So I’ve heard some descriptions of the 40,000 lore from a podcast I watch, and it sounds incredible, but there’s an awful lot of options to start from, with people recommending many different book series and youtube summaries. Is there a simpler approach, like just going into one standalone book to ground yourself before a bigger series? Or from a game to a tie-in book of some kind? Many thanks.
If you’re interested in reading any of the books, I would recommend starting with the Horus Heresy novels. There are a lot of them, and some are better than others, but the first three are a good place to start. They’re sort of the bigining of everything and lay a good foundation for the lore moving forward. The Lexicanum is a good wiki to rabbit hole on if you just want to ingest raw lore.
Awesome, thank you! Seems based on the collective suggestion I should check our Horus
Makes sense, it kind of sets the ground work for the whole universe.
And no problem
