The Start of Things

Author's note: So- I was thinking of how to start the Ultra-moo-rines. And got bitten by the World Building bug.

Summary: An Aspirant reads about the Holy and Wretched primarchs, and the blessings (and curses) they bestow upon their gene-lines.

Warnings: None? Let me know if I need to add anything.

The pages of a book are being read by an Aspirant, his eyes glance around, and he perks up and eagerly reads the words- this is about some of the most Holy of beings- The Primarchs.

The Nine Holy Primarchs, and the nine Wretched Demon Primarchs were all given many traits and genetic advantages (and some disadvantages) given to them by the tinkering of the God Emperor for a thousand years of toil and care.

The First Legion are the Sons of The Lion- the Dark Angels, and their successor chapters are occasionally blessed with The Lion's gift. The claws and ferocity of the Lion himself, getting retractable claws, among other gifts.

This Is Known. There are lesser-known traits to this Gift that are kept secret from those outside the gene-line of El Johnson. The Aspirant huffs a little, he's heard from his older brothers that the Blood Angels are a very paranoid and secretive lot.

B̵͚̄̔ͅr̵̡̹͖̯̮͉̹̙͔̜͇͍̒̈́͋̒͒̾͛̆̚ó̵̧̥͎̖̳̘̫̎̆͂͊̾͘͠w̶̡͔̣̲͐̔̏̀̂͒n̶̢̻͔̤̉ ̷̨̛̛͓̪̟̫̤͈̼̺̝̙̈́͐́̆̒̿̃̓̑̒̍͠͝B̶̧̧̧̫̫̜̘̱͇̥̫̫̺̲̝͕͔̈́̀̿̊͗̿͆͛͂̕͝͝è̷̡̧̢̧̧͙͕͎̖͔̞̘̿̓͂͐̓̍͋̍̒̽̈́a̵̛̩̦̅̈́̐̔̽́͐̂͛̓̑̾̕͝͠ŗ̵̛̛̞̱̠̱͖̱͔̞͉̯̗̫̼̮̈̓̽̓͐͐̿̈͒͘ By Order of the God Emperor this information has been redacted.. The Aspirant quickly flips to the next section- his brain had started hurting when he'd tried to read the words of the second Primarch. There is no Second Primarch, there never was a second Primarch.

The Third legion, fallen to Chaos, is that of the cursed traitor demon Primarch Fulgrim is a wretched lowly creature, whose scales of purple, the snake, is indeed a snake. Those of his wretched gene-like are occasionally cursed with the form of a snake.

This is Known. There are some lesser-known abilities and traits that the Cursed Traitors use against their enemies, should they have the snake-like traits. The Aspirant scowls angry, clenching their free hand into a fists.

The Fourth Legion, fallen to Chaos is the wretched traitor demon primarch Perturabo is known to have a prickly nature- and massive spines that he can shoot out at that will and will kill a full-grown Astarte if he aims well.

Woe be upon those in battle unlucky enough to fight against those Warriors of Iron who also have the quills of death. The Aspirant shivers a little and murmurs a quick prayer to the God Emperor- so that his brothers don't have to face such a wretched enemy.

The fifth legion, is that of Jaghatai Khan is one of the Loyal Primarchs, ever the fastest and most fleet of foot and of ship of his brothers- he ever charges forth fighting the enemies of the Imperium.

His sons are ever hopeful that one day their Lord Primarch shall return, when the need for him is greatest. What is Known of the Blessing of the Khan- is hooves that stomp- and speed unmatched.

This is Known, there are other lesser-known traits that the mysterious sons of the Khan keep to themselves and their successor chapters. The Aspirant hopes that one day, the mighty Khan will come back and help the Imperium become great again.

The Sixth legion is that of Leman Russ is one of the Loyal Primarchs. Stalwart and Stubborn, clever and fierce. A Mighty wolf- and that is a strong blessing indeed- he has given to his sons.

