Get ready new blood, you’re in for the most epic journey, one of grim dark horror and incomprehensible wonder. 40k is unlike any other fictional verse and this man, this Lore Master helped lead me down that path. A path that has lead to days of discussions with my friends, an insane amount of written material, and a new found passion for imagination.

I hate when people ask me what the 40k story is, because it’s hard to explain that it’s so big you need a couple hours and it still will sound like nonsense lol. I have just started telling people pick one part and we will just cover that, and they can learn more later. 2 hours is an amazing rounded down summary.

[@Dagginakki]

My go to is, "its almost everything you can think of" because from the smallest stories to the "big story" it includes too much, if you asked whats the story of our universe, it would be impossible to give a specific answer. As wh40k is an universe with stories not just a story just like our universe

Thank you LT. Always welcoming to see a beginner's guide from a respectable source.

[@ZephronMVP]

Thanks for the video Luetin! As someone that got in to Warhammer 40k just now after putting in 120 hours in Space Marine 2 your videos have really helped! I'm also glad to hear that there is no "right way" to start learning and that you should really just go down the path that interest you since that's exactly what I started doing. I started reading the short Chapter descriptions in the game which led me to read up on many of them fully. I thought Calgar was cool so I started to look up other Chapter Master and found Dante for example. I'm on a Primarch streak right now and just finished reading up on Angron. It's the small things that I just assume pass by you veterans since you know so much but for example when they name dropped the "Treaty of Mars" ingame I just had to pause the game to read what it was, and I love it! Anyways, I rambled enough. Thanks again for the videos and if people have some "cool" stuff to recommend I'll gladly take tips! I'm mostly on the Space Marine hype right now so anything regarding them is most interesting! PS: The Daemonculaba is fuuuuuuuuucked

[@willhull7713]

The Daemonculaba is arguably the darkest thing ever written in 40k.

After a few months of trying to convince myself to start I finally just jumped ina few weeks ago. It's definitely intimidating but I realized there's no perfect place to start so I just found things that seemed cool and went from there. Any path you take will end up leading you down the right path as there is no "right path". Every 10 min video I'd watch turned into 3 more hours of videos/reading from that single original video. "Who's this? What's that? Who's that??" I LOVE IT!

Something for the starter, you can buy most of the tools from hardware stores. The snips are flush cutting pliers. You can buy a tradesman quality set for $15. The GW ones are 30 and are trash.

Honestly for me it took months of reading to get a full grasp of the 40k setting. And to this day I’m still learning new things about the lore. While that’s alright for someone like me. It’s not to everyone’s taste to have to do that much to understand a fictional setting. A video like this I imagine is much better for someone who can’t be bothered to read so much lore.

[@anthonyroosenmaallen2679]

Been getting into 40k since I played through the campaign of Marine 2. I've been watching you're playlist of 40k lore about halfway through and then making my way through the books, currently reading False Gods. Building an army seems like both a lot of fun and very time consuming (economically too). Don't have any questions I think just want to thank you for all the videos, you've been a great help.

[@DivineNihilism]

Welcome! Enjoy your stay!

[@jemas09]

Part of the appeal of Warhammer 40k lore is the mystery itself, and as a newcomer, I agree. But I’d go further and say that the fact a lot of the lore is tied up in hard-to-find books or codexes adds to that mystery. It feels like a real-world treasure hunt, where piecing together the universe is an adventure in itself.

Welcome new 40K fans, it's good to have you. Despite what you may have heard, the fandom is very welcoming and helpful to newbies. Please observe the following rules: 1: Yes, you can play Tau. Yes, we will make fun of you for doing so, don't worry, it's all just friendly ribbing. 2. Magnus did nothing wrong. 3. Please don't ask for female Space Marines - they already exist and are called "Sisters of Battle". Yes, they are just as cool as Male Space Marines despite what tourists to the hobby say. 4. Don't let "Dave" put you off - no one likes him anyway. 5. Buy whatever models you think are cool. Paint them however you like, go nuts - they are your models! There are plenty of amazing painters that have free video tutorials on KZbin. Pop into your local Warhammer store for a free tutorial on painting - you may get a free model or two to introduce you. 6. Have fun! 7. For the Emperor!

Around a year and a half / two years ago I discovered your channel and started watching out of curiosity of this weird new thing called 40k since I moved down the street from a warhammer store. Fast forward today and I've played hundreds of hours of Tabletop Simulator with World Eaters, Drukhari, Necrons, Dark Angels, Tau and recently Adeptus Mechanicus. I've read 3 hefty books and am considering moving on to The Infinite and the Divine very soon. I've got a half built Necrons force with the Void Dragon sitting on my bookcase. I've gotten better at the craft of hobbying, formed a little group of friends to play games with online and watch tournaments and become enamoured with this universe. Now I find myself back where it all started, on one of your beginner's guides; not to learn this time, but to almost do a victory lap of nostalgia and remember it was your channel that stopped me being intimidated or shy about getting involved with this community and sent me into the best hobby I've ever gotten into.

