Nobody liked the Konrad saga as well.

Just found the Konrad compendium, gotta read it, but after a few other books.
I like the older books from the BL. Infact, I like all the older GW stuff, it had a different feel. It was more about fun and creativity than just violence and bloodshed, IMO.

Not to mention alot of s-e-x in the old books.
Ooh, I'm 21 as well, marking us both out as adults! (Though I have been an adult since the age of 18 )

Old novels are pretty much the pioneers of the hobby. Just read the foreword by Ian Watson in the Inquisition Wars.
Many of the first releases of 40k reading range were the antalogy novels, which were compiled with all those short stories. SOme of which would make people scratch their heads as not everything fits in with current day fluff.
Though bonus pretzels to Ian Watson for inventing the BONE'ead Ogryns! Or at the very least making a mention of them in those days gone by.

Has anyone other than myself read any of the "Ciaphas Cain" novels by Sandy Mitchell? The newest one recently came out and I have to tell you - it's just as good as the previous ones; plenty of Imperial Guard hijinks and Commissarial cowardice.If you haven't ready any of 'em, and enjoy 40k fiction, I seriously suggest doing so.
The first, "For the Emperor" details Cain's near save of a backwater planet named Gravalax: just barely keeping it out of the soft clutches of the Tau Empire. The Second is "Caves of Ice" and is basically Ciaphas trying to batten down the hatches and defend an Imperial prometium mine from being completely destroyed by a gargant and no less than the 100 bazillion Orks who build/pilot/live inside it. The third was just released, "The Traitor's Hand" - Cain investigates a Slaaneshi cult on a peculiar planet, only to discover that Khorne wants Slaanesh to stop whatever he's up too; forcing our hero and his unit of Valhallans to try and survive an all out brawl between Khornate Berzerkers and Slaaneshi Eroticultists. Gooooood readin'.
