#Iron warriors horus heresy novels series#

I would like to know which books really do provide benefit when reading them in a certain sequence.The following links are for community written tactics and relevant faction overviews, as well as links to various lore pages for background reading.

Most of the warhammer books that I have read have been in the Horus Heresy novels, and I will likely delve into more of the 40k novels as I finish the heresy novels I am interested in. My question lies in those instances that are more like the first case.

Other books such as the Ahriman books, benefit from reading Horus Heresy Thousand Sons series of books first. I imagine this is primarily due to the shared author. The one in particular that I mention and that I have seen mentioned frequently is to read the Iron Warriors omnibus prior to reading Angel Exterminatus. There are some instances in the Horus Heresy where the story is significantly enhanced if you have read certain 40k novels. I got to thinking about this the other day.
