    there are all of 11 full sisters novels

    I had read one and a lot of cameo mentions in other books and there wasn’t anything even remotely sexual mentioned, every single sister seemed just incredibly psychologically repressed to the maximum on many levels and areas, so they frequently snapped and were reduced to the absolutely gross state of Repentia which seems to be closer to open Khorne worship than anything else.

    Also i’ve yet to seen any appearance of SoB that won’t end with them being massacred either entirely or nearly entirely, even worse than guard penal legions.

      I read a Sisters novel called the Rose in Darkness which I liked. Even if Sisters “just” got 11 novels that is much more than some of the xenos factions got :^)

        Yeah, like every single appearance of exodites i encounter anywhere is solely for the sake of genociding them. And there is afaik no tyranid PoV book because it would entirely break tyranid lore lol.

          Mind you GW has gotten better about Xeno books in like the last 10 years or so. Like we do have a number of T´au books from there perspective and there are even 3 Necron books ffrom their POV that are all solid. So some progress is being made. Even if the overwhelming amount of output is still focused on the Imperium of Man

            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.
