So I've picked up a great collection of Deathwatch books on clearance (see below).
I won't be playing the RPG (coz... reasons); but I love 40K's fluff and play it in an number of other forms; have half baked plans of tweaking 40K miniature rules into something decent (beyond the very tired IGOUGO); very much enjoy Shas'o R'myr's work on 1d4chan and look forward to diving into these books for some illumination, escapism and inspiration.
I would be very grateful for the community's advice on what order I should read them. Thoughts?
Deathwatch - Core Rulebook
Ark of Lost Souls
Honour The Chapter
Achilus Assault
Emperor Protects
The Emperor's Chosen
The Outer Reach
The Jericho Reach
