Halfway through the Gaunt's Ghosts Omnibus and it's good stuff. Im enjoying the grittiness and plight that these soldiers undertake, underscored by the fact that they are the last people of a destroyed planet, making every death a near tragedy.
That being said, is there more of this kind of stuff to be found in Warhammer lore? I'm open to reading about the space Marines and other perspectives from the much more powerful aspects of this universe, but there is just something to being immersed in the stories of these fragile beings caught up in this nightmare. Hell, even civilian stories would probably be fascinating.
Definitely Caiphas Cain. I actually prefer them to the Gaunt books.
Obviously the Eisenhorn/Ravenor novels as well. They're Inquisition books, but everybody is human (more or less) with accompanying frailties and weaknesses.
The Shira Calpurnia books aren't bad either, if you want a bit of detective action.
Bloodlines by Chris Wraight is absolutely excellent if you want a book about being human in a hive city.
To be honest, anything in the Warhammer Crime or Horror series might suit you.
