Warhammer Novels

I'm reading the Malus Darkblade series, which is mainly about the Warhammer Dark Elves. I'm enjoying the series, though I'm very interested in the Druchii fluff so that probably colors my appreciation. It's not the best book ever written, but not too bad. I'm on the third book so it's kept my attention.

Next up I'm thinking about reading a book Desertfox recommended, Dark Riders, or I may delve into the undead of Warhammer with the Dominion series.

The Von Carstien trilogy is pretty good. I've read the first 2 books and the third is releasing shortly.

I haven't read any Warhammer books besides a TON of RPG books, so I know alot of the lore and such, and this is one of the book series that I'd like to read. Do they have one on Nagash and the Tomb Kings? That would be good too.

They are some references to nagash in the von carstien trilogy but I don't know of any novels that are specifically about him. There is this one which is supposed to be written by Mannfred von Carstien here

Yeah that's what I meant when I said the Dominion series.. couldn't remember it's name. That series looks pretty interesting.

There is a novel said the Konrad saga but I dont like it

I recommand the Gotrik and Felix series. The rie took place from the orc infested borderland to the dwarf slayer keep; from Nuln to the Chaos Waste; from the Sylvania to Naggaroth.

I also recommand Raids of the Dead

And the Mathias Thulmann series, stories about a witch hunter

Personally thought Konrad was pretty good, read a Gotrik and Felix book, it was alright. Read a few 40k books too.

All the stuff I've read is along the lines of standard licensed fantasy, but maybe there's better

Gotrik and Felix are badass! I've read most if not all of the books following their adventures. Also read the Space Wolf novels in the 40k universe....pretty decent books all around.

I just bought Gotrek & Felix, The First Omnibus... hopefully it's good.