Those who are given the Blessing of the Wolf- have claws and fangs. A tougher hide to withstand the bitter cold of Fenris. This is Known. there are other lesser-known traits that the Space wolves and their successor chapters keep, for their own reasons.

One will never know what kind of answer you will get out of a Space Wolf- their answers very, be wary of their quick, sharp tempers. The aspirant is glad that he's not of the line of Russ- dogs are nice and all, but very smelly.

The Seventh legion was the Imperial fists and their successor chapters. Rogal Dorn- the stalwart and stubborn defender of Terra, the Praetorian.

The Blessing of Dorn is that of a Mighty white polar bear, one of the apex predators of Inuit. The claws and strength enhance an Astartes to great levels.

The roar sends their enemies running from their sight. This is Known. It is said that there may be lesser-known gifts to this trait, but none outside of the Sons of Dorn know what they are.

It is said that all that remained of him was a bloodied, gauntlet fist and arm. The Aspirant wilts a little, he's a young Black Templar Aspirant, and he hopes that his Lord Father will one day return.

The wicked, cursed, corruptm and cruel fallen renegade 8th legion and their dead Primarch Konrad Curze. The bats who hunt and lurk in the dark. Beware their stare- and their ever hungry, hunting gaze. This is Known.

No one knows what other horrors lurk within the 8th legion, for those that try, never return. The Aspirant shivers a little and murmurs another prayer to the God Emperor.

The nineth Legion, and one of the First Founded Chapters, The Blood Angels, and their beloved, fallen, loyal Primarch Sanguinius. With those sons who gain such a blessing are excetionally rare.

The wings of Sanguinius marks out a brother of that chapter for all to see. This is Known, other lesser-known abilities granted aren't spoken of to outsiders.

The Aspirant gives a respectful pause, woe and weep, weft and moan. The loss of the Great Angel is still affecting his sons to this day, or so the whispers say.

The tenth legion- the Iron hands, are said to lament the death of the holy Primarch Ferrus Manus. Who was slain by his traitor brother Fulgrim.

It is said that some of his sons are blessed with skin hard as Iron. This is Known, what other traits this blessing gives them, they don't speak of to Outsiders.

The Aspirant shrugs a little- Ceramite is a protective second skin to most Astartes- so having actual Iron skin sounds painful or miserable to them. Not that they'd say such a potentially heretical thing out loud, of course.

R̷̼̼̺̞͚̮̼̝̯̹̔͂̆̈́̌́̿̊̈́̈́̀̒ę̷̧̪̝̟̰̺̬͔̾̐̀͜͝i̶̲͔͇̮̠̦͙͊͛͌̉̓́͐̓͌́͆̊n̸̛̠̹̤̭̻̮̖̭͔̰̬̖̑̔̀͂̎̅̈́̌̕͜d̸̨̧̥̺̞̖̬͓̼̠̥̰̬̏̇̅̅͊̔͊͊̚e̷̢͈̼͉̤̟̝͓̓ͅȩ̵̳͉̜̜̖̲͖̘͍͕̋̆̉̀̆͋͝ͅr̸̼̊͐̈́̅͊̿̃͐̃̔͂̅̀̎̈́͠͠ Redacted per the Orders of the Emperor. There has never been an eleventh legion. There never will be an eleventh legion. The Aspirant shudders and flips to the next page. Perhaps he should go to an Apothecary, as that's the second time he had a sudden headache at trying to read something that isn't there.

The fallen, traitors, those disgusting, wrathful, blood covered creatures, Angron- the red Angel, is a mockery, of the Saintly Sanguinius.

This legion is sometimes cursed with the form of a Quokka. No one knows, or at least remembers what form this curse gives those that receive it.

The mad berserkers enjoy killing and murder, blood and skulls for their depraved rituals. As the Aspirant reads the page on this legion he grimaces- as well as the warnings on the page about the difference between Righteous Wrath and Sinful wrath are expounded upon.

