Getting into the fluff

Subject: Getting into the fluff Fri Feb 17 2017, 12:35

Hi all,

I'm pretty new to the Dark Eldar and I'm looking to consume as much fluff as I possibly can. I've got the Dark Eldar codex and the Andy Chambers novels (which I haven't read yet - my bad!), but I'd like to get my hands on more.

Please can you recommend some books / websites to help me with my new addiction?

Thanks!

Let the Galaxy Burn. It's a short story compilation edited by Marc Gascoigne and Christian Dunn. It's a huge collection with an insanely diverse range of topics and authors. It's a great sampler platter to help you figure out which armies or subfactions you like, or don't like, and which authors interest you.

Also, please note that there's a Horus Heresy novel by the same name; that's not the one I mean.

Don't forget to check out the previous edition codexes, especially for background on special characters that aren't in the current codex. Pretty easy to pick up cheaply on ebay.

Other books from the black library to check out:

Tantalus
Treasures of Biel-Tanigh
Midnight on the Street of Knives
Bellathonis and the Shadow King
Valedor
The Macharian Crusade (book 2)

Do you mean for 40k in general or just the Dark Eldar? Because if it's the former please consider the following:

Also the Haemonculus covens book and the new Gathering Storm part 2 book both have cool lore and stuff on the Dark Kin

Don't forget Mistress Baeda's Gift!!!! My favorite Dark Eldar short from Black Library.

The masque of vyle is also good. It is about a harlequin troupe that really messes up a kabal.
