TerraZero20 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I don't know if such a thread has been done before. It probably has but this is just a first thought; I discovered the first book from Black Library I read and was wondering who had read what. For me, the first book from BL I read was the first in the Mathias Thulmaan trilogy Witch Hunter by C.L. Werner. In terms of 40K books, the first was Chapter Wars by Ben Counter. What about everyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorkimedes Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I believe the first one I read was the Mark of Chaos tie in novel. 40k I want to say 15 Hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucien Eilam Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 If you count the '89 incarnation as GW Books, it was the Wolf Riders anthology, then Drachenfels, then pretty much all of the others. BL proper, it was probably Gilead's Blood, then the Last Chancers stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reldn Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 If I remember correctly, the first BL Novel I read was "Xenos"... Followed quickly by "Malleus" and "Hereticus". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfkry Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 First Novel i read was Angels of darkness... damn maybe more than a decade ago... First piece of writing i read was i think 3rd edition codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hmm, it was some short story compilation, with a Chaos knight on the cover (WHFB obviously). There was a story about an elf and a barbarian escaping a dark elf prison camp, a story about a witch hunter and some zombie-making jewel, and one about a human, barbarian, dwarf and elf ripping off lizardmen gold. That's all I remember. Kinda sad that I lost it on a vacation years and years ago. My first 40k novel was probably Helsreach. At least that's the first one I can recall reading.

Chaeron Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 If you count the '89 incarnation as GW Books, it was the Wolf Riders anthology, then Drachenfels, then pretty much all of the others. BL proper, it was probably Gilead's Blood, then the Last Chancers stuff. Many good memories, books like Konrad, and those Ian Watson works of old... Again, the Gaunt's Ghosts series, starting with First and Only when released... magical. And King's Space Wolves! Ah, nostalgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Knight Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Space Marine was my first 40k novel. Not sure if it counts, since there was no such thing as BL at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarKnight Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Space Wolf Omnibus by Bill King. Wasn't expecting to like it. My life hasn't been the same since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger9gamer Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 My first BL book and 40k book was Cadian Blood by I dont know who, and I rented it from the local library. Then It was followed by Ultramarine series and my God I was not prepared for it by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 My first BL book was First & Only in 2005. I remember because I pretty much read most of it on the flight over to New York. After that I couldn't get enough of the Gaunt novels and thankfully being late into the game I had more than enough to catch up on. My favorite might be Only in Death.

TerraZero20 Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Space Marine was my first 40k novel. Not sure if it counts, since there was no such thing as BL at that time. I'm definitely willing to accept it. Still counts as being part of Games Workshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelPaladin Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 My first BL book was Storm of Iron. Probably around 2002 or 2003. I was at a local comic book shop, and discovered they had a small selection of 40k books. I had been playing 40k for a few years, but for some reason I had no idea that GW also produced novels. I picked the one with the big, scary Iron Warrior on the cover, and thus began the obsession Seriously though, Storm of Iron is a killer book. Man, now I gotta re-read it.

Jarl of Wulfen Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 First was either the first ragnar book or the first ghosts book. Could very well have read both at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
