What's the hype among these series? Or is it more for the table-top?
>>24945732Shut the fuck up?
>>24945732It's a crop-top table-top slop bop, Pork Chop.
>>24945732>paying to read marketing material designed to promote dolls for men
>>24945772that's not why warhammer is badwarhammer is bad because it reads like an obnoxious buddhist sutra (all of them) where 2 pages of stylized formalized greeting take place before anyone actually conveys any information. for the same reason it will some day be incredibly popular with women once they change the color palate, because the way in which two characters meet in a 40k scene is virtually identical to how two women meet irl and communicate, with 15 minutes of socially expected questions/pleasantries/formalities >how are you how is he hope thats well etc etc. >by the emporer, praise sigmar, hail (rank), it trust that (thing we already know both characters know)a very girly series. watch it happen.
>>24945732>>>/tg/Seriously. They talk about this slop with love and can guide you.
>>24945732I started reading Horus Rising and I am really enjoying. Simply a fun book.
>>24946265Based
>>24945732It's more about the massive Horus Heresy series these days than 40k proper. Which is ironic because HH benefits if you're familiar with the setting itself since the entire thing is a prequel. They're re-printing 12 supposedly core novels.
>>24946269I decided I'm only going to read fun adventure books this winter. Its been a great decision; I recommend it.
>>24945732>Or is it more for the table-top?Hahahhahahahaha>What's the hype among these series?The vibe, I guess.>>24946272>black library >reprinting Is there a hostage situation in their headquarters?
>>24945778They get paid per word.
>>24946272>They're re-printing 12 supposedly core novels.Fucking finally.
>>24946272So from what I got this series are needlessly long and enjoy wasting the readers time. Is this supposed to be an abridgment? I have some patience reading slop but not 25,000 pages of it.
>>24945732>What's the hype among these series?
>>24945732Read either one of these>Ciaphas Cain>Helsreach>Eisenhorn >Gaunt's Ghosts They are all short (200-300 pages) and if you didn't like them then you can discard pretty much the entire setting since you will most likely not enjoy reading anything else.
I haven’t read one in a long time but I remember the appeal.>because it’s a franchise property most of the writers assume the reader has a basic familiarity with the setting, allowing them to dive into plots and more esoteric lore that in a standalone sci book would require a lot of basic worldbuilding (what is the imperium of man, what is chaos, what are space marines, etc)>sometimes reading about 8 foot tall armored knights stomping unambiguously evil foes to death is nice. If I only ever read intellectual literature with no genre breaks I might stop reading altogether.>a handful of the books are genuinely good, (Eisenhorn, Ciaphas Cain, fire caste)
>>24946395I think the Horus shitshow spans over sixty books. It's not worth reading.
>>24946272Read the first 50 pages of Horus Heresy and loved it, the invisible enemy, the setting, the brotherhood in the war against the false emperor, then I had to delete. I just need some good male friends, I can't read about what they have and I lack.
