      honestly, yes. This is why I actually started learning the game on Table Top Simulator, then when I found the first army(yup first...) that I got into I ended up building a 1000 point version for the real table top. THEN I ended up not liking the way I painted half of them and was able to get most of the pain off or had to replace those minis (because I'm insane). But before I did that I just practiced painting in general... then I had to replace or redo the whole army(because I'm REALLY insane). Then I found out I really liked Necrons... and yeah... currently building that...
      F you Games Workshop... you created literal plastic Crack. But we love it.

      HH isn't even really the same setting, and Horus Rising is one of the worst choices because you'll have no idea who these people are so there's no impact in their downfall, and the books that follow are mediocre at best

Here are some good entry points if you're interested." There is no shortage of stuff about why someone hates this or that, what's wrong with it, why it disappoints, the scandals, etc. I'd love to see (and create!) more stuff that shares a passion in an accessible way and invites folks in to enjoy it.

    One of my favorite 40k stories was actually entirely in the administratum. Really it's the B plot in one of the books where this low level scribe in a huge cubicle floor sorts through requests and uses the Emperor's Tarot cards to divine if they are important enough to move up the chain. She gets like a vision from the emperor that this one request in her stack is somehow highly important and has to basically go on a giant quest across her hive to go thorough all these red tape departments to escalate the paper to the right level of supervisor so that it can be heard. Like people she meets asking the way actually die in the process of traveling and getting this one damn basically telegram into the right hands. Warhammer 40K, the world so grim dark even the paperwork can kill you.

    I am one of those with over 10k points of minis and don't even want to play a table game of 40k.
    2 fun facts about Orks:
    1 - They have actually devolved and they used to be much smarter, larger and stronger.
    2 - All orks are bald so if you see an ork with hair, it is not real hair but instead an hair squig :D. Now that you have heard of squigs have fun with the insanity
    Also a good series to start is the Ciaphas Cain series. It has it's flaws but it is funny and a good intro to the lore. Also, the audiobooks are great.

Trazyn the Infinite says he could heal the Emperor using his vast knowledge and ancient technology as a Necron. But this would only be to preserve the Emperor as a part of his personal collection of trophies and not to help humanity out. That said, even if the Emperor did come back now, his psyche is far too gone off into the deep end and he would not at all be the same person he once was during the times of the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy way back in the 31st millennium.

    Random Adeptus Administratum lore:
    On Terra (Earth) there are Paper gangs, who try to scrounge up paper to sell it back to the Administratum because they (basically) use up more paper than the whole Imperium can produce.
    These Gangs are in an eternal struggle with Burner crews, whose job it is to burn the used paper. It's wild.

    I'm no good at painting and I dont have steady hands, so I'll probably never paint any Warhammer minis on my own. But, I really enjoy watching Luetin and WarriorTier videos, because the lore is fascinating to me. Played my fair share of Vermintide, which is a really solid game, and I plan on playing through the Space Marine games at some point in the future. WH40k scratches my Sci-fi itch in a whole different way to other franchises.

      Believe me when I tell you, if I can paint miniatures, you can too. I have one arm and that arm has severe nerve damage. Don't exclude yourself from painting miniatures before you try. You can pop into a Games Workshop shop and they will provide a free miniature which they will guide you through assembling as well as let you use their paint brushes and paint, they give useful advice to get better at painting. This will save you spending money to try the hobby.
      They can also guide you through the learning process of playing the tabletop; the first 40k tabletop game I ever played was in the G.W. shop local to me, against the manager, during business hours. The game 'training' do require an appointment, but it is completely free.
      I would be very surprised if you don't get hooked. There is a lot of potential for relaxation. (I have no artistic ability, but I have become quite good at painting miniatures over time).
      I hope you give it a try. What have you got to lose? Except a few zeros from the end of your savings account😂

Untold thousands of dollars later and hundreds of rule and fiction books, thousands of miniatures, a giant collection of paints and fancy brushes (never painted before WH40k but its so relaxing!), 4 army carrier bags, and so many computer games, I still love it. . actually I had played Final Liberation before the store and was puzzled by what that game was about and the blotchy pixels were intriguing but not enough. The box is a work of art that i display in my office.

    I’ve loved the 40k universe and lore for so long now. Unfortunately, I’ve seen a disturbing trend lately of people looking in from the outside and labeling the fans of the universe as “fascists” for liking the universe, especially if you like space marines or anything related to the Imperium. 40k always drew me in because of the fact the EVERYONE was the bad guy, and it was fun to roleplay and get sucked in to this world where everything and everyone is evil. And now that its gotten popular, and especially in this day and age, fans of the series seem to be getting vilified for participating in this lore and roleplay (though I will admit it’s a small minority that are actually trying to do this).
    It reminds me of when Helldivers 2 came out, and everyone on Twitter was roleplaying with quotes like “for democracy!” and “we must liberate this planet!”, and then getting blasted for “not having media literacy” and “not realizing you’re the bad guy”. I remember a viral thread where some girl posted about how she thought the gameplay was fun, but would not continue to play the game because it was a colonizer simulator. I don’t know, I guess I just think people should be allowed to like dark lore like 40k without being labeled as fascist. Liking a property and its lore is not an endorsement of the politics of the universe. Sometimes it’s just fun to pretend to be the bad guy 🤷‍♂️

      Problem is that a lot of the lore is a scathing satire, or at least shouldn't be taken at face value. Some fans buy in at face value and don't think much about it, and thats really too bad because there are a ton of layers to the lore and when you dig deeper you often find hilarious bits of irony and such. And of course like you mentioned there are tourists who see things that gives the grimdark future a fascist-lite facade... but like it is merely a veneer.

      @@kdog3908 from both sides. Like Arch who thinks that Warhammer is an inherently right wing game and that the imperium are the good guys. Uh no its a satire, and the Imperium are not good. The inquisitions credo is "Innocence Proves Nothing" just being suspected of heresy is enough justification for them to murder you. But hey if you think space fascism makes you the good guy, maybe you also think the man with the tiny mustache was a good guy to.

    I am here for the tea.
    Love the glasses, they are really pretty.
    Warhammer is hecking cool. The background is so fantastic.
    But Alanah? Where is the last 10 minutes? We were teased 30 minutes.
    I have summoned the Inquisition.
    My favorite Administratum tidbit, is that a system can broadcast a plea for help. The request lands on some administrators office, and the paper work to assemble a response starts. But it can take such a long time to get done, that by the time the fleet breaks warp, the system they have come to help, has been dead for a hundred years.
    If you haven’t, the Ciaphas Cain books are excellent. A more light hearted series of stories

    This was the opposite of a rant.
    And given all the things you talked about: figurines, books videogames, etc, I have decided... To wait for the movie.
    Appreciated. 😅

    12:20 Disney's not even doing a good job of maintaining consistency within its canon; Star Wars/Marvel shows and comics and video games and movies and novels all contradict each other or retcon things. 😢 I'd honestly be happier if Disney just gave up on pretending that they had a plan.
