This is actually super helpful, thanks a lot.
There is still dross in there, but its semi required for the overall narrative.
I honestly don’t know how Black Library allowed the HH saga to get so bloated. Do they honestly think anybody but the slimmest minority will read all 50-odd books? I like 40K, and would definitely read fifty 40K books, but if somebody told me they were all in the same saga — and therefore all important and required reading — I would stay the fuck away.
Well anyone who said every book is required is fucking with you
I kinda think the HH should of been just a overall grouping instead of trying to make it one series. Based on how the first 3 books played out I'd argue that the whole thing should of been separate trilogies for each primarch and legion and a few stand alone books that cover a specific individual or event because lets be honest some primarchs/legions aren't that interesting and are entirely skippable (looking at you Manus).
The audiobook collection makes it a tolerable background task just saying.
I fucking hate Angron it absolutely saddens me that lack any teased loyalist descendents. That legion bent over backwards for that baby and they still get fucked.
I like the idea of the MM being loyalist IW, because they're quite similar in outlook. I've heard they're actually loyalist Death Guard though, which doesn't make as much sense since the MM lack the stoicism of the Death Guard.
The audiobook collection seems to be short stories though. Are they related to the huge HH series?
Every HH book has an audio book. The collection might just be short stories, because every HH book is like 10 hours long if narrated.
The one from audiobookbay was every single book, complete.
Yeah, if you don’t mind, I’m on an audiobook kick and would love that. Thanks!
The only two Word Bearers I know that have some semblance of loyalty to The Emperor are Barthusa Narek (who correctly ascertains that worst thing to happen to the XVII Legion was being reunited with Lorgar, thus wants to kill Lorgar for taking the legion down the path of damnation) and The Anchorite, a Word Bearer Contemptor Dreadnought who rejected the teachings of Lorgar and embraced the worship of the God-Emperor. Apparently, The Anchorite surrendered during the Horus Heresy (Guilliman surprisingly spared him) and has been serving penance in solitary confinement. He did, however, fight alongside Imperium forces in the 41st Millennium when the Word Bearers invaded his prison world in order to bring The Anchorite back to Sicarus. During the battle, The Anchorite slew many of his former brothers before returning to self-confinement.
Yeah, those are the two I meant. I'd like to see them do more with the Anchorite, tbh. He's an interesting character.
It's just the HH stuff isn't it?
