Hi there!
I want to read a novel where CSM (or daemons) are main characters (ot, at least, main enemies), but I'm not sure which one, after having a look in the Black Library catalogue. I've red Storm of Iron; Dead Sky, Black Sun and The Flight of the Einsenstein (this one just because I like Death Guard).
Which novel(s) or series would you recommend me, as a Chaos player who likes fluff? Word Bearers series? Night Lords series? Blood Gorgons (they look pretty interesting)? Thankie! ^^

Aaron Dembski-Bowden's "Soul Hunter" and "Blood Reaver", with the releasing next May "Void Stalker" are pretty much my best recommendations.

The first Grey Knights novel may be good for you too. Doubt the others will appeal though if you are looking specifically for CSM and Daemons as the main enemy (i know this is counter-intuitive, but trust me)

I'll echo Kan, Soul Hunter and Blood Reaver, also Lord of the Night. These, along with Storm of Iron, are, imo, the best CSM books out there and amongst the best fiction that the Black Library has ever published. The Word Bearers series is pretty good but a bit derpy (tens of billions of fortified and entrenched veteran guardsmen with extensive anti-orbital defenses apparently are not considered any match for 6000 chaos marine invaders by the loyalists in the book...despite being outnumbered by millions to one)

I've red very good opinions about Blood Gorgons... I may read it first then go Night Lords series... thanks for the advices!

Wow. That's straight up full slow. That's like when the tyranids splinter fleet somehow destroyed the Iron Warriors fortress-planet completely covered in defenses and 300 defilers, all to make Trygons seem all that in fluff.
