[ragnarcissist]

dont know if there is already a thread like this, but i just wanted to know what your top five (no particular order required) are and also maybe get some ideas on what books i should pick up.

heres mine:

space wolf
titanicus
eisenhorn
thousand sons
battle of the fang


anybody suggest anymore? ive read the first 4 books of the horus heresy and the two about the space wolves. anyothers that are must reads? i heard legion was good...

All the HH novels are must reads for a 40k fan. Some are obviousy much better than others. Personally I really like Prospero burns, Thousand sons, Fulgrim, Deliverance Lost, Legion and the first 3 are must reads. To be honest just read them all.

Mine would be:

Legion
A Thousand Sons
Storm of Iron
Mechanicum
Titanicus

Also good are the Gaunt's Ghosts, Eisenhorn, Ravenor, and Ciaphas Cain series. Honorable mention also goes to Redemption Corps, good book but not quite top five.

I really enjoyed Tide of Iron, Fulgrim, Horus Rising, False Gods, and The Saint omnibus.

My favorite are in no specific order

1. Galaxy in Flames
2. Legion
3. Angels of Darkness
4. 13th Legion
5. Flight of the Eisenstine

Anything by ADB. First Heretic is one of my favorites in the HH series, and the Night Lord novels are great.

I've only read Legion and Deliverance Lost in the HH series, I don't think I'll be reading any more as I didn't think they were good. I have been liking the Ciphias Kain books though. The little throwbacks to ye olde times of recharging plasma guns and genestealer hybrids makes me happy.

I have to 2nd this. I love all of his books.

[Maleclypse]

Ravenor Omnibus is definitely a must.