The Holy Primarch Roboute Gulliman, the Avenging Son, the Lord of Ultramar and his sons. His many blessed sons, those of The Ultramarines and his successor chapters are many and vast.

The Blessings of the Avenging Son are manifold and can take different forms. Robust and with a complex social hierarchy, the Sons of Ultramar are more able to socialize with their brothers, even those from very far-flung parts of Imperium. This is Known.

The Aspirant frowns scratching his head, the actual creature or bug or something wasn't spoken of in this book. Which he wondered why that was.

Surely whatever creature it is, it would be as noble and powerful as the rest of the Holy Primarchs? A creature of power and strength, not all of them are predators, but are powerful all the same.

The Aspirant had checked- the Author of this version of the Primarchs and First Founding and the Blessings is a Son of Guilliman, which means the author surely knows. He wonders why it was deliberately left out.

He flips the page to the next chapter and reads about the disgusting, traitors, those fallen, bloated undead creatures of the 14th legion and their disgusting Demon Primarch Mortarion.

The Sons of this cursed, fallen legion are sometimes granted the features of a goat. The horns and unsettling eyes of the creature. This is Known. What other abilities this grant, no one in this time knows any more.

The aspirant shudders and sends a quick prayer to the God Emperor, he's heard whispers from his older brothers about how bad those disgusting, bloated corpses can be to try and fight against.

The shattered, fallen 15th legion, those wretched unfaithful psykers and their lost Primarch Magnus. What little is remembered and Known about them is the bird-like wings of ab Ibis and claws are sometimes granted.

The Aspirant finds it an Insult that those wretched traitors also sometimes have bird-like features. For the Holy Angels of the Imperium should be the ones with that blessing, and not any sort of traitors should.

The Sixteenth legion, those lying treacherous dogs, and their dead primarch, slain by the God Emperor themselves. Are occasionally cursed with the form of a hound. They can howl, shriek and hunt after those the find as prey.

This is Known. None alive can remember if those wretched dogs gain more than that. The Aspirant scowls and spits out a curse to that damned legion, and their hand in the interment of Him on Terra.

The Fierce and loyal Salamanders and their Loyal Primarch Vulkan are occasionally blessed with hides of sparkling green scales and the ability to breath fire. This is Known. There may be some other lesser-known blessings of this Primarch.

Be cautious of the temper of the Dragons of Nocturne and their successor chapters. The Aspirant winces, he's heard some of the stories of the Dragons- how kind they are to mortals, and how harsh their fury and judgment of their fellow Astartes can be.

The Holy Primarch Corvus Corax and his sons fly on silent, swift dark wings of a Raven. This is Known. If there is any other lesser-known blessings, the silent, stealthy sons of the Raven Lord don't speak of it to outsiders.

The Aspirant huffs, so many of the First Founding chapters are close-mouthed about just what they are capable of. It's frustrating, even if it's sensible from a strategic standpoint.

The 20th legion. Those traitors. Those L̷̗͚̙͓̭̺̤̭̣̤̝͍͚̘͕͓͗̏͘ớ̵̧̧̧̼̤͔̥̩̟́̍͌̾̒͗̅̇͑̕̚y̴̝͇͕̮̩͙̌̒̎̿̆̚̕͝a̶͉̠̩̹̳̭̮͙̔̓͑̌̓̑̈l̸̜̦̜̹̟̓̈́̿ḭ̶̢̣̮̟̯̟̱͙̼̍̈́̃̉̄s̷̖͕̠̖̗͒̋͑t̷̟̝͎̥͔̰͕̖̿͘͜ş̶̢̤̘̼͓̝͙̫͔̫͕̪̓̈́͘͝.

Vulcan: I see, but perhaps you have forgotten a small but very important detail, brother.

Kurze: and what is that?

Vulcan: My hammer is also- a hammer.

