To be fair, they kept promising big sweeping changes to WHFB and then disappointing the fans b forgetting about that (Albion and Storm of Chaos), so credit for actually doing something, it's just the thing was rubbish.
I've heard they might go back because Total is not set in Age of Sigmar and would just confuse people if they moved from the game to real lifeI'm not into Fantasy but I remember they basically exploded the entire universe or something, and started this Age of Sigmar thing.
It even has Sigmarines! I mean... Stormcast Eternals...
They did have a squat character (maybe Forge World) for new Necromunda a little while ago.They should bring back the Squats. And Zoats.![]()
That’s a dwarf, Dorn.They should bring back the Squats.![]()
You could move on to the Ravenor and Bequin trilogies. Not as good, but similiar enough.I feel like reading some Warhammer books.
I've read the Eisenhorn trilogy and really enjoyed it. As far as my familiarity with the universe, I've played a couple of Warhammer 40K games (currently playing Darktide with some friends), but I don't have a huge familiarity with the overall lore of the universe.
Any recommendations? I've heard people really like Ciaphus Cain (it was described to me as "Blackadder in space") and I was also recommended Brothers of the Snake and Spears of the Emperor. What would be the best to read for someone who doesn't already have a lot of 40K backstory in their brain?
It doesn't really matter if you have much 40K lore on the brain as Black Library writers tend to ignore or just change it when it suits them.Any recommendations?

Similar but not as good isn't really what I'm looking for. I'd rather have different but better.You could move on to the Ravenor and Bequin trilogies. Not as good, but similiar enough.
Honestly, you can stop after The Flight of the Eisenstein, secure in the knowledge that you've read the best book in the series and avoided a lot of crap that reads like fanfic.The Horus Heresy books are probably a good idea if you want to go deep. There are a fuckton of them of varying quality but the first 5 or 6 are all generally pretty good and explain a lot
Having read some of the earlier books, I'd agree with that. And I didn't think that was a great book, just the best of the early ones, not having read the later ones because I've read the early ones.Honestly, you can stop after The Flight of the Eisenstein, secure in the knowledge that you've read the best book in the series and avoided a lot of crap that reads like fanfic.
Fuck me, there are 62 of them atm.Having read some of the earlier books, I'd agree with that. And I didn't think that was a great book, just the best of the early ones, not having read the later ones because I've read the early ones.
Yeah I know lots of people who want to get into Horus Heresy and its like...well, see you sometime in the Fall, you got a lot of work to catch up on.Fuck me, there are 62 of them atm.
