Kelborn Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Hey there, right now I'm interested in the Word Bearers. Problem is that there are so many HH books, etc. I don't know which to choose, especially concerning Calth. So could you help me by saying which HH novel depicts them most? I know that there is also a Omnibus which shall be good but I'm more interested in the HH era. The Omnibus would be my plan b.

BladeBreaker Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 The First Heretic, Aurelian, and Betrayer are the books you are looking for, all about the sons of Lorgar Forgot to mention they are also some of the best books published by BL imo Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314393-word-bearer-novel/#findComment-4186159 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFeeder Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Know No Fear and Mark of Calth both contain content regarding the Battle of Calth. Though it's worth noting that the former is set from the perspective of the Ultramarines and the latter is a series of short stories from both sides.

Kelborn Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Funny that they all novels you mentioned were written by ADB. No surprise that they are amongst the best. Well, Betrayer is available in a nearby book store. Only one example of the First Heretic is available on amazon. As Betrayer focuses on the World Eaters as well I would pick First Heretic. Or should I have to read them in a chronological order or something like that?

HeritorA Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 You forget 'The Purge' - one of the best novellas in HH from BL. Written by Anthony Reynolds - author of great WB trilogy in W40K Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314393-word-bearer-novel/#findComment-4186199 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeBreaker Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 ADB certianly knows how to write him some word bearers, he took them from a legion i had zero interest in to perhaps my favorite you can read the separately,, but First Heretic is probably the best place to start, introduces all the characters that continue on in Betrayer, Aurliean is more of a stand-alone, a short novella. Just finished the Purge, highly recommend it, a great story Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314393-word-bearer-novel/#findComment-4186200 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelborn Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Seems like I order First Heretic. Maybe I'll order the Omnibus as well for the future. @HeritorA: Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? It's funny and competitive. At least for me. I'm only playing when I have the time to. So maybe 3 or 4 times a month. To each his own. For the Murlocs! Mrgrmglrgmll!

HeritorA Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Heretek But back to the topic at hand - read 'The Purge', you gonna like it. It goes after the First Heretic and Know no Fear. So read them first Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314393-word-bearer-novel/#findComment-4186278 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade Garrett Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I will second the recommendations of The First Heretic and Aurelian, and while I haven't read "The Purge" I've heard people whose judgment I trust sing its praises. But Anthony Reynolds Word Bearer trilogy was painful to read, that one I'd suggest steering clear of.