Propaganda

Heinz Doofenshmirtz: He has a tragic backstory. It’s so tragic that not even his parents showed up for his birth. He also has a found family of ocelots! And a nemesis with whom he has a mildly homoerotic rivalry. He predictably gets his plans utterly decimated each time, but he never gives up! Give the guy props for tenacity. He’s also legitimately good at building crazy machines, his downfall is his habit of building self-destruct buttons. He’s ridiculous. He tries so hard. He’s such a babygirl.

“Give me a moment alone with him. He will see the light,”

- To the Emperor, regarding a recalcitrant allied Warlord.

“Better terror than slaughter. Better atrocity than genocide.”

- to Malcador

“One day, he will be wrong. And on that day… Those who have no reason to fear will suddenly discover it. I flatter myself to believe that, in already being disturbed by the possibility, I might comport myself with marginally more control.”

- on Horus

“Love him? Yes. I love my Father. Believe him? That is far more complicated. I believe his intentions are good and his logic sound. His willingness to embrace half truths to accomplish it… a grave strategic blunder.”

- to the Second Primarch

“I am something of an expert in the psyche, as well you know, brother. And I will tell you something I would rarely allow to slip from betwixt my lips. To see a soul so genuinely invested in the well being of others is as unsettling to the human mind as the presence of a psychotic. Both are cut from a similar cloth, you see. Aberrations, as it were. Frankly, he terrifies me. I am more comfortable in the presence of a psychic null.”

- to Sanguinius on Vulkan

[2lim3rz]

Thinking about how the Primarchs (especially Horus) are so strong they’d be able to just manhandle you during sex.. they’re easily able to flip you around, pin you down, pull your legs open.. like these guys are the ultimate powertops when they wanna be lmao

"When they wanna be" is accurate because I can't see Lorgar and hmmm

Lorgar and maybe 1 other (one of the Twins?) not really dominating when in bed

"B-But Slimers, clearly Konrad-"

Look me in the eyes, anon, look me in the eyes and tell me Konrad wouldn't be pelvic bones turned to dust feral, and thus, not taking control of the situation?

Though because I'm also on this tangent, I can easily see some primarchs (Horus and MAYBE, just MAYBE if out of pure curiosity, Magnus) letting you take the reigns if only to later put you under their control

Also can you just IMAGINE, BEAR WITH ME, IMAGINE

Sanguinius

You imagine him to be soft, gentle

And he is!

For the first five minutes

Hand Holding headcanons Primarch Edition

hi hello personal HCs for how the primarchs hold hands lets go (can be seen as romantic or platonic)

Lion El Jonson- He doesn't hold hands. If he wants your attention he'll just grab you or gaze broodily in your direction. If he likes you enough he might awkwardly pat your hand during a moment of severe emotional intensity.

Fulgrim- holds hands like true noble. Barely touching, light. Only using the tips of his fingers. Like how how a footman might assist a princess stepping out of a carriage. All regal airs and barely contained politeness. You WILL help him down the stairs like a good manservant.

Perturabo- Crushingly strong and hot as a furnace. Holds your hand with his entirety. Hands rough and calloused, but oddly comforting. Kinda sweaty. Subconsciously squeezes harder the more wound up he gets. Hand Hold Danger Level of about 6

Jagatai Khan- Has a surprisingly gentle touch but if he grabs your hand its because yall are about to start running so you better hang on. Holding hands with him isn't a comfort its a warning of impending shenanigans.

Leman Russ- 50/50 chance of breaking your hand when he goes to hold it. Too warm and enthusiastic, like getting your hand crushed by a giant toddler. You're not getting comforted you're about to get swung around his head like a toy.

Rogal Dorn- Might not be into hand touching, but also might try. Has to do it right. Proper grip and proper amount of pressure. Perfect on a technical level but emotionally detached. He will also instruct you on your own hand placement, for optimal holding. You WILL get a survey afterwards to rate how he did.

