minus-squareEndorkend@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up29·edit-21 year agoI’ve never had anything related to WH40K. I’ve never played a game in the WH40K universe. I have watched a 30 hour video series on The God Emperor. Other 8-20 hour videos explaining the basic lore on each faction. And two video series that are probably 50+ hours, about the history of the WH40K universe overall. And apparently, I have still only scratched the surface. Do I have any intention of playing WH40K games or buying anything related to it? Nope, none what so ever. Am I likely to watch any more content related to WH40K? Yes, in fact, I have about 500 hours worth of videos in a playlist to watch later.

minus-squareryathal@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year ago40k lore is awesome because it’s completely ridiculous in so many ways, but at the same time completely realistic in many other ways.
minus-squareThe Picard Maneuver@startrek.websiteOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoThere’s so much for WH40K! I tried to dip my toe into it, but got overwhelmed about where to start.
minus-squareSemi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up9·1 year agoOne reason I avoid WH40K is I’m scared I’ll fall into a black hole of fandom and never be seen again.

minus-squareThe Picard Maneuver@startrek.websiteOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoThat would be me. Give me a month of it, and I’ll be up at one of those game shops painting minis every weekend.
minus-squareDojan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoThat sounds nice though. Expensive but nice.
minus-squareBlueKittyMeow@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoShare??? I’ve also got no interest in playing but want to explore the lore :D
minus-squareundeffeined@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoNot the person you asked the question but my recomendation for 40K lore is Luetin09 on YouTube. There’s a soothing quality to his voice when narrating the horrors of the grim future that is very pleasant to hear.
minus-squareAshyr@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoAny specific recommendations? I’ve played a few video games, but would love to explore a bit deeper
