I am your average 37-year-old woman. I game, I read, and I have cats. A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon Azariah Kyras' glorious speech about the Blood God Khorne, and I started quoting him at least once every day when my boyfriend and I were talking about random everyday things. He suggested I look into the Warhammer Universe.

My God!

It started out with some lore videos about the Chaos Gods and The Emperor, and down the rabbit hole I went. When I found out they are doing a series with Mr. Handsome Henry, I knew I had to go deeper. It's been three days of almost no sleep, and I've finished the first two books in The Horus Heresy saga. They have no business being as good as they are.

If Warhammer has the power to infect even the most basic, whitest woman of all time, we are all in trouble!"

Pray for me

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD !!!! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!!!!

I've sworn off most things GW for being an evil scummy company, but some of the books are absolute bangers. Gaunts Ghosts, Ravenor, Eisenhorn, and the Night Lords books are up there.

My favourite Horus Heresy books are probably the ones to do with the Dark Angels. They have a medievalist/futurist feel which I really love. If you love these particular ones too I suggest checking out an unrelated book called A Canticle for Liebowitz, one of my favourite of all time.

Also, ditch those Chaos Gods. They are only using you. The God-Emperor is the only way.