Konrad Kurze- you're never getting that hand back.

Sanguiny- His touch is soft and warm, and he'll hold you for as long as you need him too. Whether its relaxing at home or going to the dentist he will be there, tracing comforting circles on your skin with his thumb. Hand Holding Danger Level of 0. He knows how to do it. You can also hold his hand while he's anxious and he will greatly appreciate it, fingers interlocked loosely with yours.

Ferrus Manus- See's hand holding as a competition. Refuses to control his grip strength. Always keeps his hand in an eagle-claw formation for max grip. Only the strongest, with fingies of steel, may hold his hand. WILL judge you if you complain or try to correct him. Not a fun experience unless you like hand-fighting and arguing.

Angron- Looks scary, like he will bite your fingers off, but is actually great at hand holding. Keeps your hand firmly in place and will help you with anything. Going down the stairs, if you slip, need balance. If you need assurance he'll let you squeeze his fingers as hard as you want. WILL proudly hold your hand and roar at anyone tryna mess with you.

Guilliman- holding hands with him means you're going to be there for a few hours while he explains The Imperium at you. He doesn't comfort you, you comfort him. Rub circles on HIS skin with your thumb. He misses his mom you gotta soothe him.

Mortarian- Both unbearably warm and freezing cold. Clammy, sweaty, skin an uncomfortable gummy texture. Sticks to you when you try to let go. Sometimes his fingers accidentally corpse-lock and you gotta pry them open. WILL forget he's hanging onto you and will drag you along.

Magnus- Hit or miss with him. He's either too distracted to hold hands or suddenly too bashful. The best you can get is him entwining a clawed finger with yours, most likely when you are reading together in the librarius. A reminder of his affection towards you in the quiet moments of your lives.

Horus- Doesn't matter your relationship, will hold your hand like a jealous husband, like you are perpetually at risk of being snatched away. Grip a bit too tight, almost possessive. Will need breaks to keep your circulation healthy. Likes to hold the entirety of your hand in his. Don't lock fingers with him. He's going to hold you in a vice and you're going to like it.

Vulkan- 11/10 the SUPREME hand holder. Absolute perfection. Warm, gentle, makes your hand feel like its being hugged. Strong and protective. Completely engulfs your hand with his. Will hold your hand for as long as you want, doesn't mind he's just happy to be there. Its hard to just hold hands with him as the temptation to fully cuddle is an ever present threat. He WILL hold you like the gentlest softest mattress and you WILL fall asleep in his arms.

Lorgar- Holds your hand like a preacher about to baptize you. Palm against palm, held up in reverence. Not very comfortable. Will continue to hold you there even when your arm goes numb. No moving he's still preaching. What do you mean you can't feel your fingers you better keep holding on if you are truly taking his words to heart.

Corvus Corax- Hand holding will take some coaxing. Starts limp wristed at first, like his heart isn't fully in it. Gets huffy when you don't want to hold his hand anymore because of it. Will get better over time the more you encourage him. Starts to grab your hand when he's not even thinking about it, but won't acknowledge that he's doing it. WILL hold your hand while you explore ancient grave sites.

Alpharius Omegon- Won't hold your hand, but you can watch them hold hands with each other.

Adam, Leo und die Gefühle

Ich hatte hier

einen Auszug aus dem neuen Interview mit Daniel Sträßer gepostet und einige von euch (überraschend viele) haben den Punkt mit den Gefühlen aufgegriffen. Eben dass sie keinen Zugang zu ihren Gefühlen haben.

Ich habe mich gefragt, ob das tatsächlich so ist und habe die Chance genutzt, im ersten Schritt mal DfL noch einmal Revue passieren zu lassen. Mir hat sich ein anderer Eindruck vermittelt, den möchte ich hier mal darlegen, ich wäre aber ganz glücklich über ein paar Antworten von denjenigen, die geschrieben haben, dass die beiden eben keinen Zugang haben. Wie kommt ihr zu eurem Urteil?

