What makes Warhammer 40k good? The art, the grim dark, the variety of stories to be told, DA BIG MEN WITH BIG GUNS SHOOTING EVIL ALIENS? Maybe over the top violence, taken 100% seriously? Maybe the tabletop war-game? Miniature painting and collecting? A faction for everyone, the span of mediums - from books to movies to video games, the depth of lore? THE COMMUNITY? EXPLORATION OF FAITH & BELIEF EVEN? Let's figure it out with our special guest Pat from PatStaresAt & Castle Super Beast

For me, 40K pulls that deep part of my primal curiosity. I _was_ that person that kept asking questions about "why this, why that". And to be fair, my childhood was _full_ of that. "Oh, you like these multicolored Lego robots that you can build and play with? Here's a bunch of books, comics, and online games about why they exist."

The fact that people outside US, UK, Canada, Japan or some countries in Europea can not even regularly afford to buy ONE 40k miniature should tell you that the tabletop Game is no longer the dominante way to get intro the franchise. Great podcast and great guest!

[@Loopy-Loophole]

The price and just table top in general being more niche is a barrier of entry that make the games the far more popular entry point.

[@definitelynotcheng1083]

Even then, the tabletop is still very niche. Not everyone has the time and place to play it.

[@janematthews9087]

Well we live in a world where going out to places just to socialize is a becoming a rare event for a lot of kids who grew up with a KZbin and TikTok on their faces. Going to a hobby shop to play games was already a crapshoot whether the local garbage man decided to take a bath today or not, imagine the kids who will go there and have little or false idea of publicly acceptable behavior. Nah, just stick to the games and online tabletop simulators.

Bro imagine an Aliens game, but you play as a lictor/genestealer! Crawling through vents, kidnapping guards and probing their mind, evolving and creating a cult

[@vegladex]

When they said "You couldn't really do a game as a 'nid" my mind IMMEDIATELY went to playing like Assassin's Creed, but you're a Lictor. Tbh though Lictors are kinda enormous, so if you want to be able to fight human sized targets, you've probably got to downgrade that to a Genestealer. Or maybe a Genestealer Cultist, so you can pass as human too. Oh god, I brought it back to "playing as a human" again, JUST GIVE US MORE XENOS GAMES PLEASSSSEEEEEE.

[@nmr7203]

A Nid game seems like it's be a rouge like where you're expected to die eventually and restart from the beginning

[@AAhmou]

A genestealer cult simulator would be lit where you initially play as a lone genestealer, grow to be a patriarch, micromanage your troops as decades go by and occasionally personally doing mission to ruin the local authorities.

Maybe an Orca v Tyranids game where you both expand your numbers from small squads to entire planet-loads of bodies. I think it's even canon!

[@Triptides77]

On the Cadia point.. In Dark Tide during character creation, if you're playing the guardsman and select Cadia as your homeworld, the game actually just shows a debris field instead of a planet.

[@Dracobyte]

Cadia stands... in pieces.

[@burnin8able]

I absolutely love that as a world building point because it establishes instantly that the game takes place post turn of the millennium and after the 13th black crusade, but also soon enough that you have normal human people (who are low enough on the totem pole that there's no way they have access to anything life extending) who lived through the fall of cadia as playable characters. Instantly without an explicit date you know the game probably takes place at most like 30-40 years afterwards. the destruction of cadia and the great rift are fresh in everyone's minds still, primaris marines are brand new, etc.

Speaking of virtual 40k: you can actually find a table and armies on table top sim. So you could in theory go full on simulating a table top

[@RougeMephilesClone]

Loved having Pat on, this was a great episode. My Warhammer origin story is simple: I encountered it during late elementary/high school TV Tropes scrolling on pages I liked to frequent, and at some point I saw the Angry Marines comic. You know the one. Casual interest without engagement continued from there until I found Adeptus Ridiculous some time after its first anniversary. Then I bought the first Space Marine game, already being aware of its reputation (before AdRic I had also bought Deathwing, but I understandably just played it once). I haven't bought anything else in the franchise, but I have listened to days of lore by this point, and I am content with my long-distance relationship with Warhammer Fantasy and 40K.

