Finally a Warhammer youtuber with some sense. As someone who read pretty much all of the heresy, I find it utterly bizarre that people would recommend reading any heresy books before reading the first five. You miss an unbelievable amount of context. I'm still salty that adeptus ridiculous didn't even bother to start with the first trilogy before diving into betrayer.

I was surprised not to see Mechanicum listed, I know a lot of people don't really enjoy it, I personally do. But I think it has a lot of world building for the Mechanicus and the Titan legions, and adds depth to the series. Maybe not required, but I'd definetly recommend it.

I like Prospero Burns as a stand alone horror story. Casper Hauser is a pretty sympathetic character, and his multiple nightmare lives make a great cosmic horror story. Not the most important hh book, but really great for showing how terrible Chaos is. And it's nice to have true-hearted heros and brothers pull though.

Fury of Magnus had shown the friendship between Perturabo and Magnus, as well as Magnus wanting Perturabo to join him in switching sides. However, what you said about what Magnus remembers of his encounter in the throne room seems to have thrown a wrench into my year-long perspective of it. While Mortis being as boring as it is even though I shed tears on a specific scene with Shiban, it was Perturabo's decision to leave the Heresy that I hoped you would notice or mention.

@Pfszx 6 месяцев назад

Shibans scene is why I actually love Mortis. Fury of magnus is important despite the end of mortis because it gives some insight onto what the thousand sons are doing after the solar war book where they are mentioned in passing.

My favorite segment of the HH series is probably the Imperium Secundus books (aside from Jawn sidetracking Unremembered Empire). Liked the dynamic of Guilliman, Sanguinius, and Lion. The Pharos plot, Curze going nanners and just having a grand ole time. Showing that Maccrage isnt completely without its shittier side.

@lachlanevans5013 4 месяца назад

I definitely think you should read Titandeath for anyone out there. True it’s not really that important(the only reason I actually read it was because of Sanguinius presence which was very minimum) but oh boy i actually really enjoyed it(and not just the small part involving Sanguinius) I really enjoyed the characters, we get to see the birth of a titan legion and a tragic story between two warlord Princeps of different titan legions, one of which is slowly falling to the influence of Khorne. I just found it really engaging and Jonathan Keeble does a good job(as always) in the audiobook. We also get some Mechanicum content on both sides and great action as well. Again not necessary for the overall plot of the HH but if you like Titans then this is definitely one you should get.

I can sympathise dude. It really feels like life is coming at me real fast and its almost overwhelming. It feels like I have very little time to paint my little plastic men and relax a bit, but what always helps me is knowing that theres a light at the end of the tunnel, that its all for a reason. Sure it's taken me longer than I'd like, and a big longer than some of my former peers. We're getting there, and thats all that matters.

Probably I write too late for you to read, but: 1) Very happy about hearing those nice words for Chris Wright. He is not just the author who best understands the white scars, but also the space wolves (I can recommend his SW novels). His writing is not perfect (some action parts are completely irrelevant), but he is a great author (in fact his Siege of Terra book is the best one by far) 2) About Wolfbane, it is not needed but it is a good book. Also it explains why the hell is Leman missing (although it comes to nothing and leads to nothing) 3) About Sons of Selenar, it is not relevant for the Siege, but it is relevant for the 41st millenium 4) Mortis is indeed the worse book of the Siege, but the First wall is quite bad as well. I 100% skipped the part of the African recruits

To be fair, my first book i read was the buried dagger, because i was on a field ex and wanted some books to read and i was just starting to get into 40k. The 2 40k books i found were spear of the emperor (1st 40k book i ever read), then buried dagger, which is the last book of the heresy. I then found and read fallen angels (book 11). I really enjoyed book 54 and 11, so decided i wanted the whole series. I then read the 1st 4 before taking abit of break from heresy, and reading some primarch novels, 40k novels and the 1st 2 Gaunt books

@cameochris 5 месяцев назад

I can sympathise with what you are saying about the books, I limit myself to one a month on Audible unless there are any sales on and the feeling from going from an excellent book to a middling or stinker of a book next in the series is palpable but I've committed to collecting them all so have to take the rough with the smooth. I'm just glad I didn't start collecting them back in the day and have to deal with this feeling over a longer period of time that people had to endure when waiting on the next release.

If someone wants to get into Scars I can't recommend the audiobook version read by Shogo Myakita enough. The Japanese accent he gives the White Scars just sounds really cool and goes a long way in making them distinct from other legions. It's a tremendous shame he wasn’t also reading The Path of Heaven and Warhawk. Jonathan Keeble does great work as always but his vague asian accent isn't nearly as good.

@Thyinternet 6 месяцев назад

Some short stories / Novellas absolutely not to be slept on - “Savage Weapons / Prince of Crows” duology not only setting up a portion of Unremembered Empire, but my favorite introduction to both Lion and Curze and their respective factions, ADB at his best. “Little Horus” and “The Iron Within” both awesome, “Grey Talon” and “The Crimson Fist” as well, the latter not a bad … proto introduction? To the Imperial Fists. John French is definitely one of the higher tier writers imho

@KMn048 6 месяцев назад

On my readthrough I read Angels of Caliban only, I agree its enough for the context. But now that I'm caught up I went back and read the first two Dark Angels books and I would highly recommend them. They're very self contained plotwise but they show you who Zahariel is, and now that I know him he's one of my favorite characters. If you have time before TEATD 3 at least try and read Angels of Caliban, it seems like Zahariel is gonna have a big payoff and this will prime you for it.

I will say Descent of Angels (and I am Not a DA fan by any means) has lovely world building. Chronologically, I believe it predates Legion, and it’s a great look at what a planet and society would look like just coming out of Old Night. Does it flesh out the greater plot? Eh, not really, I guess. But it never tried to, and I think it does a fairly good job of what it sets out to do. It’s kind of like Nemesis in that way (yeah, I loved Nemesis).

Having half of the book be before the imperium arrives was dope, showed what their world was like and how it affected their legion later on.

Also important to set up Luther's character book which is really really good.

So I just found this channel and wanted to just give you a heads up: GW is extremely protective of there IP and if your channel picks up a lot more steam ( and hope it does) I’m not sure if the name black library is copyrighted by them But I just wanted to give you a heads up

"This book isn't good, I mean, John Grammaticus shows up!" I remember reading Know No Fear, and when he showed up I made a disappointed sigh 😆 But he didn't stay long, so it was fine...

If John gramaticus ends up being ollanius pius people will be furious

First book I listened to on Audible was " Warhawk". Was that out of order?

You talked about many books ho served as an introduction for a legion, but you didn't mention one for the Nightlords, Iron Hands and Raven Guard, is it because they don't have any, or are they just bad/unnecessary ?
