OhShitSon@lemmy.zip 1 week agoThe first five or six books of The Horus Heresy are fantastic IMO. After that it’s a lot of hit and miss titles, and a load of short stories which also vary in quality.
I may be skewed because I’ve been into warhammer for more two thirds of my life though.

As I understand it the original plan was to cover the Heresy over like 10 books or something like that but then it just kept ballooning. This resulted in issues like Fulgrim falling to chaos really fucken fast and for stupid reasons only for him to more or less jack off for the rest of the Heresy which while fitting for a Slaaneshi champion is still kinda disappointing.

Yeah, I would actually like a few books set during the great crusade, it would be interesting to learn more of the before everything went to complete shit.