Ich fang mal an, wie ich zu meinem komme.

Ich stelle vorab mal eine steile These auf: Der Zugang zu den Gefühlen ist da, zeigt sich aber eher durch Mimik und Gestik, aber auch durch Taten, als durch direkt an das Gegenüber gerichtete Worte.

Ich konzentriere mich mal nur auf Das fleißige Lieschen, ansonsten würde das hier ausarten. Bei Bedarf gerne mehr. Also.

Leo ist bestürzt und überrascht, als er Adam das erste Mal sieht (Minute 9). Als sie zusammen im Auto sitzen und Adam ihm sagt, dass er ihn vermisst hat, umarmen sie sich innig. Auf beiden Gesichtern ist schon zu sehen, dass sie sich mögen, was ich als Zuneigung interpretieren würde. Gleichwohl zögert Leo ein bisschen, scheint sich noch nicht so ganz sicher zu sein, wie er damit umgehen soll.

In der Befragung mit Konrad Hofer (ungefähr Minute 21) ist Adam sichtlich betroffen von der Gewalt des Patriarchen. Man sieht die schlechten Erinnerungen und das Unwohlsein auf seinem Gesicht.

Minute 23 hasst Adam den Pförtner (und die Schranke) mit Leidenschaft.

Als Adam und Leo dann im Anschluss im Büro streiten und Leo Adam an den Kopf wirft, ob in ihm nicht etwas hochkocht und ob er sich nicht mal um seine eigene Familie kümmern sollte, ist Adam deutlich wütend (ab Minute 30). Leo nicht ganz so sehr, weil er immer noch beschwichtigen möchte.

Wo Leo aber deutlich frustriert ist, ist, als Adam ihm an den Kopf wirft, dass er gar nicht wisse, was in ihm vorgehe.

Daran schließen sich die jeweiligen Gespräche im Familienkreis an. Leo mit seiner Schwester und Adam mit seiner Mutter. Leo scheint niedergeschlagen zu sein, Adam fühlt sich unwohl, sobald das Thema Leo und Roland aufkommt.

Ab Minute 39 dürfen die Beiden dann kurz glücklich miteinander sein, während sie nachts Akten wälzen und sich anlächeln. Nur damit Adam Leo zwei Minuten später wütend vor Esther und Pia verteidigt.

Als Leo Weisser hinterherhechtet, überrollen ihn seine Erinnerungen und Ängste bezüglich einer Schussabgabe. Er kann es nicht, bleibt stehen, lässt Weisser entkommen.

Adam stellt ihn und als sie sich auf dem Parkdeck unterhalten, ist Leo verzweifelt, glaubt, er sei eine Gefahr für jeden Kollegen (Minute 58).

In der 75. Minute besucht Adam seinen Vater und da überkommt ihn der von Leo avisierte Hass auf seinen Vater, äußert sich in einem körperlichen Übergriff und einem herzhaften "Fuck you!".

Bei Lida Tellmanns Geständnis und der Erzählung von Erik Hofers Grausamkeit ist Leo sichtlich berührt und getroffen, Adam wiederum erschüttert durch Erinnerungen an seine eigene Vergangenheit (Minute 84).

Mein Fazit wäre: Sie haben Zugang zu ihren Gefühlen und zeigen das auch. Aber gemeint sind eher allgemeine Gefühle und nicht die Gefühle füreinander. Die laufen meines Erachtens nicht oft auf einer klar formulierten Ebene, sondern über nonverbale Kommunikation und Mimik und Gestik. Das ist teilweise in den kommenden Teilen da aber auch anders.

Ich denke, die Messlatte, die dafür angelegt ist, ist auch die Vergleichsmasse an männlichen Rollen, die eben keine Gefühle zeigen dürfen, die man insbesondere im Krimi- und Actiongenre gefunden hat. Und da weichen sie deutlich von ab, denn es heißt ja nicht umsonst "there's Tatort in my drama".

