Where to start (lemmy.world)

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!

@Xenxs @Cotillion189 for a long time the setting was static. But a few years ago they released Dark Imperium, which advanced the storyline and modernized/codified some concepts, notably the Primaris space marines. Leviathan is the most recent release, and updates the overall narrative again. That could be a good start if you want to catch up on what’s current. Disclaimer: I’ve yet to read it

Warhammer 40k

1 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.
