Black Library

[davidlemonparty]

Is there any 40k readers in here ?

Ended two of the three novels of Renegades of the Long War recently ; kind of scratching my balls about my next read ...

Eisenhorn omnibus ? The Vorbis Conspiracy ? Twice dead King ?

Did a lot of chaos and orks novels so a change would be good.

The simple human POV appeals me

If you like the simple human ones, read the various imperial guard novels.
Start with "15 hours" imo.

Sounds like some explosive text

I'm working through the Horus Heresy series at the moment.

I'm on Thousand Sons, all is dust.

12 down, 39 to go..

For the Emperor.

I have two more to go after Echos of Eternity (one Garro novella) in the Siege of Terra books, the bookend of the HH.

After the first four (Flight of the Eisenstein) the HH books take a while to advance to plot, often going back to the beginnings of the Heresy. It's nice when you get to the Siege of Terra books, as everything you read culminates into an epic sequential story.

Thousand Sons is one of my favs of the series though. Prospero Burns (next book) is basically the direct sequel.

Like you said in another post, there are some duds in there, but I regret nothing.

This is the read order I used; but don't skip any white Scars or Dark Angels books.

He says you can skip the Unrememebred Empire and that arc, but def don't. That's a high point for me. The Lion, Sanguinius, and Guilliman play off each other so well.

Shit I'm drunk.

BARTENDER !!! MODS !!! It was obv meant to be "Black Library", can you put the needed letter in here please ?

R you sure?

One or two so far have been duds but I'm learning. Thousand sons are basically wizards, the power they wield is astonishing, it's hard to imagine how the emperor could make such a mistake.

Agreed re Mechanicus, may their forges never dim, tales of the adaptus Mechanicus have a special place in my heart.

My favourite so far has been seeing the beginnings of the inquisition.

30 years ago I read about 2 boys from a hiveworld becoming space marines, it's a pleasure going back to the well.

I know not which books are considered to be the best, due to my commitment I'm prevented from exploring that yet, but I am interested to find out.

not to spoil but there were nefarious forces at work behind nikea and Magnus himself let's his own pride put the entire Sol system in danger

Siege of Terra series pulled me back into the lore.

BLOOD FOR THE FUCKING BLOOD GOD AND SKULLS FOR THE FUCKING SKULL THRONE!!!!

Man, now blacks need their own library? I thought BET was bad enough!

I mean, I don't like hanging out with white people either, but sometimes you just gotta suck it up.

In Horus Heresy they finally got to the battle for Terra which will culminate in the final battle between Horus and the Emperor.

In 40k, Loyalist Primarchs have started coming back to the setting.

Oh damn that’s quite a lot lol

Lion just returned and Roboute is back.

Lion just returned and Roboute is back.

Abaddon finally did fuck up Cadia, creating a massive warp breach in the galaxy and cutting the Imperium in two. the Silent King came back from it's outer galaxy trip, worried by what he had seen and is waking up all Necrons dynasties. The Eldar tried to re-unite all of their factions to awaken their god of death to defeat Slaanesh but failed. The space dwarves (Squats) still exist and are some uber-space-hustlers, mining, trading and living in equal foot with their robot AI pals. There is a new chaos demi-god of technology that with the help of Abaddon and Angron stirred some shit and is now in the webway up to no good. Both Orks and Tyranids came out stronger from their imperial-induced stalemate war. The emperor is on his way to be the 5th chaos god ...

I don't know how old all of this is (played as a kid, recently got back in the lore) but it seems that quite some things are happening

 

[Phlog]

Which book covers this?

Good question...

My bad, is the beginning of the grey knights!

Vorbis was alright, but nothing impressive. Eisenhorn is a fantastic series with depth and solid character building.
Check out some of the Warhammer Crime series, pretty cool stuff

 

[Misfit23]

Black libraries now? Damn wokesters...

 

[Ballsaque]

Bloodlines and flesh and steel for example.. nitty gritty hiveworld nastiness. Hoping for more releases in that series soon.

I miss the deep dive that the Fabius Omnibus was. Eisenhorn it'll be !