As someone who’s new to the 40k universe I have been researching books as a jumping off point and find it stupidly hilarious that everyone recommends the Horus heresy, a 54 book series😂😂

[@rossgadsby9663]

I would recommend the Ragnar Blackmane books. It's a good story and you get to discover the universe with him. Granted through the eyes of the space wolves chapter. Any book you choose is going to explain things from that factions view. So keep that in mund. And it's only 4 books lol

[@donkeysunited]

While I had the background of playing Dawn of War and Dark Crusade many years ago, my first books were the Eisenhorn trilogy by Dan Abnett and then the first few books in the Gaunts Ghost series. He's great at describing the brutality of 40K war from the more normal human's perspective. There is so much material out there, basically just pick anything and then decide if you want to learn more about the Emperor / Imperial Guard or Space Marines or Titans or Chaos or the Eldar or Orcs or Necrons or... Luetin's videos are good but very in depth. There are other channels with shorter videos, including overviews of the different races or just a quick summary of the entire Horus Heresy. They might help you decide which path you want to read more about.

[@willhull7713]

I agree with @donkeysunited. Start with either Gaunts Ghosts or Eisenhorn. It's good to see the world of 40k through the eyes of a regular human. Either Guardsmen (Gaunt) or Inquisitors (Eisenhorn)

[@casualsilver2702]

Welcome to 40k, here's some tidbits. Don't buy directly from Games Workshop or Forgeworld if you want models. Buy secondhand or 3d print models. Warhammer games range mostly from alright to bad. The really good ones to my knowledge are Space Marine 1+2, Dawn of War 1+2 with all of their expansions (except Soulstorm but that one has mods to compensate), Mechanicus, Inquisition, Vermintide 1+2, Darktide, Gothic Armada II, Rogue Trader, and Shootas, Blood & Teef. There are a lot of books set in both Fantasy and 40k, not all of them are good. If you want to read, I suggest starting with Gaunt's Ghosts or Ciaphus Cain. The TTRPGs are great. Warhammer Fantasy 2nd Edition and every book connected to the Rogue Trader line are highly recommended and have a ton of lore attached Female Space Marines are fine to think about or draw or create models of, but they cannot exist officially due to the lore and thus never will be. Do not be a tourist and try to change that. While no faction is good, the Imperium is by far the best choice for the galaxy. Chaos consumes souls and degeneracy. The Dark Eldar perform ever more degenerate acts to stave off the chaos god they birthed that's feeding off their souls. The Craftworld Eldar are too pompous, arrogant, supremacist, and few in numbers to ever fix the galaxy, Orks just want to fight, Tyranids want to eat, Necrons are too divided and might do bit of a culling against the living when they wake up, and the Tau justify their actions with the facade of "The Greater Good" while also being a small empire. And the squats are just a fallen empire of dwarves.

I started with your videos and now have tree armies fully painted, the first ten Horus Heresy audio books plus fall of Cadia and The Infinite and Devine, you cannot go wrong with any part of this universe, your videos are awesome when I'm at work!

I'm new into 40k in general and the lore is fascinating. Since the release of Spacemarine 2, i'm farming your channel, love your content brother.

[@zpermicide3258]

i would like to add 2 cents. I was new to the hobby 5ish years ago before the world screeched to a halt lol. And everything Luetin is giving you as tips, advice, & guidance is all 100% dead on and luckily how i went blazing down the rabbit hole lol. Started with the Ynnari and wouldn't want it any other way and then i spider webbed out my knowledge and prob 2k in my army i could easily drop another 2k on more to add and complete my army lol. This mans word is solid gold and always great & as a person and for the community is nice, solid, helpfl, & even bounce ideas off of.

[@jackthompson2578]

Excellent timing to welcome a potential new influx of fans! Good job on covering lots, but being as concise as possible. You really have done wonders for this hobby and its community, so thank you Luetin. :)

[@johnphillips6515]

Great video! (And I say that as an ancient old git who's been into 40K since the 1st edition). It's a great hobby to be in, whether you want to paint, play or just read up on the lore.

[@patrickdillon500]

Dammit, i love me an intro video for Warhammer. I've been in this hobby for 22 years and it still holds my attention. Another great video from Luetin!

[@jay_wats_]

Your first beginner's guide was what got me to subscribe to your channel. But I'm locked in for this one too. Great work!

[@unit1473]

Damn I saw the title and had a flashback to the good old Totalbiscuit review videos

[@juliusmalcovsky4092]

If the Emperor didnt protect, how do you explain him sending us Luetin? ... Exactly 😊 Thank you sir for every video you post, ill never get tired listening to you.

My favorite House rule is destroyed vehicles & monster become terrain

Space marine 3 game idea!: You start off as a child in a hive city and quickly go through the journey of becoming a space marine. +100 points if the child becomes a salamander. Can have it where he was abused as a child and hates people, but with the salamanders learns to like them.

[@TrebleAmp]

Why am I watching this.. 30’years in 40k.. but it’s luetin lore vid.. so it’s a must listen! :)

[@RotalHenricsson]

I'm relatively new to 40k lore (bout 4 years-ish?) but i have read up on how it used to be and i'm mad glad i entered at a time where the storyline is *actually advancing*. From what i gather having to do a new beginner's guide after only 5 years is something of a new development and i'm here for it.

[@davidgillard4995]

I have been reading the books for years and enjoy the immensely. Where I have no intention to play the table top game, I enjoy painting the figures, the Smurfs being my favourite. Great video as usual Luetin.

[@jarengunderson]

I’ve watched all of LTs videos, read a bunch of books and played a ton of the games. I’m still going to watch this video because knowing 40k I’ll probably learn something new. Also I could listen to Luetin read the manual to a fax machine, mans great at telling stories.
