This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

My obsession with 40k continues, may the God Emperor watch over me.

This is pretty cool.

I'm also reading Soul HUnter by Aaron Dembski Bowden which is a very good Black Library book. I've never read him before and this started off well.

On the other hand I did try Gav Thorpe's Path of the Warrior which, even taking into account all the fluffy Eldar perfidy, was shite. Didn't work for me at all.

gav thorpe tries to be a good writer but always trips over the fact he started out as a GW developer and white dwarf writer before turning his hand to novels , his fiction stays abit to close to whatever the current status quo is for the setting he's writing a novel for and you can almost picture him searching codex's and army books for rules validation so he doesnt make a statement about something and get told off for being wrong.

I gave him the benefit of the doubt for a bout 100 pages under the assumption that it the issue was the nature of Eldar society. But it's just a poor book. Angry artisan gets spurned and then decided to become a soldier!

Every book he's written is utter crap and next to impossible to finish so im not surprised you gave up on it after 100 pages, his dark elf books are far worse! the guy has no clue how to write an interesting story that doesnt take frickin years to get to the point or that isnt fanwank for the latest army.

Given that it's 40k it would be churlish to expect it to be Tolstoy, but it really did read as the stereotypical teenage nerd fanfic.
