Let's run down some of the major storylines:
-
Horus Heresy - The big one, lots of involved authors. A massive tale told from all possible perspectives. Not for the casual reader.
-
Gaunt's Ghosts - Probably the most highly regarded of the serial stories. Basically an entire brigade of Rambos with no home to go back to.
-
Eisenhorn & Ravenor - Inquisitors doing inquisitor shit. Pretty much every character either turns out to be a hypocrite or gets fucked over for trusting a hypocrite.
-
Ciaphas Cain - Blackadder Goes Forth in SPAAAAACE.
-
Ragnar - Mary-wolfing-sue incarnate. Not even Bjorn's plot armor is this thick.
However, instead of going into 40k, I suggest you pick up Glen Cook's The Black Company. Can be a bit more confusing at times but the characters feel a lot more real.
