Anyone fancy helping me work out what 40K books I don't own?

So, a couple of years ago I got evicted from my flat and all my stuff went into storage, and I had to crash at a mates for a while. On top of that, money wasn't exactly flowing to me in great quantities. These factors meant I missed/elected not to buy a whole bunch of 40K novels, not to mention that there's stuff I know I missed because I wasn't fussed about getting it in hardback and then didn't notice the paperback release.

However! I now have all my stuff out of storage finally, and am looking to fill the gaps in the collection, which is where this thread comes in. I've just spent the last couple of hours photographing my collection shelf by shelf, I was hoping you fine folks could give them a look and let me know if you spot anything that's missing.

I apologise for the erratic organisation, if I'd gotten bogged down in trying to make sure certain things were together I wouldn't have gotten anywhere.

Some general rules for how my collection works:

Horus Heresy novels are all small paperback, gold printing. The occasional hardback in these pics is either on extended loan or a must-read (Master of Mankind, I got sick of spoiler dodging).

Primarchs novellas are all the normal release rather than the special edition.

If I own the series, I don't buy the omnibus unless it's got some super special stuff in it.

I refuse to track down another copy of Iron Hand, it's terrible and the only 40K book I've ever charity shopped.

My sincere thanks to anyone who helps with this, if I try and solo it using the BL website I'm bound to miss stuff, especially if it's OOP.

This post is for logging missing stuff and when I finally get a copy I'll put the pic is here.

 

Sons of Dorn - Chris Roberson

Into the Maelstrom - Various

Deathwing - Various

Pawns of Chaos - Brian Craig

Were that I had the time to do all that cross-referencing.

 

These charts may be useful if you haven't seen them already:

They aren't quite complete, but any missing will feature prominently on the site due to their age. Best of luck!

Offhand, I didn't see/register:

1- any Necromunda books by various

2- Shira Calpurnia books (Crossfire/Legacy/Blind, gathered in the Enforcer Omnibus) by Matt Farrer

3- Execution Hour & Shadowpoint by Gordon Rennie.

 

Incidentally, I'd massively recommend all of these. They're ace. Some of the very best of 40k, and with almost 0 Space Marines or Primarchs or Guard Commissars!

 

I spotted Relentless, but didn't catch Williams' "Imperial Glory" either. Also massively recommended.

 

(I'd go out on a snobby limb and say that if you haven't got the above, you might as well not have a 40k collection. :P)

I had seen those charts Roomsky, in the mists of time. I'd totally forgotten they existed though, so thanks for the heads up!

 

I bounced off Shira Calpurnia hard the first time I read it so I gave it away, but good spot, I'll track it down again. Man, those Gordon Rennie ones are gonna be a pain to find.

 

I should point out I'm not expecting anyone to do an exhaustive cross reference for me. The whole point of putting it up here is if everyone tells me a couple of books they didn't notice, that's a lot less brainpower involved for everyone.

 

On that note, anyone know what the latest HH small paperback is? I'm convinced I've missed a couple of those.

Again, its a bit outdated :wink:

Here is the last one I found: https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4863/46000296611_9b5235e658_o.jpg

Did Pictor Jack do this one? I can't find it on his Twitter, and it's not at the same resolution.
