Horus Heresy Spoiler-Free reading order


Recommended Posts

After years of waiting and lots of work, the Black Librarium team is proud to finally release the HORUS HERESY SPOILER-FREE READING ORDER V3.0 

 

It's not a chronological order but a spoiler free one. 

With this flowchart you will be able to read basing on different data: 

1) Spoilers links (primary intent of this flowchart)

2) Based on the factions you want to read about (Factions colours)

3) Based on the conflict zone where the story happens (Conflicts Zone storylines)

4) If you don't mind spoilers, only read the very essential and major events of the Horus Heresy (Ribbons - Black Librarium opinion) 

 

English Flowchart: https://ibb.co/5Mr7rDV

 

French Flowchart: https://ibb.co/sRc17DJ

 

This Flowchart includes every main series novel, short story, ebook, novella and audiobook published at this date and every Siege of Terra novel and novella. For Primarchs and Characters series only the most relevant to the Horus Heresy.

 

We tried our best to include every connection but some very minor ones between short stories are not included because it's not doable, we had to make choices. Same for Factions colours, we tried to respect them as much as possible but with that many Factions we prioritized readability and contrast with black/white text.

 

We hope you will have as much fun using it than we spent time doing it. If you have any suggestions, the best place to express them is either our twitter account: https://twitter.com/blacklibrarium

or by e-mail at: blacklibrarium@hotmail.com

 

We would particularly like to thank:

A note about "Grandfather's gift": is not really a Horus Heresy era tale, even if it was marketed as such.

 

It happens after Mortarion goes to the Plague Planet, so it has to be during/after the Scouring, because "The Buried Dagger" ends with him joining Horus forces at the Siege of Terra.

 

You may be right, with a lot a stories it's hard sometimes to really know where they take place (specially the short stories). Thanks. :wink:

This is excellent, but.....Am I right that the chart lacks the black books? I know that they aren't BL as such, but given the author crossover (esp French) and the seminal nature of their content, I really feel they should be there (especially considering the way black book characters, like Mor, pop up in BL books out of nowhere as a namedrop). It shouldn't be too hard to add them, given some are just single events, while the chapters of Retaliation could be split across the chart?
