Reddit reviews The Soul Drinkers Omnibus (Warhammer 40,000 Novels)

Check Amazon first and look at the Omnibus editions of some of the pre-Horus Heresy books. They're a better bang for the buck in my opinion and it's really great to get deep into the 40k stuff before you start the HH to see how far they backslid from the ideas of The Great Crusade.

Soul Drinkers (those poor, dumb bastards)

Word Bearers (hella grimdark)

Iron Warriors

Space Wolves

Etc.

I started with Ben Counter's Soul Drinkers omnibus and I was frickin' hooked!

Soul Drinkers Omnibus

Here is the book.

They may not have a homeworld, but that doesn't have to mean they don't have a mythos attached to them. I actually liked the concept of the inquisition skull with the third eye, maybe you can go with that. Are they a type of 'seer' chapter, on the edges of imperial jurisdiction, that other chapters come to when they are need information too dangerous to acquire through normal methods? You could weave a story where the scions have been involved in the background of many different conflicts while the main chapters were in the spotlight.

Thanks for the input guys. One thing to clarify, was it reissued? I see on Amazon this one from 2006

And this one from 2013

If so, were there any major changes?
