From now on, the Space Wolves put down a brutal siege on Prospero, which may sympathize with the Thousand Sons. The path to hell is paved with good intentions. Lorgar, as well as the Word Bearers, worship the Emperor as a god. Questioning their religion, they search out the true gods. In slides, Chaos and also the first heretics from the Warhammer 40k universe. If you happen to be interested in the world of heroes, go check out Most Powerful Marvel Character In The Marvel Universe before you carry on reading on.
Today Gaunt and his regiment travel from world to world battling conflicts, both political and physical. Abnett knows the way to flesh out the micro and the macro. The book is inspired by the Sharpe series and has a more human tone than many other Black Library books. But haha she Iron Warriors invaded and will they be stopped? Then, Noble captain, Gavriel Loken has misgivings about a few of those ways because of his brethren, and it is apparent the Horus has a personal stake in the reconquering of this moon of Davin.
And all this happens because dark forces grow up. Here is the sixth book from the Horus Heresy series. It appears to take a tiny break from the most compelling storyline or somewhat and wanders into some slightly different fantasy elements. The coming birth of the Imperium induces new issues to arrive, and also the sons of Caliban should decide for themselves when they are likely to combine the Lion at the great Crusade.
The Inquisition contributes to covert warfare, hoping to root out heresy and combating with the alien, the daemon, and the heretic. It must show the origin of chaos-inspired drugs disperse over the Imperium worlds.
This is the next book in the trilogy Vaults of Terra composed by Chris Wraight. The writer utilizes the primitive and ambiguous language which the readers will expect in this world. This book is one of the Imperial Guard series. Hieronymous Theta is a mining world, and its cities have been assembled around mining facilities. One afternoon, the miners found odd artifacts deep underground and upset Necrons. All these mutants, which occupy the lower degrees of this city, begin moving to high degrees.
Together to retake the entire world, they ruin the human inhabitants. The team and I have put together a starter pack for you. It covers a range of factions, from the puniest human to the most terrifying of traitor, and covers 10, years of Imperial history. To me, 40K has never been about the space marines. The layperson given a lasrifle and a helmet and sent into the meatgrinder with millions of others, creating a wall of mangled bodies between the people of the Imperium and all that would tear it down.
No author delivers this experience better than Dan Abnett. Based on the ancient Romans, they are plentiful, have a long list of successor chapters, and are generally considered by the greater 40K gaming community to be boring AF when compared to the other chapters eg. Enter Graham McNeill. Uriel Ventris is a brilliant character—a bit of a square peg in a round hole—and his story will really drive your understanding of the space marine chapters and the kind of bureaucratic nonsense that has helped stagnate the Imperium, where innovation once drove mortals to conquer the stars once more.
If Jack Bauer from the hit series 24 was made 20, years in the future, his name would be Gregor Eisenhorn. Full of action and intrigue, and delving into the dark political machinations of the Imperium, Eisenhorn is the perfect Warhammer 40k series if 24 , Jack Ryan , and maybe even a little Altered Carbon are more your jam than massed warfare pitting demigods against aliens.
A couple of caveats. Big events included the fall of Cadia, the troubled birth of Ynnead the aeldari god of the dead , and the miraculous resurrection of Roboute Guilliman, Primarch of the Ultramarines. Cadia Stands by Justin D. Read my review of The Carrion Throne. Once again the big picture is loosely there in the background, but this is more about the next steps in an ongoing mystery lurking beneath the surface of Terra. If you wanted to try and be as chronologically-correct as possible then you could read Dante before the Gathering Storm background books.
Narratively speaking, the book starts before the Rift opens and then covers the immediate aftermath on Baal. However, due to some complicated Warp-related time jiggery-pokery, from the perspective of Imperium Sanctus i. Terra, the Indomitus Crusade etc.
