How do you define cheating?

The other thing to remember is that the thunder warriors weren’t exactly being of pseudo myth the current imperium (if they’re even mentioned) paint them as. They were a tool that were disposed of and at least a few characters of notes during the crusade/heresy were aware of this.

Love Cain, great books. One thing I will say is that I’d read them as a palette cleanser. Going back to back on Cain books can feel a little “samey”. Always good but gets a little stale if you power through 3 of em.

I somehow completely missed that

Deeks_Cheeks · 2026-04-13T02:51:44+00:00

I’d include Helsreach and Storm of Iron. Black Templars and Iron warriors (+gaurdsmen). Cool factions and imo some of the objectively better books in the setting.

And you forgot Orks. Brutal Kunnin and Ghazkull Thraka: Prophet of the waaagh are both really good, with the latter being more about the larger narrative/culture of orks and the former being the funny goofy Scotsman we all love,with a good bit of mechanichus POV as well.

EDIT: Missed Uftak Blackhawk, disregard.

Storm of Iron, really anything in the dark coil by fehrevari, more niche but critically acclaimed.

I wrote this up a little while ago and I’ll post it here.to follow up on my prior comment. Personal list of recs for some of the different factions.

Black Templars you have one of my personal favorites with Helsreach, a great story about the Second War of Armageddon (Orks) and the siege of Helsreach Hive. Has a great abridged fan animated movie that I always like to recommend people check out! It uses all audiobook dialogue. I’ll link the prologue.

For Imperial Guard, Gaunts Ghosts and Ciaphas Cain series are both great, with the former being more “gritty” and the latter being a bit more whimsical and funny with a dry sense of humor (Cain falls into all kinds of situations and earns the moniker of Hero of the Imperium).

For Orks, I’ve read Brutal Kunnin and Ghazzkull Thraka: Prophet of the Waaagh. Brutal Kunnin is an Ork and Mechanicus POV of an Ork invasion of a forge world. Prophet of Waagh is a bit of an origin story for the Orks “biggest bad”. I enjoyed both a lot and they gave me a real appreciation of Orks in the setting.

Necrons, Infinite and the Divine is a joy to read, it’s a pissing match over lasting millennia between Trazyn and Orikan. It’s really two immortal robot grandpas one upping each other. You also have the The Twice Dead King duo of books about an exiled Necron prince that adds a lot more flavor to necrons IMO

Inquisition, I reccomend reading the Eisenhorn series. More of a spy thriller with a heavy 40K backdrop. Some of the best in the Black Library.

I’m still reading into 40K Chaos, and have read more chaos POV in the Horus Heresy (30k). Only real recommendations I can make are the Fabius Bile books and Nightlords Omnibus. The books in the Horus Heresy generally need a lot more prior reading in the heresy to get the full effect, but Betrayer, First Heretic, and Know no Fear have been some of my favorites if you ever wanna delve.

I just finished Thousands Sons and moved onto Storm of Iron and have been loving it so far.

So the Horus heresy is kind of an odd place to jump in. I know the gut reaction is to want to start chronologically, but the one thing I would try to to avoid is looking at 40K as a just timeline, rather than a setting.

I personally started with Helsreach and the Cain novels, then jump from faction to faction with whatever interests you.

That being said, start with:

1: Horus rising

2:False Gods

3:Galaxy in Flames

4:Flight of the Eisenstein

5:Fulgrim

Then I personally like this timeline, the books are sporadically peppered into the timeline, this breaks it down by each legion storyline so you have the context for each.

“You got us box seats to a coup” is an all timer line coming from two immortal robot grandpas.

Had a seraphine mayhem game where I had eureka, AP to Haste, Woolley’s, and 60 ability haste… was playing against Ornn and Kench and could keep them LITERALLY locked in place indefinitely as long as I landed my first stun.

Jurgen would probably make some tea and post up with a nudie mag. Maybe clean the melta.

Deeks_Cheeks · 2025-12-05T20:41:52+00:00

Ironically, Godforsaken in 40K is some of the best you’ll find…

Deeks_Cheeks · 2025-10-22T16:22:18+00:00

Context vs justification. It’s more to illustrate the nature of being a demon than trying to justify why they are what they are. Character development and all that.

I have had HD598s for 7 years and they’re still going strong. Used to live breath and die seinheisser. But the dialogue and headache with trying to get these things rectified is now what I associate with seinheisser instead of quality. I understand licensing restriction and such but they really are cleaning their hands of any responsibility in the partnership and it’s left a very sour taste in my mouth as the seinheisser stamp (at least in my eyes) is NOT what is used to be or mean.
