    Recommended Fantasy books??

    I apologize if there is a subforum for this topic, I didn't see it.

    I've read loads of 40k fiction from the Black Library but never any WH titles.


    Recommendations or must reads???

    There are two books in the 'Ulrika the Vampire' series thusfar - Bloodborn and Bloodforged.
    These are FANTASTIC reads. The first one is pure Vampire Counts at its best, the second has wonderful description of Praag and the chaos forces that assault it.
    I love these books. They're some of the best vampiric fiction to come out in the modern nights.

    +1 for Ulrika.

    You should also take a look at "Broken Honor." Fantasy's 'Last Chancers' ftw!

    GW does not hate non-Space Marine armies. They just don't give a FAQ.

    How the Old World should be, and it has everything.

    Death and Dishonor was a fun anthology too.

    I think it will all depend on what race you follow or have armies for.

    I have read a large range of GW books, and to be honest 99% of the are great

    Actually, if you read Bloodforged, Snorri says he doesn't know WHAT happened to them. They vanished somewhere before ever making it to Praag. >.>
