Whilst laid low with a heavy cold/(man)flu these last five days, I took the time to finish off a (average) novel about Alexander the Great and then make a start on a large stack of Warhammer 40k novels that my brother-in-law has kindly lent me. The first one I selected was 'The Founding' by Dan Abnett, which is all about a unit called 'Gaunt's Ghosts'. If you like sci-fi combat novels I can't recommend this enough. Great characters, tremendous vision and attention to detail and good stories make this a real "don't want to put the book down even though its 1:30 in the morning" experience. I'm only half way through the book but can't wait to see what happens next, and then get stuck into the two follow on books, 'The Saint', and 'The Lost'

Wait till you get "Necropolis". I don't like WH40K much (or any Games Workshop products other than WH Ancient Battles; I absolutely detest the company), but "Necropolis" rocks...

I have some of the figures, and have played the game twice. I'm not a fan of the rules, but the 'fluff' surrouding 40k is drawing me in at the moment ! LOL
I've played lots of Ancient battles. What's your favouite supplement ? Myself I really like 'Age of Arthur'.
Try the Ciaphus Cain series, a Flashman style Commisar with a Baldrick style batman, very good books...

I have a couple of the Caim series waiting to be read :) Looking forward to getting stuck into them.
