Warhammer 40K lore: What do I need to know for Darktide?

Another vote for Dan Abnett, my first foray into 40k novels was Gaunt’s Ghosts and I thoroughly enjoyed them.

Also, if you haven’t seen it already, watch the fan film project “Astartes” Even if you’re not a 40k fan, its a brilliant project, and does an amazing job of capturing the tone of the 40k universe. Think of it as a palette primer, short and sweet, giving you a hint of what the world is like. There are 5 episodes, here’s part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bko5GgK5v8
