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.
I actually stalled out on the Horus Heresy as my entry point into WH40k. I absolutely devoured Gaunt’s Ghosts though. Military sci-fi told from the perspective of a regiment of Imperial Marines and their commissar/officer, Ibram Gaunt.
