They just made Space Marine 2. Great campaign and the most immersive Warhammer 40k game yet imo. As far as the look and feel of the world they really didn’t miss once. 40k is an old IP with A LOT of details and to just consistently nail those details is really a Herculean feat.

The gameplay loop isn’t exactly my cup of tea but it isn’t bad.

I don’t know who else I would pick to do this project tbh.

Didn’t see what community I was in when I read the post and thought there were just a lot of people here who hate stand up comedians doing crowd work

Another vote for Horus Rising. They’re also in audiobook format. Just keep in mind the Horus Heresy time period is 10k years before current 40k so it’s kinda WH 30k and there is not a lot of xenos/alien content in there.

Almost anything by Dan Abnett is gold. I would put Chris Wraight in a very close second place and Aaron Dempski Bowden (ADB) in a close third. There are other good authors too John French and Graham McNeil.

Good standalone stories set in current 40k are also Armageddon, Dante, Blades of Damocles, And Lords of Silence (Chaos Space Marines)

Gaunt’s Ghosts is a great series about the Imperial Guard/Astra Militarum

Eisenhorn is a good Inquisitor series written like James Bond books.

Ciaphas Cain is for some lighthearted fun in a grimdark universe
