Dexo Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Hi Ever sins I started in the hobby I have heard about The Horus Heresy, and the last year i have been looking at the forum and even more quotes frem the books has came to my attention. I think therefore it i about time i get the "hole picture" and I considering to start buy the books, i need to admit im not a big reader of book in general so a little uncertain about spendig the money on books i maybe never are gone to read, get me right i have no probleme readig big book, but my "fiction" has op to know always been in the form of movies. This bring me to my questions. How do i start (which book is the first?) Can I buy a set with all the books in ? Is The Horus Heresy Series to big a mouthfull for somebody like me ? What do you think ? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235762-the-horus-heresy-how-to-get-statet-on-the-books/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Shady Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 There is no set, yet. I think we'll see one once ALL books have been published, til then you gotta buy them seperate fella. Read them in order otherwise you'll get lost easily. First book is 'Horus Rising'.

Mabrothrax Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 They do cost a bit more but the (abridged) audio books might be ideal. Check out the Black Library website.

Valtonis Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 just read them in the order they were published, they jump around the timeline alot but it is ok http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horus_Heresy_%28novels%29 although Promethean Sun should be at 17 just following Age of Darkness Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235762-the-horus-heresy-how-to-get-statet-on-the-books/#findComment-2840152 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Taylor Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 How do i start (which book is the first?) Get a copy of Horus Rising, and if you like continue :( Can I buy a set with all the books in ? Not at this moment in time. Maybe when the series has finished but that's a few years away. Is The Horus Heresy Series to big a mouthfull for somebody like me ? If you like 40K then chances are you will enjoy it.

Codicier Lucion Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 The collected visions book might be a good option for you, it's expensive and doesn't give the full details but it has some great illustrations and covers every major event of the heresy.

CptCortez Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I would say the 1st book to read would be Descent of Angels. As this is set WAY before Erebus starts 'knocking' on Horus' door and the big E buggering off to Terra in Horus Rising.

As this is set WAY before Erebus starts 'knocking' on Horus' door and the big E buggering off to Terra in Horus Rising. but that would seriously turn off someone from the entire series if he thought that the entire series was like Descent of Angels Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235762-the-horus-heresy-how-to-get-statet-on-the-books/#findComment-2843187 Share on other sites More sharing options...
