Hope this helps some! Be happy to discuss it more. Get Started with Age of Sigmar Age Of Sigmar Novels Vk A Warhammer Age of. Not sure there’s any Heresy books that necessarily compare, but I’ve heard very good things about First Heretic and Betrayer as far as traitor Legion books go. The Horus Heresy, sometimes referred to poetically as the Age of Darkness. I’ve read them in parallel with the Heresy books for something a little different and loved them (The first two, haven’t got the third) They make a crucifying, flaying, murderous bastard into a likable character. If you want a 40K book that makes you like the bad guys, highly recommend the Night Lords trilogy. I don’t think it’s exactly required reading but I enjoyed it well enough. It has some conflict with Ferrus Manus, if you’re curious or into that. Fulgrim is basically a “descent into chaos” story starring the emperor’s children. Legion because it introduces a perpetual who’s a pretty fascinating character, and delves into the cabal/seems to set up the entire motivation for the Alpha Legion going forward. A powerful Emperor initiated a Great Crusade that united the various human colonies and waged war against all other alien life. A long time ago, mankind was scattered throughout space.

I would recommend reading Legion and Fulgrim. The first book in the Horus Heresy series takes readers to the height of the Imperium of Man. Might be my favorite of the books so far. Must read for both story importance and quality. I enjoyed battle for the abyss, but all it really seems to do is provide some characterization for the word bearers and thousand sons/world eaters pre-Heresy. Personally, I found descent of angels and battle for the abyss to be completely skippable. You’ll get a lot of different information and somebody above summarized it well when they said it’s an interconnected web, much like history. More to follow presumably.Ĭurrently reading them myself, so far I’ve stuck entirely to the order and I’m on “tales of heresy” if only because I can’t find Mechanicum at any used book stores. but what else? Or what here isnt needed? Legion First Heretic (Maybe?) Vengeful Spirit Master of Mankind.

Where do I read more about the Istvan V drop site Massacre? Are there any books so good or so full of important plot info and lore that I should read them anyway despite them not being in the main plot line? Are any of the short stories in the anthologies required reading? Are any of the novels so compelling that they will make me want to play a SM Chapter or a Chaos Marine Legion in the tabletop game?īased upon a little reading of plot summaries and other reviews it seems I should read the below list. So the overall question is this : What else should I read, and in what order? A few follow up questions follow, but that is the main one. The flowchart is unclear which story arc is really next in line for Horus and the Emperor, or what is really required reading for that story arc. I browsed the Black library site and it just lists plot summaries in book number order, which seems like it tries to incorporate all the books and isnt what I want. Or any that have especially important bits of lore that cant wait or will make the central plot make more sense.īUT, Im at a bit of a loss as to what to read next. So, any novels that follow Horus or the Emperor are what Im looking for. Essentially Id like to read the primary story arc first, then come back and get the details of how the players came to where they interact with the main story later. Id like to focus on the main storyline - I feel I can skip the secondary story lines (Imperium Secundus, Stories about only one or two legions, or the mechanicum series).
Ive read Horus Rising, False Gods, and Galaxy in Flames. Warning: gzuncompress(): data error in /nfs/c05/h04/mnt/69411/domains//html/wp-includes/plugin.Id like to read a few more of the Horus Heresy novels, and specifically dont want to read them all before getting through the central plot of the Heresy.
