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
- Keep it civil.
- No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
- 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.
- No political or social cause agenda pushing.

MODERATORS
For chaos The Ahriman omnibus follows Ahriman from thr thousand sons legion after the heresy and is a fun story. It's got lots of thousand sons warp fuckery and some great characters.
The night lords omnibus is one of the first 40k books I read going into 40k with not a whole lot of knowledge. It's still probably my favorite 40k book, the characters are written incredibly well, the dark moments of horrific comedy are there, it features some great fights.
Fabius bile omnibus follows fabius bile of the emperors children legion in what's essential a great mad scientist story. Once again great characters and a fun story definitely worth the read.
The lion son of the forest is a very new 40k that follows the lions return to the setting. From what I remember it doesn't require a whole lot of backstory to be neccesary, as it explains a lot along the way. It's very involved with some dark angels space marine characters so I could be a decent jumping off point of sorts.
