Warhammer books in order3/31/2023 ![]() Advanced Reading Hero of the Imperium - Sandy Mitchell Priests who worship technology, moving war engines the size of skyscrapers - Titanicus shows it all in wonderful detail. Why you should read it: Of the factions in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, the Adeptus Mechanicus is one of the neatest. What it's about: The Titan Legion Legio Invicta is called to defend a Mechanicus forge world which is under attack from Chaos Titans. But if you find yourself digging the traitor legions, Graham McNeill's Iron Warriors Omnibus is an excellent next step. This one is the first book in a trilogy, and I'm guessing it'll be an omnibus soon enough.Īdditional reading: As mentioned, Chaos stories are pretty rare. The story is brilliant for its ability to make you feel invested in someone as evil as Talos and his band (especially Xarl), and Dembski-Bowden knows his way around space combat. There are plenty of short stories and Horus Heresy books (see below), but stories which seek to paint a flattering picture of the traitor legions are practically non-existent. Why you should read it: Rare is the book which follows a Chaos Space Marine's tale. What it's about: Soul Hunter follows the grim exploits of the Night Lords' First Claw, led by Talos, who shares Konrad Curze's gift/curse of prophecy. ![]() Soul Hunter - Aaron Dembski-Bowdenįaction: Chaos Marines! Specifically, Night Lords For more about the main Guard series starring Ibram Gaunt, see below. It's very much in the vein of All Quiet on the Western Front. Also, Double Eagle features two of the best female characters in Abnett's Sabbat Worlds.Īdditional reading: If you really like the Imperial Guard, Mitchel Scanlon's 15 Hours is a quick read that shows the truly gritty side of Imperial Guard life. The book reads super quick because the action forces you to keep turning the pages at a breakneck pace. Why you should read it: The story features the most intense, fast-paced descriptions of air combat in the Black Library's catalog. What it's about: The super elite Phantine XX fighter pilots arrive on a world tormented by Chaos fighters, namely a Red Baron-esque fighter named Khrel Kas Obarkon. Also, McNeill's Ultramarines: The Second Omnibus is great if you want to finish the story of Ventris and Honsou. It's a shorter book and while the characters and story are great, it's not as much of an introduction as is the Ultramarines book. Also similar to Eisenhorn, Ultramarines Omnibus introduces you to three different types of enemies, including the horrid Traitor Marines.Īdditional reading: If you find yourself in love with the Space Marines (how could you not be?), Dan Abnett's " Brothers of the Snake" is a wonderful next step. Why you should read it: These stories provide one of the best introductions and primers for the concept and basis of the Space Marines which can be a foreign concept to newcomers of the universe. Ventris' exploits take him across three very different campaigns. I would only suggest watching this if you feel like you NEED to finish the series.What it's about: Much as with Eisenhorn, Ultramarines Omnibus contains three books which follow the adventures of Uriel Ventris, captain of the 4th company of the Ultramarines. In my opinion I would just end with the second movie. I love the pitch perfect series but this movie seems rushed and pretty low quality compared to the first two. Furthermore the announcers in the first two movies make a very inappropriate joke during one of the Bella’s performances. There are back to back scenes with at least 5 swear words. There are also many inappropriate jokes in this movie. I don’t even know if you could call this movies story a story, it’s all over the place and at times does not make sense at all. The humor is fine but the story drags down this movie big time. It’s not horrible but it is by far the worst. But the third is where the series hits rock bottom. The second one fine, if you liked the first you should watch the second. ![]() The first one was awesome, highly recommend. Sadly although the first movie was awesome the series does slowly degrade over time. I was introduced to it by some friends at school and I feel in love with the first movie. ![]()
