The Horus Heresy cycle is a good way to start. It is 10 000 years before the "current" events in 40k and explains a lot. But it is in of itself a big pile of books. I would say, read the first 3 and then pick whichever book interests you next.
Looks like I can pick up a Boxset at my "local" comic book store. So in gonna do that on the weekend.
Is this a prequel that relies on any sort of knowledge before going in?
Forexample; in the known space universe the "juggler of worlds" is set before the events of the ringworld series. But it relies on previous knowledge about races and spaces, for it to be enjoyable :)
