| Branko2166 said: @Killy_Vorkosigan There is definitely an inconsistency but it is to be expected considering there are multiple authors. I only recently got into reading the warhammer 40K books. Before that I would spend hours reading the fluff on lexicanum and other sites. At the moment besides fear to tread which I am finding really well done I am also reading the Primarchs which is a series of short stories. I was actually considering getting Prospero burns because I find the space wolves interesting. I haven't read Battlefield Gothic yet. I also purchased the Horus heresy book "Betrayal" from forgeworld although it is fairly expensive. Half of the book is fluff and the rest is detailed info on units, campaigns and rules. But it was an impulse by on my part :) |
I love Space Wolves. Dwarves runes, Viking mythology, long beards, and super awesomeness of half wolf murderers.
However, I did not really like Prospero Burns. Again, there's not a lot of battles, the interest of the couple Thousand sons/Prospero burns lying in the explanation of the roots of the hate between both Legion, and telling the same stories from both point of view.
I had much more fun reading the Space Wolves Omnibus. More fights, more tense situation. Again, Horus Heresy books are imho like an episode of Saint Seiya. Nothing happens, but there's a few seconds of battles which are epic. Best comparison I can find ^^
Also, try audiobooks if you can. The one with the Blood Angel is brillant, also Corax's story on Istvaan V is just insane, while it's completely skipped in the book Deliverance.
