If anything it's more like a prequel, but even then it's its own self-contained universe that is meant to build up to why everything's skrewed up for one of the setting's factions. ![]() Taking place 10,000 years before the current date most other Warhammer 40k stories take place (technically that makes it Warhammer 30k,) I don't think comparing it to the New Jedi Order is fair. The sections that focus on developing interesting characters are far more entertaining. A lot of them seem to be thrown in because the authors are expected to have mass combat occur in these novels, but it's like they're not very interested in actually writing about it. A common trend I've noticed, and contrary to what you'd expect from a novel series about Warhammer, is that the combat scenes aren't very interesting at all. Mechanicum was awful and I ended up skipping over large sections of it. Nemesis was my favorite so far, and I ended up staying up till 2 AM one night to finish it. Horus Rising and False Gods were amazing. I get the impression that having no experience with WH40K might make you like it better than you otherwise would, because it's not going to be contradicting any of your expectations. A lot of the plot points apparently don't match up with commonly accepted canon, so I (who had also never read a WH40K book before picking up the Heresy novels) have discussed WH40K lore using the HH novels as my baseline, and get told I'm wrong fairly often. ![]()
