So by recommendation from here I finally got around to reading a bunch of the black library novels. More good stuff then I expected, especially the one involving the titan legions (Titanicus). But while I enjoyed them they did kinda dig up that feeling of boredom that I was starting to feel towards the Imperium.
So I ask/plead of you Veeky Forums, what are some worthwhile books in the selection that revolve around non-Imperium races/factions? Bonus points if it's Chaos-centric. I'll also take stuff covering the more unusual or underused elements of the Imperium, like the Adepta Sororitas or the Officio Assassinorum or Ogryn characters. Pretty much anything that isn't more marines/guard stories.

siege of castellax was pretty decent and it focused on the iron warriors vs the orks

One of the Horus heresy novels "Nemesis" was actually all about how the Officio assassinorum was formed and a group of assassins trying to kill Horus early on. "The Last Chancer" novels while about guardsmen are more like the dirty dozen. "storm of iron" is centered 90% on the iron warriors taking a fort built by perturbo, The "Eisenhorn" novels read like some good cloak and dagger. "Dark apostle", the "Night lords" trilogy and one I can't recall about the Blood gorgons are all very chaos-centric.

Word bearers omnibus A brooding faggit named Marduk, he gets pretty edgy but it tends to tame itself

Are you me?
I've heard horrible things about Sororitas novels. Avoid.

This Word Bearers Omnibus made me empathize with them a lot more about how it sucks to be a CSM that actually maintains most of the order of the Legions.

I assume you know about the pnp game? Dark Crusade, made by the same company behind Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader.
Dunno about the novels.

OP read "Storm of Iron" it is hands down one of if not the single greatest 40k story ever published.
