Warhammer: The Final Boss of Nerd Stuff

[@ObviousPuppet]

Okay so I messed something up. The Dark Age of Technology is evidently the golden age of technology, from 15 to 25k. They call it that because they're scared of technology now. 25-29k, when everything was ACTALLY bad, is called the Age of Strife. Thank you comments for being polite about that.

My favorite thing about 40k lore is how much you can get out of it. One day you can be philosophically musing on the nature of evil, and the next day you can read about two Egyptian robot zombies with a 65 million year old grudge against each other using reality bending god technology to beat each other with their old man sticks.

[@Muninnnr]

The Infinite and The Divine is straight-up one of the best WH40k books I've read. It really puts the struggles of the Imperium in a different light as you see the millennia pass by from the eyes of a being that has lived for millions of years. For Trayzyn, the hold the Imperium has over a particular planet for a few millennia means nothing. To him, they come and go in the blink of an eye and they are barely worth the effort of exterminating as they will inevitably be gone in a few millennia more anyway.

[@Pali729]

Any nerd Fandom I've encountered has an incredible variety in how much money you can put into it and still enjoy the game. I play dnd at 2 tables. At my main table, the DM has a grid map with dry erase markers on his dining room table. I cameo at another table where the DM has several thousand dollars in minis, magnetic set pieces, a fog machine designed to not harm minis, smart lights installed in his house that he can change for story lighting effects like lightning or campfires, and a table designed for playing dnd. The thing is, I have about the same amount of fun at both tables. The cinematic experience at the one table is certainly a delight, but ultimately I'm there for the game experience and that doesn't change much between good tables.

Man sounds like you an ideaolgy that makes you a victim for no reason. Warhammer is aimed at adults, not children. It's not "classism" that some kids have richer families. Thats just the dice roll of life. That's what Warhammer is all about. Strategy, rules and randomness.

There's actually another reason why it might be called the dark age; there are little to no surviving records.

As a BIT of a veteran I wanna say: Warhammer is expensive AT FIRST. It has a HUGE buy in cost, but remember, unlike card games, you will use these miniatures for YEARS. You only need to buy them ONCE. People still use miniatures they bought and painted in the 90s, and they look GREAT! Remember it's an investment and a collection. And once you have your full army (~ 2.5 to 3k points) your spending amount DROPS through the floor. I spend maybe 20 bucks a month TOTAL on Warhammer and I have 4 full armies. Sorry bit of a ramble, but just remember, your buying in huge, yes. But the cost doesn't stay high for long, just remember to budget properly.

[@cjwarden1084]

This is exactly it -- it is probably less expensive than Magic the Gathering, but the costs are loaded differently. Given that (here in the UK), it costs around £200 to get a 1000-1500 point army if you don't buy from GW and instead buy from LGSs or second-hand, that's a big investment up front. But consider that you could easily spend £15 per card on average for a good Modern deck in MTG, or even £200 on a single playset for Standard (looking at you, Sheoldred), it's not that steep *compared to other nerd hobbies*. And like you say, I can still use the models from edition to edition (some of my Raider models are late-90s, and still game legal, still very useful units) -- whereas I'd be hard-pressed to find cards surviving Magic's power creep. Compared to "proper" board games as well, and £200 probably buys me 4-5 "big box" games. And will I actually play all of those regularly? Or will I play them once, spend most of game night trying to explain the rules to my wife and friends, and then people go "ah, that was fun as a one-off, but let's play Settlers again next week"?

Many of the core ideas of the lore are satirical but the smaller happenings and characterizations of various people and factions within the universe are not. Besides, satire is inherently subjective. It seeks to point out perceived failings of the subject matter but to some those "flaws" may not be flaws at all. Case in point, Rorschach from Watchmen. Not to mention the fact that arguments of satirical messages are indirectly presented just like any other art, leaving plenty of room for a different interpretation than the artist intended.

Looking at the books: Dan Abnett has a much more down to earth military narrative with the "Gaunt's Ghosts" series, McNeils Forges of Mars might often showcase he missery and horrort of an avarage human in 40k, "Brutall Kunnin" by mike brooks revels in wild and riddiculous misadventures of Orks, and Robert Rath does quite good Pratchett Impression in "Infinite and Divine".

I watched/heard this video while painting a friend's army (T'au Empire) and all i can say is this: This hobby is almost a life commitment and nobody is good at first. Lucky maybe but not good. However after a while you will become more adept to the lore, more skilled with the brush and more strategic with your army. And is soo satisfactory to win a game with a full painted army after an intense battle where the balance of power shifted from one player to another in a single round.. the emperor protects. Death to the false emperor. For the greater good. The ancestors are watching. Waaagh!!! Roleplay your army and have fun.

