To be honest - pretty much any of the characters in Helsreach could have novels written about them - would be great
A Jurgan short story would be great fun

"He eventually found the captain. Crucified against the bulk head, his arms and legs seemingly cut off and sewn back on;The Ork's Dok's having wondered about how the human body reacted to their practice", to paraphrase.

There's an entire series of those, actually. Quality is mixed but some of them are pretty good, and they're nice spotlights on some Guard regiments that don't usually get into the fiction.

perhaps a story from the point of view of Luther as a finish to the tale of the fall of caliban? I feel if we learn more about his motives and how he fell it would add a lot to his story and the dark angels in general, instead of "He was jealous so he turned to chaos." as he is portrayed (at least in the books i've read) as a very strong character, and I can't see him turning against his commander and best friend out of sheer jealousy.

Maybe once I am out of the military I will continue it, maybe this christmas, or so.
But a Gazzy story would be very readable, maybe switching from his pov to yarricks, and playing up the diffences on how the two view the world.
So many story ideas..and so little written about them, just burned out on all the marine/heresy stuff.

Ephrael Stern. I'd really like to know how the story ends.
"And so my lord, the case of Inquisitor Hand and Ephrael Stern is incomplete. I understand that senior members of the Ordo Malleus are hunting her, and in this regard I have linked Stern with the investigations of one Inquisitor Grinn. It is evident the Secret Masters of the Ordo Malleus consider her capture to be of the utmost importance, yet their thinking appears split as to her significance. Some regard her as a dangerous aberration, while others maintain she is Mankind's greatest hope against Chaos since the Primarchs. Whatever the case my lord, I am certain our investigations will uncover more, and that the saga of Ephrael Stern is far from over."
- GW teasing dated 2006 
Also, +1 on the Marbo novel! That should be a great read. One of the rare cases where I'd approve of humour in 40k. 
Perhaps even make it a comic a la Deff Skwadron - the humour should be even more "conveyable" in such media thanks to cliché facial expressions, overdone explosions and enemies flying through the air by the dozen when they are hit by Marbo's bullets.
Hey, thanks - I was just about to add "I want a novel about Valhallans" to the things above. Looks like I'll have to take a look at "Ice Guard".

The problem with Xenos POV stories is that it's very difficult to write from a completely alien perspective. To immerse yourself in a perspective that would involve ridiculously different societal and individual values. look how awkwardly most of the Black Library authors write Space Marines. These guys are thoroughly brainwashed, combat condition warriors who have had most semblances of human emotion and motivation conditioned out of them. They are effectively immortal, and live only to make war, and plan to make war. They are inhuman as is, almost entirely unrelateable for normal humans like we are. But many of the authors struggle to depict them in a realistic manner. Thus the quality of Space Marine characters varies widely. Some, like the recent audio drama Mission: Purge, are absolutely awful, turning Space Marines into 80s Buddy Action Movie stars making veiled gay jokes. Others are just somewhat awkwardly human, and suddenly reverting to emotionless killing machines as the story demands. It's not easy to adopt the personas of these kinds of characters and write them well. And they're technically human.
Orks can be done in the comedic sense, because they are the comic relief of the setting. On the other hand, the motivations of the Eldar might be ridiculously different from our own. They functionally live forever, but at the same time understand that death is permanent and horrible for them. They know the ultimate fate of the galaxy, and the true nature of the Warp and its entities, and yet remain "sane".
Ultimately, you're asking efficient, but only moderately talented writers to grapple with difficult characters. While I believe this isn't a problem (license fiction like this rarely has a discerning fanbase, they just want the war porn) sales wise, I think the reason why you find less instances of the Xenos books is because the authors don't want to tackle them due to the difficulty curve. I imagine they're getting paid by the book. Churn out two or three easy Space Marine books, or even the less popular but easy Imperial Guard, or struggle with a Xenos book? I mean, I imagine most of them have at least some level of standard they hold themselves to.

My issue with Space Marine-centric books is that it's very hard to give personality to people who aren't supposed to have them. It's also quite difficult to give them character development within the constraints of their design.
This is kinda why I liked Legion, it took a human perspective with the Alpha Legion, instead of it just narrating what they did. I honestly think it's very difficult to write a good SM novel from the perspective of the space marine.

there are a series of novels for each already - the Necromunda ones mainly centered around Kal Jerico - and not sure if they are still available - Bloood Bowl triology was a suprisingly enjoyable read for me.
re Xenos Novels
The recent Eldar Path books have been pretty good and very contrasting to the mainstream BL novels.
I still think Fire Warrior is great - despite people not being happy about his abilities - for me the whole point was that he was the exception.............in fact thinking about it - in a race of "blunts" he might have been one of the very few not blessed with that defence............so the Tau equivalnet of a Priah (but opposite) if you see what i mean.
Many of my favourite books - Helsreach, Legion, Titanicus, Cain novels, Night Lords books have a range of characters in them to give a fuller flavour of the 40K universe. They do seem to work by mostly having the Marines as in the background rather than the central characters - even in the Night Lords novels it is (fro me anyway) more about the human/ well Navigator and human characters.
I wouls also love to see more about the Mechancius - every little helps in finally getting us the Codex!

Inquisitor Amberely Vail (Cain Novels) says exactly that about her colleagues and others and def prefers to handle thins more subtely where she is able - although of course orbital strikes on occassion are the only possible option............
"Some Inquisitors believe the Emperor’s work is best done by charging around the place like a grox in a ceramic emporium, leaving a trail of carnage and destruction in their wake, while others prefer not to let the enemies of all that’s good and holy get clean away by making it blindingly obvious they’re coming for them."

I confess to knowing little about the varieties of metal. For me, the categories are "metal I can listen to" and "metal I can't." FWIW, I'd think Iron Maiden should provide the soundtrack for 40k.
And on that note, I daresay I'd enjoy a book or short story focusing on Noise Marines.

Iron Maiden is good, and honestly I don't think most Death or Black Metal bands could really capture the operatic tone of 40k. Or rather, the sheer levels of ham and machismo.
Manowar could do it. They are the only band whose music and image rivals the sheer homoeroticism present in Graham McNeill's body of work.
Ftr, Blax and I know eachother outside of Dakka, which is why I insult him the way I do.
But I'll stop.

I've never met this Void Dragon roughian outside of this forum; I have no idea who this cantankerous carnosaur is.
Ban him. Ban him immediately Manchu, before it's too late.

I'd like to see something on Lelith Hesperax, or just see more of the Dark Eldar in general.

Possibly Ingo Pech, but well, Herzog roars.
And roaring is cool.

I would also love to read a book about the Flesh Tearers getting make extinct by an Order of Sororitas. That would be lovely to read about, and much deserved.

Cool comment, which song? My favorite is the Ghost of the Navigator, but the Clansman also rule, and bonus points they are football-fanatics like myself.

#1 thing I'd like to see from Black Library: more sequels to Sandy Mitchell's Dark Heresy tie-in Scourge the Heretic. Honestly I think those are among the best 40k fiction out there - a very under-appreciated pair of novels.

Agreed - I really enjoyed them and the characters - sad there has not been a third :(

I want more eldar phoenix lords in print, but from a space marine POV. I find with Eldar POV books, they always seem more like angsty humans as authors try to make them relatable to the reader.
