[cerulean peak]

Fw made a few nice things

Love the big doom croissant

[celest heron]

The emperor is the good guy and the interex were filthy xenos that needed to be purged

[cerulean peak]

That's not what Horus thought

Until Erebus fucked things up ofc

[celest heron]

Horus was a bitch

[cerulean peak]

He still is

[celest heron]

No, now hes 6 feet under

[cerulean peak]

It's true that my end and the death copy is under 6 feet of horus heresy books

[celest heron]

Anyway erebus stole the poop knife

And therefore he is shit

[cerulean peak]

Can't argue with that

[celest heron]

You are what you steal

And I am 👖

[safe plover]

horus is a bitch

just say no to chaos

its that fucking easy

[celest heron]

I mean he did get stabbed with the poop knife

So he is a shitty bitch

[tall phoenix]

STOP CALLING IT THE POOP KNIFE

[celest heron]

No

[tall phoenix]

Yes

[safe plover]

its a litearal poop knife

[tall phoenix]

ITS NOT

[safe plover]

all they had to do was put horus in stasis and send him to the emperor

[celest heron]

Horus belongs to the septic tank

[safe plover]

the emperor would have looked at him did a naruto hand seal and cleansed him of chaos

[celest heron]

Cuz he got stabbed

with the poop knife

[safe plover]

or idk maybe liquidated 3 blanks and fed them to horus

[tall phoenix]

read that as "liquidated 3 banks"

which ngl also in character

[safe plover]

lmao

[celest heron]

Was gonna say

Both work

[tall phoenix]

he literally blew up a planet for an attempted assassination attempt on it

Morty said yes to ease his son's pain

[celest heron]

[tall phoenix]

i must meditate on this bring forth the poop glove

[cerulean peak]

If GRRM can, so can we

[safe plover]

the fucking glove of self harm

daddy left to buy cigs better cut myself

[celest heron]

Uses his hands so hard they fall off

And his sons collect it and sign it like a soccer ball

[safe plover]

what the fuck is happening with dorn and his legion

[celest heron]

Idk I think siggismund was the only normal one

No codex astartes appendix made by brother rhetoricus.

Anyway do you think thats why the fists stay hidden within their walls, for fear of what they created

[cerulean peak]

They're having fistycuffs with Peter Turbo and his girls

[celest heron]

Shovel v shovel

[safe plover]

peter and dorn in the autismoff

[celest heron]

[shy lark]

The primarch pseudo incest is surely just on tumblr

[celest heron]

its a shame that shitpost was made by a pedo brony

Anyway which legion was the most normal?

The khan?

Like the ultramarines had girlyman, magnus had people being turned into sheep, the dark angels had redacted, the fists, the wolves were turning into jacob, the blood angels, petty rabble is cutting his entire legion in half and putting olympia back together with flex seal.

[safe plover]

super unreliable they share zero info with the astra militarium

they just help out randomly

dark angels are pretty normal imo

[shy lark]

Normal in a behavioral sense?

[celest heron]

Yeah

[safe plover]

prolly ultra marines or dark angels and some for their uhhh whats the word

foundling chapters?

[shy lark]

Probably a tossup between Ultramarines, Luna Wolves, Salamanders or just maybe Dark Angels

[celest heron]

Was talking about legions

[safe plover]

then yeah just ultra marines or dark angels

[celest heron]

If we add in chapters... ultramarines has the cannibals

[shy lark]

I haven't read many HH books though because I don't care

[safe plover]

salamanders were very suicidal until they found vulkan he was the last to be found so they kept trying to prove themselves primarchless

[celest heron]

I think the mortifactors were second fpunding

[shy lark]

Yes afaik

[celest heron]

Luna wolves got too involved with their frats

[shy lark]

Going around calling the Emperor the Ultimate Warrior like it's some wrestling title

[celest heron]

Their hazing got a bit far.....

[shy lark]

Frat bros are fairly normal

[celest heron]

Probably ends up being dark angels or ultramarines then

Dark angels are probably the better ones because they were trusted to do redacted

[shy lark]

Could have been the Iron Hands if Ferrus didn't lose his head

[celest heron]

Oh yeah ferrusful hands were normal

[royal egret]

They weren’t really

They were still a super brutal legion which did scorched earth tactics, and the augmetic thing was very prevalent still back then.

