Crazytuco, for me it was the other way around, trying to explain to my 22 yo exactly what an Adeptus Astartes was. I could the eye glaze a few times.

I still haven't been able to successfully bring up 40k to my friends or family. I have no idea where to begin and despite youtube being where I got most of my original info from, it's not a great place for "what is 40k" videos cuz that would have to be under 5 minutes long and I've yet to see one short enough to be palatable to casuals that was also well done and engaging.
But I get why its hard to make that content. |

Love the miniatures, but never got a chance to play 40k. I did play a lot of WHFB and still have my undead and O&G armies.
I can't paint for shit, but I have a few professionally painted minis that I get out and lovingly caress from time to time. ![]() |

Been listening to this guy playlist on lore. Never played the tabletop but love an interesting universe and lore. He has something like 50 hours of videos I listen to while doing other shit.
So, ordered some books. Gonna start with Eisenhorn. The video got sent me down the rabbit hole. ![]() THE IMPERIUM''S 10 WORST JOBS | WARHAMMER 40,000 Lore / History |

Somewhat related here, is anyone playing Necromunda? My group is considering starting up a campaign.

With most every activity cancelled these days for kids' school, kids' sports, volunteering, etc., I've actually had time to do some painting. I'll have to break this into a couple of posts.
Right before all life was shut down, my group was looking at possibly starting a Necromunda campaign. I went hard right and made a Venator gang using the Squat stat line. I'm close to being done with them, with only a little touch up left to do. I apologize now for the fact that my skills as a photographer and my raw talent as a hand model are equally lacking. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Conflicted on the primaris update. One hand they are awesome, other hand origin and implementation story are dumb.

A couple weeks ago I stumbled on some videos of people painting miniatures.
Now I've got the Shadowspear, Dark Imperium and Adeptas Sororitas boxed sets. Thinking about building a Word Bearers army for when the China Plague is over. |

Another Humble Bundle for Warhammer books is up. Basically pay $15.01 and you get ebook versions of all of these.
Personally, $15 for Ciaphas Cain, Gaunt's Ghosts, Eisenhorn, and Ravenor is a freaking steal anyhow. Deal is going for 16 days and 21 hours as of this post. https://www.humblebundle.com/books/warhammer-40000-series-starters-black-library-books $1 gets you Yarrick Ciaphas Cain: For The Emperor Last Chancers: 13th Legion Space Wolves: Space Wolf Mephiston: Blood of Sanguinius Mephiston: Blood of Sanguinius $8+ Space Marine Conquests: The Devastation of Baal Gaunt's Ghosts: First and Only Night Lords: Soul Hunter Ahriman: Exile Watchers of the Throne: The Emperor's Legion The Horusian Wars: Resurrection Tome of Fire: Salamander Kingsblade $15+ Eisenhorn: Xenos Ravenor Ultramarines: Nightbringer The Talon of Horus Vaults of Terra: The Carrion Throne The Beast Arises: I Am Slaughter Space Marine Battles: Rynn's World Rise of the Ynnari: Ghost Warrior Sisters of Battle: Faith and Fire Blood Angels: Deus Encarmine Farsight: Crisis of Faith Storm of Iron |

The stuff shown off over the last week for the upcoming 9th edition has me cautiously optimistic, particularly the Crusade campaign rules. And the AdMech stuff from Engine War has me pulling out the Omnissiah’s faithful and setting aside my World Eaters right now.

Quick question.
I've had a bit of "free time" on my hands lately and have been watching a lot of 40K fan films on YouTube. I noticed it seems everyone is referring to the Space Marines as "The Astartes" instead of "The Adeptus Astartes". Was there a change in the general naming convention in some revision by GW? Since the Rogue Trader days it was always the various Adepts of the Imperium, Adeptus Astartes Adeptus Mechanicus Adeptus Ministorum etc. |

They are the Adeptus Astartes. Sometimes it's shortened in both official and unofficial sources for the sake of shortening the mouthful that the term is. In the last few years GW has actually tried to slowly move away from space marines toward Adeptus Astartes, but this is more due to the fact that they can't copyright that term. |

In several of the "History of tge Space Marnies" type vids, the narrator talks about, "The Astartes are the elite fighting force..." I like the formal terminology, it sounds cool and has that "old" oubd they're going for with the pseudo Latin. I'd at least use it initially. In my day the Space Marines was the nickname (short hand) for Adeptus Astartes. |

I love the scene when the Marines are walking down the corridor to board the breaching torpedo and they pass the serfs on the right. The size difference is really illustrated well. |

The more I’m reading about the Crusade mode for 9th the more excited I’m getting.
|
|
|
Just listened to Crusade and other short stories on Audible. I may try Horus Heresies next. I'l. Have to keep an eye on Humblebundle for one of those audio deals.
|
|
|
If you haven't, check out Death of Hope. It's a fan made Heresy movie mostly involving the Ultrasmurfs and the Wordbearers. A few World Eaters show up. There are 2 "trailers" that are actually sort of prequels, then the main episode which is set onboard a Wordbearers battle barge in the warp.
Very much a return to grimdark! |
|

I actually ended up listening to Xenos, the first Eisenhorn. It was good. I'm digging this 40k stuff.
|
|
|
When is the Eisenhorn series going to premiere?
Hurry up! |
