On a Canoptek Spyder's Waiting List




I'm looking for the best piece of Bolter Porn out there. Millions of Bolter rounds flying, seemingly insurmountable odds, heroic sacrifices and untold numbers of fatalities are a must. Character development, intrigue, stealth and suspense need only be background noise to the sound of fierce and brutal combat.

So I thought I'd come to Dakka for recommendations. What is the best Bolter porn novel out there today?

When I read the title I was intrigued, a High school Prom with Bolters? Possibly several and there appears to be a best one? (a bit dark I thought) You have shattered my expectations damn you!

The first book I read was about the Ultras versus Tyranids. That was a pretty good book. There was that Armaggedon book about the BT dread. I really enjoyed that one as well. (I have a thing for dreads that may slant my view lol)

Any Battles of the Space Marines book pretty much forgoes any kind of narrative/character development for bolter porn.

I really REALLY have to disagree. Gildar Rift fleshed out a lot of characters. I am reading Legion of the Damned right now. Half way through and there has been ZERO bolter porn. The quality of story telling I think has gone up exponentially over the years.

Bolter Porn? Best book for pure Combat, dis-regarding quality of literature, plot development.

"Storm of Iron" beginning to end, Combat.

No one should be complaining about this codex. It gave regular Eldar a much needed buff by allowing us to drop Fire Dragons and D-Scythe Wraithguard wherever we want, without scatter. Without this, I almost lost a game once. It was scary. I almost took to buying fixed dice to ensure it never happened again.

This. It's an awesome book, well-written, and so full of battle it's ridiculous. Also:

"Space Marine" is where Kid Kyoto got a lot of his early joke material.

There's a sequence in either Space Marine or Imperial Fist where the Marines board a Tyranid ship...through the sphincter.

Yeah never liked that book, it didn't make any sense. Space Marine Scouts squad board titan eats the Princeps guys brains then pilot a titan, and kill 5 other titans with a shot TO THE FACE. Then everyone sit around and say "WTF happened there?" Not one member of the Imperial Fists seemed to think this whole escapade deserved serious investigation or an Award. I'm not even going to start on the Space Marine captain Torso (flesh tearer) they found encased in concrete and had a chat with.....Total FUBAR book. It was like C.S Goto if he had a crystal meth habit.

Helsreach was an excellent choice.

Attack of the Orks on Armageddon, only about a hundred BT left behind to defend a hive? Titans, Stormtroopers, IG, it's all there.

It's my go-to book.

The three IG books in "Hammer of the Emperor" are pretty bolter-porn centric. Well, flashlight -po... er... you get the idea.

"The Purging of Kallidus", with the Dark Angels is also ded killy. As is "Fall of Damnos". Actually, I want to re-read the latter. It's so killy even the smurfs get knocked silly.

As mentioned, "Warriors of Ultramar" the second of G. McNeill's Ultramarines books, is a long, shooty fight with lots of epicness, including:

Spoiler:

Behind the Tyranid "lines" insertion of an Astartes strike force.

A settlement of civilians being torn apart by Tyranids, from the PoV of said civilians.

Blowing up hive fleets by creating a "fire ship" of massive space refineries.

The Imerial Navy fighting massive fleet battles againt the hive fleet.

Trench warfare against the Tyranids.

Battle of the Fang or Helsreach; amazing books - both of 'em.

I think Helsreach has more bolter porn to it though
