He could've been recommended 30k as a start

Anyway yeah its not a horrible starting point

but thats normal with 40k

daring creek

Don't be afraid to look things up if ur confused

Or ask questions

That is one series we'll recommend you to not look into

I HIGHLY recommend watching lore vids then taking a look at the book club here and just looking at the pin we have to pick a series you wanna start with

As an adult who plays Warhammer, I get a lot of questions when I mention my hobby. Is that a video game? Is it like D&D? If you've heard of Warhammer, or if someone you know is into it, but you're not totally sure what is actually is, then hopefully this will clear things up! What exactly do we DO with all those toy soldiers anyway?

So, what universe is Warhammer 40,000 set in? Ours, of course! After a friend asked just that question, I wrote this; a short guide to how the 21st century turns into the 41st Millennium.

And FINE. 21 minutes. :/

Holy shit I found a picture of an evil Warhammer 40k

daring creek
#

fruit has never been my thing

#

but

opaque coyote
daring creek
#

black berries are pretty good

#

but the texture

#

mm.

#

and how cold it is fresh out of the fridge

#

mm.

opaque coyote
#

A) Stains

daring creek
#

hm?

#

wha

#

oh

opaque coyote
#

B) He once bought a pack for me

#

Turned out to be filled with fly eggs

daring creek
#

jesus christ

opaque coyote
#

Never willingly bought one ever again for obvious reasons

#

It's too bad because black berries taste fucking great

#

But Raspberries are also bangers

daring creek
#

I find it kind of a struggle to eat these ngl

opaque coyote
#

I also find it funny that Blue Raspberry exists as a flavor.

But they never taste like raspberries

#

And also why does it exist

daring creek
#

they taste good just the crunch is really getting me

opaque coyote
daring creek
#

not rlly a crunch but like

#

squishy crunch

opaque coyote
#

The seeds

daring creek
#

yea

#

im not crazy about seeds

opaque coyote
#

Yeah I like blackberry feel better

#

But raspberry taste is better than blackberries

#

I like the slight sourness

daring creek
#

but I think uhhh

#

its something I can get used to?

#

but at the same time I can't see myself buying more

opaque coyote
#

I don't mind it

#

Obviously

#

But yeah blackberries have a better feel

#

Just prefer raspberry taste overall

daring creek
#

like I know I like something from the very start

#

If I like it, I'll buy it 50 times over

opaque coyote
#

Also again, find it funny that Blue Raspberry flavor exists despite blue raspberries literally not existing

daring creek
#

if I don't I never touch it again.

opaque coyote
#

Idk why they just don't label it as

#

Like

We buy our fruits from Costco

daring creek
opaque coyote
#

They're mostly good tbh

#

Besides the black berry incident, never had anything similar

hallow saddle
#

theres a blackberry bush near my house that i pick berries off when theyre ripe

opaque coyote

And said BlackBerry incident was when I was like

im torturing myself eating these

Btw

hallow saddle

now i will be paranoid about a fly egg infestation

opaque coyote
#

I am 21 for reference

daring creek

its like eating unseasoned brocolli

Never have it unsteamed

arctic talon

Grilled is fine

opaque coyote
#

Eh

daring creek

my family just made it bad I suppose.

hallow saddle

boiled is fine too tbh

arctic talon
#

If it’s mushy it’s gone too far

daring creek
#

nope

opaque coyote
hallow saddle
#

little bit of butter on it afterwards maybe

daring creek
#

no boiled shit fo rme

hallow saddle
#

oh yeah if its mushy u've fucked up

#

it should be firm still

daring creek
arctic talon
#

Gotta have some snap

opaque coyote
#

There's a reason why

daring creek
#

I like eating the head of broccoli mostly

opaque coyote
#

Every kids show has a child hate brussel sprouts

hallow saddle
#

i looove brussel sprouts too haha

opaque coyote
#

My dad hates them too

#

Along with raw spinach

daring creek
#

oh fuck

#

childhood memory time

opaque coyote
#

I'm fine with raw spinach personally tbh

#

Tbf I don't like any vegetables

daring creek
#

My mom would bring me home quiche

opaque coyote
#

As long as it has no eggs

dapper gyro
#

Brussel sprout is tasty.