[shy lark]

World Eaters pre Angron seems to have been brutal but fairly sensible, I lean towards UM or Salamanders

[royal egret]

Ferrus also didn’t plan on purging the augmetics focus until after the GC was done and they didn’t need to be more effective anymore.

Which even if he survived would never have happened

[tall phoenix]

you dropped this king

[celest heron]

Ive still only read the grey knights omnibus because I am too busy reading random other novels

[tall phoenix]

to be fair thats one of the good ones

lots of good homoerotic moments as well for female readers like me

[shy lark]

I thought that was what aos was for

[tall phoenix]

to be fair both got gay moments

[celest heron]

Like the one part where the inquisitor writes down the demons name in blood on the walls

or the gay relationship between alaric and the khorne chaos champion in the third

[tall phoenix]

[simple cloud]

[shy lark]

Waste of time innit

[simple cloud]

Warhammer Romance when

I’m literally serious the little snatches of interpersonal relationships we get from the more talented authors are so good.

Drusher and Macks in The Magos personal fave.

[safe plover]

NEVER

[simple cloud]

WARHAMMER ROMANCE DAMN IT

[shy lark]

Only if it ends poorly

[simple cloud]

[simple cloud]

Well yeah

It is 40K

[shy lark]

I only want to put down the readerxprimarch shippers thinking about it. Make the story an allegory about that

[shy lark]

Innit though, a good bunch 40k books are mediocre to begin with and 30k is a contrived mess

[tall phoenix]

Yeah this is very much true.

40k has a slop of every variety

[simple cloud]

Ok yes but it’s tasty slop sigsen

IT’S TASTY SLOP

George Eliot only wrote seven books

What am I supposed to read after that

WARHAMMER

Obv

With a little Milton on the side.

The Western canon

[shy lark]

Some of it is good slop

Most not so much imho

[simple cloud]

Really I consider Paradise Lost a sort of rough draft of the Horus Heresy. Milton could have tried harder how many times does Samus appear w his catchphrase?

No times.

None.

Heresy >>>> PL

The Iliad? Basically 0 busty women in bodygloves. Trash.

[celest heron]

But what about paradise regained?

[celest heron]

How do you think helen became such a baddy, she was wearing bodygloves

[simple cloud]

More of an Emperor biopic

[celest heron]

Thought that was morte d'arthur

[simple cloud]

That’s the adventures of the primooorks

Les Primarches rather hon hon hon 🥖

[tall phoenix]

LMAO

[safe plover]

my monitor 2 smol 😭

can i post the heresy order pdf here?

[royal egret]

Master of Mankind

Just read that

I can’t make out any of the others

Unremembered Empire> Pharos>Ruinstorm is a pretty major arc too

[safe plover]

what about the path of heaven and the crimson king

[royal egret]

Also very good options

Did you read Know No Fear and Betrayer?

[safe plover]

ye they were very good

[drowsy urchin]

Did you read Angel Exterminatus?

[safe plover]

"read"

listened to but yeah

[drowsy urchin]

listen is weird to say

[safe plover]

it was good

fuck fulgrim tho

[drowsy urchin]

I too listen everything but it doesn't have the right ring to it

But I'd say every mainline novel besides Deathfire and Old Earth are worth the time below that line

The Crimson King had a subpar narrator though

anthalogies you can skip

[safe plover]

yeah ive come to realize that

out of all of them so far

i can remember 1 short story

and loosely the events of another

[safe plover]

OHH WAIT

the garro stuff was good

but its closer to a real novel than an anthology

[mellow knot]

Got:
Eisenhorn Omnibus by Dan Abnett

Night Lords Omnibus by Aaron-Dembski Bowden

Lords of Silence by Xhris Wraight

The Infinite and the Divine by Robert Rath

These are my first 40k books, am in for a good ride? I'm halfway through 'Xenos' & also started 'Soul Hunter'

[drowsy urchin]

all good picks

[orchid herald]

if you can get kingsmaker by robert rath and I sandy mitchell's cain omnibus (their 3)

[simple cloud]

Yes!

Yes excellent.

You were advised well.

[umbral hinge]

Thanks guys, loving it so far!!

Apart from Darktide I'm also playing Space Marine 2 & Rogue Trader. Rogue Trader is so great at introducing 40k. It's helped me understand bits of the worldbuilding the books mention! (i.e. what a Navigator does, the Navis Nobilite, etc.!)

