The new codex for the Grey Knights is out, and it tells the Terminus Decree. I read about this right before the License to Buy a Pizza thread, so all I could see was Orks. Apparently the decree says that if the Emperor stands up from his throne, is reincarnated, or ascends to godhood, the grey knights must stop this. There's hints that the emperor is already reborn against his will, and doesn't even know what or who he is yet. So a new story is building up.
I haven't found any news about it, only YouTubers and random reddit threads. This is coming at the same time that Space Marines are no longer male.
I guess I should mention this is WarHammer 40k stuff.
If the books weren't so melodramatic I'd read them. Lol. People have said good things about Eisenhorn though so I might take a crack at that sometime.
The Commissar Cain series is one I can recommend. More humor than normal for 40k, it feels like a mix of Horatio Hornblower and Blackadder.
Eisenhorn was good in the 00s, because it was the first well written novel that showed the Imperium outside of war. IMO they don't stand the test of time.
Commissar Cain novels are much better books and fun to read.
Also recently 'Assassinorum Kingmaker' and 'The Infinite and The Divine' are better.
i've read eisenhorn. I think dan abnet is overrated
Eugh. Eisenhorn was a slog for me to get through, despite being the one book people talk about as a good intro for 40K.
I enjoyed the Forge of Mars series alot more, personally.
