I actually started reading some of these novels for this exact reason. I figured that if I liked them, I'll have plenty to keep me occupied for the next several years. Didn't like the Inquisitor novels, so I stopped that series. The Horus Heresy got a little bogged down in the second book, so I read a summary online and decided to skip the other 50 books (LITERALLY). But the first book in the Gaunt's Ghost series has me intrigued so far, so we'll see how that goes. I totally agree: The sheer quantity of lore that Games Workshop produces is truly mind boggling. It's more than Star Wars and Star Trek combined I'd bet. Truly insane.

Ciaphas Cain is a fun series of books ... he plays a cheesy anti-hero who always seems to win, but it's fun in that it's set in the 40k universe.

Well they finally got to Horus and his legions attacking Terra in circa 2019 ... the first book in the series was published in 2006. I normally just check out the author (Dan Abnett) or the particular storyline of the plotl (Emperor/Custodes/Alpha Legion/Mechanicus/Titans) before committing myself to listen to the audiobook as they are very well done.