[tall phoenix]

Rogue Trader is PEAK for wider universe exploration as a game

[molten temple]

Can’t go wrong with Eisenhorn, they’re all absolutely perfect 40k books

[simple cloud]

Holy shit you’re really being inundated. That’s great.

[simple cloud]

I want to know so much more about the writers and loremasters involved in RT. It’s an amazing feat.

@umbral hinge the real question is when are you going to buy your first tabletop army. And your second. And your third.

[leaden acorn]

Owlcat is good at world building, its just a lot of reading

[deft bramble]

started reading Eisenhorn and loving it so far, such a chill read

[tall phoenix]

its a super moodpiece and cozy

[simple cloud]

Yessss

Yes welcome

[simple cloud]

You know it is kind of cozy isn’t it

[brittle tapir]

i dont find it cozy

so much action

i guess the parts where he returns to his home base to talk for 3 chapters is cozy

but even then there's always a layer of gross in 40k that makes everything feel dangerous

[safe plover]

i am struggling with the crimson king

i have no idea what the fuck is happening most of the time

i fell asleep on ONE chapter

[hearty niche]

That’s how I feel with the Eisenhorn series. 🥱😪😪

You're a wizard harry

[safe plover]

I lost focus for a bit

You definitely should! 😁

[lavish rune]

I think I'll be grabbing The Reverie next and then the Twice Dead King series. The latter has been on my TBR forever.

[blissful heart]

Wanting to start reading the novels.

What's the first one chronologically.

[tall phoenix]

There is no chronological order

you pick a novel and read it, this is a galaxy spanning setting

[deft bramble]

https://youtu.be/jj3-5D9Xx2s?t=4633
with timestamp

short version: doesnt matter lol read what you like and be happy

https://pyroriffic.wordpress.com/warhammer-40k-reading-starter-list/

and a bunch of books you might start with

[tall phoenix]

👆

[blissful heart]

Epic

I heard horus rising is a good place to start.

[hybrid turtle]

People def recommend against starting with the horus heresy

[tall phoenix]

^

you will be extremely confused

[wise yew]

yeah it's basically set in it's own era that largely doesn't affect the main setting much besides history

[hybrid turtle]

Not only bc its a different setting compared to 40k but also bc the whole series is long and changing in quality per book

[deft bramble]

maybe watching Leutin's videos is a better idea for learning about the story chronologically

at first, at least

[drowsy urchin]

A coworker watched a few lore videos, mostly the chronological lore of all of 40k and then started with the heresy as his first books. It has been enjoyable to follow his experience that way

don't think it's the worst possible thing to do

It's pretty wild when someone who doesn't even know all the legions or whom go traitor goes through the books

[quaint canopy]

Can anyone recommend good books about/with tyranids?

[drowsy urchin]

devastation of baal

[safe plover]

https://tenor.com/view/once-you-start-no-going-back-daddy-talk-gif-12390474

[safe plover]

yeah can confirm i watched ~170h of horus heresy breakdowns before starting

it made it smoother but still

some books you're gonna have to memorize a short discription of each major char

[simple cloud]

The correct answer here as ever is Eisenhorn: Xenos

[tall phoenix]

Ignore what Jerk said, thats space marine centric, 1 sec

• Blood Harvest
• Devilhunter
• The Convocation
• The Devouring Void
• The Long and Hungry Road

While not books persay these are a collection of 4-5 short stories showing in a simple format whats it actually like to fight against Nids/What they kinda do

[shy lark]

Read Dante and then Devastation of Baal 🙂

[tall phoenix]

[quaint canopy]

Appreciate the recommendations, cheers 🙂

[frigid osprey]

the long and hungry road is a good one, its only a short story, but it's by adrian tchaikovsky

[tall phoenix]

Yeee all the ones i listed are Shorts but its prob the best format you can get to explore nids as a faction.

especially with no other faction largely attached to them with Nids just taking the backseat position

[wise yew]

typical Jerk

[safe plover]

last chapter of the crimson king

i still dont know whats happening but i feel bad for magnus 😭

Hes just a misunderstood gayboy

really hope they'll release the rest of the dark coil in audio soon

which I really suspect is happening when the book is called "The Dark Coil: Fire Caste" when the narrator names it, not just Fire Caste

mmmm no :3

I do love his hilariously terrible American accents for eg John G

I like to think he could do a perfect one but is making fun of us

British prob subtly making fun of us 90% of the time but jokes on them we autistically don’t get it and are just happy they’re so nice

[safe plover]

nah thats not true

british people speak normally when no one else is around

[glass lintel]

Not a HH fan and I hate all of the destiny stuff that's all throughout it, but having all these Latin/Roman/British/Slavic/"Is that racistly Asian?" accents have been built-up to the point that I don't second-guess them.

