Warhammer 40k

3903 readers
12 users here now

A community dedicated to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a tabletop setting in the far, distant future.

This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.

Rules

  1. Keep it civil.
  2. No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
  3. Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
  4. No political or social cause agenda pushing.

MODERATORS
 

Hello all. I have been lurking 40k subreddits and now here on Lemmy for quiet some times. I want to get into 40k universe and I need your help. Where to start? I love books. Which would you recommend to read first? Where to start in games?

All help is appreciated!

@Cotillion189 I always enjoyed the Inquisitor series by Dan Abnett. Usually pretty easy to find. My favorite fiction is Deathwing. It’s older, and not necessarily canonical with modern 40K. As far as games go, I thought Space Marine was pretty fun overall. Not too difficult, nor too easy. But there’s a lot of games out there, and I’ve not played most. Of course the miniatures are great. Opinion might vary on the games played with them, however
