Jo /tg/!
To get to the point: What are some good 40k books? I am especially interested in anything Imperial Guard. I have already read Operation Thunderstorm, and I would prefer Paperback, since reading on a monitor strains my eyes too much.
For anyone asking: Operation Thuderstorm is meh. It get's the message across and has some relatively good fights, but nothing too poetic or dramatic. The story is rather good at the beginning but especially the ending is shit.
The beginning is great and every battle feels awesome and powerful.
Yet towards the end the battles become more and more generic and the last few pages are just too cheesy. It literally is a happy, and not even a hint of grim, ending. This is 40k! Make it at least a little grim, or gritty, and not all happy roses and sunshine. Is that too much to ask?
The characters are kinda bland, you have your generic evil guys, your generic good guys, your generic secretive guys, your generic backstabbers, your generic generic generic...
Some of the characters don't really work. At one point the commander of the entire operation tells his generals that he can never have a family, "even-though I tried, but my semen is as thin as water" at the fucking dinner table. He wasn't even drunk. He is a rank min-maxer and he tells all his generals that his balls are screwed, AT THE DINNER TABLE!!!
It really did have potential, but after a certain point the quality drops.
If you don't care about being let down towards the end, get it. If you do, don't. It starts off great and ends as total average predictable stuff.
I read that translated version (big mistake) and ignored the terrible writing. I hope that was all due to a shitty contractor, who may have had a clue about 40k, but not so much about not reusing the same word 3 times in a sentence. Frak, frak, frak, frak, frak, Harken. Harken, Harken, Harken...you get the idea.
