The book series Eisenhorn by Dan Abnett is fantastic for those into military sci fi.
This is just one single thing a guy can only produce so much well. This isn’t a massive team.
For the Emperor!
I like Warhammer 40K very much, but this is not good. Avengers have more character arcs then this.
Great book trilogy here. Good enough to have been lent around among my wife’s friends (to my utter shock and surprise) who aren’t at all into fantasy or sci-fi. That’s saying a LOT trust me.

EDIT: to be more clear, lent around among her woman friends
The Astartes series is indeed awesome. The only downside is that the “episodes” are just way too short.
BTW, someone is producing a 40K TV show based on Eisenhorn. A pretty good choice, IMO. I don’t have high hopes for television shows these days, but that I will be checking out for sure.
Astartes is Amazing. Been waiting for number 5 for a bit. They take a long time but are perfect.
Really all I need for fanfiction is for Star Trek Discovery to warp In to the Warhammer 40k universe.
Suffer not the Xenos to live.
(For the uninitiated: in Warhammer 40k things are bad but all the alternatives are very very bad)
There was an earlier Warhammer 40K fan film called “The Lord Inquisitor”, but last I heard, that one is dead in the water. Hopefully, this one will succeed.
