Hello all,

Of all the books in the Horus Heresy which novel or novels do you feel features the most insight to the personalities of the Primarchs? There are several examples of a Heresy book where many pages are written in the eyes of a primarch.

Which book do you think shows light on the relationships with eachother?




I really want to hear some thoughts from you guys as I am new to the forum and want to learn (didnt realise so many people know Warhammer Lore like you guys do). What book would you choose that best showcased what it was like in the shoes of a Primarch?

AHEM!
*spoiler bar thing is really need here...
Not to ruin your day but. edit your post so people that do not want to read that can just ignore it.

Thousand Sons

Thousand Sons is one of my favorites as well, if I made a pre-heresy army it would be based on them. Thanks, and made the spoiler optional. Appreciate the help

From what I have read so far, either Fulgrim or the First Heretic displays the respective primarchs the best. Fulgrim gives details on Ferrus Manus as well. And the First Heretic goes through the eyes of Lorgar quite often, something that seems to not happen as much as it should throughout the series.

The worst is easily The Flight of the Eisenstein. I learned next to nothing of Mortarion. A shame really, as Death Guard are my favorite pre heresy Astartes.
