Thanks man, I apreciate the info. I guess what I'm trying to understand is, let's say when you started reading, did you felt kinda lost in terms of backstory?

Like how did the Space marines or "super humans" came to existence, what's the whole Emperor thing, formation of the diferent Chapters, how did the wars with the all the xenos started or where did they came from, the Warp... Those sort of questions. I'm not saying every first book of a series needs to give an extended introduction to the world and yes I can always check this wiki (although we can all agree is more enjoyable if it's being told within a narrative), but is there, at some point, some references to the origins? And if there is such series in the "early human days" that's exactly where I'd like to start.
