Best starting point for the lore? Or even roadmap for beginners?
So I've heard some descriptions of the 40,000 lore from a podcast I watch, and it sounds incredible, but there's an awful lot of options to start from, with people recommending many different book series and youtube summaries. Is there a simpler approach, like just going into one standalone book to ground yourself before a bigger series? Or from a game to a tie-in book of some kind? Many thanks.
Click yourself randomly through lexicanum and pick a book based on which stories you find the most intriguing. Or start with the Horus Heresy, they're not bad books and it's chronologically in order