Having someone walk into a scene going "Now hang-on just a cotton-pickin' minute heeyah, Mistah Hooris. Ah reckon yet up-tah some sorta Harass-y" is fucking hilarious.

I'm a touch upset at the lack of more recognizably Asian/Hispanic/Black/etc voices not only in the audiobooks, but also in Darktide ("Which flavor of White UK resident do you want for 18/21 voice options?") . . . but I'd be sorely tempted at the opportunity to have the next class have at least one hilariously out of place Yankee accent.

[tall phoenix]

Darktide has a few different non-native english VAs so it works well enough, the thing is 40k VAs in most media have almost always been british

[simple cloud]

Ok this legit would be funny af

[simple cloud]

Lmao

As a distinctly nonwhite person I can say I couldn’t really give less of a fuck about being “represented” in that way and that’s a pretty common sentiment outside of the sort of liberal arts college student crowd.

[severe trail]

I’m going to be honest I’d rather them not personally as a Chinese person regarding like accents

[simple cloud]

I do like that skin tones and features etc can be changed

[severe trail]

Because what level of accenting lol

[simple cloud]

But I don’t care that much about that either tbh

[severe trail]

Are they going to pick someone who’s fluent in English, because in that case the accents not going to sound what people would expect to be “Asian” lol

I just find it hilarious whenever audiobook authors go into that accent for the white scars

[simple cloud]

lmao having a scars book read by some fobby Chinese/Mongolian grandpa would be hilarious.

[severe trail]

I agree LOL

[simple cloud]

Narrator commentary: “why my son read this? Should be reading math homework.”

I can’t decide whether it’s so bad it’s good or so bad it’s bad.

also people having racist flippant moments from it is about as great

for example as a muslim person I absolutely hate Tallarn because they are literally based on white british extras from Lawrence of Arabia lol

[severe trail]

Up to you to decide if they’re imperial or chaos

[tall phoenix]

with a fandom this racist its probably best not to lol

[glass lintel]

Shame too, since observing how different cultures would venerate the Emperor and Imperial Truth has a lot of terrific mileage seemingly only reserved to space marines.

stick to mutations as the allegory for it

The genetics of Eurasia are pretty amazing for real. So so many migrations and mixing.

Mixings

But also substantiates a ton of both traditional and like 19th century archaeological narrative.

[shy lark]

I weep at being 50% Irish 1000 years ago 😔

[tall phoenix]

Goes both ways tbh

[brittle tapir]

they changed it because of you dilara

[royal egret]

They got tired of people stealing their signs

[severe trail]

[royal egret]

And then after they made their sign, almost impossible to steal people still bang each other in front of it

[shy lark]

Now it's just that fucking spurdo bear meme

[tall phoenix]

LMFAO

I’m not even joking

[simple cloud]

Also see Eldar lmao

[tall phoenix]

Nah

Eldar are not racist at all

[severe trail]

Eldar racism is weak

[tall phoenix]

Wait hold on

[shy lark]

I like talking to my Japanese friend
So how about Korea huh

[severe trail]

They’re not racist towards each other

In the same craftworld

[tall phoenix]

do we mean cultural inspiration wise or actual racism

lol

[simple cloud]

Ok that’s true I was just making a big deal about how speciesism isn’t racism

[tall phoenix]

I mean

it kinda is

its just hyperbolics

[simple cloud]

Speciesism totally rational.

