Hey I'm looking for a good read and I'm not sure which 40K novels are good and which are bad so if anyone can recommend anything: much appreciated!

(Preferably something with Necrons if you can

)

I haven't read any novels containing significant necrons but i have ready one of the gaunts ghosts anthologies and I really enjoyed it.

I can also suggest another anthology that i read which was about the space wolves. It was also fantastic.

Do you have any specific names for the books? That would help find them.

Agate · July 27th, 2008, 02:12

I will look around and let you know if i can find the names

You cant go wrong with the Horus Heresy books or the Eisenhorn Series, both are extremely good

Marlinspike · July 27th, 2008, 03:41

Anything by Dan Abnett.

Brilliant author, methinks.

EDIT:

I have to second the Eisenhorn series. Awesome books. (Written by Abnett too!)

I still love the Last Chancers series of books. This consists of 13th Legion, Kill Team and Annihalation Squad. Great series of books in my opinion.

Commissar Grimsson · July 27th, 2008, 04:28

Last chancers are GREAT!!!!!!

I also strongly recommend the Caiaphas Cain series. There are 5 books and a short story, I enjoyed them all. However there are a lot of haters, claiming that the series sucks. Simply, they are wrong.

For Gaunt's Ghosts, there's:

First and Only
Ghostmaker
Necropolis
>>>(all 3 collected in The Founding Omnibus)
Honour Guard
The Guns of Tanith
Straight Silver
Sabbat Martyr
>>>(all 4 collected in The Saint Omnibus)
Traitor General
His Last Command
The Armour of Contempt
Only in Death.

The Eisenhorn Series has:

Xenos
Malleus
Hereticus

Then there's the Ravenor Series:

Ravenor
Ravenor Returned
Ravenor Rogue

The Space Wolf series is another favourite:

Space Wolf
Ragnar's Claw
Grey Hunter
Wolfblade
Sons of Fenris
Wolf's Honour

The Blood Ravens Omnibus features Necrons - although I didn't think they were as well written as some of the other books - the first three Horus Heresy books are really very good...
