Personnally, Andrej the stormtrooper from Helsreach, or even a short story about those mercenaries who held the Orks for... 5 days? I think. And a first person serie starring Jurgen, I am really curious what goes through his head.

**Legion of Flame**

Heh.

Deathwatch? I would be interested to see a small amount of elites going ape on a xenos horde.

**Bobthehero**

I meant more like which character would like to read a book about, really.

But elites going ape on xenos sounds found, too.

**thenoobbomb**

Mathias Herzog from Legion.
He is ultimate cool.

**Arcani**

Anything from the point of view of Tau or Kroot.

**Pilau Rice**

A book detailing the life of Arguelon Veq, his early adventures and his rise and fall to Chaos.

Also, not a specific character, but tales of the Tyrants and despots involved in the Age of Strife and the Unification Wars.

**Brother Captain Alexander**

I know we will never get this but...about Eldar during the time of Fall.

To be honest - pretty much any of the characters in Helsreach could have novels written about them - would be great

A Jurgan short story would be great fun

An Amberely story without Cain would also be very interesting.

**Admiral Valerian**

The Emperor - seriously, we need more about this guy, ala The Last Church.

**GalacticZ**

GHAZZZY!!!!!!

An Ork book would be awesome. But it'd probably end up being a better Graphic Novel since Orks aren't the most literary.

**Abhorash15000**

A book about Lord Vandir would be great

**Coolyo294**

Morr the Incubus from Path of the Renegade.

Isn't the next book about him?

Huh, I did not know that.

I'd like to read a book from the point of view of an ork. it seems that we never really see them as anything other than a barbaric horde as they charge into battle. there's some really good opportunities for some nice comedy if someone took an ork POV.

**Fervor**

I'd be really interested in reading a book about Captain Vinyar/Vinyard of the Marines Malevolent.

**hawkeye**

I would love to read about Ahriman after his exile from the Planet of Sorcerers. What he had to do to survive and his search for the Black Library I believe would be interesting to read about.

There is some Ork POV in Imperial Glory - but be warned very little comedy in that book............quite the opposite. Good read though

**Harriticus**

*Normal non-Chaos rebels attemtping to overthrow Imperial rule (Spartacus in space)
*Tau perspective
*War in Heaven
*Officio Assassinorum

"He eventually found the captain. Crucified against the bulk head, his arms and legs seemingly cut off and sewn back on;The Ork's Dok's having wondered about how the human body reacted to their practice", to paraphrase. The Orky bit is however from the mindset of a feral ork and his rise to status as Big Boss. =)

**Testify**

The Imperial Guard who aren't Gaunt's Ghosts. Don't get me wrong I love the Ghosts, I just don't get why there aren't more IG books when they're by far the easiest to write.

**kwah**

id like a book about tau specifically bright sword or far sight and Shas’o R’alai.

Deff Skwadron! (Although it's a comic.)

There's an entire series of those, actually. Quality is mixed but some of them are pretty good, and they're nice spotlights on some Guard regiments that don't usually get into the fiction.

and this also.

perhaps a story from the point of view of Luther as a finish to the tale of the fall of caliban? I feel if we learn more about his motives and how he fell it would add a lot to his story and the dark angels in general, instead of "He was jealous so he turned to chaos." as he is portrayed (at least in the books i've read) as a very strong character, and I can't see him turning against his commander and best friend out of sheer jealousy.

**FearTheHappyChair**

The Guard. Just love them.
Something really cool though, like a siege, or an elite kasakin squad.

**Kung Fu Hamster**

Seeing a Tyranid POV book would be nice.

I've liked the idea so much I've started writing a short story from this particular POV. Here's what Iv'e got so far:

Spoiler:

**Soo'Vah'Cha**

I really want to read more books about marines..maybe red ones this time

Naw seriously I would love to read anybooks from a xenos or even partially from a non human perspective..anything.

So much so I even began a Human POV story about the Tau, its link is in my sig.

Maybe once I am out of the military I will continue it, maybe this christmas, or so.

But a Gazzy story would be very readable, maybe switching from his pov to yarricks, and playing up the diffences on how the two view the world.

So many story ideas..and so little written about them, just burned out on all the marine/heresy stuff.
