Any Good WH40K Novels With Catachans?

Post by Aaron »

I picked up the new Imperial Guard Omnibus: Volume One which contains Death World. So I'm wondering if there are any other good novels with Catachans as main characters or even recurring secondary characters. The Black Library official site has been restructured and is now less than helpful and I know this board has a tonne of Warhammer fans.

I don't think there are any other novels starring Catachans, although Catachans are briefly seen in one of the Ciaphas Cain novels. You might like some of the characters in the Last Chancers series, too, even if they are not Catachans.

There is one short stories in Let the Galaxy Burn which feature's Catachans and one other Armageddon Ork Hunters, which is probably the closest you'll get.

Thank you. I'll be keeping my eye out for that one.

Well I have both of those, in fact The Last Chancers is my favorite series in WH40K. What's not to love about a penal legion?
