Not my legion, but the author has yet to disappoint me, so a must-have for me whenever they release the non-limited pauper edition.
Interesting the trim/colour lay out on the armour varying wildly between the 3 space marines pictured.
All from different squads?
Wildly different ranks?
Hopefully will find out.

He’s one of the best, but notoriously slow and has other book series’ I’d rather he be writing for tbh.
Oh yeah, people are still waiting on the third Black Legion novel, but at least his Siege of Terra is DONE, and will be released sometime this year, hopefully the regular hardback will be released alongside the limited edition like they did with Warhawk, instead of making us wait even longer.
According to Amazon, book seven won't drop until 13th of September or thereabout. So I think Dan's book won't drop until 2023, unless they're cutting it really close, but I doubt it.

There was some speculation based on something Dan said (that I haven’t seen myself) that his last book was very big and has been split into 2 books. Nothing official, he didn’t even specify it was that book from what I remember. I’d be pretty unhappy if that’s the case as it was sold as a limited 8 book series from the start, and it’s been stressful enough trying to get the limited editions so far - an extra one might do me in.

To be fair I expected them to milk a lot more LE novellas. If it's too big for one book (and there does seem rather a lot still to do) I'd rather they didn't edit it to death to hit an arbitrary number of books.
Also, sympathy with ADB, in that turning out a book with a newborn strikes me as herculean enough as it is.
I'm a bit surprised this week with the HH relaunch that we've not had something about another run or POD for the Primarchs books. Some (most) of them are complete gaks to find now.
Hasn't the Ghost saga been put on hold until Pandaemonium and Siege of Terra are finished though?
Speaking of Dan's Ghosts, finally had the chance to read the Vincula Insurgency, quite enjoyed it, now we wait for the next batch of plastics and accompanying novella I guess, as he did drop in some nice stuff to make up for the lack of real danger with regards to it being a book set so early in the series.
The Vincula Insurgency neatly slots into the second book, Ghostmaker, following up on the story where they got flushed out of the city, blew up the sewers and were then shelled by friendlies under orders of those Volpone bastards.
Dan really needs to do a recommended reading order timeline like he did with his Eisenhorn saga, though the Ghosts one maybe a bit massive and convoluted given the amount that's been written for the series.
Why does the Special Edition for Echoes of Eternity have the 40K Blood Angel Chapter symbol and not the 30K Blood Angel Legion symbol?

I apologize if this thread isn't quite the place to do so (in which case please tell me where to go), but I wanted to ask for recommendations for the very best Chaos 40k and fantasy books, particularly concerning Tzeentch.
I've read and loved Riders of the Dead, A Thousand Sons, Burning of Prospero, Know No Fear, The First Heretic, and the classic opening Horus Heresy trilogy.* Have I already read the best of what Black Library Chaos has to offer, or are other tomes worth perusing?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
*(On audio, I'd also highly recommend the audio drama Perfection and the Gotrek and Felix audiobook, Slayer of the Storm God, an early Black Library audio gem. Slayer of the Storm god is a great Old World Chaos tale concerning a minor deity (Chaos demigod?) rather than one of the big four, written by Nathan Long and brought to life by Danny Webb, a highly talented reader who, much like Martyn Eliss, is sadly no longer cast in Black Library productions. If you like stories that blend Old World sword and sorcery, folk horror, and a dash of seaport brine, this is smart, brisk, flavorful stuff. Webb does damn fine character voices, nailing Gotrek, Felix, a belligerent tentacled pirate, and a delightfully hateful, mischievous mutant hag, among many others. I've played it for my not-Warhammer-initiated family, and it's good enough that it sucks them all in with sheer quality.)

I like Lords of Silence, Lord of the Night (many years since I read it, might not be as good as I remember), Orfeo trilogy by Brian Craig (a style of book that BL doesn't make anymore, might not be to everyone's taste, might also be hard to find) The Corrupted, and Fel Cargo is a bit chaosy too I suppose.
While neither are really Tzeentch related, the Night Lords trilogy is good, the main character does have the psychic ability to somewhat reliably tell the future. There's also Shroud of Night, which is a fun read if you're into the Alpha Legion and their first encounter with Primaris Marines.
The Imperial Guard novel Honourbound and it's prequel novellas all deal with the Imperial Guard fighting against an army of cultists called the Sighted (IIRC) that's very Tzeentchian with its culture and rituals.
The Horus Heresy novella Aurelian also features Kairos, this story takes place in between a few chapters of the First Heretic.

It's out of print now, so it's second hand copies only, but 'Eye of Terror' by Barrington J Bayley does have a delightfully convoluted Tzeentchian scheme, wrapped up in some very old-school Rogue Trader-esque dressing.
