Looks like a great bundle for $18. A bit scattershot, but at a little less than a dollar a book (the Nagash one is the Omnibus) that's just nitpicking.

Only other nitpick would be the inclusion of Horus Rising. I get that it's the novel that kicked off the HH series, but who hasn't read it in some form by now?

Shame theres no audiobooks. And it's a repeat of some of their previous books, though it would be cool to read the Eight Lamentations. Been meaning to pick that one up. Same with Callis and Toll

One big caveat:
Click on the 'Choose where your money goes' just above the payment options to reveal the sliders that show who gets what (GW, Charity and Humble),

By default, the charity gets about 16%, or $3.75 out of $25, and the Humble 'tip' is half again that amount. (24%, $6.25), with GW getting the other 60%

So if you're doing this to support the charity, or just to get cheap books, adjust the sliders so the charity actually gets a decent percentage.


This is pretty standard on all humble bundles. The charities get a tiny amount unless you specify otherwise.

Looks good I see 2 or 3 I had plans (well vague intentions) to read so for about the cost of a new book I'm in.

Wasn't aware of this. Good info to post in every Humble thread.

Randomly, the deal for all those Spawn comics looks quite nice as well.

It's a great bundle for those that don't already have these books, I just wish they would change up the offering each time. This is mostly the same selection as last time

Only a couple of doubles in this one as far as I can remember: Horus Rising, Know No Fear, the Buried Dagger, Roboute Guilliman and Dark Imperium.

The Macharian Crusade is also an omnibus by the way, though a trilogy that does, IMHO, suffer quality wise over the course of the series.

I need to go through my books, but I think I have almost all of the 30k/40k ones on there which is a shame as I love these bundles.

Can you give me some recommendations in which order to read the books from the Humble Bundle? And is it worth to read if I have absolutely no knowledge about Warhammer, yet?

Thanks,
Carsten

For the non-Fantasy books, the Horus Heresy ones have a definite order being numbered books in the series although they are significantly set apart in that series.

For the other 40K books, the Macharian Crusade is before the Fall of Cadia so if you want to read them in a historical order, that would be first.

Potentially, I'd read Devastation of Baal prior to Dark Imperium.

Based on my own perception of quality, I'd read Know No Fear first.

Other than Warhammer Fantasy prior to Age Of Sigmar books, I have no offerings for a reading order for those. I'll be working my way through them though.

On some Bundles you can also specify a charity, rather than the one they choose. My wife works for a very small charity, so I change it to them as often as I can.