[severe trail]

You see the drukhari are morally correct because they see everyone else as inferior in their moral framework/j

[shy lark]

We need more 40k racism is what I see

Warhammer crime also has warhammer homophobia

[tall phoenix]

the mainstream books are afraid of it ye

its why they always use mutants

[severe trail]

All that’s missing is

[shy lark]

I do, but crank it up

[severe trail]

That one word you don’t call gay people

[tall phoenix]

Im glad it exists because i got no idea why people think homophobia wouldnt exist in 40k lol

“Deep learning”

[severe trail]

Oh my god wait

[brittle tapir]

that's what they call me in bed

[severe trail]

Oh want to know something really funny that happened a few years ago in Taiwan

There’s a conveyor belt sushi chain that did a promotion that if your legal name had any of the characters of salmon in it

You’d get free salmon sushi

You can only change your name once legally in Taiwan

I will give you one guess what happened

[brittle tapir]

why only once

[simple cloud]

When they wake 2 the deep learning they’ll have woken

[tall phoenix]

Oh god lmao

[severe trail]

Because of the KMT wanting to keep track of people

Oh god Singapore

[severe trail]

Taiwan weed = prison though

It’s like 1 year

[brittle tapir]

Truly a Singapore moment

Actually sorry they reduced it to 15

[simple cloud]

p r a g m a t i c

[brittle tapir]

also ban most websites that might have porn

[severe trail]

Because Bush asked

Very nicely

And Singapore decided to not whip some American teen half to death live on TV

[brittle tapir]

i would have enjoyed that

[severe trail]

💀

[simple cloud]

cringe capitulation

[brittle tapir]

no

i would have enjoyed watching it

i hate spoiled teens

dont do drugs in a foreign country let alone one that HAS THE DEATH PENALTY

[simple cloud]

Yeah me too.

[simple cloud]

Oh. Right yeah. For this reason.

[severe trail]

Nah they didn’t so drugs

[simple cloud]

Def for this reason yeah

[brittle tapir]

im in florida rn and you think i dont want to buy some weed im dying here

[severe trail]

They just vandalized a bunch of shit

So your choice on if it’s worse

[brittle tapir]

just dont do crime

also sounds like shitheads

whipping them sounds like the first repercussion they would have had

[severe trail]

Singapore doesn’t do a ton of prison time for stuff ironically

It’s usually just

[brittle tapir]

i support whipping tourists

[severe trail]

Getting beaten

Lol

[simple cloud]

Island so small where they gonna keep the prisoners

[brittle tapir]

imagine if the buckingham palace whipped you for annoying guards

it would be so orderly

[simple cloud]

Y… yes. So… orderly

[severe trail]

Idk

Somewhere

[simple cloud]

[panting]

[severe trail]

Don’t they already scream at tourists

Lol

[brittle tapir]

you're weird by my standards

[brittle tapir]

nah that's tomb of the unknown soldier

americans go hard like usual

[simple cloud]

That’s ur grandpa

Well we are getting to the weird part of the night

We have covered a lot of ground in this chat oh boy

[severe trail]

My grandpa doesn’t scream at tourists he just mutters about them

[simple cloud]

Hahahaha real

[severe trail]

My other grandpa is dead

So idk what he’d do

[simple cloud]

😦

[severe trail]

Prolly the same

[simple cloud]

Really some good family lore here

[severe trail]

Earlier today in general we learned all about what’s his face’s sister’s libido so

It’s a win for Darktide discord today boys

You know what I haven’t done in like a week is played Darktide.

[shy lark]

They do trample kids who get in the way at least

[brittle tapir]

no mercy for tourists

whatever happened to outsiders being held to a higher standard

[safe plover]

path of heaven is really good

its kinda better than the crimson king

[drowsy urchin]

It's happening! The Dark Coil in audio format in it's entirety! Soon™️

[deft bramble]

do new books come out often?

[drowsy urchin]

define often

this one is a rerelease specifically, in a different format. But the article mentioned a couple new ones as well

I'd say the pace is about a couple books a month or more

https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/505blk2u/sunday-preview-the-death-korps-march-for-krieg/

speaking of this article

[royal egret]

There’s often a couple every month or so at least, but it varies.

[deft bramble]

damn, gw have an entire book conveior

[royal egret]

They got a lot of authors working for them, and tend to tie them into big releases.

[safe plover]

bequin 3 when??????

i wanna know what fucking valdor is doing 😠

[drowsy urchin]

I feel it in my bones that we'll get some news about it this year

[safe plover]

AFFIRM!!!

