So is the game worth it? Yes and a thousand times yes. Ok yeah it can be complex to teach, but once you get a hang of the rules and a passion for teaching it, then it gets much easier to condense the information for people into manageable chunks. Ok yeah it can also be a looong game, especially at 4 players when people don’t know the rules so well, but that cuts down when people get to know it better and there is less AP. Twisted: A closer look at the Maloghurst, emissary of the Warmaster Horus as he navigates the changing nature of the XVI Legion where rivalry and personal ambition run rampant, and to contend with a daemonic plot thrown into the bargain, the Twisted is going to have to make alliances with factions more twisted in soul than in body...McNish, Cliff (May 19, 2011).

This book is a collected Anthology of Short Stories and Novellas released over the course of the series: The audience has a partially omniscient point-of-view, since a number of significant events, the general outline, and the ending of the Horus Heresy are known in advance. Story elements have been published by Games Workshop starting1988 ( Merrett 2007, p.6[not numbered]); a comprehensive outline, including the conclusion, was published in the four-volume Horus Heresy art book series between May 2004 and July 2006. This series was republished in a 2007 omnibus edition, see Collected Visions (in § Related works: Selections). Ben Counter seems to get an undeservedly bad rap for this. I found his writing to be just about as good as Abnett's or McNeill's and some of his battle scenes were exceedingly well-crafted. I also don't think he is to blame for the glaring weakness of this book. That seems to be to be more an issue with the overall direction of the series, and the task he was set to fulfil.

The First Heretic details the fall to Chaos of Primarch Lorgar and the 17th Space Marine Legion, the "Word Bearers". Decades before the start of the rebellion they become heretics relative to the Imperial Truth by introducing religious worship. This results in public and humiliating censure of Lorgar and the entire assembled Legion, by the Emperor himself. The despairing Lorgar is subsequently swayed by two of his most trusted lieutenants, who are in secret allegiance with Chaos; eventually both Primarch and Legion covertly embrace (and promote) the Primordial Truth, many years before Horus' corruption. The story is largely told from the point of view of Argel Tal, a Captain of the Word Bearers, who becomes commander of a Chaos- possessed elite Legion unit. It spans several decades, starting 43years before the events on IsstvanV ( Book 5) and concluding around the time the Word Bearers are on their way to assault Calth ( Book 19). [24] Censure follows Aeonid Theil's guerrilla war on Calth and his attempt to escape the dead planet and return to the war at large.While Horus’ rebellion burns across the galaxy, a very different kind of war rages beneath the Imperial Palace. The Emperor of Mankind, alongside the ‘Ten Thousand’ Custodian Guard, the Sisters of Silence and the Mechanicum forces of Fabricator General Kane, fight to control the nexus points of the ancient eldar webway that lie closest to Terra, now infested by daemonic entities after Magnus the Red's intrusion. But with traitor legionaries and corrupted Battle Titans now counted among the forces of Chaos, and a malevolent entity of the Warp circling the field, the noose around the Throneworld is slowly tightening. And for the Emperor, He must confront His enigmatic past and ultimately decide whether to hold onto His failing dream, or accept the Age of Darkness that He had a hand in bringing forth to the Imperium.