daring creek
#

it was so good

#

I miss quiche

opaque coyote
#

Eggs are like

One thing I literally cannot handle

surreal nest

Maybe because when people become adult, the bitter taste felt just like life.

opaque coyote

goodness.

opaque coyote
#

I don't know why

daring creek

I love me some sunny side ups

hallow saddle
#

i looooooove eggs

opaque coyote
#

I just hate eggs

#

Scrambled, boiled, whatever

daring creek
#

aw dude

opaque coyote
#

Obviously fine if it's used for like cooking cake but in general

#

It's why breakfast was never my most important meal of the day

dapper gyro
#

Now I know your weakness, start to through egg at Laati.

opaque coyote
#

It's when it's cooked

dapper gyro
#

Im not from the US so egg doesn't cost a fortune.

opaque coyote
#

Again I don't know why

Autism

I wish raw eggs were safer in the US

lol

arctic talon

Again it's definitely the autism.

#

It's also why restaurants that are based off of like breakfast foods?

#

I'm kinda limited in options

#

I like waffles

#

I like pancakes

hallow saddle
#

yeah u gotta crush the pancakes etc

#

awesome

opaque coyote
#

But as soon as sausage and eggs are there. The whole plate is just fucking TAINTED

dapper gyro
#

Because the "breakfast" is pretty much a social construct.

opaque coyote

#

You eat it to tide you over

dapper gyro

For me and many people when I used to live in Eastern Asia, breakfast meal is the same as any other meals.

opaque coyote
#

Of the carrots

opaque coyote
#

I eat ice cream in winter

dapper gyro
opaque coyote
#

I know it's not like game breaking

#

But like

dapper gyro
#

Or diet

opaque coyote
#

I think it's better in the winter

arctic talon
#

there are still foods that are eaten in the breakfast more often then in other meals tbf

opaque coyote
#

The ice cream keeps itself together longer

opaque coyote
dapper gyro
#

Which, to be honest, it is not even true. European breakfast up to the early 1900s is very filling.

arctic talon
#

yes

opaque coyote
#

Compared to western diets where it's different

#

For some

#

Reason

#

Marketing ig

#

But waffles and pancakes are fucking delicious

arctic talon
#

anyways no one really eats this for any meal other then breakfast in Taiwan for example

#

I mean it is just normal meal items but like

#

not this dish combination

dapper gyro
#

Old full meal breakfast in France is very close to a typical dinner.

#

Until they hit the famine...

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Probably

#

Its very popular in Taiwan

#

its carbs on carbs lmao egg optional

opaque coyote
dapper gyro
#

Marketing.

near wasp
#

Breakfast burritos and biscuits and gravy are my go to

opaque coyote
#

Carbs are important, it's just that our diet in general is unbalanced

arctic talon
#

nah its just funny from a conceptual standpoint

opaque coyote
#

So instead of

#

Idk

dapper gyro
#

People want to eat but don't want to move.

arctic talon
#

that its a deep fried doughstick

#

wrapped in bread

opaque coyote
#

But yeah

arctic talon
#

I mean yeah

#

its not unusual

#

its just funny

opaque coyote
#

I like the fried dough sticks though

opaque coyote
dapper gyro
#

I eat a lot of those back in the day.

arctic talon
#

I prefer salty soy milk

#

ngl

opaque coyote
#

I have no idea why like

dapper gyro
#

It is not breakfast, but rather snack.

arctic talon
#

yeah

#

youtiao on its own is just a snack

opaque coyote
#

Deep fried butter exists

arctic talon
#

Its a gimmick food

#

thats why it exists

opaque coyote
#

It doesn't even taste different from regular butter

dapper gyro
#

A lot of snack are now labelled "breakfast" or some fking reason.

arctic talon
dapper gyro
#

Cereal is a snack. If you just eat it alone, it is never enough.

arctic talon

its to price gouge people at places lol

  • Cheerios (Hate them)
arctic talon
opaque coyote
#
  • Eggplant
arctic talon
#

not really

#

but still

opaque coyote
#

I hate how mushy it becomes when you cook it

dapper gyro
#

Egg was the evil food for like 20 years for the cholestenone content from studies funded by questionable sources.

opaque coyote
#

Although my dad might just be cooking it wrong

#

And like

#

Some Italian restaurants

arctic talon
#

I mean

#

if its steamed its gona be mushy

opaque coyote
#

Yeah

arctic talon
#

if its stir fried its also kidna mushy

#

I really like eggplant though lol

#

I like the taste

opaque coyote
#

I ain't eating them though

dapper gyro
#

I generally don't like eggplant.

