If you know someone who is interested in fantasy tales or are interested in fantasy tales yourself, here’s something that might be of interest for you. Warhammer Fantasy, as you think the franchise name might imply, is the fantasy branch of Warhammer franchise. This post also covers the Time of Legends and Horus Heresy bundles.

As with the previous gift guide on Warhammer 40,000 eBundles, there might be some steep looking costs. If, however, you’re into these kinds of stories, these bundles are pretty fair considering how much you get in each.

With release of Oath of Moment, we saw the return of one of the best characters from the first five books of the Horus Heresy series. We also saw him recruiting people into what would become one of the Inquisition’s true military forces.

In Oath of Moment, he came. He saw heretics. He slaughtered them himself. Now we see him return. He had been recruiting for a couple of months and has built a nice little force.

Flight of the Eisenstein was the first book in the Horus Heresy series to not follow the Luna Wolves. It also introduced a lot of great characters. Garro: Oath of Moment is an audiobook that follows one of the few survivors of loyalists that were in the traitor legions, who was also one of the main characters in FotE.

The Word Bearer legion of the Space Marines were the first to go over to Chaos. The First Heretic covers that story. Yes, this does mean that, much like Descent of Angels, the book is a prequel to the prequel to the thing that is The Horus Heresy.

And it is good. A little slow at times but still very good.

It was bound to happen that the Horus Heresy series would have a book that almost exclusively focused on the behind-the-scenes aspect of war. Nemesis is that book.

The question is whether or not it actually lives up to the work that the majority of the series had laid out. To put it simply, it does but it could be so much better.

For the first time since Tales of Heresy, we are delving into a book of short stories that are following the legions of the Adeptus Astartes (better known as the Space Marines).

Space Marines are inherently fun. After all, they’re living walls of muscle and armor. They excel at causing complete death, destruction and mayhem on a battlefield and that’s before any of the really big guns (like Dreadnoughts) come into play.

However, there are things that make them harder to write about.

Author Graham McNeill has just done something pretty special for Games Workshop and the Black Library

On March 15, 2010, the Black Library blog reported that A Thousand Sons, by McNeill, hit number 22 on the New York Times Bestsellers list.

This is the first Black Library – as well as a Horus Heresy - novel to make it on the list.

The Horus Heresy yields yet another installment, this time bringing in a legion only referred to and making a brief cameo in any of the earlier books, The Thousand Sons. It also shows a bit of a change in pace of the books.

Title: The Horus Heresy: Fallen Angels Author: Mike Lee Publisher: The Black Library Release Date: August 2009 Price: $7.99 Rating: One thumb up and one thumb sideways, 80/100, B-, *** out of five. Pros: Fleshes out the Dark Angels storyline, brings back the franchise’s storytelling so it feels like Warhammer 40,000 again Cons: Some parts more »

If you’ve stuck around this long through The Horus Heresy, chances are you’re not leaving until it’s fateful end has been written.

Tales of Heresy brings in some veteran writers from the series and other veteran writers from The Black Library for a seven-story ride through various times of Horus’s betrayal. Some dwell on parts of the lore that were merely mentioned by the other books. Most follow events that won’t be covered in depth until later books.
