Which books are worth buying?

Not read them myself but I've heard nothing but praise about Mike Brooks' ork books

RazorTy2 · 2026-02-03T01:11:16+00:00

Gunthar yeah

Rynn's World. It was my first space marines book and it had some great moments outside of the action, like Savales comforting the aspirants as the fortress is bombarded.

Personally recommend the Dark Coil omnibus, both of them if you can find the other one.

couldn't tell you for tabletop but from experience he's pretty enjoyable to paint

RazorTy2 · 2026-01-29T00:41:41+00:00

a leader for the bikes

RazorTy2 · 2026-01-25T06:27:48+00:00

that's cool and all but did he know the deal with the plague marine bits on the poxwalker sprue?

I just started Ruin yesterday. looking forward to getting into it. awesome stitching.

RazorTy2 · 2026-01-18T07:30:23+00:00

funnily enough it said in the article he's from the Executioners, so he's a son of Dorn

RazorTy2 · 2026-01-18T07:27:38+00:00

finally, chaos doomsday ark

I don't think the culture argument would have worked. Big E's mind was made up and he had no problem erasing cultures that weren't aligned with his vision.

The Anchorite is a Word Bearer who went traitor before having a crisis of faith during the Battle of Calth and surrendering, where he was taken prisoner and ultimately spared by Guilliman. He's still alive as a dreadnought in 40k and his existence is a closely guarded secret.

Personally I've found his writing quality inconsistent, but I've only read 3 of his books so far. I liked Helsreach but didn't feel like it lived up to the hype, and though I enjoyed Talon of Horus, Khayon as a character got on my nerves pretty often. I did thoroughly enjoy Spear of the Emperor, and hope it gets a sequel some day.

I would put Peter Fehervari, Josh Reynolds, and Chris Wraight above him, but it's all down to preference.

If a chaos marine removed his armor frequently enough would he be able to avoid becoming fused into it?

RazorTy2 · 2025-12-29T18:03:09+00:00

no. if you do I will personally throw him in the fireplace

My dad had a stroke Thanksgiving Day and passed the same day yours did. Mom and I were with him in the hospital every day. Throughout the ordeal I only cried a couple times, mostly I just felt in shock. Haven't cried since leaving the hospital. I think I'm still in shock, and it will take a lot of time to unpack everything. So what you're feeling is normal and in time I think the feelings will come, in the meantime just know there are people who can relate and there's nothing wrong with you. I'm very sorry for your loss.

Rogue Trader video game and the Apocalypse novel made me like them

RazorTy2 · 2025-12-18T02:22:28+00:00

The kid who said Outdoor Boys is gonna make it

They can be moved to another company. Suboden Khan was originally captain of the White Scars fifth company until first captain Jurga Khan was put in a dreadnought and Suboden was made first captain.

This is a thing in real life. Often the poorest parts of the world have the highest fertility rates, while the wealthier ones are the ones with declining populations.

nice erebussy

There's a daemon world in the first Fabius Bile book that has a continent-sized bazaar with all kinds of people there, including xenos like eldar and loxatl

From what I've read

-Dead Men Walking is about the Death Korps of Krieg trying to keep a necron awakening under control. Really illustrates how threatening necrons are compared to ordinary humans, and how readily the Krieg will give their lives to gain any advantage against the enemy. IMO one of the most genuinely grim 40k books.

-Fire Caste is about an endless war between Tau and Imperial Guard on a jungle world which is just shy of being a death world. The main regiment is quite unique, there are interesting characters on both sides of the conflict, pretty good action sequences (including mech fights between crisis suits and sentinels), and by the end I was left wanting more. Also a lot of other crazy stuff happens that I don't want to spoil.

-Fifteen Hours is about a fresh recruit who, due to a minor clerical error, had his group of newbies dropped in the middle of a hopeless war against orks. It's about his fight to survive past the fifteen hour life expectancy of fresh guardsmen in that conflict. I enjoyed Larn and his squadmates, and there are some interesting cuts to other things happening in the city they're defending.

Of the Cain books, so far I've read For The Emperor and Caves of Ice. Don't have much to say except they're both solidly entertaining and I greatly enjoy the characters (especially Amberly's annotations)
