      I love how crazy it is. I’m considering getting the Horace Heresy book.

      Once I figured out half of the fighting was giving party members extra turns I haven’t gotten any temporary injuries.

        Welcome to the fandom, remember there are no good guys, just different flavors of shit. Except this weird warden, I think

          Is it a bad book? I’ve seen people say it’s better than they expected.

          I’m expecting Dean Koontz level of writing.

            No just your spelling. His name is Horus. Like the Egyptian god of death war. There’s LOTS of religious symbolism and allusions in the material. WH40K is a satire of so many real world things so you will see stuff in the series and ask “XYZ? like the real world religion that involves XYZ??” And the answer is usually yes.

            My husband listens to 40k audiobooks to go to sleep and they’re typically at about a dean koontz level- surprisingly good from my perspective, because I’m expecting fanfic levels of skill.
