Lord Koth posted:I would toss Farseer in here as well. Written by William King, of the original Gotrek/Felix books, it actually focuses on an extremely down-on-his luck Rogue Trader who suddenly finds himself dealing with an Ulthwe Farseer and their bodyguard. It's a pretty decent look at both a struggling Rogue Trader (which I imagine we'll start as... possibly not this bad though) as well as just how labyrinthine the plans of the Eldar can get. This one slightly unfortunate aspect in that it's not a complete story, as it was supposed to be the first book in a trilogy, but I feel it stands quite well on its own - you'll just never get to see the repercussions and fallout of the events happening in the climax. And I'd add to this Aaron Dembski-Bowden's Betrayer, because although a lot of people here are highlighting the '40k can be fun when you don't take it seriously', this book's by far my favorite because it does the opposite and explores the relationships of a group that until then was largely considered mindless berserkers. There's fighting, sure, but effectively all the meat of the story is watching what's basically a broken family try to hold together and break themselves more because of that desperate attempt to understand each other. First 40k book that really introduced me to the setting too; first I read was Nemesis, but... I would not read that for a first book.
