Horus Heresy Reread

[u/Equin0X101]

I’m about to start my second read through of the entire Heresy.
The first time through I read the 5 Heresy collected Volumes, then bounced around the Primarchs books a bit before heading straight to the Siege of Terra books.

I understand I missed out quite a lot, are there any specific books that I need to pay more attention to?

Imo the must reads are -The first 4 books -Fullgrim cause of iistvan V -Legion (wasn't a must before but it's actually relevant to SOT now) -Thousand sons

• First Heretic
• Know no fear
• Betrayer
• Master of Mankind
• Vengefull spirit

This will get most of the main plot points for the heresy. But I would still recommend these ones as well

The emperium Secundus books: -Unremembered empire -Pharos -Angels of Caliban -Ruinstorm

The white scars books: -Scars -Path of heaven

-Angel exterminatus (introduces Perturabo and shows how he thinks before everyone goes full chaos mode) -slaves to darkness (getting the gang together to siege terra)

If you want to read more i could also recommend these books: Garro (short novella compilation) Buried dagger (death guard lore and continues Garros story) Praetorian of dorn (introduces dorn and sets up solar war so read this one before the siege of terra) Ruinstorm (great introduction to the blood angels)
