The Red Thirst Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Ian Watson's 'Space Marine' bought at a garage sale for $5 dollars, instantly hooked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Space Marine was my first 40k novel. Not sure if it counts, since there was no such thing as BL at that time.I'm definitely willing to accept it. Still counts as being part of Games Workshop. Another who first read Space Marine (along with Drachenfels) My first Black Library release was the first Space Wolf trilogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Knight Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Inquisitor by Ian Watson, Beasts in Velvet by Jack Yeovil. I'm so old Aye, but in 40k old is always better :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I can't remember, honestly. Maybe Caiaphas Cain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Tezdal Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 First thing I read from BL was probably the Inferno magazine, first novels can't really remember was either "Pawns of Chaos" novel or else "Angels of Darkness" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyaenidae Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I actually bought two at the same time, Storm of Iron and Necropolis. Guess who is a Sabbat Crusade and Iron Warrior fan. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.G.J. Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Deathwing the David Pringle edition. I'm not sure that really counts, though, because at that time I happily consumed virtually anything GW put out there so can't say it made me keep wanting to read WH40k novels. I would have read a story on a milk carton. I took a hiatus for almost a decade and then read Angels of Death and Ian Watson's Inquisitor series in 2003. It's been a steady stream of novels ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perrin Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I think either Ciaphas Cain or Nightbringer from the Ultramarines series. Didn't really know much about 40k at all when I read those, fun times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Eremon Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Horus Rising actually. Though I had been scouring lexicanum and playing DoW:DC for months prior. Are you me? Because that's me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJB Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Space Marine, way back in 1993 when it first came out, when there was a choice of about 6 novels (5 of which were Fantasy) in a GW store God damn I'm getting old... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judassem Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 The Grey Knights Omnibus, three years ago. Since then I've probably read more than 100 novels/novellas/short stories/audiodramas by Black Library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerraZero20 Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 I've just thought about one of my oldest book. Tails of the Ten Tailed Cat, a graphic novel collection of short stories. There was also a 40K version at my school library but I can't remember the title. Definitely pre-dates Chapter War and Witch Hunter (only by a year).

Operative Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 "A thousand Sons", that was about 5/6 years ago and is still one of my BL novels to date. However I did know a lot about the heresy before reading it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_son_of_Dorn Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 First novel horus rising, loved how the titan pilot mentioned in it was hungover when merging with his titan, meaning the first titan i ever read about in anything other than fluff was technically hung over too.
