So after getting my fill of the latest Eragon novel and after the disappointing cancelation of several new RLoft novels, I wanted something new to read. Luckily, I found the Warhammer "Vampire Wars" omnibus book, and now I'm hooked on the series. Has anyone else read the Warhammer Old World books? I haven't tried the 40,000 series yet, but it looks interesting as well. Anyone like/dislike these books? Any thoughts on the Von Carstein trilogy?

I onyl ever read soem of the first ones they brought out but as I recall they were pretty good. I'd reccommend if you can get them:

Drachenfels
Beasts in Velvet

They were written by a guy called Jack Yeovil was IRIC is a pen name for another guy called Kim Newman who also wrote some interestign takes on Dracula.

also:

Zaragoz

By a guy called Brian Craig was pretty good too.

Thanks for the info, those sound interesting, I'll check them out.

Right now I'm reading the Ambassador Chronicles by Graham McNeill.

Just remembered GW reissued both Drachenfels and Beast of Velvet (and some others) in an omnibus called Genevieve Undead, whihc is still in print.
