Well your advisor has had a good idea by suggesting starting with the initial trilogy of the Horus Heresy (Horus Rising, False Gods, Galaxy in Flames) but have in mind that these belong to the Warhammer 30K-lore. It is a good point to start but if you crave to see the touch of Chaos I think it will slightly disappointed.

The novels with the most Slaaneshi touch are those centered on the Emperor’s Children, Fulgrim and Angel Exterminatus. As for the initial trilogy, Fulgrim tells the tale of a Primarch’s corruption by Chaos which is also a good point to start from. If you want to better understand the place of Chaos in the universe I’d definiately recommend reading Legion or The Damnation of Pythos shortly after.

The Eisenhorn-series is also a good choice if you want to explore the W40K universe away from your typical battlefield.
