So how would one start checking Warhammer without any prior knowledge?

I've seen a bit of it around but know nothing about it. I do love large world building with extensive story lines (I really enjoyed the entire Dune series, even the prequels his son wrote). So if I wanted to start reading WH books, where should I start?

    Initially I wouldn't recommend it, but I've been coming around to the idea that you should start with the first three Horus Heresy novels, because the event is so foundational to the rest of 40K.
    I by no means recommend someone then go on to the other 60 books in the series, but Horus Rising, False Gods, and Galaxy In Flames provide so much background and context to what comes after.