For those of you who are iffy on the price, let me mention "Kill Team" Its a offical warhammer 40k format were you play with a single squad. Thats right only one. Thats around $50 across the board for most if not all of the factions. Plus the "bespoke" kill teams (Ones GW makes for kill team) Its less models you need to paint to play and less money you need to give to GW. (not counting paints and books) It fun and much shorter time per game than a full 2000+ points game. As a seasoned 40K player since 6th edition take my word that is waaaaaay easier than lugging a full army around every where and massivly cheaper.

[@donnylurch4207]

I just got into 40K this year and it really is crazy how visible the hobby's presence is once you get into it. I tried to play Warhammer Fantasy Battles 20 years ago; my parents taught me to paint miniatures and I wanted to play the cool Warcraft-like game I saw at the comic store where I went to play Pokemon TCG. It didn't last long and I burnt out on painting, but I always wanted to return one day. I wonder how much of my decision to go for it was random chance and how much was market pressure. I have a Discord friend who kept pushing me to get interested in 40K and I was big into Magic the Gathering when suddenly, out of the blue, 40K crossed over last year with a set of licensed Commander decks. I was finally exposed to the lore and aesthetics first-hand, and I wanted more. Conveniently, I had *just* gotten back into miniature painting to supply my friends' new D&D group with painted minis, as well as painting the new Hero Quest game pieces. It all fit together too well. Anyway, I've been spending most of my free time on assembling and painting Orks for 6 months and only just got 500 points together to play Boarding Actions, which I have thus far played *once.*

[@dist0rted320]

What's even more crazy is how all of those games are connected! Without D&D, GW would never have existed. Without GW, Heroquest wouldn't have reached such an influential state, and without Heroquest's success, Warhammer wouldn't have been as popular as it is today!

[@achimdemus-holzhaeuser1233]

For those curious about the strategy of the tabletop game: those objectives mentioned in the video are your win condition, you win by completing more of them than your opponent, which is a gross oversimplification but essentially accurate. This shift actually only happened a few years ago, before then, while objectives existed, the actual strategy largely boiled down to "Kill before he kills you", now you can actually win games you should have lost(in terms of unit losses) by cleverly scraping together all the VP you can.

"How many Star Wars military units would have to die before Emperor Palpatine could take the Golden Throne from Holy Terra in the Warhammer 40K universe"? That was the topic being discussed. Turns out, BILLIONS. Billions would have to die. As an avid Star Wars fan and nerd, I was intrigued. A capable and powerful military like that of the Galactic Empire would lose that many? To this "Imperium of Man" I had never heard about? I decided to look into this 40K thing, and I NEVER turned back. I would also like to thank forum user Imperial Overlord for his wonderful fanfic, IN MEMORIA (40K), which was my first in-depth introduction to that fascinating universe, aside from wiki articles.

StarCraft was originally supposed to be a 40k Game. Things fell through early on though. There was a bit of a Legal Battle, and the end result was Dawn of War and Blizzard agreeing not to Sue Games Workshop for Dawn of War as long as Games Workshop didn't sue over StarCraft.

[@josephs1728]

There also is a warhammer shop in Manhattan beach in LA. The nice thing about going to official shops is that you can ask for building and painting tutorial and they’ll provide the materials and walk you through. On the game side it takes a lot of space (except the skirmish ones) and some smaller hobby shops may not let you have games. In the official you can call ahead and get a table or on a slow day just show up and they have terrain and matts there. Just have to be lucky that the manger at the shop is chill about the rules since GW is annoying when it comes to what you can use or talk about in the stores. The smaller Warhammer shops tend to be way more chill about non-official GW materials and tools being used.

I'm new, picked up a leviathan box spent the last 2 weeks or so making the models. I've bought paints and materials but I haven't even started basing/painting yet because I've been so distracted with customizing every model and reading lore. Surprisingly I'm only 200 bucks in right now, which is alot, but not as much as I expected. I think by the time my models are table top ready I'll be 400-600 in. Whilst its definitely not cheap by any standard, honestly I think I can get a few months worth of fun before I even consider actually playing the game. The 10th edition codices haven't even released yet so I'm gunna be waiting until then at least. Setting the actual game aside interacting with the community alone is amazing, going online talking in forums, finding niche communities who love successor chapters that no one has ever heard.

I will say that I didn’t care to much about the 40k side of things back when as I was, and still am, a Fantasy man. Not Age of Sigmar, but that which came before which to me had a much more interesting lore, but that’s just my opinion and people are allowed to like AoS more. The reason I mention this is because I grew up reading the Gotrek and Felix novels and they are what really made me fall in love with all the lore. Later I got into the Commissar Cain books and I still love both sets of books to this day. Gotrek and Felix is just a high fantasy good time with good guys, bad guys and a reoccurring after school villain like character. Commissar Cain is an incredibly interesting way of writing as it’s written as an autobiography of a Hero who, by their own admission, was just running for their life, fighting those enemies that got in his way, waiting for the dust to clear and then being praised as a hero because he accidentally killed the big bad while running. Both are excellent romps and both are available in audiobook form, though don’t buy them from GW as they are terribly overpriced. Just go on Audible and get one a month for 75% less then what GW charges with your free token.
