billymags Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Hello all, I am somewhat new to 40k, have about 1500 points of Marines painted and having a good time with it :) I am looking to get into the background stories a bit more. Just wondering what to pick up first from the Black Library. I would like to start at the Horus Heresy but I don't have to. Just looking for some suggestions to get me stated. THANKS!

Firepower Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Well, do you have a specific chapter that you like or want to know more about? That can narrow down the choices. But to just name my top 5- the Soul Hunter trilogy, First Heretic and Betrayer by A D-B are a joy, Prospero Burns by Dan Abnett was quite good, and Fear To Tread by James Swallow was pretty entertaining, too. The Horus Heresy series has been quite good, though I haven't read the whole collection by a wide margin. I can't recall reading any that were bad, but some are definitely better than others. On a different note, I always enjoy seeing other peoples' work, so if you fancy it do please throw some pics of your first army up in the WIP or Hall of Honor subforums :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
