I’d like to try reading some fiction in the 40k universe and was wondering if anyone has some recommendations. There’s a lot of books to decide between so I’m a bit lost. There’s also the humble book bundle going on right and it looks like it might be a good deal, but I’m not familiar with any of the authors. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Edit: following the advice in the responses, I got the humble bundle and am starting out with spear of the emperor. Thanks for all the advice! Definitely want to give eisenhorn a read sometime if I can find an epub at a good price.

There’s usually one or two bundles a year that give you plenty to read. I have so much content from the last few years.

There are so many entry points that if you don’t have a very specific desire it doesn’t matter a ton where you start.

Warhammer 40k

!warhammer40k@lemmy.world

Create post

A community dedicated to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a tabletop setting in the far, distant future.

This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.

Rules

  1. Keep it civil.
  2. No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
  3. Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
  4. No political or social cause agenda pushing.
