Tales of Heresy – Warhammer

4 stars

Tales of Heresy was a great read that introduced me to a lot of new things I either hadn’t heard of or didn’t know much about. I’m also really excited to eventually read books about groups mentioned in here. It was recommended that I read this before Angron’s primarch book.

Blood Games introduced my to the Custodial Guard and what life on Terra looks like after the Emperor took over. They’re so cool to read and I’m really interested to read more about them.

Wolf at the Door was a very uncomfy look at the drukhari and I found myself extremely disconcerted for the first time in my Warhammer journey. Love the Space Wolves though!

Scions of the Storm was pretty sad. Those poor people very excited to rejoin the Imperium and who had already been worshipping the Emperor slaughtered by a falling Lorgar.

The Voice was my introduction to the Sisters of Silence and I definitely want to see more of them

Call of the Lion showed me how much tension and dissent exist between Terran Space Marines and those from the primarchs’ home worlds.

The Last Church really didn’t show the Emperor in a good light and my heart went out to Uriah. Really gives new meaning to the whole never meet your idols thing.

And After Desh’ea…how tragic. Poor Khârn really got the short end of the stick there but it was cool to see how the World Easters got their name and were introduced to Angron!

This was a great collection of stories and gave me a lot of background or supplementary info from what I’d already read.
