Bloodbowl 2 had the best art, fluff and miniatures by far.

But I wouldn't touch the rules with a ten foot pole these days, the core turn sequence very much feel like it was designed to be relatively easy to grasp for Warhammer Fantasy Battle players, rather than because it fitted the theme. I regard the Bloodbowl 3.x rules as some of the best every written by GW, right up there with Battlefleet Gothic and Space Hulk. (exception: DungeonBowl, but the specific rules for that are easily tacked onto BB3.x)

As for 40k related stuff, the original Codex Titanicus for Space Marine & Adeptus Titanicus is hands down one of the best 40k related products GW has done I think, as the sidebar stories not only tie in with the accompanying rules, but the ones in the Imperial section mostly tie together to tell a continuous story.

I'm not sold timer but found a rather old book on a market stall, inquisitor, 1990.

Draco, or jaq depending on the point of view, complete with old illustration and such :-)

Read Storm of Iron if you want to recall the hey-days of Epic 40k where you threw your worthless infantry at the enemy just to distract them so you could move your Titans into a better position.

Execution Hour was a good reminder of Battlefleet Gothic.

The one Tanith novel Honour Guard goes a lot into detail about combined arms tank-and-infantry fights, some in urban environments. Very "Cities of Death"-like when it first came out, IMHO, also back when every IG player had like a ton of Leman Russes.

We dont all have a ton of Russes now?

Personally for me it has to be:

The Gaunts Ghosts novels

The Battlefleet Gothic novels

The Battlefleet Gothic rules (Has a special place amongst the collection)

4th edition.

The 2nd edition rules (yes, I have them and the vehicle supplements)

I wish they'd write more BFG books. But why would they with Specialist Games dead :(