It also features a BIG battle which takes place roughly simultaneously with the tail end of Rise of the Primarch. It seems unlikely that Russ himself will turn up although you never know , but either way it should be interesting to see what happens — and like with The Gate of Bones it would seem that this is about broadening out the Indomitus Crusade arc rather than directly following on. Indomitus by Gav Thorpe This takes place within the first decade of the Indomitus Crusade, detailing a crucial conflict between the Ultramarines of Fleet Quintus and the Necrons.
So far, this provides the best viewpoint on the events relating to the Pariah Nexus. Last Chancers: This novel is an imperial guard novel that is about a penal legion and the main character Cage.
Covering chaos, the tau, and 'nids. Truly a good series. As several people have already recommended I think "Eisenhorn" is a fantastic Warhammer 40k book and is a pretty good place to start.
I also really enjoyed the Word Bearers series, which begins with "Dark Apostle", if you would like to dig into the corrupt world of Chaos Space Marines. Over on my blog I have actually made a list of suggestions for new readers, which you might want to check out: Suggestions for new 40k Readers.
I'd recommend getting onto the Warhammer 40k wikia site and researching a little bit into each faction the first few paragraphs in an entry are usually an overview of the article involved. You can do so by just searching a few of the major factions and reading part or all of the article that shows up. For instance, if you like humans, just search 'Imperium of man' and you will find an article that overviews the Human Empire and its internal factions as well as lists several of humanity's major enemies.
Inside of this article is a list of major alien factions. From there just read about whatever you find most interesting. People tend to find Space Marines most interesting, so I would recommend searching Space Marines as well, as most books are focused on Space Marines anyways. I can't say I've ever ready any Warhammer books, but from my experience, I always start reading books at the beginning of a series. For example: if the first book published in a series ends up being the third book because two prequels are published years later, I always start with the prequels.
I have only recently started to read Warhammer 40k. I have read the first two books in the Horus Heresy and although at first I didn't understand some things it then later clarifies.
By half way through Horus Rising the first one I had a pretty firm grasp on the Warhammer 40k world and found the books easy to understand and read.
As someone who enjoyed playing the computer games, but not played the tabletop yet, these are my recommendations based on how I followed it. You could then move on to discovering the other xenos aka Orks, Eldar etc. The books are a pretty easy read, but don't let that put anyone off as they are quite politically focused intertwined with some good narrative. However the downside, in the humblest of my opinions, is that I am starting to find the "Imperium of Man" is a bad organization. Especially with Horus being a Warmaster or have I read them wrong even before Heresy sets in.
Of course Loken and his comrades are still good guys :. Maybe a spoiler there sorry :. So go with Horus Heresy 1st books if you're like me and only dabbled in the periphery of W40k. I've fiddled about the edges of WH40K for years, then a buddy dumped a bunch of books on me, mostly in the middle of various series.
Neither is in any danger of winning a Hugo, let alone a Nebula, but both have the hang if the "ripping good yarn". One thing that sets them apart is that they have each modelled a series on an extant historical fiction, adapting it to the WH40K milieu.
Abnett has the Gaunt's Ghosts series, based on the "Sharpe's Now, I've read some Abnett, but none of Gaunt, yet. High 9n my list based on multiple recommendations, though. I can recommend Cain without reservation. Assuming one knows nothing about Warhammer 40', I'd start by reading the Factions part on the Warhammer entry in Wikipedia.
That already gives a very broad oversighht of the different factions and the reader then knows at least something about the setting. After that, you can continue by watching Lore Videos on Youtube. I'd recommend Luetin , his lore videos are very respected. He also has a Beginners Guide to Warhammer 40' playlist that gives one a good oversight of the different factions, the history of the universe and so on.
While watching the Luetin videos, you can start reading books. I would not recommend at all to start with the Horus Heresy , I'd even recommend not to do it. Although it tells the story of the Horus Heresy in great details, at that point, it is way too long for a new reader 54 books and after that, there are more books for the siege of the Imperial Palace.
I'd recommend not to read the Path of the Dark Eldar too early.
