stokecity_m Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I've had a quick look but haven't found what i was looking for. I'd like to know the order in which it's best to read any/all the books about the Horus Heresy. Cheers B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khestra the Unbeheld Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 That depends. If you want to start from earliest time of publication, start with Horus Rising. If you want it in actual chronological order of events it's going to be much more difficult because the books jump forward and backward in time.

Raven Angel Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I think that order of publication is probably best. The timeline is really convoluted and I couldn't begin to reorder them . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artein Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 01. Horus Rising 02. False Gods 03. Galaxy in Flames 04. The Flight of the Eisenstein 05. Fulgrim 06. Descent of Angels 07. Legion 08. Battle for the Abyss 09. Mechanicum 10. Tales of the Heresy 11. Fallen Angels 12. A Thousand Sons 13. Nemesis 14. The First Heretic 15. Prospero Burns 16. Age of Darkness 17. The Outcast Dead 18. Deliverance Lost 19. Know No Fear 20. The Primarchs 21. Fear to Tread 22. Shadows of Treachery 23. Angel Exterminatus 24. Betrayer (not out yet) Audio dramas, short stories and limited edition novellas (most are not necessary at all but some are really worth reading/listening): The Dark King and The Lightning Tower - at some point after The Flight of the Eisenstein (was reprinted in Shadows of Treachery) (worth it) Raven's Flight - after Fulgrim and before Age of Darkness (was reprinted in Shadows of Treachery) Garro: Oath of Moment - after The Flight of the Eisenstein Garro: Legion of One - after Garro: Oath of Moment Gray Angel and Burden of Duty - after Garro: Legion of One Garro: Sword of Truth - no idea, haven't listened to it yet Butcher's Nails - after Aurelian, before Betrayer (worth it) Aurelian - after The First Heretic, before Butcher's Nails (worth it) Promethean Sun - haven't read it yet, probably doesn't matter Brotherhood of the Storm - haven't read it yet, probably doesn't matter Kryptos - before Angel Exterminatus No idea about Distant Echoes of Old Night, Lost Sons and The Divine Word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex567 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I'd recommend reading fallen angels strait after descent of angels, follows the same characters so is easier to understand what they're talking about if you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apothecary Vaddon Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 IIRC The Last Church (somebody on 1d4chan posted the entire thing up there) is the earliest piece of fluff in terms of the entire in-universe continuity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