#

Some of the plates are good though.

opaque coyote
#

Like I would eat them if I was like

About to die of starvation

But that's about it

arctic talon

I really like uh

I don't know what its called in english shit

uhhhhhhhhh

Question: what are some bigger or scarier enemies a scrappy underdog veteran guardsmen could reasonably, with a lot of luck and grit, take out?

#

I feel like a chaos space marine is a little too powerful

arctic talon
jade holly
arctic talon
# uncut edge I feel like a chaos space marine is a little too powerful

Need plasma/melta/some other special weapon to be more believable: CWE aspect warrior, Drukhari Incubus, Marines(all inclusive), ogryn with armor, Grotesque, Hearthkyn Warrior, tau battle suit(crisis or stealth), Tyranid warrior

Lasgun is fine: normal wych, normal kabalite warrior, eldar guardian, cultist champion, ogryn without armor, high ranking traitor guardsmen officer, anything human in carapace armor can die to a lasgun without much issue.

#

Guardsmen are kind of

#

Always punching up lol

#

A lot of factions have gear lasguns really cannot deal with without concentrated fire/getting extremely lucky with a gap

#

So if they’re on their own the best bet to kill something impressive is always gona be grenades or special weaponry

uncut edge
#

Hell yeah

#

Thank you, I’ll keep that in mind when writing my short story

arctic talon
winter pine
#

I think a good thing to keep in mind is the big difference between one lasgun and 10,000 aimed on the same target

#

There's an excerpt of a Chaos Marine warning some other slaves to darkness to not dismiss the lasgun because it's can still kill them dead if enough guardsmen aim right

arctic talon
#

Yeah

#

Ironically in a FFG game

#

Where a normal human can become immune to lasguns without too much issue

winter pine
#

The Legionnaire that scoffs at a lasgun has not charged across an open field against a hundred of them.

uncut edge
arctic talon
#

That bit is really hard to reach

#

but if it got stuck in yes

#

other wise it can crack ceramite

#

it'll just take some time

#

which the guardsmen might not have 💀

uncut edge
#

I’m thinking the guardsmen in question has a krak grenade or a melta gun, having the reader belive that’s how the marine will die but the conflict twists, and the final blow ends up being a lucky chainsword strike eviserating the neck

#

It would probably require the legionnaire in question go be pompously monologuing which is an overused trope or something to that extent

winter pine
#

The Chaos Marine getting worn down by both the krak grenade and melta before the guardsmen snuffs him with a chainsword is totally believable imo

uncut edge
#

Like shots and grenades that barely miss a lethal hit wearing them down

winter pine
#

Maybe the grenade takes off one of his arms for dramatic effect and a bit more believability

uncut edge
arctic talon
#

I’d have the melta miss or cripple the marine, bcs anything center mass or to the head just kills them on the spot lmao

uncut edge
#

That’s what I was thinking

arctic talon
#

Krak’s don’t always kill a marine so you can have that one stick but cripple em as well if you want like Yuuka mentioned

uncut edge
#

The guardsmen in question also would’ve been thrown through near mind shattering warp horrors and fights being lost to chaos the entire time. And I think the warp never truly leaves the deeper recesses of the guardsmen’s brain

winter pine
#

I don't know if it's lore accurate that the Krak grenades stick to armor like they do in Darktide but it's cool enough to me that I'd go with it

uncut edge

I’d also go with it

And he battles with it

arctic talon
#

Yeah that works

crisp heath

#

Now as for the ending, I’m split between a rogue trader recruits him into their retinue or a commissar executing him for the warp touched psyche KEKW_ogryn

winter pine
#

I like the former with a Rogue Trader or Inquisitor because it's a combo of both less and more grimdark

arctic talon
uncut edge
#

Also could lead to a sequel‼️

winter pine
#

Sort of a happy ending but he's gonna meet an even worse ending because of it, almost 100%

arctic talon
#

Comissar blowing their brains out is depressing but if you want finality

#

Pick it

#

Working for an inquisitor or rogue trader usually will end with an even more horrific death