[@romanmyth4991]

Same here, although I dont think it was the Angry Marines but a bunch of short stories on 1d4chan. I still remember "Son of a Woodsman". Classic.

[@Zakvadr1995]

Some additional Game ideas that I think would sell: Ork Rougelite game where you progress and loot/salvage different upgrades across a Hivecity/Mechanicus forge world. Each time you die you’re just a new Nob who got promoted because your old Nob died. Hive City Sim, where you start off on a new colony world just after the HH and build and develop your word over the course of millennia, trade deals, Mechanicus intrigue, raising guard regiments, chaos cults, Xenos influence, family drama, mutations, Invasions, Inquisition reviews- the possibilities are endless! Chaos/ Genestealer Cult Sim, building up your cult on a world, different trees for increasing different areas such as the Nobility, Normal Civilians, Under hive gangs, Mechanicus outpost/research and the like when the final part is to summon your Dark Master/ Hive Fleet and try and keep control until they get there!

[@Dracobyte]

I have similar ideas about your Chaos/Genestealer game. I visualized it as a deck-building title where the cards in your hand determine your actions on each turn.

[@Dracobyte]

I also want an Eldar Game in the same way Banner Saga / Oregon Trailer was.

40k is so good simply because it's a unique and glorious blend of insanity and stupidity with barely any regards for such silly concepts as "realism" or "staying grounded". The main human faction is a bunch of insane theocratic genocidaires whose armies include roided-out knight supersoldiers, fanatical nuns in power armor, skyscraper-sized mechs and legions of redshirts. They fight undead robot Egyptians using broken gods as pokeballs, an entire race of hyperviolent space hooligans whose technology runs on make-believe, literal Daemons from space hell and tons and tons of stuff like that, and you're free to either lean in on the ridiculous aspect or play it completely straight and everything in between!

My warhammer origin story is...... kinda vague. My dad wasn't into warhammer specifically, but he always moved in the older board/wargaming community, bought and sold stuff, and had a few boxes with space marines and titans on them lying around. He even had a couple of nearly-complete Epic-scale titans of various kinds, eldar, ork, and I THINK a really old weird design of Warhound or something. There were a couple of moments that actually got ME into the hobby though, one of which being when I saw a squad of Hormagaunts when we were in a wargames shop one time and the design stayed with me so hard that I decided I HAD to find out what they were. I've been a simp for Norn Queens ever since.

[@Sundown_Eden]

As someone who’s finally getting around to buying and painting minis after years of consuming lore and playing the games I would love Ad Ric or Bricky to do an introduction to the 40K Hobby. Have it be the rules of the minis, what army to choose, what models to buy. How to build and paint them. Right now I’m looking at getting into space marines, I wanted to play deathwatch but they are no longer an army as of recently so now it’s trying to figure out what space marines actually do - what all the words mean etc. Having one video or a short series of them explaining all of this would help a ton!

[@TheSpoegefugl]

Bricky, if you are going to make an introduction to the tabletop, may I come with a suggestion: Make some videos that emphasizes ways to play it in the most down to earth chill version ever. In other words: Only rules, and with substitutes for models! A big dealbreaker is often: You need an army of models, you must paint them, yada yada, and you (or I) get exhausted before I have even attempted to play the game. Make it light hearted, don't focus on the barriers, focus on the gameplay. All you really need is to know the rules well enough, and also a handful of dice. Substitutes for models can be bottle caps, other plastic figures, and substitutes for terrain can be books or any kind of things you have lying around. This doesn't apply if you want to talk about going to tournaments, but I feel like it's a point I rarely see.

