Charlo Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I can't seem to aquire a good audio version of false gods, butI does it matter too much if I listen to Galaxy in Flames first? They seem pretty tied up but if it doesn't matter then I'll just go ahead :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315775-galaxy-in-flames-before-false-gods/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Well, the first three books of the HH are technically an opening trilogy, so listening to Galaxy in Flames first, while not game breaking, will probably spoil a thing or two for you.

Atia Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 should be ok^^ the audio book versions (or atleast the ones i have) just follow the Legion plot afaik, so you just need to know that Horus got corrupted on Davin by Erebus (and Horus plans the HH now^^), Loken is the good guy alongside Torgaddon, the Word Bearers brought Lodges into the Legion - oh, and Tarvitz is a buddy of Loken and Garro, Lucius got face punched by Loken so he dislikes him ^^ or in other words: it's not like there is some game braking stuff in the first two books which isn't already known from the basic fluff^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315775-galaxy-in-flames-before-false-gods/#findComment-4219294 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 I listened to Horus Rising and LOVED it Atia! Torgaddon is so cool aha, really a boss. When I get a good version of it I'll go back but when GW are charging triple the price of the paper back to listen to it... Something is wrong :/ I listened to Promethean Sun and that was okay, some good Vulkan and Ferrus action, but I'm eager for more of the Lunar Wolves, Horus was just like the Damn fonz in that meeting on the ship haha Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315775-galaxy-in-flames-before-false-gods/#findComment-4219298 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatOneMarshal Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 If your using the audio books then you miss out on the human side of the story, from my understanding. I personally enjoyed it but different strokes for different folks. If your hungry for some more Luna wolves action then you'll want to go through false gods first. Imagine astartes vs zombies and you aren't far off in terms of the action. I'm reading galaxy in flames so far and it's pretty good so far, though I haven't enjoyed either galaxy in flames or false gods as much as horus rising.

I'm listening to the unabridged ones where possible and they seemed to have other stuff in about non-astartes! So it's all good :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315775-galaxy-in-flames-before-false-gods/#findComment-4219431 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna707 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Wait don't skip false gods! In my opinion it's actually the best of the three! The audience gets to witness the exact moment Horus falls and it's spectacular. Also there is a really tender and particularly human moment between Horus and one of his former officers that serves as the last time Horus is truly himself.

SkimaskMohawk Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Literally the exact moment...he just chooses to go traitor pretty much on the flip of a coin with no thought put into it. The scene is extremely badly written Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315775-galaxy-in-flames-before-false-gods/#findComment-4219508 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luna707 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Really? I mean it's no Oedipus The King but I thought it was plausible. We get hints of his descent previously in the book and in the prior one and this builds until Horus opens the door into the dark. At that point the ruinous powers overtake him, so I guess it seems sudden but to me at least it seems possible given the nature of the warhammer universe. I would offer to lend you the actual book copy I have but my girlfriend has stolen it along with most of my sweatshirts hahaha Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315775-galaxy-in-flames-before-false-gods/#findComment-4219523 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkimaskMohawk Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 On phone so I can't use the tags but *spoilers* ahead for op. Erebus tries to trick horus in the dream state he's in and after showing him all these future events Magnus shows up and exposes everything. But Horus still goes with erebus after finding out he was being manipulated the whole time...Usually when you find out someone has been manipulating you, you're less apt to listen to what they have to say Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315775-galaxy-in-flames-before-false-gods/#findComment-4219544 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna707 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 But he still thought he saw the future and it reinforced what he was already suspecting. Anyway, read the book and tell us who you agree with!

Charlo Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 Someone was kind enough to give me an audio copy! It's the shorter version but still super ready to start tonight :) Mods can close this thread if they want or keep it open to discuss some heresy book stuff in general? :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315775-galaxy-in-flames-before-false-gods/#findComment-4219627 Share on other sites More sharing options...
