Warhammer Crime Reading Order

Chris Wraight

A Warhammer Crime entry point built around local investigation rather than galaxy-scale war, useful for readers who want everyday Imperial rot and noir pacing.

Guy Haley

A Warhammer Crime novel with industrial and institutional pressure at the foreground, good for readers who want a grounded city-level Imperium story.

Marc Collins

A Warhammer Crime novel set in the sprawling, decaying hive-city of Varangantua, following a probator (Imperial detective) drawn into a grisly investigation where a string of killings hints at something far worse festering beneath the city's underclass. It is a noir-flavoured mystery that uses the 41st millennium as a backdrop for grounded, street-level horror and corruption rather than battlefield action.

Alec Worley

A fast-paced Warhammer Crime caper featuring the unlikely duo of a sharp-tongued ratling and a hulking ogryn as they chase a legendary artefact while dodging the bounty hunters on their trail. Lighter and more comedic in tone than most 40k fiction, it blends heist hijinks with the grimy underworld of Varangantua, though darkness still lurks beneath the humour.

Jonathan D. Beer

A Warhammer Crime novel set in a derelict industrial district of Varangantua where the death of a feared gang boss threatens to ignite a brutal turf war. An info-broker is pulled into untangling the murder and the deeper conspiracy behind it, in a gritty story of organised crime, power, and survival in the lower depths of an Imperial hive-city.
