Warhammer 40k

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.

How did you choose your first army? (lemmy.world)

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?

My father brought me into a hobby shop that had a bunch of second edition 40k models on sale. We had recently played the Space Hulk game, so I was familiar with elements of the 40k universe.

I saw the Chaos Space Marine range and was 100% in. I came home with 2 boxes of the cookie-cutter plastic marines, a squad of metal havocs, and the metal champion with the four-fingered power fist. The second edition Chaos codex cover was straight fire as well.

Good times!