[shy lark]

No Bequin for another two years minimum

[safe plover]

chat remove his bones

[drowsy urchin]

they feel wrong

[safe plover]

i am not ending this year without either sangui/vulkan or more info on the city of dust

[royal egret]

Well I got some bad news

[safe plover]

you always do 🚬

[simple cloud]

Every time u ask this the Emperor gives Dan Abnett writing block

The Bequin and the Death: Volume I: Part 1

(I would love this I don’t want Bequin to end)

[safe plover]

the thing is im pretty sure the third book would be massive

nothing is changing the entire plot as much as what the fuck is valdor doing

so makes sense they would try to finish other plot lines before that

so were not in a nemesis senario

[drowsy urchin]

maybe he's just bin chilling

[safe plover]

"oh they wanna kill horus huh"

i wonder if thatll work out

[tall phoenix]

yeah it'll go essentially nowhere probably

but its Abnett

so we'll see

[safe plover]

idk im pretty hopeful for valdor and the king in yellow line to be the next big thing

im saying they might not wanna pursue it further so it doesnt invalidate on going stories

[tall phoenix]

The next big thing is gonna be me blowing up your house

[safe plover]

🙄

you wont do shit without me you youll have to fight off the dan abnett stans alone

[tall phoenix]

To be fair I do like arguing with them and being autopilot'd in said arguments but true

[royal egret]

There’s nothing to argument about, he has the consensus of most of the fans, the authors, sales, reviews, and tenure in other media besides.

[tall phoenix]

There very much is, and the consensus existing doesnt really negate from his much weirder disliked habits and tropes among other stuff, so no lol

[royal egret]

If we’re disqualifying authors based off random weird quirks then I got some bad new about literally every prolific author ever

[tall phoenix]

Yeah its almost like no author is perfect.

Stop speaking in absolutes lol

[royal egret]

I’m not, I’m saying some random little issues I may have and me not liking all his books doesn’t change he’s still the best BL author and considered such by his peers, the company, and the community at large for a reason.

I don’t think he always knocks it out of the park and I definitely have issues with several of his books, just like I have issues with basically all the authors I love.

It’s all subjective but there’s a fair consensus across all those levels for a reason.

https://tenor.com/view/anyway-very-cool-artie-camden-artie-schitts-creek-henry-czerny-gif-20859173

Alright does anyone have any good Nid centric stuff to recommend, I finished a few Dawn of Fire books and I need a break

@tall phoenix You're the xenos expert do you know any good ones

[tall phoenix]

Uh depends on what you mean by Nid centric, im sure you know the rules already with them usually taking a backseat in most novels

[paper maple]

Yeah I know but anything digestible will do

[tall phoenix]

We had a few of us recommend some uptop like just a day ago hold on

[tall phoenix]

ıf you want something more basic-digetisble no pun intended probably get these short stories first, they got a lot of good Nid focuses in em

[paper maple]

Yea I already read Devastation and it was pretty boring shit so I dont really care about that one admittedly even though a lot of people recommended that

[tall phoenix]

If you want some Marine stuff sprinkled in I could also recommend the Leviathan novel, its prime slop but has some good bits for Marines/Tyranids both, its kinda the only major novel largely covering the 4th Tyrannic War atm

[paper maple]

Nah I want a break from astartes atm, I just read Broken Crusade to do my duty as a templar stan but will add that to my list

[tall phoenix]

Fair enough, up to you

[paper maple]

I will maybe get it later tho thanks for the recommendation

[tall phoenix]

[paper maple]

So these are all shorts tho ye?

[tall phoenix]

Basically. Its kinda the best format you can do with nids without a faction thats actually cognitive taking the spotlight so its the best you are gonna get

[paper maple]

Aight gotcha, they're pretty cheap so ill give em a look

[royal egret]

Devastation of Baal is still the best Nid book imo, as much as there is one

[paper maple]

I really didnt care much for it, the Nid parts were pretty lackluster

its also a Blood Angels book mainly so no interest in that even as i was reading it

[royal egret]

Arguably Valedor I guess then

[tall phoenix]

Yeah i literally only got it for BA when i first read it years ago

[royal egret]

I didn’t really like Leviathan

[paper maple]

Also read that, was alright.

