Is Horus Heresy worth playing?

Well, if you are into the Warhammer universes, the Heresy series is worth at least some of your time. There is some good work here, and it will flesh out your understanding of the games you play and the lore behind them. It is not the great science-fiction epic of our time, and it has its frustrations.

Is Horus Rising A good place to start?

In my opinion, no. Recommend a fifty-plus book series for introductions and people will get scared off, especially if they think they have to read the whole thing. Just because it’s the chronological beginning doesn’t mean you should start there; Star Wars certainly didn’t.

Horus was initially hailed as the “Greatest of the Emperor’s Primarchs” before his fall to the Powers of Chaos.

Could Horus have won?

If Horus was powerful enough to mortally wound the God Emperor, then logically it would follow that it is possible for him to beat the Emperor, even if the Emperor didn’t hold back out of fatherly love, even if it is very very unlikely. Absolutely without a doubt.