#

Then getting your brains splattered by a boltgun

uncut edge
#

I’ll see which one makes more sense as he bloodily exits the warp infested cave or factory

#

Thank you all for being my wall to bounce ideas off KEKW_ogryn

winter pine
#

It's my favorite kind of 40k lore discussion tbqh

#

Same with the TTRPG GMs looking for advice on a scenario

uncut edge
#

If I were to run a 40K ttrpg game the players would 100% be members of a rogue traders retinue

#

Another note: I think it would be sick if the sergeant of the squad fell to chaos and backstabbed the squad and the protagonist puts him down leading up to the marine fight climax

winter pine
#

My favorite part of Owlcat's Rogue Trader were the colony events and summoning the party members as actual advisors on how to handle a problem.

That in a ttrpg would be superb

#

From the series were the High Lords have to call in the Dark Eldar to fix the failing Golden Throne

arctic talon
#

Yep

uncut edge
#

Do other penal legions besides the last chancers let exceptional penal soldiers graduate to being a guardsmen

#

I’m thinking the protagonist could be a fella nick named “sole” because throughout the entire tour he was on, he was the only lad that survived every minefield and machine gun nest they were thrown at. At the beginning of the story, it’s his first ever deployment and a proper and humble guardsman

#

Canon fodder that got promoted to meat grinder instrument

arctic talon
uncut edge
#

I kind of want a dialogue to go something like
Guardsmen: “I wish command would supply us more charge packs!”
Sole: “I’m just happy to start enter a firefight with a gun in my hands for once”

#

Or something to that effect

#

Because in the penal legions, one out of 10 or 20 lads would get a lasgun. Very Soviet esc

dapper gyro
#

Depends. Surviving and performing are 2 different things.

uncut edge
#

I’d say if I was a commissar and if I sent a penal legion member through several minefields and machine gun nests and he was consistently the only survivor, I’d be convinced the emperor himself was protecting that lad

dapper gyro
#

Despite the saying that the guardsmen surviving a battle are considered veterans, not all of them are the same.

#

Surviving hard, but not the hardest. The upstanding soldiers committed to completion of the mission are more likely to die.

uncut edge

Agreed

If I ever write something centered around humans in Warhammer 40,000 I'd just copy Cyberpunk RED / 2077's attitude of no happy endings

considering the context of 40k

and suspicion is probably enough lmfao

Was it even the wrong faction then? He still got promoted to Chaplain.

#

It does confuse me that Leandros wasn't punished for snitching. It's a clear breach of the chain of command within a chapter that is famously sticklers about such things.

opaque coyote
#

it might've been a case where they just let him off after yelling at him

paper haven
#

Getting your company commander snatched up by the inquisition on a hunch seems like a big deal

opaque coyote
#

"Literally fighting a Chaos Warlord, several daemons, and being fooled by a daemon puppeting a corpse... and somehow not being affected"

#

tbf if there is one chapter that would have a bunch of those types

#

It would be UMs

paper haven
#

I agree that it's extremely concerning but a chaplain is the only person who can judge

opaque coyote
#

I think it's been a while though so maybe Leandros got his punishment and worked his way up to chaplain regardless

paper haven
#

And Ultramarines, being so obsessed with protocol, not punishing Leandros for breaking it really bugs me

opaque coyote
#

Tbf it isn't his fault that the Inquistor turned out to be even more of a freak than usual

#

AKA hating space marines a lot

paper haven
#

Yeah I don't blame him for that

opaque coyote
#

and torturing Titus even more than the normal amount

dapper gyro
#

Remember that it is like 200 years since SM1 happened.

opaque coyote
dapper gyro
#

The dude has time to change, but the taint of chaos remain.

opaque coyote
#

It's very likely that Leandros already got his punishment

dapper gyro
#

(the dude is Leandros)

opaque coyote
#

and went through it

paper haven
#

Except no chaos taint was ever discovered

opaque coyote
#

and became a Chaplain

#

But this is just extrapolation due to the 200 year long timeframe

paper haven
#

In fact, literally the only person who insists it is the same guy who turned out to be a chaplain

dapper gyro
#

There is a big issue with the imperium is that aside from the top of the top in the system, not many people understand that warp power and chaos power are not the same.

opaque coyote

He just has a bias that needs to be dealt with by HR
