This one draws a whole lot of strands together on Terra, and links to A Thousand Sons as well. It’s best read before Scars. The story was originally published in the Age of Darkness anthology, before being released as a standalone e-short. This short story is very closely linked to the White Scars arc, as it introduces a character who plays a large part in that series. Originally issued as a standalone hardback, it can also now be found in The Burden of Loyalty collection. This novella follows Russ and the Space Wolves Legion from where we left them in Scars.
The following stories aren’t directly part of the White Scars arc, but are spin-offs from that narrative involving some of the same characters. Both a culmination of the White Scars arc, and the sixth book of the Siege of Terra series, this was released as a limited edition, hardback, audio and ebook. With the Lion’s Gate space port taken by the enemy, Jaghatai Khan of the White Scars prepares a brazen gambit. A prequel of sorts, it’s set across the Great Crusade, shedding a little more light on the Legion’s nature and history. The Primarchs: Jaghatai Khan is an entry in the separate Primarchs series, but ties in very closely to the other White Scar tales. It hasn’t appeared in any print collections yet. It takes place immediately after the events of The Path of Heaven, and just prior to the start of the Siege of Terra. Restorer is the last White Scar story set as part of the main sequence of Horus Heresy books. It was initially issued as a hardback, followed by two paperback editions, an ebook and in audio format. The Path of Heaven picks up the story from Scars after a gap of several years, and follows the Legion as it attempts to find its way home. It originally appeared as a standalone short story, and has since appeared in the Eye of Terraanthology. It has also been published in the Shattered Legions collection, as well as in the Meduson anthology (in script format).īrotherhood of the Moon follows the Terran White Scar Torghun Khan after the events of Scars, and gives some insight into the events of that novel. Grey Talon follows a captured destroyer crewed by White Scars and Iron Hands. It was written as a standalone short story, and has since appeared in the War Without End anthology. It follows two librarians from two different Legions, thrown together by the destruction of Prospero. It was initially issued as a hardback, followed by two paperback editions and an audiobook.Īllegiance is set between Scars and The Path of Heaven. It picks up the story after the events of Brotherhood of the Storm. Scars was the first full-length novel to feature the White Scars. It was later released as a standard hardback, ebook and audiobook, and can also be found in the Legacies of Betrayalcollection. I think that’s also the best order to read them in, too, although if you want strict chronological order, then note that The Primarchs: Jaghatai Khan takes place, story-wise, first.īrotherhood of the Storm was issued as a limited edition novella, and was the first Heresy story to feature the White Scars.

#HORUS HERESY BOOKS IN ORDER SERIES#
Most of my work in the Horus Heresy series has followed the Fifth Legion, ‘White Scars’. This page includes details of the stories I’ve contributed, so might be useful if you want to follow the White Scars arc in order, or find certain titles.
This particular flowchart caught my attention since there are a number of ways of following the action: this might be chronological, or based on a faction that you are most interested in, or a zone of the conflict that piques your attention.įor me, the obvious appeal is the comprehensive nature of the flowchart, with the very minor caveat that some of the more minor and tenuous links are not noted. The reasons for this are obvious enough: many writers contributed collaboratives over many years to a wide variety of aspects of the series to make it the amazing achievement that it is today.
At its core, the basic idea of the flowchart is that the published order of the Horus Heresy books does not necessarily follow the chronological order in which the action or events happen within the epic series.