[royal egret]

There isn’t really a proper nid book so you know

[tall phoenix]

Ultramarines somehow not knowing Nids are synaptic

[royal egret]

Yeaaaaahhh

[tall phoenix]

like

I assume the author just didnt know?

lol

I get that the first Tyrannic Wars are old lore sure but just read the fucking lexi

[simple spire]

Never really got into Warhammer before but just finished Horus Rising and I feel a lengthy lore addiction happening 🤪

[paper maple]

dont relapse

[cerulean peak]

They didn't have the red effect that's why

[tall phoenix]

LOL SHUT UP

[cerulean peak]

https://tenor.com/view/gadriel-space-marine-2-warhammer-space-marine-warhammer-40000-gif-336276864448769752

[tall phoenix]

i think the book does a good job of advertising 10th edition nids but the marine parts were ironically just whatever

like I like Ultramarines but man

[royal egret]

It’s up to you but I personally would recommend more 40k books before reading the heresy

[paper maple]

^

It will feel off once you start 40k

its a really common "symptom"

or whatever the best word for it is

[tall phoenix]

Yeah largely because the specific events in 30k got nothing to do with the wider current-ish universe

its a Clone Wars type of deal

[simple spire]

Well I was already half way through it when I started reading people saying this online, but too late now

[tall phoenix]

Yeah 😔

[paper maple]

Im not sure if its the best example but i can kinda agree ye, i read a majority of it when i get into 40k years ago so i might be biased

[tall phoenix]

Id comment but yeah basically, I gotta go back to movie-watching with my friend so

[cerulean peak]

that feel when Eldrad litterally said "in the grim darkness of the far future"

I thought the puns and quotes were over

[simple spire]

I was planning on just reading the first few, then moving on idk

[paper maple]

I mean its up to you

its 55+ fucking books

its kinda made to be in a candystore format

you pick what you like

[simple spire]

But the first 3 are linear right ?

[cerulean peak]

54 books + primarchs books + siege of terra

[paper maple]

Yeah they are

it all diverges AFTER the Dropshit Massacre

[cerulean peak]

First 3 are linear; 4th starts towards the end of book 3; 5 is in parralel of book 1-3

[simple spire]

Right okay

Well I could try something more recent because the first book did kinda conclude, didnt leave you hanging

[paper maple]

Yeah again its up to you

the best format to get into 40k is usually just getting into what faction you like the most and exploring from there tbh

[cerulean peak]

I alternate between 40k and the HH

I had knowledge of the setting beforehand though

[paper maple]

Also not a bad idea, that

[cerulean peak]

Or... he could just follow THE chart

[paper maple]

[simple spire]

I've seen the chart

[cerulean peak]

👀

[paper maple]

[simple spire]

It's intimidating

[paper maple]

its just horrible, honestly

[cerulean peak]

As it should be

Tbh just read the books in || release order|| and skip the bad ones / factions that you dont care

[paper maple]

^

Arbitrator Ian's mass-review is a really good way to also go about it

hes very honest lol

[cerulean peak]

It's not high litterature so with minimum reading comprehension, the non-linear nature of the books isn't an obstacle

[paper maple]

^

like the reality is a great majority of HH is simply Mid, theres some really good books in it but its like 15 out of 55+

the absolutely awful ones are universally panned so its easy to avoid them at least (||aka Salamanders/Dark Angels||)

[cerulean peak]

This. I used his video to cull the series down to the books that interested me and I am in the process of reading the chosen ones in release order

[simple spire]

Well I really enjoyed the first one

[paper maple]

Well yeah its peak

natural opinion

Nobody hates the first few books because they were meticulously planned

it only goes bananas after that

[cerulean peak]

Usually the avoided ones are most of the short stories, salamanders, dark angels, battle of the abyss, nemesis, damnation of pythos

[simple spire]

Well apart from the knowing what Warhammer is and playing dawn of war like 15 odd years ago, ready to soak it all in

[cerulean peak]

Just enjoy and do not forget it was all made to sell plastic models. So just enjoy the ride

[paper maple]

This yep.

People act like HH is some peak Odyssey tier fiction when its just action-toys fighting each other lol so just go with the flow of what you wanna read really

[simple spire]

Well I guess the books have to be somewhat good then, otherwise people won't wanna buy shit unless they play the game

[cerulean peak]

The books are not bad per se

Most of them (not all of them) are overrated or underrated

This applies to 40k books too

I've read "good" warhammer books that were mid and "bad" ones that surprised me because the comments are usually biaised

[simple spire]

Well I don't read often but I do read a few books a year atleast and this caught my attention, like I want to know more, which is a good thing, anything that gets me into reading more 🤣

[cerulean peak]

That's great. As long as people are reading that's good

[simple spire]

Then I will end up buying a favourite character and painting it and GW will have their mission complete 🤣

[cerulean peak]

