What would you like to see as the next subject matter for a Novel? Inquisitors, Chaotic subjects, Loyalist chapters Naval guard. Anything.

What would you like to see?

Straken or Creed.

More arbites please,3 books in the life of one character is not enough

Yet that would be difficult in the fact they've already got set fluff from their codex. That wouldn't give an author the ability to do much other than account set battles with them. I was thinking more groups not Characters? Whens that ever been done by them other than in the Horus Heresy Novels?

I would definitely be a fan of seeing some more rogue trader novels. They don't even have to deal with xenos or chaos. Just duplicitous humans. And maybe tau.

Also Tau. I love me some blue commie space goats.

I would like to see more fluff about Necromunda and alternative Imperial Guard regiments or the Imperial Navy. Maybe a traitor regiment being the central axis of the story.

As well, more Black Templars. Only if the book doesn't suck, though.

Anything but Marines.

A Navy novel sounds cool. Or maybe a Tau one. I also like the prospect of more stories about Necromunda or other IG regiments (Valhallans? Mordians?).

Adeptus Arbites and Catachans. There's not enough out there about not-Judge Dredds and the men from Planet Rambo.

Grey Knights, Imperial Navy, Titans, and the assassins. If anything, give me assassins!

Read "Savage Scars" you do get a bit of the White Scars, yet you do get everything you've asked for. Mostly.

Imperial Guard Tank Company/Titans/Imperial Navy/Adeptus Mechanicus

Adeptus Mechanicus, how would you personally like that delivered? With all the deadpan non-emotional only calculated logical decisions? So only killing in good odds fighting battles that only concern them.

They could only be brought in through over characters with power over them, like an Inquisitor.

They would be Interesting but they're pretty much covered by the multitude of Novels out there.

I would like to see a well written Ork viewpoint novel..

I would find that intresting yet from the perspective of a Gretchin perhaps, comical and possible for they're more intellectual and cunning. Whereas the only Ork or two possible to write a Novel from their perspective Ghaz and Badrukk. And since Ghaz's extensively written in Fluff It would be Badrukk or Gretchin.

The Grey Knights have a three-part novel series, and Aron Dembski-Bowden is making a new one from the perspective of an Interceptor. For assassins, check out Nemesis.

Hence more Black Templars that doesn't suck, eh?

A novel from the Ork perspective

Yes, but those GK books are really, really bad. Ben Counter is not a good writer. It was hard enough to make it through the 20 page preview of one of his GK books, let alone a whole trilogy.

There's enough techpriest characters for all the AdMech stuff you could want. There's one in almost every IG-centric book, saying snarky things and getting shot somewhere.

I agree. Non-Stallone Arbite or Catachan fiction would be awesome. (For originality, not to knock Stallone, y'understand.)

I'd like to see a Sisters novel series.

Check the book Gunheads. Centered around a IG tank sergeant, on Golgotha to retrieve Yarricks Baneblade.

Arbites sound popular.
What about the style written in? A dynamic action style or a very explanatory descriptive book. Still post what you want to see though.

Personally I would be going for a Council deceit and power scenario. I would find that Intresting, and I would like something more Intellectual and thought provoking/engaging than point the Bolter at their head pull trigger and watch the Head explode in a shower of gore.

Obviously all books need a bit of that though.

Ork Viewpoint, Admech focussed, Tank squadron thingybob.

Define Ork. They're many parts of Ork Kulture. That and the fact the Book will be mind boggling since It won't be in english and more a mixture of Ork and English. Equalling bad spelling with different letters.

That and what could you write about. Charge at the enemy and kick their faces in. Read my other post on the matter because I don't think it could be done unless from the Viewpoint of someone who could be considered cunning or Intellectual. I hasten to add Meks to that list. And perhaps Weirdboys but I think they're more likely to just shout and explode things.

A book about Draigo, that would be epic!

There is lots of potential for AdMech if you focus on some Explorator mission discovering an ancient [fill in plot device here], I think.

Not that it would concern me - the Mechanicus isn't really my thing - but I did like that Magos Biologis in "Red & Black", so I thought I'd throw in a bone here.

I'm currently reading some Ciaphas Cain, and I must say I would LOVE to see a book around an Arbitres written by the same author (Sandy Mitchell). This doesn't mean that I want to see Cain as an Arbitres, I would hope he can write a different character and all, but I really like his style, and after so many Space Marine books, it's very refreshing.

A book from the ork perspective could be very interesting too... a novel version of deff skawdron maybe?

A novel written from the perspective of one of the more sentient Necron beings. It could be a lord or anything else that has sentience. It would be interesting since it looks like they are having a huge fluff change.

The new fluff doesn't look up in my opinion. They've made them to like Tomb Kings and have possibly affected all written/known fluff in a bad way.

Will be Intrested with that though.

Perhaps a book written from the viewpoint of a Daemon champion? That would be interesting...
