First one or two are a bit hit and miss, after Necropolis though you're golden.

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Allright, so when I finish this one I''ll buy The Saint? wich contains Honour Guard, Guns of Tanith, Straight Silver and Sabbat martyr?

And then The lost with Traitor General, His last command and Only in death?

And then what? No more omnibus? Just loose books? I can't find any of the other books on BL!

Correct. You could wait for the Omnibus but you might as well get 'em.

The first 2 are annoying to figure out but yeah they release loose books until the entire arc has been released then they release the omnibus
but truly the books are worth buying loose they are pretty damn good

You're in for a treat, by the way. Gaunt's Ghosts pretty much changed the way I regarded 40k fiction.
