I'm getting towards the ends of the Ultramarine/Iron Warriors series. This series occurs between two sets of omnibuses, and I have been using a table on a lore-centric website to guide me through the inter-relating stories (http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Iron_Warriors_%28Novel_Series%29#.Uzybzle9beo). However, when you come to finishing the short story "Iron Warrior," there is no clear indication which story to read next; next is either the short story "The Iron Without " or the novel "The Chapter's Due." Which should I read first to best non-spoiler effect?

I think the order would be: Storm of Iron,Dead Sky Black sun, The Heraclitus Effect, Courage and Honour, Skull Harvest, Iron Warrior, Iron Without, Chapter's Due then The Beast of Calth.

It is really what side of the final battle do you want to read first.
