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.

[@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]

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.

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.

@@uncannymatt5904 I don't think that's accurate. Not even a little bit. There was never a saying that custodes HAVE to be male. This was also done to appease the writers who have been asking to write female custodes and space marines for decades. You can check both of these statements for veracity. I encourage you to. The best you'll find is a blurb that says something along the lines of "These son's" from the 80's. Orks were marsupials then as well it's worth mentioning. They had pouches and gave live birth. This implies that these mammals were also all female. I bet THAT's ok to change, even though it destroys established lore.

I transplanted from Star Wars I think around the pandemic, because I was just so fucking sick of the Sequels, and I had given up hope of getting a whole show about the Clone Wars with the darker tone of Umbara, and with the Seperatists given the same level of menace and effectiveness they had on Dathomir. Instead, I found Russian Badger's video on Space Marine 1, and realized that Warhammer was much more up my alley in brutality and overall theming than Star Wars.

[@Sercotani]

hell yea. They're both Space Fantasy settings too. They're not hard sci-fi, and people who think the lore is limited in any way by real life bs hasn't gotten into a "is it grimdark or grimderp" discussion concerning Imperial Navy ships using manual human labour to load shells instead of just using goddamned autoloaders.

[@orchirion]

​@@Sercotani Tau win by pure efficiency, not by better tech which the imperium has but we use it so improperly that it's sad. This is the future so why are the mechanicus using binary instead of quantum bits? Tragic comedy setting is what I see. Cheers ☕

[@blam320]

Sounds like you just weren't into Star Wars at all, given you don't seem to like the more lightheartedness and noblebrightness of that universe to begin with.

[@YOGI-kb9tg]

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

[@clan741]

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.

[@DirtHermit]

Fire Warrior deserves a Remake

[@conorflinn600]

100%

[@Dracobyte]

Yup. The Tau and specially the auxiliares deserves some love.

[@oh7mak]

I have spent too much time planning out a sequel involving Kais wielding a railgun carbine, fusion blade, and lots of Khorne demons despite my complete lack of experience in game development

[@anthonyhodap1949]

I got into 40K through WesHammer and his shorts, eventually growing to listening to him, adeptus ridiculous and other podcasts while I work.

[@squaresphere]

I feel like going from SM2 to the Warhammer 40 Wrath and Glory tabletop RPG is one of the easist way to getting into more IRL warhammer.

[@Dracobyte]

How so? Honest question.

[@Aceshot-uu7yx]

Wrath and Glory is a lot like DnD, but its alot more focused on cool naratives without the minute mechanics of other 40k rpgs.​@Dracobyte

[@EtherealDoomed]

I first encountered 40k after hearing about the origins of Starcraft, but then started my slide properly with TotalBiscuit's original Space Marine video

[@GeneralSic66]

check out the continuation of Pariah Nexus on Warhammer+ called Tithes. The second episode has a Sister of Silence (She does BSL) & the FIRST female Custodes. By the way, I love the portrayal of the female Custodes... she kicks ass in it.

[@Dracobyte]

Cool!

[@MarineCARMINE]

My intro to Warhammer is dawn of war 1 and 2. I love 40k but when I got into total war warhammer 2 before 3 came out I fell in love with OG warhammer more than 40k. OG warhammer has a lot of really cool lore that imo is better than 40k. Also Archaon's lore is really cool and in AOS he is basically unkillable.

[@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.

[@madwill6569]

I will admit I got more into Warhammer because of the fall of Starwars. I still like Starwars, but I don't like what it's becoming.

[@TheMannamies]

I agree with the closing statement

[@conradbarnes9671]

As soon as I learned about dreadnoughts and salamanders I knew this was the thing for me.

[@scooterdescooter4018]

The Salamanders are the biggest bros in all of fiction. Straight up.

[@intellectual001]

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

[@magosofmars8410]

Bricky is 100% right i have a first born squad leader who killed a bloodthirster back in 4th edition at my local games workshop to this day he is my only named generic space marine i even free hand painted the laurels of victory around his head

[@vegladex]

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.

[@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.

[@RingareMirOle]

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

[@AnimatedTerror]

My favorite part of 40k is when people ignore all the cutscenes in the campaign and listen to an audiobook at the same time and then ask questions about what happened in the story they weren’t paying attention to when the thing they’re questioning was already answered… in the story they half listened to. Nah but really I jest. Love the podcast. Glad more people are discovering the hobby. Edit: my claims have been debunked. Praise the omnissiah!

[@Howler452]

Nah you're right, gotta keep them respectfully humble 🤣

[@Loopy-Loophole]

Wait, I’m sorry. So he didn’t actually pay attention to the story then complained about the story?

[@Bricky]

Wait do people think I listened DURING the game? I'm pretty positive I said after I played it unless I misspoke. I would never play a first run of a game's campaign while listening to an audiobook that's insane behavior lmao

[@Asterion_Mol0c]

​@@Bricky I still think your completely wrong about the story

[@AnimatedTerror]

@@Bricky does your presence still bless me with bricked up jorts even if the reason you’re here is to “um actually” me?

[@benhramiak8781]

I got into it painting with my dad and brother. First book from 40k I read was nightbringer. Anyone else read Nightbringer?

[@Deathbrecht]

I don't know if someone mentioned it, but Dawn of War 2 Retribution does have a Tyranid campaign.

[@fennrir9809]

To reiterate: Just read the Horus Heresy in order. You can skip some but the payoff of The End and The Death is soooo goood

[@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

[@Daddy_Kaiju]

Got Mr. 22 inch inseam on the pod? Very nice. Zaibatsu represent.

[@BigDaddyBeige]

I got my start in Warhammer because of Bricky. I was watching his videos when every faction explained came out and it immediately hooked me and haven't missed an episode of adric or brickys lore

[@TuShan18]

I think y’all should read know no fear. That book made me a true blueberry believer. Besides that, my intro to warhammer was dawn of war 1. I had fun with it, but understood none of it. I actually thought the player was the emperor because I read that the emperor directs the imperium through psychic power. Then I learned about more of it just through the grape vine. I thought it was cool that they had models, but I didn’t put a model together for years at the time. Then I decided to try model kits and get into warhammer fully to deal with grief. Something to take my mind off it. I’ve been into warhammer properly for 6 years now. I’m more jaded now, but I love the setting and models too much to drop it Also, the dusk raiders is pretty mortarion, and they still have an amazing color scheme. Death guard look incredible throughout the ages.

[@Sercotani]

for anyone reading this, read The First Heretic first. It's an amazing couple of books and then read Betrayer third. Unironically the best trilogy of books in the Heresy.

[@CthulhuOnCam]

Ahhh I forgot how fun the starts of quite but slowly goes more and more animated and insane Pat could be

[@adaelion3772]

What got me into warhammer is one of my favorite ttrpg streamer groups playing rogue trader. I loved the mechanicus character the most, saw their figures, and was sold on warhammer.

[@tjm11015]

I got into Warhammer when I was about 10 or 11, my best friend growing up was into it, really into Chaos👹👾💀😈 That was late 90's and now im my son is 11 and is named after that friend😂

21:00 the first book the kids planet gets exterminadus and their parents all die, then they go to a necron tomb and hunted by a death mark

[@Its-Just-Zip]

On thw topic of getting new players into the hobby: I think James Workshop is purposefully not pushing to get people into the hobby from getting them into the lore because of how many roadblocks they are. They seem to be intentionally setting up the lore to be its own thing, and if that drives table top sales then great.
