Roomsky Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) As much as it has consumed my reading for the past year and a half, I've still only scratched the surface of the Black Library's output. As my collection grows and shrinks, I've noticed my main focus is on Space Marines. I'd like to have at least 1 good book for each "faction" down the line, so I was wondering what people would recommend as reading for the main xenos races. That is, recommendations for Tau, Eldar, Tyranids, Necrons, and anything else you can think of. Working through Legends of the Dark Millenium: The Tau Empire at the moment, seems fine so far but nothing mind blowing. Anyone have an opinion on Fire Warrior?

Brother Tyler Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 With the expansion of the B&C to include xenos, this topic has been re-opened.

Roomsky Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 If anyone was wondering, Legends of the Dark Millenium: The Tau Empire is largely mediocre, though possibly worth it just for the excellent Peter Fehervari shorts, something which I'm sure will come as a surprise to approximately no one.

Xisor Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Gav, Andy and Guy's Eldar novels and associated shorts are strongly recommended reading from me. Path of the Warrior Path of the Seer Path of the Outcast Path of the Renegade Path of the Incubus Masque of Vyle Path of the Archon Valedor Asurmen Jain Zar Seriously good reads, and a ton to get through. Is strongly recommend all of Peter Fehervari's back catalogue for some really unusual pieces. I quite enjoyed the turn that the Necrons got in the relatively recent "World Engine", though the best (creepiest) depiction still resides in the older "Dead Men Walking" novel. If you can get some of Andy Chambers' short stories, they cover a lot of neat bits too. "Deus Ex Mechanicus" is a particular favourite of mine.

Fehervari story is brilliant. Don't be a heretek :) Plus we are all battle brothers - xenos must die ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331834-xenos-books/#findComment-4876549 Share on other sites More sharing options...
