Warhammer 40k

A community dedicated to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a tabletop setting in the far, distant future.

This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.

Rules

  1. Keep it civil.
  2. No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
  3. Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
  4. No political or social cause agenda pushing.

How did you choose your first army? (lemmy.world)

I like the aesthetic of sm, eldar, drakhari, tau, orks. Gameplay wise I don't know what I will prefer as I've never played a full game or my own list.

So how the hell did you choose your first army?

It’s so dumb. I wanted to start the Tyranids cuz they looked cool, but my mother said they looked too evil (good thing I didn’t show her Chaos or DE) so I went with Tau instead. Later picked up Necrons because they gave off major “cosmic horror” vibes.

While I appreciate the newcrons because now they have actual characters/stories (who doesn’t love Trazyn) and new models, there was something really cool about the more mysterious 3rd edition Crons that has sadly been lost. Also rip Pariahs.