I worked in a bookstore when I was younger and sometimes parents were telling me they were worried because their kids were reading "simple books". I usually told them that reading easy books is 100 times better than not reading at all

[simple spire]

I mean I'm going to be honest plenty of words in that book that just went straight over my head 🤣

[cerulean peak]

That's a writer thing

[simple spire]

Mainly the descriptives

[cerulean peak]

Dan abnett is known for that

Since the HH was written by so many different authors; it varies wildly in quality, pace and mood. That's also a factor as of why the books rating are so controversial

Just ask @tall phoenix about Dan Abnett 🙂

[tall phoenix]

I dont hate Abnett I just hate his quirks

he definitely has his boomer moments tho

[cerulean peak]

I was thinking about the "complex words" discussion that happened not too long ago

[tall phoenix]

To be fair that was just stupid

[cerulean peak]

He does enjoy his words

[simple spire]

It was mainly the first chapter, I was thinking is the whole book going to be like this 😭

[tall phoenix]

"people can just look up the egyptian word for lapis lazuli"

[tall phoenix]

LMAO

FYI hes a harvard graduate

so he very much is up his own ass sometimes but it has its positives and negatives, usually the prior

[orchid herald]

why look it up when you can no what it is

[tall phoenix]

yeah its just a dumb argument

[simple spire]

Kindles are handy, you just click the word 😌

[tall phoenix]

I read from a shitty epub app on my phone so i cant 😭

[orchid herald]

don't you carry a encyclopaedia britania with you?

[royal egret]

https://tenor.com/view/walter-white-falling-fast-gif-18043850

Mfw I was enjoying a good book but then I didn’t know one word which is easy to figure out with basic context so it’s ruined now

[cerulean peak]

[royal egret]

Also just play Minecraft smh

[simple spire]

Pretty sure you can pick up an old kindle for like £10 on marketplace

[orchid herald]

the worst one's are when you get into the gothic section of some 40k books, beacuse latin they fail at, it latin but the translation of latin to english is not enough really

[tall phoenix]

Nobody said its ruined, its just stupid

like why is it so bad that I dont know some archaic word

and dont wanna get off my ass to google it in a section im reading lol

[royal egret]

Unironically though it’s probably one of the more known of “obscure” colors these days

Just because Minecraft

[orchid herald]

i mean archic words are the best you just use it when you run out of regular words

[tall phoenix]

the word is right

** hsbd-iryt**

[royal egret]

It’s just he’s using it to describe a power blades hue so like, it’s not hard to figure out what it means

[tall phoenix]

like

what?

[tall phoenix]

Again. It isnt "hard to figure out" thats the issue.

Its why even use this random ass word

if you wanna be artsy just use something else

[royal egret]

Because it’s fun

[tall phoenix]

For you i guess

fucking " hsbd-iryt", get outta here

[simple spire]

You guys didn't get Latin at school ? Heathens

[royal egret]

Its a perfectly cromulent usage of the word

[oak pollen]

its not Latin iirc

[tall phoenix]

its ancient egyptian

[oak pollen]

ye

[tall phoenix]

truly im uncultured

[royal egret]

It’s Persian

[tall phoenix]

eh same thing

[oak pollen]

kekw

[tall phoenix]

[royal egret]

See this is why you should read these Dilara

You might learn

Dangerous pastime but

[cerulean peak]

What? You don't hsbd-iryt? ||pathetic||

[tall phoenix]

I learned enough in architecture universities, last thing i care about is history

[tall phoenix]

[oak pollen]

Dan wrote the line in question right?

[tall phoenix]

Yeah he did

he does it a lot

[cerulean peak]

Based

[tall phoenix]

sometimes its great sometimes it reaches grognard levels

[tall phoenix]

🤝

but like again, Harvard graduate so its expected

[oak pollen]

and he studied at the same university as Tolkien correct?

[tall phoenix]

Uhhh not sure on that one

[oak pollen]

well if its Harvard then no it wasnt

[tall phoenix]

lol wait its not even harvard

its Oxford

[oak pollen]

ok so yes it was

[tall phoenix]

explains even more

[cerulean peak]

Abnett doesn't compare to Tolkien lol

[tall phoenix]

Also that yeah

[cerulean peak]

Tolkien has finesse

[oak pollen]

yup, it has to be an Oxford thing, both have a similar writing style i found

[cerulean peak]

Abnett just shoves tryhard words