Was meint ihr? Seht ihr es anders?

[sorormaior]

hey if there was a konrad kurze movie, what would you want it to be about and who would you want to play konrad?

gosh! incheresting question. honestly I wouldn’t want it to be live action. I think I’d want an animated film, maybe something in the style of Arcane? Always thinking about it tbqh.

As for what it would be… I guess I’d want to see the beginning! Him doing his Thang on Nostramo and maybe early parts of him on the Great Crusade? :DDD

[tagedeszorns]

Do you have any book recommendations? I’m trying to get out of my habit of just re listening to the Konrad Kurze primarch book again.

But you’re art goes hard. I love seeing it appear on my dash. <3

Ooooh books!

But of course (or Curze in your case .. damn, I'm seeing myself out now ... ) it depends on your taste.

If you already are on a Night Lords-roll you may add some of their more iconic appearances to your menu. Like the short stories "Savage Weapons" and "Prince of Crows". You get some very disturbing Konrad in both "Vulkan lives" and "Unremembered Empire", too! Culminating in "Pharos" - the novel that kind of introduces The Painted Count's backstory.

But if you want to branch out of Night Lords, I will always and ever recommend the Fabius-books. They are such a treat and the best peek into Emperor's Childrens-mindset you will ever get. If you start with the Fulgrim-Primarch-novel (please don't confuse it with McNeill's "Fulgrim". You are looking for Josh Reynolds' "Fulgrim"!) and follow the story it will take you naturally through 30k and 40k.

The thing is, I'm rarely reading systematically. I'm following the flow from whatever character I have attached myself to. Or Legion. But Emperor's Children really have a rough time in 30k. You are getting the best start with them with Abnett and Reynolds, but then, BAM! - like a ceramite boot to the crotch along comes McNeill and you have to read his shit with constant "WTF man?!"-face.

But I digress.

If you are looking for some great stand-alone books I would always recommend the Lorgar Primarch novel, too. Followed by the short story "Child of Chaos" to get some Erebus.

In the end it really boils down to pick your favourite guys and go from there. I tried to read everything touching Emperor's Children (a reasonable amount, the 40k and the short stories are really good. You should absolutely read "Reflection Crack'd", because everybody has to suffer this. It's like an initiation ritual), Word Bearers (not that much and very basic stuff. I'm sad. They have some great 30k-books, but 40k .... not much) and Salamanders (boy, oh boy - such big books for such big guys! Their author truly loves them and it shows).

And then I let myself get infected by @ladymirdan's love for Sicarius and started reading his stuff (that's the purest 40k-bolterporn-fun plus some very good character-interaction!).

In one of Cato's novels I met the Deathkorps of Krieg and took a shine to that little Lemmings, so I started reading about them.

Then someone absolutely recommended Kill Team Talon and so I started reading "Deathwatch" by Steve Parker.

You see - it's mostly a natural flow, fuelled by other fans!

And you will get lost into way too many rabbit holes.

The natural starting point may be the first Horus Heresy novel, "Horus Rising". A lot of people, myself included, just read their way from start to finish and took detours along the way in any direction they please. Like, I read about Legio Mortis on Isstvan and immediately branched out to Abnett's "Titanicus", even if that's 40k, not 30k.

It's just a game of getting constantly distracted. And I love it. The Warhammer novels are so diverse in their subjects, you can plunge into any niche you come across. (That may be my ADHD brain talking, who knows, though)

So much fun!

(I'm not the person to ask about any books that are not Space Marine-centred, though! If you are looking for Xenos-, or human-centred stuff, there are way more competent fans out there than me!)

And of course I have forgotten to add a ton of great books. Because I'm way too excitable (as can be measured on the torrent of typos and bad grammar in this post 😁). So, please add favourites in the comments - I NEEEEED even more books on my pile!
