The Black Library has put out a comprehensive list of all novels and anthologies in their Horus Heresy series.
I have reprinted it here since so many times people want to know what is what. Not all of us have been buying the novels for the last six years since day one. (I have!)

These can be read in any order you choose, though we would suggest
reading the first five books in the series before any others, as they
lay a lot of the ground work, up to the Dropsite Massacre. We tend to
find it easier to read the books in the order they were published, but
if you want to go straight for one that details your favourite Legion’s
exploits, then there’s also nothing wrong with that.
THE REST
Here, we’ve grouped the stories into approximate time periods
relating to some of the pivotal events that have been covered in the
main novels so far. This will help you work out where they fit in the
timeline.

I have been looking for the original order of the books for a while. Thank you!!
I was expecting an actual time line XD
I feel as though The First Heretic should be at the beginning of that list...
