The Horus Heresy!!! NO SPOILERS PLEASE

Has anyone read the Horus Heresy novels?

I have read "Horus rising", and I am half way through "False Gods". Man I am enjoying these novels!!

It is awesome how Chaos is an un-known force to the marines and how the Sons of Horus are having to come up to speed quickly!
I am really finding these novels are raising my hatred of Daemons beyond levels I ever thought possible!! And those are some high levels considering the fact I am a Brother Grey Knight

Does anyone have any comments on "Horus Rising" ?
I am getting some awesome ideas for the fluff of my GK force!!

I loved the books. Only Flight of the Eisenstein was a sometimes littlebit longbreathed written. Wait until you came to Fulgrim and Legion. Man, you will love those two books. Descent of Angels was the worst of all. I see it not really as a book that fits in the serie of the HH novels.

In Horus Rising the scene when Horus and the Sons of Horus arrived on high orbit on Murder and the scene when Torgaddon and Lord Commander Eidolon meet on Murder had been my favorite. But the first three books are all very good to read. And i hate Erebus much more then i already did. The Emperor had better send us SW against the Word Bearers then the TSons.

I hope for a nice book about the Razing of Prospero.

Murder was an awesome part of the HH novel, and the way it turned out to be an "exile" planet, and a waste of time was crazy!

I have just read up tp the part in "false Gods" where Horus fought Nurgle-Leth on Davin's moon, he is currently in terrible condition and talking to his personal rememberancer.

I am thinking that I might base my fluff around this Nurgle Daemon, as he is one of the first to "plauge" the imperium , and a worthy advasery to the Grey Knights

My favorite part in False Gods was the short intermezzo of Magnus the Red and Ahriman. From all traitor legions the TSons are tho most tragical one. If the Emperor had not send the SW against Prospero one more Legion had been on loyal side.

I love the Horus Heresy series more than I can say. They are so brilliantly written and are the most amazing inspiration to start a Pre-Heresy Marine force. I havn't finished them yet but I've got up to Fulgrim and I can't wait to read the rest.

I really hope you enjoy this series as much as I did.

Just got Battle for the Abyss & I'm really enjoying the series so far, I agree that Descent of Angels was the weakest book so far. Still good read though.

I just finished Dark gods!!!!!!!!!!
What are you doing Horus!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, I am enjoying these books!!!
I now toooooottally hate the Word Bearers, and feel bad for the Thousand Sons (Heresy?) Horus set them up!!! He lied to Russ in order to keep his true intentions secret!!!

I am just about to start Galaxy in flames. What's going to happen next?
(don't answer that last question please!! LOL !!)

Believe me, they´re all (with the exception of Descent of Angels) fantastic but Legion would be a biiiiiiiiiggggggg surprise for you. I loved that book. Dan Abnett had done a real fantastic job with Legion.

Legion is very cool, it's really confusing so you never really know which marine Alpharius really is untill the end. I'm tempted to get an Alpha Legion army now, and call all my models Alpharius.

I have read too the book Fulgrim.
(I think that's the name)

But then my financial crisis started and i haven't been able too buy the other books.

Now i suddently wondered.

-Why didn't i borrow the books?

Who knows!

Borrow them if you can Brother Klomster!!! I have a hard time not knowing what happens next!!! I don't know how you are copeing without continuing to read these books

So far I've read Horus Rising, Galaxy in Flames, Fulgrim and Legion and I borrowed all of them - libraries are very helpfull, so long as you return them on time.

What order do these novels go in?

Thank you Brother Dark Bjoern

When mechanicum comes out, i don't think i will be able too restrain myself.

I am really enjoying finding out all of the background stories that these novels provide I also think it is wicked seeing how the now traitorous mrines were before their fall (Kharn, lucius, Horus etc...)

Spoiler:

I am freakin' out!!! These novels are Awesome!!!!

It's just to bad I am in the middle of moving and have a final at Uni on Thursday!!!

- Added Spoilers, please no spoilers about anything in the plot, lets not ruin it for the people still reading the book. - Legion Of Light

I think you are on one of the best books, I am on Battle of the Abyss at the moment and I feel they are still great books but the first ones were frickin awesome, thinkign about it it is not they are not good but they are differant but I shall leave it at that, but glad you are enjoying them no hurry up and catch up so we can discuss them.

I agree with Spartan about Battle for the Abyss. It´s good but not one of the best. Ok, Legion and Fulgrim are hard to top.

Possible SPoiler but not plot related.






I think I prefered the first 4 books the most as it had loads of AStartes in and large battle, how it is supposed to be.

To me it is like we have had the wind before the storm now we are in the calm and soon we will have the storm which will be the Terra attack

I am almost half through Flight of the Eisenstien
It is a good read, I am definatly not dissapointed yet.
I just read on BOLS that Battle for the Abyss isn't very good
I think I will wait to read it myself before I worry too much about it's reviews. I think that a Word Bearers V's Ultramarines novel should be able to write itself, and I am a fan of Ben Counter, so i'm sure I wont be dissapointed.
I agree that the battle for Terra should be AMAZING!!!! I wonder who will write it It should be awesome with Sanguinius killing Blood Thirsters, and huge siege machines all over the place, not to mention the battle between Horus and the Emperor!!

I found the review of BOLS a littlebit harsh. Like i said before, not the best book of the serie but still good.

I agree am two thirds through it and I thinks its good actually prefer it to Legion

i have read, in order, up to the end of Fulgrim... I really feel sorry for that guy, his vanity and love for Horus caused his fall.

I hate the Word Bearers! Which i am impressed with, take me allot to get that much emotion from a book
