SO YOU LIKE WARHAMMER40K?
11 years ago
So I am a huge (and growing) fan of the Warhammer 40k franchise, and am currently plowing my way through the huge library of Warhammer books. (currently working on the prolific Horus Heresy series.) And if anyone cares, then I would love to list out some of my favorites of the franchise both in gaming, books, and random trivial content!
1) Favorite Book
This one is pretty hard for me as the Horus Heresy series has been absolutely incredible. So far, my absolute favorite books have been Galaxy in Flames, and Fulgrim.
Additionally, the Adeptus Mechanicum, (or Tech-Priests) are the coolest faction in the universe (aside from chaos of course hahahaha) and the Priests of Mars novel was an incredible read that I enjoyed very much, and was also my first 40k book I bought. (There is also the similarly good Lords of Mars, which is the sequel.)
2) Favorite Games
I love the 40k universe as a plotline, and an environment for gaming, and I very much value how alive it feels. Due to this I have a hard time not completely loving any of the full fledged games presented in this franchise.
My definite gold medal goes to Dark Heresy (and probably Dark Heresy 2 if I ever get my hands on it)
Its an incredible tabletop game, with simple rules that are easy to learn but hard to master. I am a bit amateurish as a Game Master, but I fucking love the game and am still trying to get
remnants to fucking play. Its a goddamn good time and DnD with guns and deamons and hereteks is just amazing.
Silver goes to Warhammer40k Dawn of War 2 (with Chaos Rising) it is an amazing squad based RTS with rpg elements and a cool story. It's a few years old but holds up like no other. I enjoyed this game like crazy and it did a great job portraying tyranids, greenskins, and chaos. if you have not played it, do yourself a favor and get it right fucking now on steam.
Bronze goes to Warhammer 40k Space Marine because you get to play a 3rd person Space Marine. enough said. Good voice acting, decent plot, nice action.
Random Trivial shit:
Favorite Legion: As of right now I think my favorite Legions are tied between the World Eaters (traitor Legion, Primarch Angron "the Red Angel") and the Iron Fists (Loyal Legion, Primarch Rogal Dorn)
Favorite Faction: The Adeptus Machanicus, or Tech Priests of Mars. All hail the Omnissiah.
Favorite Warhammer Units: Dreadnoughts and Titans.
Anyways, I will try to be getting into the tabletop version of the game soon, since I now have a second job to support my alcohol addiction. (Just kidding I play Magic and Dota, I dont have time to drink)

What book in the Horus Heresy series are you on?!!
Do you have any of the miniatures?!!!
Who's your favorite author?!! I LOVE Graham McNeil
& No, I am probably going to start getting miniatures soon though, now that I have a second job. Most likely going to go for chaos space marines and Death Korps of Krieg because yes.
My favorite Authors are definitely Ben Counter and Graham McNeil.
How about you?
I myself don't have any miniatures either, but I'd love to get some when I have the funds. Yeah chaos forces in genral are p awesome, which is odd for me cause I don't usually like the "bad guys", but 'dem chaos 'doe they be killin' it
My favorite book in the series thus far would have to be Nemesis, though that's a tough call cause I like soo many of them and it will probably change the more I read into the series.
Actually, if you want help supporting your new drug addiction, I work at a game store that is closing, I can get you cheap miniatures ouo
Anyways, yeah, I would fucking love to get some basic stuff! (Paints, minis, codexes, etc) ((if you have chaos space marines I'll die))
I am getting paid at the end of the month, so I could toooootally go for feeding WH and MTG addictions!
I actually own a cube~ Its like all I do with my life is play magic, fuck I'm a nerd :I
LIke 60+% of my income goes to magic right now, cause I have nothing else in my life right now. If I still have money left over at the end of the month I am getting a khans box for sure.
Thank the goyf for art.
