    Peak performance was Fire Warrior book based on computer game where the author didn’t filled it with unimportant crap but surprisingly followed the game and thus a lone fresh Fire Warrior beat the living shit out of everything Imperium thrown at him. Best xeno book ever.

    Inifinite and the Divine was also great, but included exodites being genocided too so at least two points minus for that.

    Ork and grot stuff can be fun too, especially Da Big Dakka was fun for many reasons including completely surprising genuine drukhari romance.

      Da Big Dakka was really fun. I also enjoyed the Infinite and the Divine. Which reminds me WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE AELDARI BOOKS ? Im not even the biggest Eldar fan but there has been nothing new in ages besides the whole Ynnari stuff which seemed just like a plot device to bring Guilliman back. I swear Tau got like 2 books in the last 2 years which is a fuckton of support by GW standards.

        I don’t even read a book when it mentions Eldar on the back cover, because while slightly less than exodites, they also always serve as a easily killed gore background (completely unlike the lore about them), and as general elf trope this horse is so dead and so beaten up it reminds me more of a fossil grounded up by steam hammer.

        About Ynnari i guess they will be retconned to a total failure at some point because we really cannot have any hope in Warhammer and especially not for the Aeldari.
