Crazed Spirit of the Defiler
|
I want to read up on a few of my favorite Legion/Chapters. Can anyone point out the best books to read for the following? Either HH or post Heresy would be good.
Night Lords: I have the Soul Reaver(?) trilogy, want more.
Alpha Legion: I have nothing.
Raven Guard: Also nothing.
Thanks.

 "Because the Wolves kill cleanly, and we do not. They also kill quickly, and we have never done that, either. They fight, they win, and they stalk back to their ships with their tails held high. If they were ever ordered to destroy another Legion, they would do it by hurling warrior against warrior, seeking to grind their enemies down with the admirable delusions of the 'noble savage'. If we were ever ordered to assault another Legion, we would virus bomb their recruitment worlds; slaughter their serfs and slaves; poison their gene-seed repositories and spend the next dozen decades watching them die slow, humiliating deaths. Night after night, raid after raid, we'd overwhelm stragglers from their fleets and bleach their skulls to hang from our armour, until none remained. But that isn't the quick execution the Emperor needs, is it? The Wolves go for the throat. We go for the eyes. Then the tongue. Then the hands. Then the feet. Then we skin the crippled remains, and offer it up as an example to any still bearing witness. The Wolves were warriors before they became soldiers. We were murderers first, last, and always!" —Jago Sevatarion

Lord of the Night by Simon Spurrier is also good for Night Lords.
|
Help me, Rhonda. HA! |

Raven Guard have really good Audio Dramas. Lost is a decent one but Alone was really impressive. Heresy books like Deliverance Lost and Raptor were more fun than I thought they'd be. And Deliverance Lost has some entertaining bits of Alpha Legion.
Lord of the Night is one of the better Black Library books available. Very metaphorical writing that I enjoyed. Zso Sahaal will always be the better Night Lord 1st Captain. But, in that vein, Prince of Crows and A Long Night both feature Sevatar and he's a decent enough character.

Glorious Lord of Chaos
The burning pits of Hades, also known as Sweden in summer
|
The Serpent Beneath is allegedly a good AL novella.
