It’s also very well written and conceived. Its fresh and new and shiny and adds a lot of depth to the background. I have to say that unlike the codexes this is not the same endlessly repeated and rehashed fluff we find in the 40K setting. All this is illustrated with stunning colour plates and the distinctive Forge World style photo-real art we know and love.
It details their creation, the story of their Primarch, notable battles and so on. Next, each book also has a section on two or three Legions.
THE HORUS HERESY BOOKS FULL
They are really well done and full of grimdark flavour. Complete with pretend documents, intercepted transmissions and fake dispatches. The books contain firstly an account of part of the Heresy, with ‘historical’ battles and their causes, results and ramifications described in the journalistic style you’ll be familiar with from Imperial Armour books. They are the most delightful thing a Warhammer 30K player could imagine like beautiful arcane Space Hulks made from the crushed together bodies of kittens and candy.
Oh you want more? OK well the Black Books, and there are now 7, soon to be 8, are marvelous agglutinations of rules, narratives and artwork. The Black Books are big and black, and the Red Books are not quite as big and red. Yeah, it’s about lots of things, but first come the books since you can’t play without them, and there are SO MANY!!! Red Books and Black BooksĬonveniently the books are divided into two types. So, if Warhammer 30k is about one thing it’s about books.
