Which fiction?

Phryxis — GMT

If I wanted to start reading some 40K fiction, and have not read anything yet, what book should I start with?

I've read the Eisenhorn books, the Ravenor books, a couple Gaunt's Ghosts books and a couple Horus Heresy books. I recommend Eisenhorn and Ravenor, Gaunt's Ghosts is good too, Horus Heresy is alright.

Eisenhorn is probably the best series out there, and also the best placee to start. Get the Omnibus that collects all three books and two short stories.

In general, IMHO, any book by Dan Abnett is worth reading, if you want a laugh, the Ciaphas Cain books by Sandy Mitchell are a pretty good read as well. All other books, read at your own risk...

Eisenhorn is my favorite. I just didn't like always being told what they were wearing.

You can't go wrong if it says 'Abnett' on the cover.

I actually am a big fan of the Horus Heresy series so far. They have been pretty refreshing, less of the "grim darkness and skulls" and more hope and real heroes.

Eisenhorn is great. I read that one about 5 times.

I really like "Farseer" as well. I read that one a minumum of 12 times.

I echo the Einhorn recommendations, good stuff.

I also recommend the short story collection Deathwing. It was written back during the RT days and has some different stuff than the current crop. One problem is that the 00s reprint edited out all Squat references, so Squat Engineer Grimm, becomes tech priest Grill in one story.

Other than that, good stuff.

What did you guys think of Grey Knights?

Seriously? They editted out the Squats?
Man. Sometimes GW are freakin' wierdos.

I'd reccomend the first Gaunts Ghosts novel, First and Only, and the first Horus Heresy book. Deathwing is pretty good too.
The old 2nd ed codex imperialus, rulebook and wargear book had some cool fiction in them too.

I thought about picking up the Gotrek and Felix Omnibus (Omnibus' are the only way to read BL books, they are a major savings and the books are such fast reads that you need 3 of them). Has anybody read it and is it any good?