Honestly the civilain people havi g to live part is one of the reasons i love dan abnetts inquisition books.

My very first brush with 40K was now many years ago because of TotalBisquit and his review of the original Space Marine game. I also watched the campaign of Dark Heresy that he was a part of but I did not really get into the subject matter for real until a couple of years ago. I started out with Sororitas novels, looked up the lore, read Horus Rising and it pretty much spiralled from there.

Totalbiscuit got a special mention in the Space Marine 2 credits.

TB was also my intro to Warhammer, but was because of his video about Blood Bowl

Oh hey new Bricky video I wonder-PAT’S IN ON THIS!? I couldn’t be happier to see two of my favorites crossover

For warhammer games not imperium focused, have one where you play as a eldar aspect warrior and the gameplay is very much metal gear rising inspired. Like mash buttons to chop a space marine to 20 pieces and use a psychic blast to blow the shrapnel pieces at the other marine.

[@Sercotani]

Somehow I can imagine bigots calling it woke because their precious space marines are getting mogged. But also it won't happen unfortunately. Xenos doesn't get that much love, but perhaps now that GW is getting braver and more susceptible to change, we can finally stop seeing Imperium dominance everywhere. Age of Sigmar does a good job at balancing their factions + respective lores. If only 40k could have that.

Oh hell yea my 2 favorite youtube groups are back together!

[@RingareMirOle]

I'm so hyped for Mechanicus 2 to have a Necron Campaign.

[@HowVeryOdd]

I'm one of the people who discovered 40k as a result of star wars constantly kicking me in the nuts and telling me to like it. I was desperate to escape the apathy, so i tried Boltgun, bought some minis and now i tune in for every one of your videos and i can say without a doubt that warhammer has given me far more enjoyment.

[@Muninnnr]

My first introduction to 40k was the original Dawn of War, playing it at a friends house. Witnessing a dreadnought pick up an ork in its fist, crush it, then spin it around while barbecuing it with the flamer is a core memory. That's was some 15 years ago, and my interest in the 40k universe has only grown since then.

[@intellectual001]

I need a "Glip Shitto" shirt, Bricky. Make it happen.

[@LordShonji]

So nice to finally be caught up with all 200 episodes with in 3 and a half months

[@L.Bomrek]

I got into Warhammer by one of the Mobile games. Horus Heresy: Drop Assault it was the visuals that made me say "ah ok this is cool"

[@TheMannamies]

I agree with the closing statement

[@BodyBagANDFriends]

40k even if its a parody of religion. I love seeing humans with FERVER. it emboldens me quite abit.

[@DrevDrakan]

Bricky you might want to add advertisements for Adeptus Ridiculous to your faction and timeline videos. I’ve watched a few reactions to them and they almost always want more information on something from them.

[@shawnjohnson4732]

“It’s Pat!” Well, that just sent me down an unexpected memory rabbit hole.

[@BambangCahyono-hv2ve]

sales pitch : 40k fighting game where it's just trazyn putting his collection against each other in his free time.

[@lazynomad3956]

I was re watching Bricky’s Boltgun game review and I think that pocket dimension in Space Marine 2 was a Labyrinth similar to the ones in Boltgun

[@domfour8109]

Dawn of war was one of the biggest warhammer gateway drugs out there.

[@TheDbend]

Really loving the addition of a Votann as a guest!

[@Jodamanify]

BEST POSTER EVER!!!! Literally signed up for patreon for the poster!

[@TrippyTigre]

That was the best ending segment so far 😂

[@HarlanMayne]

I missed Pat on here, we need more Pat when you guys talk about Nurgle or Orks again.

[@ThePhoenix743]

While DK's romcom comment now makes me want a romcom school life novel/comic based in the Scholar Progenia or whatever school for commissars and scions. We all know the original romcom in 40k come from Amber Vale and Ciaphas Cain, Gazkulthraka and Yarrick's tension comes in close second.
