So... what is it all about?

I saw a short clip of some trooper(?) who said something for the emperor and it was quite brutal and looked super fun. I have never read or looked up WH40K stuff. What am I missing out on?

"Start" is also a hard term to define. Do you want to table top? Do you want to learn about the lore? Do you want to read books?

I guess the various Wikis will give you a high level overview of the general idea of the universe. You can then dive into races and historic events, geopolitics, inter-empire politics, etc.

You want to rid or gaem?
Started a few months back on the books, for good or bad, with the horus heresy series, since that seemed to be the or near chronological beginning.
Pretty cool so far (book 32 (?), deathfire but I skipped every single anthology book) but most of the stuff not involving the legionaries/primarchs is really REALLY boring. I wanna see how the post humans/demi gods fail, dammit! Mad


Not attracted to any of the gaems so far, space marine is probably the most mainstream one?

In a nutshell: every sci-fi trope turned up to eleven, then brake the dial, and turn it all the way around to eleven again. And again. And again.

It's not meant to be taken seriously, because it is ridiculously over the top by design. And that's why it's so much fun.

I guess Luetin's videos are a good way to start.








And yes, that Space Marine shooter game is a good place to start too. Dirt cheap these days when on sale.

Bought some as a young teen just to paint them (classic warhammers).
I replay Dark Omen, with/out mod, every year.
I long for a proper WH tactical game, but it won't ever exist, since it would effectively kill the figurine business model.

Faggy, well-off people like myself?
But then again, I'm talking to someone that tried to emulate their glory by sculpting then creepily licking little feta cheese mock-up of those.

Always cute to see a Greek giving lessons to someone that actually has a future Smile

Since Aristotle is long dead, looks like you learned "the pictures" from the magazines behind mom's caravan.

Started to read a bit of the lore, i.e. Horus Heresy. Which is basically "30k". It's where most of the detailed lore takes place. And there is also a lot of "origin" stories about the Necrotyr, Dark Eldars, the Ancients whatever, the emperor and his weird origins etc.

Very over the top, very entertaining. I highly suggest the Audiobooks. The voices add another layer of awesomesauce Smile

Or another great source would be youtube, there is a guy who made pretty much all the lore into "long" clips

https://www.youtube.com/user/Luetin09

Those are quite excellent, for those who prefer a more compact and more visual way of consuming information Smile

Just play the first 2 Dawn of War games, it'll give you enough insight to the 40K verse.
