With that in mind, I put this list together of books I think were the most influential to me. This week I want to respond to several requests I’ve gotten about which are my favorite books in the Horus Heresy series.

Last week we got into five books that are some of my favorite faction-oriented novels in the 40k universe. There’s so much detail in this lore that a bare summary seems so inadequate, but for new people this should be the right portion to get a feel for the history of the universe we enjoy our games in. This is meant to be an easy summary and introduction geared towards new players or people unfamiliar with the setting, but should still be an interesting read or fun refresher for those already familiar. Just as a reminder, in this series we will explore facets of the history and legends of the Grimdark. Also, check the Tactics Corner for more great articles! Hello 40k (and 30k) fans! Chris Morgan, Chief Librarian of the Forge the Narrative Podcast, is here again with the next weekly segment of Tomes of the Librarius.
