Unboxing: Forge World Horus Heresy Book Collection
September 29, 2015 by dignity
We have an unboxing with a difference as we turn the show into the Beasts Of War book club with a look at @deaddave's weighty collection of Horus Heresy literature from Forge World.
You'll break a sweat lifting these tomes off the shelf!
It's a collection that will give any Horus Heresy player an encyclopaedic knowledge of it's events and the characters that played a part in it.
Dave's library not only includes the first four main books but also Visions of Heresy and a graphic novel to name a few.
Which Horus Heresy book do you enjoy leafing through?

Seriously jealous of @deaddave collection, do hope that the plastic HH games does offer an easy way into the 30k universe, as like said in the vid, its a huge investment to get stuck in currently, as lovely as the books are there is no way i could afford the investment needed to play a game i would love to get into… 🙁
John,
GW may not have released Custodes yet to do battle on the Table Top, but check out Kabuki’s Legio Praetoriana here:

Or perhaps Scibors Romans

Or his Spartans

But add these helmets

All these are very clearly NOT Legio Custodes!!
I was lucky and bought the special edition matching black covered army list books. Why no book 5?
Will Heresy 6 be released at the Forgeworld open day?
I believe this was filmed prior to book 5 being released.
Seriously nice books, in fact outstanding pieces of art.
But I just can’t help it..I prefer to buy toy soldiers and this kind of money buys me an awful lot of them 😉
Great un-boxing tho!
I think I am seriously insane as Dave referred to himself, I have the entire series of Imperial Armour from Volume One to Volume Thirteen and of course have Horus Heresy Book One to Book Five. Love the art work and story of the Horus Heresy in these books, nothing else comes close. I must be nuts as well because I live in Australia and the conversion rate from an English pound to an Australian Dollar is a killer but it is my hobby that I love.
Even I haven’t bothered getting all the imperial armour books. Niice one 😀
The entry level is a bit easier now which is quite good 🙂
out of morbid curiosity how much are these books?
About £70 each for the HH books.
The first book is a bit barren with very few artworks but the later ones habe awesome drawings of characters, ships and so on.
Sadly they contain mistakes and already are out of date due to errata.
Very beautiful books.
There is alot more to the books other than Codex type rules, check the red books for an easy/cheaper way in. Great vid DD.
They are a good entry, but you miss all the awesome fluff.
Without doubt dd , book three all the way for my IW’s 😉
shiny very shiny have the silver heresy book never had the time/money to get the later books.
Not sure whether i’m more jealous of the books or the beard. Ahh who am i kidding, beard everytime. I want to lick it.
That was filmed months ago, you should see it now lol
I agree with Dave here – I love heresy and if I would back to Warhammer it would be 30k Love everything about if from J.Blanche trough all fluff ending up on models ( excluding dreadnoughts) but it is way to much to bite.
When is the next HH book going to be available?

Sane people are boring. Embrace the Insanity! I like Dave’s objectivity in regards to FW and how difficult it is to get into for beginners. If they really do drag it out for 15 odd years, that is gonna be possibly 15 £50 HH books, which isn’t very accessible. I hope they will do legion specific codex books in time. The Mechanicum book they recently released is what I hope they will continue to do, as that was a great move from FW.
I have book one betrayal
