Space Marine 2 is the latest action game, and many people are experiencing the dark darkness of the 41st century for the first time. My friend didn't know that Warhammer 40,000 has Orks. She also didn't know that they reproduce by spores. Oh, to have been so young. You're in luck if Space Marine 2 was your first 40K experience and you want more. Humble Bundle has the Tales of the Space Marine Chapters package, a pile of ebooks centered around Space Marines in Warhammer 40K. The first six of these can be purchased for as little as $1.
The 24-book bundle will cost you $18 and is a sort-of Space Marine sampler platter. Each book, with the exception of a few short story collections, focuses on a particular flavor of Space Marine. This is because the large, armored children of the God-Emperor come in many different varieties. Here's how it works: Each Chapter is descended directly from a Primarch, a clone of the Emperor who was slyly yoinked as a baby into random sectors of space in the distant past. They then adopted the culture of whichever scattered interstellar pockets of humanity they landed on. Rediscovered as adults, they were brought into the Imperium fold to fight the endless war against the galaxy's countless evils. Each Primarch served as the genetic and cultural template for the Chapter's host cloned soldiers.
Space Marine 2's protagonists, for example, are from the Ultramarines Chapter, the blue-plated Imperium poster boy chapter. The bundle includes the Legends of the Dark Millennium collection of short stories, which is included in the middle tier of the bundle. This tier gives you 14 books at $10.
We've also got books for the fans' favorite Chapters. Deus Encarmine is a book that centers on the vampiric Blood Angels. If you prefer space vikings, then Blood of Asaheim, the Space Wolves novel will be to your liking. Angels of Darkness is the novel of the secretive and monastic Dark Angels. Even the psychic Grey Knights are represented on the list with their own novel.
There's more! I could go on and on. You can choose any bundle size and get every book in ePUB or MOBI format to read on your device of choice. The Tales of the Space Marine Chapters Bundle will be available until Oct. 5, 2024. If your 40K desires are not satisfied, the only way to satisfy them is through fan wikis.
