Why is this considered a good book trilogy?

Because it has Warhammer on the cover and 40kids willingly pass up much better dark fantasy in favor of ip slop.

I DL'd the Eisenhorn omnibus the other day based on a rec in /sffg/. I don't know shit about Warhammer. What am I in for, bros? I haven't started reading yet.

It's one of the better series BL has put out but don't expect high literature. Go into it as it was meant to be experienced, low effort fun, and you'll have a good time with it I think.
People shit on BL in general because it isn't Citizen Kane but if you like 40k just enjoy it for what it is. They're fun books.

That's good enough for me!

Because it's genuinely a good trilogy, one that is focused primarily on its characters over bolter porn or complex plots. If it wasn't Warhammer, it would be far more praised.

Name one not Horus Heresy or Ynnari

This is the best 40k trilogy.

Nobody would give a shit about this 6/10 ya novel if it wasn't Warhammer. The characters aren't interesting, they feel like people from our world plucked into the future. I don't believe for a second soul hunter is 300 years old.

It's at least as good as the best of Sanderson and Martin.

Disappointment when you realize that the setting is only cool on the surface

There are thousands of inhabited planets in the galaxy - but every world is a hive-world or agri-world or some other copypasted temu-world

The brave Space Marines and Imperial Guard must face down a myriad of dangerous foes - well really just orks, tyranids and chaos over and over again because we can't have them fight bad guys we don't have models for

No two Space Marine chapters are the same - well they wear the same armor and have the same units but some chapters like bikes and others like flamethrowers!

Chaos is a scary force that slowly corrupts the greatest heroes - if you so much as pick up a cursed sword or book your soul is damned forever

Warhammer has the deepest lore of any sci-fi setting - just pay no attention to the huge amount of plagiarism just behind the curtain!

Who tf mentioned Sanderson or Martin

Warhammer books aren't even half as good as the comics they ripped off but they make 10x as much money.

>>25286015
>Who tf mentioned Sanderson or Martin
me. I'm saying it's better than the best works published by the 2 most popular living fantasy authors of our time
>>
>>25286031
I haven't read anything by either of those authors except for sandkings so idk how true that is but popular doesn't equal good and what I read of soul hunter was extremely mediocre.
>>
>>25284291
henry zou bastion wars is the best 40k literature
