Yeah, most 40k fans would crucify you for saying Abnett is average. Honestly though I personally find him hit or miss. Not bad but not always on if that makes sense. Like Double Eagle was one of my favorite books that wasn't written by Chris Wraight but I went through Titanicus which, to be fair he got the giant stompy robot bits right which is the part people will probably buy the book for but the rest wasn't very engaging, and the ending was kind of bad. Although I'm not a guardsmen fan and to be double fair the first book of the Founding came out in 1999 and like I said I'm not really into the guard and jumping into a 20 year long series didn't seem like my jam. Although on the other hand Bothers of the Snake was another omnibus that had some excellent parts but other parts I can't even remember so that's a bit of a warning sign, I guess. But there is also the problem that some books are well, just flat out bad. I tend to listen to them one audio and I have way more than I like to admit but some of those make Matt Ward look like a genius. Which I shouldn't harp on the man too much but he's the creator of dumb 40k memes for a reason.
@@IfYoureFeelingAdventurous It's more in the Codex rule books for the table top game. They have a bunch of fluff pieces in them so you can get a feel for the lore for whatever factions where in the book and his lore for the Ultramarines was so bad it ruined Ultramarines for a good, wow, like 14 years. They just are getting back to being respected.
