Title says it, I’m so happy that there is a 40k community on Lemmy. I don’t paint or play the table top but I love the lore and the books and I’ve spent a few years lurking on the Reddit sub enjoying looking at armys. Seeing everyone’s painting abilities is genuinely wonderful. The skill and creativity on display makes me smile. I will go ahead and fade back into upvoting every mini I see now.

I’m happy there is one too. I’m hoping more people join Lemmy so more communities are active. Been reading the Horus Heresy series and after some difficulty getting through False Gods, I’m up to Fulgrim.

Can’t go wrong with the Horus Heresy series. My intro, like many was the blue boys, specifically Nightbringer.

I loved the Ahriman Books, there is also a great Audiobook for them on Audible. Otherwise the Ciaphas Cain Books are great, even though they get a bit repetitive after a while. If you want some Space Marine Action I can recommend the Uriel Ventris Books, even though they sometimes use a bit too much “For Courage and honour!” Also the Infinite and the Divine is just fun

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.
