It's soi.

Horus Heresy is a series. And the best books are the Scar ones from HH: Other than that, can't beat Ciaphas Cain.

shit meant for Yea Forums

oh well it's kinda Yea Forums related anyway since it might get made into tv show

>40k lore is pretty good

Only retards say that. What they should be saying is that Nemesis the Warlock, Judge Dredd and ABC Warriors are good.

Read a few of them about 10 years ago
It's glorified fan-fic at best

I'm just finishing book 21 and so far about half of them are skippable if you're not as invested.

But to get into the universe better entrypoints are:

Eisenhorn(3 books in the original trilogy but it leads into/connects to about another 5 or 6)

Gaunts Ghosts(14 or so shortish books)

Storm of Iron(standalone)

Armageddon by Aaron Demski Bowden(Standalone)

I've read the first of 3 books in the Night Lords trilogy. Also a great place to start with low investment.

I could name more, and there's more stuff I've read good things about but haven't read myself, but point is there are easier entrypoints than the very inconsistent HH series.

Horus Heresy books are fucking awful and one of the reasons 40k went down the shitter.

What are the quintessential Warhammer movies/shows/porn?
My only experience with Warhammer is watching those lore videos on youtube.

“If the Emperor had Text-to-speech device” is kino

No one says that.

You're also in the television board.

40k is decent, that's all.

Reading’s for fags

Warhammer and Berserk are so neckbeard

i know meant to post in Yea Forums but whatever, can't delete the post if i wanted to

Read the Battletech books, it's better.

It's fedora shit for mankind making an idol of itself and it's own glory

>not just watching Luetin's lore videos

I can't even imagine the amount of continuity errors in that shit.

Also: a lot of detail != a good story, tolkien perfected the fantasy world with the very very many implied stories which are never told.

40k only serves as a loose unifying setting for authors who range from utter shit to passable.

Ugh, I wish /40k/ had their own board, and their crap kept in there.

Actually, s000ifaggot, it's an allegory of the one true based Catholic Church.

Just watch lore vids on Youtube.

Please dont. This is one of the few remaining franchise yet unjewed.

This. The universe as a whole (which is utterly massive (which is a good thing and a selling point)) is fucking amazing and fascinating. However, the actual substance of the lore can easily be hit or miss depending on who is writing it.

BUT, the great thing about 40k/30k is that the lore comes with a preemptive disclaimer that information in the universe is NOT reliable, so anything and everything can be taken with a grain of salt and adjusted accordingly to your own interpretations or headcanons without much detriment to the overall setting and story.

That's what distinguishes it from other sci-fi settings, at least to me.

The true fun of Warhammer is going to the wiki and getting lost in the vast repository of lore and information contained within. Ive spent a quite a few afternoons lost in the wiki and even considered adopting thhe whole collectible thing as a hobby but got put off by how expensive it is. Still great fun
