Warhammer 40k

3928 readers
3 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.

I like the aesthetic of sm, eldar, drakhari, tau, orks. Gameplay wise I don't know what I will prefer as I've never played a full game or my own list.

So how the hell did you choose your first army?

Helsreach. Crusading knights in space trapped in a sci-fi siege of a walled city? Yes please. See the video adaptation of the story below that was later made by a fan of the story (and eventually taken down by games workshop to be moved to their Warhammer+ service but has been re-uploaded by someone else, but that's a long story in itself).

When has it been on wh+? I've watched it three times on YouTube (yes I love it) but haven't seen it on wh+. Are you thinking of the Astartes animation?

It was supposed to be, which is the line they gave when they shut down all the community content creators. not sure they ever followed through with that. Gw gets my money on rules books only these days so i never did the wh+ thing
