>>5721001>>5721001In 40k the stories I prefer are the human scale ones, not the Horus Heresy where I can never suspend incredulity lol whenever you bring in the Space Marines. The Abnett Space Wolf one is ok, but I feel if you actually read novels with Horus or primarchs the mystery is ruined. I think it is because when I first read the 40k lore, the franchise was not that well developed, which made it more exciting, you really felt this deep and wondrous sense of intergalactic aeons across the warp, all these half-remembered semi-mythical figures. Now there are like 20 novels each elaborating with endless exposition the minutiae of each thought lol upon every legendary conversation between Primarchs, it lessens them in my opinion and reduces them from unknowable apotheosis god-heroes to just mere caricatures
I like inquisitor, rogue trader and hive ganger human-scale stories. You can throw in maybe ONE space marine every now and then for a sense of awe and posthuman might. I also think that an underrepresented era is the pre Unity technobarbarian warlord age (Narthan Dume etc those Terra background novel settings).
