Bonus points for any books you believe are classics from that time period. Any language, but only fiction please.

I’m really excited to see what Lemmy has.

    Dan Abnett. Eisenhorn, Gaunt, and Bequin. I understand that the setting doesn’t necessarily appeal to everyone, but the way he writes prose is beautiful in my opinion. And he writes excellent characters.

      Hands down best 40k author, however a lot of that is coming from him somewhat downplaying the grotesque over the top grimdarkness of entire setting and just writting it more like either traditional war story (Gaunt) or occult mystery (Eisenhorn) with plenty of horrors present but more related to the genre than to setting. Sadly i didn’t read Ravenor trilogy or Bequin novels, can’t get them in Poland.

      Also 40k recently got some interesting authors rising. David Annadale or Robert Rath are getting some quality stuff out, not like the Goto shit.
