Holy shit.
I've been waiting for my kids to be old enough to watch this movie. Once they're all like 16, I'm just gonna hit them with a casual "hey, let's watch this old sci-fi movie" and give them no other details. Mwahahaha
I’ve done something similar…
“What are you watching?”
“An old animated movie from my childhood. Just started, want to watch?”
“Sure, what’s it called?”
“The Secret of NIMH”
I still can’t get them to watch The Last Unicorn.
"I have a movie you're going to love. It's called Return to Oz."
“Mr. Simpson, this is the most blatant case of false advertising since my suit against the film 'The Neverending Story'.”

The Imperium has less political intrigues and sabotage than my wife's work place.
The Imperium in EvE Online might have her workplace beat.
It truly is impressive how much drama a game about spreadsheets can have.
I’m pretty sure that IS a workplace.
I thought I was safe because none of the boys I dated even knew what 40k was, then I dated a girl and SHE taught me about 40k. You're NEVER safe.
Kissing girls doesn’t spare you
Was going to inquire. Thanks for answering that, Cap.
Glad to help lol
What army / faction do you play / prefer? I have an old bet to settle.
(You can probably guess the subject, but I don't want to prime your answer)

Only reason my GF knows anything about 40k because of me is because I used the Mechanicum not knowing the actual technicals of how anything works to set up a joke about me being a software magos because all I do is write endless canticles of the endl semicolon
I ensnared my partner by describing the mechanicus as "Evangelical Transhumanists" and then giving her the Flesh and Steel audiobook (which is just a genuinely great piece of scifi all on its own WHEN DO WE GET THE SEQUEL GW PLEASE). Now she's color-coordinating the paint job on her Trayzen and Orikan minis and drunkenly holding court on how the Drukhari are the 'only moral faction'.
~~help me what have I done~~
If she's defending the morals of the Drukhari I'd start worrying about how much time she spends on certain parts of the internet if I were you.
Specifically the parts of the internet that involve giving her ideas for very not safe for family television things she plans to do to you.
I'm just worried because it's a bad take. I'm pretty sure they take great pride in being immoral.
I could see them being defended as the most moral faction.
Even Tyranids and Orks are arguably "more moral" than Drukhari! From either objective or subjective views on morality!
The Drukhari LITERALLY get off on being evil. They know they're doing wrong, and that's hot. That it keeps Slaanesh at bay temporarily in pure self interest isn't any greater a justification than the Imperium's uber-fascism for self interest or a Tyranid's hunger, and even if you assume it is, the Aeldar, who they could join btw, or Tau, at a minimum, are still a greater good!
Plus it ignores that the Ynnari succeeded and offer a viable alternative and every single Drukhari that didn't immediately convert is proving they are what they are because it is what they want to be. And the Aeldar and Harlrquins have ALWAYS had a way around having their souls consumed without indulging in hyper consent-free S&M!
I see the core idea of the take, but it's still just plain wrong.
His girl is absolutely going to sacrifice his soul to a dark and ever hungry god the MOMENT she gets a flimsy excuse and he needs to watch his ass.
It seems like you've mostly read about Drukhari from second hand sources as opposed to the novels or codexes, or at least from recent ones.
The Drukhari LITERALLY get off on being evil.
It is more like eating a good meal than anything else based on descriptions in multiple novels.
They know they’re doing wrong,
Define 'wrong', they are from a different culture and morality is always veiwed through a cultural lense. There is no universal morality and wasps are proof of that.
That it keeps Slaanesh at bay temporarily in pure self interest
You eat living things because you must (yes plants included) out of pure self interest. Again morality is not universal, if you believe it is please show me a kilo of compassion or a gram of altruism.
the Aeldar, who they could join btw
Potentially join the Craftworlders, as many would fail and die before they could effectively mask themselves from Slaanesh. Going from Craftworlder to Corsair to Drukhari is much easier than the reverse.
And for the record the Craftworlders all worship a god of murder... which they have a lot of issues with and do recognise as a moral problem. Not necessarily an improvement.
Plus it ignores that the Ynnari succeeded and offer a viable alternative and every single Drukhari that didn’t immediately convert
The overwhelming majority don't know for certain that the Ynnari's claims are true, and they're from a society where trust is nearly non-existant. Read the Queen of Blades novel about Lelith Hexperax for some good insight on this point. Again Ynnead is not exactly a morally good god, and is at best neutral, as it is a god of death.

Okay I am using that analogy, thank you
I've never kissed a boy but at this point I might need someone to get me started on Warhammer, it's scary how big it's gotten & how I don't have any time for even much simpler things.
sigh
I'm gonna have to take the bullet and tell my girlfriend I'm gonna go kiss a boy because I really want to know more about 40k
If anything is understandable, that is.
No subsequent questions should be raised.
I remember when they were doing Lord of the rings Warhammer. That was like 20 years ago. I bought a set, it's still on my shelf unpainted
Yes, this sounds reasonable.
I can understand this.
I couldn't relate, couldn't even understand, not even imagine if you said you read all 500 books, went on two cons each year, and made costumes. Totally unbelievable if you would have made friends & found time for them.
All great things, but I assume some superhuman capabilities are necessary (or, just more life options in regards to financial-time situation).
I give it two weeks before you're randomly musing about your desire to die along side Sanguinius in defence of the Eternity Gate.

I recommend starting by reading the Eisenhorn trilogy, or anything by Dan Abnett, really. That's how I got started - I figured I should learn a bit about the WH40k universe, googled what is the best book, recognised Abnett as the co-author of the modern Guardian of the Galaxy comics (which I absolutely loved) and never regretted it.
Henry Cavill in shreds rn...
Nah. Not really.
I think she might be misunderstanding the problem. The problem is if he asks if she knows about it and asks if she'd like to talk out hear about it. And TBH if you're not (both) able to half-listen to the other ramble, and not cool with the other doing that, you've got some skills to master before you're ready to commit to a long term relationship. Because I guarantee you, there will always be stuff each of you likes that the other does not. Listening without going crazy is a skill. Just make sure you listen enough to know if they're ranting like a maniac, or you might wake up one day married to a Trump supporter or something.
She says that like it's a bad thing...
Terrifying. Nightmare inducing.
If I am ever heald captive I am going to recite 40k lore, I will either spread the infection and make a friend or I wilk get my ass beat and they have to find out how much more annoying I am while concussed.
What if he doesn't try to teach you about 40k?
I'm not 100% on the lore but, it may be a sign that they are a heretic.
I want to tell her I'm a boy who knows nothing about Warhammer 40k, but I'm afraid that a boy will hear and try to teach me about Warhammer 40k
