So i just finished reading the big hammer of the emperor book that had a couple if novels. I have to say my favorite was the Gunheads with the cadian army group sent to retrieve the fortress of arrogance from Golgotha. I love the cadian fluff and was wondering if there was any other novels over the cadian army?

Ive also heard good reviews of titanicus, any insight if this would be a good book as well?

The books on the The Macharian Crusade are good.

Dead men walking is another good IG book. But its A DKoK vs Necrons.

What are the macharian ones called? And i will probably read any good imperial guard book out there so whatever's good just throw the recommendations m way

Cadian Blood is really, really good. It's about a really hard-bitten Cadian regiment trying to retake a shrine world from a plague and a related Chaos cult. It's gritty, grimy, very well written, there are some good callbacks throughout the book, and it's Aaron Dembski-Bowden's first book with BL. He's my favorite BL author, so I'm a bit biased, but it's the book that made him a name for me to remember.

The Tanith First and Only by Dan Abnett, dont know how many times I have read those books but they are a great read

I will look into Cadian Blood but Im for sure taking note on all these books, thanks for the suggestions!

First book is called "Angel of Fire"
Second book is "Fist of Demetrius"
3rd book is released next year.

Just got done reading Angel of Fire & wow....it would be pretty horrifying living in a 40k universe as a guardsman. The book is from the perspective of a guardsman under the command of Lord Solar Macharius during the Macharian Crusade. There are some very interesting interactions between the two. I felt it did a amazing job of showing how insignificant a lone guardsmen can be in such a massive setting while simultaneously a single guardsman can change the fate of a entire campaign given that he is in the right place at the right time.

I am advising you to read on Down Amongst the Dead Men, as its written by the same author who wrote Dead Men Walking, but its a short story, so if you dislike the style, you'll have spent less money, and if you like it, its a great introduction to Dead Men Walking.

BaneBLAAAAAAAAAAAAAADE is great, too

Rebel winter is an IG novel that I love, I've read it four or five times. You can get it for 99p (approx.. $1.50) on eBay.

So many books, this is awesome!

I looked into cadian blood and will try to get that as its not to expensive but it is out of print.

I will also look into the macharian crusade series as that should keep me busy for a while and looking towards the next book.

Thanks for all the replies!

If you like aeronautical I would recommened Double Eagle by Dan Abbnet.
