I'm also dipping my toes into 40k lore
It kind of depends on what factions you care about, and what kinds of stories you like to read, this is pretty much where I'm at.
The horus heresy - I'm still working my way through this, there's a ton of books and stories, not all of them are necessarily worth it and some of them kind of rehash some of the same events from different perspectives. Read the first 3 or 4, then you can kind of skip around until the end, there's a few suggested reading lists floating around online to help you decide what you want to read. The heresy takes place 10k years before the main 40k universe, so it gets you a solid primer on why the universe ended up the way it is.
Pretty much all of the eisenhorn stories are pretty good, and get you a bit away from the giant battles with space Marines and such so you can get more of a feel for what else is going on around the imperium.
Pretty much anything written by Dan Abnett is pretty good, he's pretty widely accepted to be one of the better and more consistent 40k writers. There's some valid criticism of him, I won't pretend he's the world's best writer, but pretty much everything he's done is readable and enjoyable.
If you like orks (I like orks) Brutal Kunnin' and Da Big Dakka are both fun reads, and Mike Brooks seems to get orks and other xenos pretty well.
That's about where I'm at personally. Not too sure where I'll go from here, I got a ton of the heresy left to get through still, and besides that I'll honestly probably just grab whatever happens to catch my eye at a book store or library
thanks!!
