the most enjoyable books i have read are by Dan Abnett. he seems like the best author. Guants ghosts are amazing, and the Eisenhorn trilogy is fantastic. the reason Gaunts ghosts are amazing is because they actually survive to live another dozen novels or so. 99% of one-off IG novels are where entire groups, regiments or armies crumble to a few men. example:
Spoiler:
rebel winter: very good book and plotline but an entire regiment reduced to 100 men or so.
Cadian blood: Regiment reduced to around 100 men or so
Gunheads: 20,000 men and armour reduced to 300 men
Deathworld: all men written about die
15 hours: ok so the majority survive but you know because of the stalemate the company will all be dead next week

i find graham mcneils Ultramarine stories reasonable, though they could be improved. as i go back to Dan Abnett. his stories are the most realistic and interesting i have ever read, and a really good use of characters.
Spoiler:
only problem is, he decides to kill off amazing characters which makes you start shouting at the book[spoiler] (DAMN YOU MR ABNETT! WHY BRAGG AND CORBEC!)
[/spoiler] but other wise, start digging up books by him. they are very good.

EDITED FOR SOLADRIN. HAPPY NOW???????

right. first thing. im new. there was no DAKKA DAKKA rants and raves section (which there should be) secondly. wtf is with people posting of burning. i come to this forum for help on subjects and get people posting images of burning. if you bother so much about people ranting and a stupid posts trolling or whatever, take it away and put a rave section. and im not spreading my terrible rubbish, i am just saying my opinion, not spreading it. you are seriously getting on my nerves. SHUT UP!
