I flew through to fallen angels and then got too busy with work but I loved the ones i read

I wouldn't worry though, before you get to the end GW will claim the lore was all wrong and make them all be rewritten so you have to buy them again

[JasonPratt]

That's the production order, not necessarily chronological or topical.

I've read the first four novels and novellas in chronological order (which would be Descent of Angels, Some Novella Featuring the Eldar On Dinosaurs the Title of Which I Forget, Legion and Horus Rising), but got off on other things. I enjoyed what I did read a lot, but I doubt I'll go back until I plow through the vastly-much-cheaper and just-as-epic (and just-as-variable-in-overall-quality) MtG novels.  ;)

Very weird advert on TV tonight for the books - never seen gw on the telly before

One of those start collecting now things - one a week for the next eleventy million weeks usually reserved for a galleon or a tyrannasaur

Huh. I have to wonder if that's due to the recent preponderance of Warhammer games (40K and standard) on PC and mobiles.

I can't stop reading the damn things! I've noticed that the farther into the series you read (by production order) the further back in time you go. The stories of the characters, such as Fulgrim and Garro are good and it really adds some depth to the characters and universe.

The down side is like you say - GW will probably turn the whole series into a dream in the mind of Horus while he sleeps than the real Heresy series will begin.  :o

I want to start reading some of the Space Marine series, but I may have to find another job to finance the adventure - GW loves their money. Between me buying these books and my Son buying miniatures the amount of disposable income going to GW is large.  :)

Okay, I'll bite with the first one. I've been wanting to read these for a while now.

[Dammit Carl!]

 No, but Dan Abnett has the WH40K milieu down cold so I'd just read what he wrote and call it good.

Seriously, Gaunt's Ghosts and the Inquisitor series should be required reading before even touching a WH40K rpg.

I'll pretend this thread doesn't exist.

I can't hear you.

Ha!
