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!

That’s unfortunate. The community aspect is imo the best part of the hobby.

Those 2 series do require at least a very basic working knowledge of how WH40k works. If you know the names of the 4 chaos gods, what space marines are, and what imperial guardsmen are you should be fine. You don’t need detailed historical knowledge of the universe to enjoy them.

Warhammer 40k

!warhammer40k@lemmy.world

Create post

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.
