Well i can recommend the dark apostle its 40k but lots of gore an killing not so much space ships as its mostly landbased fighting with a very sinister twist a very good read thats bias towards the chaos army

I'm a huge fan of the Dawn of War strategy games, so I picked up the 2nd and 3rd novel in the Dawn of War series. The first part was out of print and going for ridiculous prices on ebay, so I figured I'd wait on it.

I have a bunch of the novels, just haven't got around to reading them. Think I'm gonna read the Horus Heresy series and Grey Knights next.

Edit: Well just checked amazon and now there's a Blood Ravens : Dawn of War Omnibus with all 3 novels together Blood Ravens Omnibus

Definitely, I just finished "The Palace of the Plague Lord." It's about a Norscan (basically a chosen if you wanna speak in WAR terms) who goes on a quest to recover an ancient artifact. It's pretty unique because the antagonist is basically evil. Excellent read.

I read "Manslayer" (a Gotrek and Felix book) just before that, and it was pretty good as well. Only reason I didn't get the "First Omnibus" is because I couldn't find it at the time. But I do plan on reading that and all the others as well.

Also, I picked up the first Malus Darkblade book today, "The Daemon's Curse." I'll let you know what I think whenever I get done reading it.

Well i havent read any of the warhammer books, i dont have time to read anymore like i use to, but sithius isnt the antagonist always usually evil? (antagonist= Supporting char that creates a conflict for the protagonist=main char). Normally book's protagonist is good and antagonist is evil

My order from the Black Library site finally came after like a month shipping (they're overseas).
Got all 3 of the Grey Knights novels, the second Horus Heresy novel, and the Imperial Infantryman's Uplifting Primer.

You should check out Legion by Dan Abnett and Decent of Angels by Mitchel Scanlon. Both excellent reads.

True dat. I guess I'm used to calling the evil guy the antagonist so I said the same thing this time even though the main character (the PROTAGONIST

) is basically an evil character.
