knights book has an absolute belter of one as the opening set piece of the final act. The second Black Legion book has one against the Black Templars. The third book in the Space Wolves omnibus has a very flavourful one near the start. Salvation's Reach, fairly deep into the Gaunt's Ghosts series, is about one... if boarding actions are your jam. There are at least two specific Battlefleet Gothic books, maybe more. They're some of the very first 40K novels the Black Library ever put out, if I remember correctly; that arm of the company might not have even been formalised enough to be known as that at that point. There is an excellent reading of the first one on A Border Prince's youtube.
