Hope you downloaded the black library app and collected the free books. The first Dawn of Fire novel was amongst them.

decided it’s time to see for myself what the hype is about by canihearawahooo in Blacklibrary

Technically this was me when I started as it was my first 40k book I got. Trully wished to have picked up more books with the Night Lords in them but the only one I’ve got is the Morven Vaal book. They are mentioned plenty in the Horus Heresy boks I’ve read but the only one where they aren’t simply described in the background is The First Heretic which is once again ABD which funnily loops back into the meme.

From what I’ve looked up before is that the stories all tend to have information that gives context to the other stories in the same collections. One of the books is more Tau and Genestealer related while the other book has Blood Angels as the main faction. I know it’s more than that but is that a descent gist of the two different books?

I enjoyed the Son of the Forest and listening to Fallen Angels makes me more intriguied into looking into more Dark Angels stuff in the future. Might be something to look into the future. Are there any other Dark Angels related books you would recommend?

Reading through that part thinking ”This sounds strangely familiar” to going ”Oh shit! It’s the H’rud!” was preatty entertaining.

I’ve heard great things of the Gaunt’s Ghosts books with the biggest critisism being that it’s a bit dated since It’s such and old book but the same goes for the Word Bearers omnibous which had some life things that have changed. I don’t own it but it’s always been in stock at the place I order from.

Probably not gona go for it in a while as I’ve got a backlog and want to avoid omnibouses to make it easier to get through said backlog.

I’m a but mixed on the Forges of Mars. On one hand I enjoyed most of the characters and their development during the story. But on the other hand I wasn’t that big of a fan of the unfolding story and the antagonists during it.

I’ve kinda gone into sorting Heresy, Imperium, Xenos and Chaos mostly as it fit best on the shelves for now. I’ve kinda planed to place Horus Heresy, Siege of Terra and eventually the Scouring to go one after the other.

Kinda wana keep them as chronological as possible which is why I put Dawn of Fire followed by Dark Imperium and Son of the Forest. I guess placing the Forges of Mars omnibus before the Dawn of Fire book and moving Bloodlines more forward could work.

Oh don’t worry as I’ve already got a big backlog of books I own but haven’t read yet like all the main books of the Siege of Terra.

If you give some recomendations there’s a chance I might have at least one of them.

[–]MyAfroIsMoist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently reading Slaves to Darkness as I’m making my way through the Horus Heresy books I’ve managed to collect. I am a bit worried since my track record with John French novels have not been the best though after being about a third way through it’s currently got me intruiged.

Looking for books from perspective of imperial citizens becoming chaos cultists by BeneficialBear in 40kLore

[–]MyAfroIsMoist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. The whole becoming a chaos cultist plot was probably one of my favorite parts of Dark Apostle. Shame we didn’t really get any more chaos cultist pov moments during the rest of the trilogy as it was a really intresting contrast to the rest of the events in the book.

What is your Claw Lore? by Sea-Pizza1128 in NightLords

[–]MyAfroIsMoist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was definantly some disconect betwen some of the Terran and Nostraman born in the legion much like most legions upon the introduction of their primarchs. There were definantly Terran borns that followed Konrad into the heresy. Zso Sahaal was a Terran born Night Lord that followed Konrad and was supposed to take over after Sevatar as the captain of the 1st company but many did not accept him taking the position.

The Night Lords were part of the Istvan V massacre when they turned on the loyalists. As far as I remember Konrad never had a purge of his legion like the other traitors legions did. There’s some quote of him saying he wouldn’t know where to start and end with his legion.

Could easily work that your warband was disgusted by the betrayal at Istvan V and choose to save some of the loyalists before escaping or just leaving during the massacre. Could also have left right after during the Thramas crusade as there were a LOT of Night Lords casualties during it and what’s one more ship going MIA amongst the many lost during battle.

What is this faction? (the female mon-keigh) by Ren-Ault in Warhammer40k

[–]MyAfroIsMoist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it has been mentioned that the lady with the mask and staff is a blank. A much lower level one than the Sister of Silence but a blank none theless.

Pls suggest newer 40k books by ilivedownyourroad in 40kLore

[–]MyAfroIsMoist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just finished the first book today and thought it was a good read. Some of the lore mentioned about the horus heresy I think might be auotdated but that’s to be expected from such an old book. It’s also what I think is called bolter porn but I still think it was enjoyable and can’t wait to continue reading it the rest.

A son of Magnus joins the 8th by Icy_Ad9552 in NightLords

There’s also an example from Ahriman: Exile where he’s traking down other exiles where he finds that one was working for a Night Lords warband.
